NJ. Charles Rlchet, a writer for French
periodicals, has recently made a study Of
population in France. and printed his con-
illusions, which are at least startling. He
SAYS the number of births since 1926, but
more especially since 1876, has been con-
stantly diminishing all over the country,
though in some provinces more than in
others. The decline has been greatest in the
rural part of France, and nowhere in these
regions so great as where the land is most
subdivlded among peasant proprietors. He
adds that for the last fifty years only three
important towns-Paris, Lyons and Mar
seilles-show an advance In population.
Perhaps a remedy may exist" he says; "ii
not, we may despair OF the future"
The text of the letter which Garibald
wrote from Csprers, in 1877, to DIR. Pran-
is made public in European newspapers
His instructions are explicit and unmis-
taxable. "On the road leading from this
| house nOrthward to the sea Shore" he says
| "there is at distance of 1900 PAGES to the
left, depression in the ground, bounded
by wall. Upon that corner you will erect
pile of timber, two metres high, of acacia
| linden, myrtle and other aromatic woods
| On the pile you will place an iron couch
and upon that the uncovered bier, with my
remains upon 1t, dressed in the red shirt
| A handful of ashes shall be preserved In az
urn of any kind; and this is to be placed in
the little sepulchre which contains the ashes
of my daughters, Rosa and Annita."
nator Plumb, OF Kansas, thinks the
movement to obtain government aid for the
negroes In Kansas will result in disaster to
the State and to the colored people. He
says the exodusters have never suffered tc
the extent the county has been made tC
| believe, and that they can find plenty OF
| work on the railroads and elsewhere. Thai
/ the scene of a number Of well dressed col
ored preachers calling to see the President
as representatives Of a starving and unpro
| tected colony of people was not only Gu
! rious, but really grotesque. He expressed
MS sympathy for the colored men, but
/
| giving them lands and homes by other
means than the same are acquired by the
whites, and he was fearful that the agitation
/ of the question would result In the exodus
of )uthern negroes in droves of two to five
thousand.
One Of the English correspondents has
had an interesting talk with an intelligent
native Egyptian concerning Arab Pasha
"Arabi," said the native, "gets his fl fiuence
not from God, but only because be is
| fellah. The fellaheen like to be governed
| by fellah, who understands their ways anC
| does not stand sloof from them, as the
| Turks and Europeans do. They were proud
of him, but we have a proverb, There is nc
| quarrel like brothers quarrel II TURK
| or q Christian robs US for himself we say
| He is a Turk, he is a Christian; 1t is to be
expected;' but II fellah robs US, we car
| not say that he is a fellah, for that would
disgrace US. We say shame to each other
but we are silent to YOU" To which the
correspondent replied: Eyes, and would
rather have dishonest Arab than an hon
| est Christian" The native answered him
81 do not say so, but We are silent. Only
| this | know. Yesterday Arab was poor
| but his bond was good for money with all
| the fellaheen. To-day ne is rich; to-mor-
row, II he is poor. he would find the differ
ence."
The Cincinnati man who led his wife out
of theatrical matinee by the ear, in order
to break her of the habit of going to thea
tres, has been made very conspicuous by
the publication and discussion of his exploit.
"But don't mind It," he says, "for feel
| that have accomplished much good. My
| wife is not the only woman In Cincinnati
who has neglected her children and heI
| household affairs to visit matinees Cnce Oh
twice every week, but there are hundreds OF
| them, and it is time that husbands and
fathers entered their protest. She knew the
| characters and plot of at least hundred
| plays, and was forever talking about them.
| She gave me no rest, and was worse than q
stage struck youth, who Is eternally quotiOg
from the drama. Nearly every move
made, or opinion | expressed, she likened
| me to some character she had seen at the
theatre. One night l had the toothache
| like thunder, and was walking up and down
| the sitting room floor with my hand I'D 10
my Jaw, when she peeped in at me, and
after looking a moment, said: Hello, Ham
| let, to pull or not to pull" His CHIEF
| grievance, however, was thai she called him
| TOodles, and that seems to have been the
| melting cause for his raid In the theatre.
The power of gusno to involve not only
nations in endless trouble, but corporations
in litigation, is again shown by a suit pend
ing in London between the Compagnie Fl
| nanciere ct Commercials du Pacif0ue and
