NO NEED TO SNORE.

A French scientist is reported to have discovered after rears of research a reme dy for snaring. He finds that this objec Honably performanos is the result of a narrowing of the passages between the nose and the throat, and adds the corollary that the condition is more common in country dwellers.

It is remarkable that it should have been found necesary to broadest such a fuding after the propaganda work which has beet: undertaken during the past few years. But the idea till persists that snoring is a habit dependent upon want of contreft an the part of the performer.

Snoring is caused by the vibration of the soft palate when a Hevper lies with his mouth open. The open mouth is usually due to some form of nasal obstruction pro reating ordinary quiet a breathing The attention of the medical profesies has been directed to the cure of such a vendi. tion for at least 30 years.

The closing of the asal passages ma be a temporary condition; for example, aa ordinary cokl, or of a more permanent nature where there is chruie catarh, a twisting of the central partition of the nose occluding our nostril, hypertrophy of tha bones in the inner west, or, most vom- men of, all, blocking of the back of the nose by adenoid growth.

This interference with nasal breathing is more common than is generally suppos | ed. About one child in every thirty saf fers from masal obstruction at home"stage

TOO EASY DIVORCES.

American divorees in Paris will no longer, e simple affairs, as in the past. (writes the Daily Telegraph's correspon dent). When Americans wanted to get rid of their matrimonial yokes they re- paired here in streams and found the freedom they sought with the minimum of trouble. The Paris Courts obtained an enviable reputation for effecting lightning divorces, but French justice, far from being Battered, has found it neces sary to overhaul the dachinery which worked too freely, in the interest of cer tain American society people. All i changes the latest decree issued by the Minister of Justice. In future the French Courts will only grant divorces on grunds that are admissible by the huine States of the applicants, and the judgments must be accompanied by the publicity of that State. As a result of the decree. forty American applications for divorce have been withdrawn since December. Last month there were forty- eight applications awaiting the signatures of juters. As showing the effect of the intention to insist on the six months' residence in Paris of applicants for divorce, it has to be note that at the present moment there are unly six Ameri can divorce applications pending. But probably more effective as a deterrent to quick divorces is a law which came into

In this connection it has to be stated that it is the experience of High Cutirt officials that nine out of ten American divorces granted here have been on grounds of declining to resuma marital relations, and this, under French law, constitutes technical abandonment.
