AVIATORS QUARREL.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25mm, 1914

No one expected to see a Védrines. Quinton duel. The famous aviator on bis return to Paria from Cairo declared that such a duel must take place un duel à mort ** in which one of us must be wiped out." He lost no timo in sending his seconds to the President of the French Aerial League, M. Quinton: The result of the meeting between the respective seconds completely altered things; a decision was arrived at to the effect that no duel could take placo, because Vedrines had refused to accept the challenge of Roux, the avintor, whom he assaulted! on landing at Cairo, It was further agreed that the telegram which M. Quinton sont to Védrines in Egypt constituting the basis of the challenge-naking him to fight Roux, or return to Paris, was no offence, and did not justify a crossing of swords, or an exchange of shots, The whole affair is likely to end in a farce, after looking so like a terrible tragedy, Reconciliate the parties, and compensate Vedrines allowing him to proceed on his Austra lian flying tour is the best solution

A HISTORIC BUILDING

OHTO BUILDING.

No one would think that the Invalides or French Chelaca Hospital-contained the remains of so illustrious a person as Napoleon I. The dome of the historio. building is a veritable disgracs, having born no long neglected for want

of funds. It was at one time gilt, and well hept in repair otherwise. The gilt has worn away, exposing a wretched state of affairs, of which the French have every reason to feel ashamed. What must be the impression of crowned heads and

contemplating such gross negligence? Surely France is still wealthy enough to pay for her past glories. What would the great dead Emperor say, could be but return to life, and see how his 20th century countrymen show their respect for his memory, and the many national institutions erumbling to pieces for want of adequate repairing 1.

LOST PROPERTY STATISTICS.

It will surprise many to learn that children are far more careful than their elders in looking after their property, This is especially the case in Paris. Statistics establish this fact. Jewellery beads the list, ladies brooches leading, with men's scarf-pins a good second- Then come what the French call valencs, by which are meant bank-hotes, purses containing money, pawnshop tickets, shares, ete. Not a doll hoop, or other toy is ever lost, Trne, grown-ups have more to think about than children, which often accounts for their absent mindedness.

UNFROTECTED HATPINS..

The new decrce of the Prefect of Police forbidding the wearing of unprotected Latpins has created quite a small revola- tion among Parisiennes, who declare that they will not submit to this ukose The Prefect of Police means what he says this time, and if the ladies will not comply with his decree by a certain time, he will bo under the painful necessity of inflict- ing heavy fines upon the disobedient.

CENTURY OF PEACE A

Mile. Dreyfus who is all sympathy with the project-declares that something out of the way brilliant and lasting should be done next year (1915) to celebrate a hundred years of peace between France and England, the same as is being dong this (1914) year to land and America. Mlle. Irma Dreyns celebrate a similar event between Eng- who is the founder of the Franço Britannique Alliance, maintains that the initiative must come from England; then will the French join in. There should be no difficulty about this has been proposed that, elaborate fêtes should be held simultaneously in both Anything likely to promote countries. and cement the friendship of the two peoples is certain of a hearty welcome.

The

simple truth is that when old plate was replaced (as, for example, when the cups and implements melted down in the Civil War had substitutes provided for them laler) tulleges kept alive the memories ci the original donors by placing on the new things the numer and dates, which the old ones had borne. They wanted to keep the Badition, and had no alea of fraudulent values. As it happens the fact that the dates are obviously wrong his in many cases blinded people to the fact that the cups are beautiful work. If you are much taken up with jeering at a Tudor date on a Jacobean loving cup you may forget that as Jacobean it is first-rate. That is a little thing which the recent revaluation has been putting right:
