STATISTICAL FACTS.
Proportion of Children and Adults In the
Various Civilized Countries.

According to DR.. Alice Nickery, the
happiest place on earth is France,
chiefly because French families do not
exceed manageable dimensions. She
says: In the first place, while the sur
plus of women in the United Kingdom
and in Germany amounts to nearly
three-uuarterS of million and one
million respectively, France 1881 had
a surplus of only $4,000 women, and as
a consequence marriages are more
prevalent in proportion to population
in France than elsewhere; and, curl
ously enough-cOntrary to the general
opinion in this country-France has
the smallest proportion of illegitimate
births. Thus from 1925 to 1867 the
percentage of all illegitimate births
was 10 in France. 50 in Prussia, 10
in Sweden, II in Austria and y in
Bavaria. France has the lowest
birth-rate of all European countries,
viz, 23.S per 1000 against 81 for the
United Kingdom and SO for Germany.
The average number of children to a
family is now 80, against 4.6 in En-
gland and Wales, 5.2j in Scotland and
5. in Ireland. Germany has an aver
age OF nearly five to family. France
contains a far better proportion OF
grown-up persons than any other ma
tion in Europe.
There are in each 10000 persons in
the several states of Europe the fol-
lowing numbers in the most produc-
tive age between ID and 60: In France,
1913: in Holland, 1864; in Sweden,
4.954;; in Great Britain, 4,732; in the
United States, 1900. France, of all ma
tions in Europe, has the highest aver
age of ages of the living namely,
S1.O6 years; against Holland, 2I66;
Sweden. p. sc; Great Britain, 26.5; the
United States, 23.1. France, too, has
a greater number of persons attaining
old age than any other country; for out
of every 100 deaths those over the age
of 60 are-in France, SO; Switzerland,

IFl IF |

II every boy and every girl,
Arising with the sun,
Should plan this day TO do alone
The good deeds TO be done
Should scatter smiles and kindly words,
Strong, helpful hands should tend,
And to each others wants and cries
Attentive ears should lend.
If every man and woman, too,
Should Join these workers small
Oh, what a flood OF happiness
Upon our earth would fall
How many homes would sunny be,
Which now are filled with carei
And Joyous, smiling faces, too,
Would greet us everywhere
I do believe the very sun
Would shine more clear and bright
And every little twinkling star
Would shed a softer light
But we. instead, oft watch to see
If Othfr folks are true,
And thus neglect so much that God
Intends for us to do.

but the BibbS' hain't never cum 10 talk
it over
After a little more talk it was agreed
that | should 90 on to Bibbs' and tell
them what was up and ask the two
men to come down to a little branch
which crossed the road ahead OF us.
They were guaranteed protection, and
the whole matter should be talked
over with a view to permanent peace.
| found the men-father and sOn-sit-
ting in front of the cabin. Before |
had said twenty words both rushed for
their guns, and it was half an hour
before they could reason.
Didn't they'uns begin to shoot
we'uns fust" the old man kept repeat
ing, but after awhile he calmed down,
and it was finally agreed to go down
and have a talk. There was no thought
of ambush or trickery. The Carriers had
passed their word, and that word was
sacred. 1t was a curious scene when
all came together. There were the
two old patriarchs-white-haired,
wrinkled and getting ready for the
grave, and each had hated for thirty
years. There were the two sons
strong, agile, fearless, who had the
memory of seven killings on their
minds as they looked into each others
eyes. The men with the Carriers cast
down their eyes as if ashamed.
"Mr. Bibbs," | said as we sat down,
"do you remember how this all
started?"
Lets see? 1t was way back. My
Bill was out hunting and Pap Carter
peppered him. Bill said so afore he
died.
"And then?"
"Aud then I peppered Buck Carter
to git even"
Did you know that Mr., Carter had
a mule poisOned?"
"Never did,
Didn't you hear of his mule dying?"
Cant say | did. If I'd heard of it
I'd hev been sorry, fur Pap Carter an
me was boys together, and we used to
set store by each other"
Pap Bibbs," began the old man
Carter, as he rose up, "ar ye sayin' as
We never heard | lost a mewl-a yal'
lerish mewl with blaclish ears and
tail?"
I'm a sayin' it, Reuben, and it's
Gods TRUTH
And your son Bill didn't pizen him
cause l beat him chopin wood!'
He never did! Bill wasn't like it.
Bill would hev cut his hand off fust. "
And he wasn't mad cause | beat
him?n
"Hoosan! Why, Bill cum home to
say We was the best man with the axe
on Bald mountain!'
"And seven murders have been done
through this" | said, as looked at
dp NdLICl'
"God forgive mel" he exclaimed, as
he knelt down and flung up his hands.
"Why didn't ye cum over to me,
Abra'n, and dun tell me how it all
was!" i,
How could |, Reuben, when yOu'uns
was pepperin' we'uns with buckshot!
Fo' the Lord, but what wicked critters
we hev bin"
"Abra'm!"
"Reubenm
And then the young men also reached
out for each others hands, and I'm not
going to deny it was a womanish time
all around for the next ten minutes.
When we went up to Bibbs' cabin there
was more of it, and the two old men
knelt right down side by side, arms
around each other and their white
heads close together and they wept
and prayed like children lost in the
| darkness and storm. Thirty years OF
hate and blood were wiped away in an
