Irrerressibie statistioians.

France still remains the country most
prolific in energetic and irrepressible
statisticians One of the tribe has lately
been busily engaged in getting up facts
and figures about persons smitten with
the mania for collecting all sorts of OBJ
jects. There are, he informs us, 1900 col
lectors of botanical specimens and 90, 900
antiquaries. The labors of these people,
however, are he thinks lofty and noble
compared to those of the beings who
stick pins in beetles and love to exhibit
the impaled insects in glass cases, or of
the silly collectors of bus and train
tickets.
The statistician has also much to say
about the scrap book people and the
hunters after historical buttons. One of
these has wonderful collection of civil
and military specimens, ranging from the
time of Louis XIV to our own days, and
he spent large sums of money in looking
for articles of the kind on the battle
fields where soldiers of the first republic
and the first empire had fought.
Another Partisan brought together
10000 different portraits Of the great
Napoleon, while dealer in curiosities
has ON hand the palettes of all the prin-
cipal French painters who have -four
iShed in the second half of the present
century. The careful statistician has
omitted to add to his list the collectors
of such triAes as the slippers of "stars'
of the ballet, there having been once an
old Partisan who had an assortment Of
these things in his museum. London
