The Decay Of France.

The average birth-rate per annum in
France for the period between 1872 and
1880 has been calculated to be one birth
for 81 inhabitants, which is by far the
lowest birth-rate in Europe For the
different countries the birth-rate is as
| follows: Russia, one birth for 20 in
habitants; Germany, one birth for %;
Austria-Hungary, one birth for %; En-
gland, one birth for 27; Italy, one birth
for y; Spain, one birth for %: France,
one birth for 81. If the yearly number
OF births for any thousand inhabitants be
calculated we have precisely the same
result. We have, in France. 26 births
per 1000; Belgium, 30; England, 50;
Austria, 38; Prussia, 39; and Russia, SO.
Naturally it follows from this that the
average number of children to each mar
riage is inferior to what it is in other
countries, surprising all the children
born in each year to be legitimate.
There are five births for every marriage
IN England and Germany, and only three
for France. Ordinary observation, with
out the aid of statistics, would have led
us TO expect such result. We all know
that French people are in the habit of
speaking of a family of five children
the average number in England and
Gelmany-as large family, while fam
lilies of from eight to ten children, CON-
mon enough in former times, are now
almost unheard of except among the
poorer classes in the poor departments
of France.
Before fifty years are over, France
of hav. t-l
of population, have sunk, if not to the
level of a second rate, at least to the
bottom of the list Of the great Powers.
II we suppose that the population of the
United States and the various countries
of Europe are deeimated by no wars or
exceptional maladies and still preserve
their present frontiers and go on increas-
ing at the present rate of increase, their
population viii by the year 1924 time
which our children will see-be as fol-
lows: United States, 10000, 900: Rus
STA, 1913, 100000; Germany, SO, DOC, 600:
Great Britain. $4,000, 900; Austria-Hun-
gary, A, 900, 900; and Italy, $4,000, 900.
SO that France, which century ago
was really la grGlsde nation, having
still the largest population in Europe,
will be but the sixth in rank in point of
numbers.
win France, with her diminished
numerical Importance as great Power,
make up for her deficient numbers by
that public spirit and genius for enter
prise which has raised so many small
Powers to level in point of influence
with the greatestP This, also, if we
consider the causes which led to the in
creasing sterility of the country, may
also be doubted In fact, there are not
wanting now Frenchmen who look on
this decreasing population as but one
among many signs of national degener-
acy, and are ready to exclaim hope.

Some Curious Things.


In Boston there is a curious little mn

like small music box, is of gold, cram

porcelain; having wound the works and
pressed a spring. this oval flies ND. a tiny
nest is disclosed, and from it leaps a
beautiful bird. which, perchinc upon a
rest, begins to sing like canary, OPEN
ing its bill and fluttering its wings and
body in the most hfe-like manner: when
ITS song is done it hops back to its nest
aud the oval closes. This beautiful TOW
costs twelve dollars.

The Use OF Medals and Decorations in
England.

Considerable discussion has recently
taken place as to the propriety of war
medals and decorations being worn with
evening dress. The calculation of the
subject may, think. be somewhat SIM
ptified by a knowledge of the fact that
all members of her Majesty's household.
when wearing the household evening
dress-which all the world knows con-
sists simply of dark-blue dress coat
and brass buttons, with the usual ex-
tremities, and white waistcoat-are
enjoined to wear miniature medals, and
decorations on the left lapel of their
coat; this, in fact, is de riqueur. The
Prince of Wales is most particular as to
this, and should any one whom he
knows happen to forget his medals. he
seldom or never fails to give him a
good ,natured reprimand. Yet so sensi-
tive are Englishmen of being thonobf
"swaggerers' that if any Of the said
members of the household are going
from the royal presence to another frtnc.
ton they always take off their decora-
tons; but, of course, if the wearing of
such medals in the evening was gener.
ally recognized, there would be nc
necessity for this act of self-abnegation

MY SWEET VALENTINE.

Pll tell you of little mad
I've chosen for my Valentine: ufs
She is not very wise or staid,
And numbers years from seven to nine
Buttruth looks from her eyes of blue,
And oh, hervoice has music iii it. Il Z
I'm speaking only strictly true;
You'd surely think twas lark or linnet
She always does just what she should,
Without fuss or bother;
So nice, so loving and so good,
You scarce could find another.
And SO for my sweet Valentine
/ choose this little darling maid
MY dearest daughter, seven to nine,
Who is not very wise or staid.

Fever Caused by Lemonade.

A remarkable outbreak of enteric fever
occurred in Evesham, England, last
summer. Fifty-one households were
invaded with sixty-eight cases, forty-six
of the patients falling i'll during the fort
night ending August 8. The houses in
which the patients lived were in many
instances several miles apart, their sani-
tary circumstances varied widely, sew
ers and water supply were entirely iif-
ferent, and the milk supply was derived
from several independent sources.
Under these conditions it was no easy
matter for the health officer to discover
the source of the epidemic, 1t was
elected however, that all the patients
attacked before August s, had attended
Evesham regatta, and that they had all
been present in one particular meadow.
Further investigation developed the fact
that thirty-two of the forty-six had GER
tainly, and eleven had probably, par
taken of refreshments at certain stall.
The other three were in doubt. In one
instance two of a party of three drank
lemonade, while the third took nothing;
the two had the fever, the other escaped.
The water used in the refreshment stalls
had been drawn from a we'll near the
meadow, the water of which was found
to be so contaminated that it was at once
closed; the belief of the health officer be-
ing that this polluted we'll had been the
immediate source of the epidemic.
Two very obvious differences may be
drawn from this occurrence. One is the
propriety of carrying refreshments from
home when going on a days pleasure
see king; the other, the necessity of more
critic al supervision of the water supplies
of pleasure resorts. This should cover
not only the water used for drinking or
in the preparation of beverages, but also
that used in making ice cream and
water ices, and in washing drinking
vessels and the like. The ice used for
beverages is a further source of peril,
since the ponds from which it is cut are
las the Newport inquiry demonstrated
too frequently foul, if not infected.
The theory that water in freezing clears
itself of noxious germs has been shown
by careful trial to be untrue. Contain
mated water yields impure ice, no mat
ter how slowly the freezing is accom-
piished. Scientific american.
