Paris Nav Tax Visitors.

The Paris municipal council, at Its
closing meeting of the old year, voted
a resolution in favor of the capital
being officially "classed" as a watering
place. The object of the motion Is
TO enable the city TO collect a small
poll tax on visitors in order to swell
the municipal revenues, as is already
done in other watering places. While
agreeing that such tax probably
would bring in good round sum, the
Figaro crlticizes the proposal as hard.

tions

PATIENCE.

The quaint old fashioned name Of
Patience has a doubly worthy signi-
ficance. Not only does it represent
an abstract virtue which religion
deems undesirable, but it is also
one of the names of holiness. 1t
means bearing up" and is regarded
entirely as an English name though
its origin is with the Latin.
The title Plus, applied first to
faithful filial love as in the "Aeneid"
came to have a higher significance
with the advent of Christianity.
Under Antonius Plus II became the
name of a martyr Pope and later
was used most frequently as one Of
the papal appellativeS. PA, the
feminine. is still in use in Italy.
The English translated the virtue
expressed in the title of Plus into
their Patience, occasionally carrying
it with Piety and Prudence. which
they seem to consider identical. The
Puritans are responsible for the
vogue of Patience both in England
and in this country. chronological
history reveals the fact that there
was a St Patiens, of Lyons, in
early times and St. Prudentius was
the great Christian poet
