THE BELGIAN PAVEMENT.

The numerous experiments that have
been made in material for city streets
have resulted in a verdict in favor OF the
Belgian block. The largest cities are

can be question and nothing has been

manner, except that nothing like cement

like the Nicholson pavement, except, OF
course, it is harder, but quite as smooth
and almost rs noiseless. Taking into
Consideration the superior durability OF
the Belgian block, over any other pave

fixed certain standards Of qualification
tor these positions which will be a cup
of oblivion to many applicants. II is
announced that he will FIJI all the i'm
portaut commercial consulates by the sp.
pointment only of men of commercial
experience. In selecting consuls fer
Oriental ports, where judicial duties have
to be performed, none except educated
lawyers will be appointed; and one Of
the essential qualifications required of
all consuls will be that they shall be
able to speak the Ian guage of the country
in which they are stationed. These
rules seem to be but reasonable, and if
strictly enforced will very much increase
the efficiency and respectability of the
consular service.
