ST. PAUL'S GIRLS' SCHOOL

Review of Work.

The annual distribution of prizes of St. Paul's Girls' Schoolf on Saturday afternion was at- tended by a large gathering of the parents and friends of the pupils.] The gymnasium of the Chinese YMCA that had been lent for the occasion was almost crowded. His Lordship the Bishop of Victoria (the R Rev. C. H. Duppay) pre- sided.

The presentation was performed by Mrs. Grace. Before the prizes were given away the pupils pre sented, in a creditable style, a and programme of songs, drills cther things which they have learnt in addition to books. Given by a number of young girls the re- citation of "Welcome" and a scene entitled "The Deaf Grandma" were

particularly well received, the Auency of speech and the correct) bearing of the little ones proveking favourable comments. The girls of the Middle School demonstrated their prowess in group games and' the manipulation of the Indian! Clubs, and also gave a very grace- ful exh bition of a Gavotte.

THE FRENCH BUDGET.

Paris. Feb. 8.

Though the Chamber recently adopted the Budget, it did not suc- caed in balancing revenue and expenditure, and the Finance Commis sion of the Senate has now refused to examine the Budget before the Chamber has succeeded in balancing it. The sub-committee, recently appointed in this connection by the Chamber's Finance Commission, has decided to submit to bankers and financiers a scheme, whereby taxation officials will be empowered to enter banks and examine their accounts. The sub-committee will subsequently, with the Minister of Finance. investigate further methods of reducing expenditure and. creating fresh taxation resources to replace the twenty per cent. general increase of taxation which has been adopted. Thereafter an attempt will be made to draft a bill for presentation to the Chamber.
