One hundred years g the nego-
tiations for the definite treaty of peace
between France and the allies were
practically concluded. Two days later
the treaty. which Is known In history
as the Peace OF Paris. was ratified by
the powers. The king Of Prussia and
the emperors OF Russia and Austria
took part personally In the negotia-
tons, while Lord Castlereagh was pres.
ent as the representative OF the Eng
lish sovereign. The treaty OF Paris
did little more than ratify the peace
following the abdication OF Napoleon
and provide for the restoration Of the
French frontiers TO the limits Of 1872
The great European questions as to
the new formation of states lately con
quered or dismembered by Napoleon
were mostly referred to the congress
which was soon to meet in Vienna.

No TANGO or Motors.

There is n place where the tango
IS as yet unknown. Inc hat is Mon
rovia. the capital OF Liberia, accord
ing to Reed Paige Clark. the receiver
OF the general customs there, who
Is now on six months leave Of alb
sence.
Ragtime and the movies, however,
flourish there, Mr.. Clark says. but
there is not an automobile in the
whole OF Liberia; in fact. there are no
wheeled vehicles at all. as there are
no roads and no railroads.
Life at the capital is yillage-like in
its simplicity. The people are kindly
and courteous. and Mr.. Clark is de,
lighted with the treatment he received
during his WI years residence there
Mr.. Clark says his British. French
and German colleagues work harmo-
niously. although there is some fric
ton on political questions. but this Is
OF no great importance.
The port OF Monrovia is showing a
wonderful increase in shipping. Mors
than 400 steamers called there durins

Responsibility for Fires.

Philadelphia's fire marshal pub
fishes an interesting summarized an
alysis OF that city's fire losses for
the past year. which amounted to
about s.. 200. 900. and he makes what
is probably a correct statement when
he says fully one-half OF the number
vas due to -thoushtiessness. careless
nest and ~uncleanly housekeeping His
explanation of the origin Of such g
large percentage OF Philadelphia's fires
would doubtless fit every large Amerf-
can municipality.
For some reason. perhaps II Is our
custom OF haste. we are responsible
for a much larger number OF fires
proportionately than any European
nation. We hurry along through life
without giving consideration to the
ordinary rules in guarding agains,
fires. and as a consequence pay q tire
mendous bill yearly.
Fire regulations and building regu
lations will help to diminish the an
nual loss. but first the public ought Il
be taught to appreciate no perma
nent relief can come until each citizeI
realizes the responsibility he owes 4
himself and to the community In thi
matter.-Brooklyn Standard-Unio
