The Cult Of Silence.

From the Outlook
Now, to keep ones freshness there ought
to be a zone of silence around every human
being during some part of every day. 1t Is
significant that the great religions of the
world have come out Of silence and not out
oe noise, and the finest creative work Is
done, as a rule, in seclusion-not necessari-
ly apart from men nor in solitary places,
but away from the tumult and away from
distracting sounds.
1t is in silence alone that We come into
possession of ourselves The noises of life
disturb US as cloud of dust intervenes be-
tween the eye and the sky. There ought to
be q cult for the practice of siience-a body
of men and women committed to the pres
ervation of the integrity Of their souls by
neither hearing nor making speech for GER
tain periods. pledged to the culture of the
ahabit of quietness
Maeterlinck has pointed out the fact that
the best things are never spoken and the
truest Intercourse between congenial spirits
is carried on without words. II we said less
and thought more there would be far fewer
things to explain. many sources of irrita-
ton would be dried up at the sources, and
the prime cause of irritation, which is ner-
vous exhaustion or excitement, would be re-
moved

Medical Certificates for chauffeurs.

From Harper's Weekly.
The question Of improving the laws and
regulations relating to automobiles Is at
tracing considerable attention in France,
and a draft has been made Of certain new
regulations for legislative consideration. In
the licensing of chauffeurs it is proposed
that each applicant must possess medical
certificate In order to have men of abso-
Iutely sound health in charge of motor
cars. 1t has been found that in numerous
Instances in France chauffeurs have been
IN poor physical condition, either from over
wcrl; or various bodily infirmites. and even
a case was encountered where an epileptic
was in charge of an automobile. 1t is
now proposed that hereafter physician
shall certify that each candidate for a
chauffeurs license Is sound. both mentally
and physically. With present high-speed
touring cars and the necessity for keeping
thu most careful lookout and controlling
the machine absolutely, the problem be-
comes closely akin to the running of To-
connective. and the move of the French au-
thorities would seem to be move In the
right direction.

LIGHT LONDON MARKET
SCARCITY OF CREDITS AND
HIGHER LOAN RATES.
Special CebIesram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. January 1.-The amount Of
business transacted on the stock exchange
last week was extremely small. both the
monetary and political situations discourag-
ing investment and speculation. The ease
prevailing in the money market a week ago
lasted but few days. so that when the
stock exchange people got back from their
Christmas holidays they found scarcity
of credits and higher loan rates and con-
siderable sums had to be borrowed from
the Bank of England to meetsthe necessi-
ties of settlement.
The bank return last week was considered
very weak, shipments to the provinces and
Withdrawals for export having brought
down the reserve to f17,629,C0O. said to be
the lowest mark the reserve has reached at
this time of the year for over ten years
The percentage OF the reserve to the
liabilities is only 33.S, which is regarded as
a very low figure. Whether there will be
any marked change toward ease with the
turn of the wear ia open to doubt.

Future Market Uncertain.

\ deciding factor may be the situation in
Russia operating on this market through
the continental bourses. The uncertainty as
to the immediate future Of the money
market has made the demand for British
government securities very light. but did
not materially affect the prices.
Consols are just about holding their own,
the continental bourses having taken for
the moment somewhat favorable view of
the course of events in Russia. There was
considerab BILE Improvement In the quotations
OF foreign government securities and only
a few stocks failed to score advances.
The Russians are considerably above last
weeks prices of British sales. Though busi-
ness in them was of trivial volume, they
show Improvement almost all along the
line, though gains, except in three or four
cases are fractional.
American rails, almost without exception,
are quoted well above the previous week s
closing figures but there has been little
buying on this side, the people here gen,
eraly holding aloof Mines were dull and
practically unchanged.
