Whatever happens she may feel that she has been justified at the bar of world" opinion' and bask in the moral self-approbation which that affords her. But it is a weakness which will cost her much in the future that she does not awaken to the urgent necessity of acting, not necessarily by force of arms, but in the educntion of her people for the issue of the present diffleuities, and in the pre- servation of a strong government with which the Leaguo, America or, for the matter of that, Japan may treat.

Paris has always been a noisy city, and in the daytime it is still full of horrid shocks алд elamoura; but M. Chiappa, the active Prefect of Police, has made up his mind that at night, at loast, there must be allence, that Parisians and their foreign visitors can enjoy their sleep,

For the past year he has por- severed with the taak of Bringing a comforting pnlt of silence down on the city after midnight, and the success he has achieved is wonderful.

Now, when one is belated and goes home in the early hours of the morning, driven by some clean- ahaven Russian chauffeur, it is amusing to notice how at corners he suddenly refrains from sound- ing his horn ovon when his hand is already touching it. The police rule is that no motor horns, are to be sounded after midnight. The taxicab lights can be used as

a warning signal to cross traffic, but the golden advice given is to slow up at all corners and never to make a noise:
