French Marriages.

"FIGUREs,' said the late Sir Robert
Peel; "you can prove any thing by fig
ures." NJ. Legrand, accordingly, has
no difficulty in proving that marriage in
France is not altogether as it should be;
had it been SO his work, lie Marriage ct
les KeurS en- France, would never have
been written. Things can not be quite
right when the g Academy of Moral and
Political Sciences - offers prize for
the best essay on Matrimony, and how
to improve the conditions, moral, social
and legal, under which it is entered on"
Ten years ago NJ. Legrand got this
prize, and he kept his essay until now,
publishing it in a much enlarged form,
and bringing his statistics, ETC., up to
the present date. 1t is, therefore, quasi
official; for the Academy of Moral and
Political Sciences stands on different
footing from our Social Science Con-
gress. Some of his figures are startling,
and we have not our own Registrar
Generals tables at hand whereby to
check them; but of course they have
been checked by those who " crowned"
his essay.
The fact which makes thoughtful
Frenchmen anxious is that, while the
marriage rate is not lower, nay, is even
slightly higher than it was, the birth
rate is alarmingly low, and gets lower,
instead of rising. There were actually
more births at the beginning of the
century, with population OF only ~
600, 200, than there were in 1860. Be-
tween 1900 and 1915 the number of chill
dren per marriage averaged 4 "a. Il
sank gradually till 1860, averaging only
3.03 for the years between 1855 and
1860; between 1860 and 1865 it rose to
sos. Tantalizing, as, indeed, such Ia
bles generally are, this particular table
ends with 1865, and we are left to NJ.
Leyrand's assertion that the decrease is
still a sad fact, and to another table
which shows that the birth for every
hundred inhabitants have averaged dur
ing the last forty years 2.62. The worst
year was 1871, when, owing to the war,
the average sank to 2.26. In 1872 it
rose to its highest, 2.67. In 1877 it was
2 .55, the same As in 1880.
Of marriages the French average for
the last ten years is So for every hum
dred inhabitants. 1t was 60 in 1870, y !
in 1871, SO Gts highest in 1872, when |
the war and its results were well-nigh |
over. As with us, the matrimonial |
barometer is, from year to year, a deli
cate test of the national prosperity or
There is no complaint,
however, of the small number of mar
riages; it has risen since 1900, between
which year and 1880 the average was
not quite ~. Nor does France in this |
respect stand badly as compared with
other countries. There are actually |
more marriages per cent. in France |
than in England. NJ. Legrand's table |
(undated) gives as follows: In Hun
gary, Los marriages for every 100 in
habitants; in Russia, 100; Germany,
81: Austria, 80: France, IS; England,
SO; Holland, IS; Italy, 70; Scotland,
IS; Greece, IS; Roumania, Sc; Ireland,
f.. So that there are twice as many
in France, for the population,
as in Ireland, which we used to look on /
as the most marrying country in Eu-
Echo.

Stories About Eminent Parrots.

corning the sagacitv of some of the
lower animals, one is hardly prepared
for the tale that comes from the Stock
holm DdgJiGdt Of a trial in the court OF
the town of Malmo, Sweden, where 8
large gray parrot was the leading wit
ness for the plaintiff, and carried the
Judge, jury and listeners by its volu-
bility. This bird was brought 10 Nor
way by whaler, and finally fell into
the hands of lady of Malmo, who
happened TO be indiscreet in her meth
DDS Of education. Not contented with
instilling 90 Polly wants a cracker y and
such legitimate parrot lore into the
birds head, she used il as an object at
which TO vent her feelings; and so the
bird became possessed of information
that told plainly that her mistress was
very much of gossip. The trouble
began one day as lady came to call
upon the owner of the bird The lady
was announced, and the parrot, catch
ing the name, yelled out, :" Fru Mrs |
w! the old fool; she wears wig'"
and repeated il several times. Fru w.
became indignant and accused her host
ess of teaching the bird the insulting
words, and finally left the house in
great rage. 1t soon became noised
about, and the poor woman finally took
refuge in the courts, and sued the owner
of the bird for libel. A writ was served
upon the bird and its owner, and no
sooner did it hear the name of Fru w.
in court than it screamed out the tell
tale sentence repeating it over and over
again. The Judge, jury and spectators
were so impressed by the strange wit
ness that its owner was found guilty and
obliged to pay heavy damages.
Mr.. Selby tells of a parrot that was
kept near quay in seaport town, and
had learned many words and ejacula-
tory terms that are used by sailors and
carriers. The word shack" used by the
carriers was great favorite with her.
One day observing a horse and cart on the
quay, she yelled out "Back, back up"
with SO much vigor that the poor horse
backed off the quay and was drowned.
La Faillant tells of one that lived to the
patriarchial age of ninety-three years:
% In his best days this parrot had been
distinguished for his conversational
powers, and he was so remarkably
clever that he would perform many lit
tie acts when ordered to do so, such as
fetching his masters slippers, calling
servants, and the like. When he reached
the age Of sixty his memory began to
fail, and he confused and jumbled to-
gether fragments of former learning.
From this time his iniirmities went on in
creasing, until in his last days he be-
came perfectly decrepid, and was only
kept alive by being fed at intervals with
biscuit soaked in Madeira" Figuler
mentions gray parrot that was pur-
chased IN Bristol, and its intelligence
was certainly wonderful. 1t asked for
things and gave orders, sang several
songs, and whistled some airs very well,
