Small Families In France.

According to the report of the chief
of the statistical bureau of France,
there were $3.50 births during the
year 1890 and S76, sos deaths. Although
the data of recent years had led stu
dents of statistics to expect that
the annual deaths in France would
soon equal the births, yet such sud-
den and startling revelation was entire
ly unexpected; and the officials are try
ing to discover the causes of this
phenomenon, which stands absolutely
unique on the continent. The main
reason, doubtless, for the present alb
normal condition Is the widespread
aversion to large families. In France,
the one or two system prevails. On the
average, France reports $50 children to
every 100 families. In other countries
the average is more than 800; in Eng
land as great as $50. A singular phe-
nomenon in this connection is the fact
that in 1890 the number of illegitimate
children of French mothers decreased
2,777. Another fact to be taken into
consideration is the physical degenera
cy Of the people: the higher classes by
high living have become cffeminate
the lower classes have become weak
ened and dwarfed by the tasks imposed
upon them. 1t is an undeniable fact
that it has become harder and harder
for the average family to secure the
n0cessaries of life. The cost of living
steadily increases.-N. Y. Ledger.

RULES OF A HEALTHY LIFE.


How the Great Brooklyn Preacher Man
ages to Keep "a Good Appetite.
I finished my education in the city.
My hours of mental work differed I
studied hard and persistently. Some
days l would spend twelve hours over
my books; sometimes ten; and now and
then very few 1 still continued, and
am now, in the enjoyment of a full
grown appetite. There is not an arti-
Gle of food that 1 cannot eat with
great deal of atisfaction-except cod
fish. l like that three blocks off or
more. In all my life, 1 never missed
but one meal, and I would not have
missed that if there had been anything
to eat within ten miles. I was on the
top of one of the Allegheny mountains,
and half days tramp from the nearest
cabin. So it was not my fault that l
missed my meal on that occasion. I
eat at regular hours My breakfast !
always have at seven o'clock; a light
luncheon precisely at noon, and at half
after six o'clock enjoy my heartiest
meal. I never allow anything to inter
fere with the strict observance of this
regularity. l eat what I can relish
best, but never eat so much but that l
could not eat something else; hence l
always arise from the table in COM
Portable state of body and of mind.
After my noontide meal, always take
an hours nap. This calls the blood
away from the brain and enables the
stomach to do, in the best possible man
| ner, its work of digestion. And be-
lieve, too, that one of the chief reasons
of my continued good health is found
in my non-indulgence in tobacco and
liquors. Dewitt Talmage 49,

feel very sorry for Love; don't your
He's In such pitiful plight;
He's deaf as door-post, and speechless, too.
And, then, he has lost his sight;
And So II he sometimes misses the mark,
We need not feel much surprise.
For the poor little god has TO shoot in the dark
With no help from his sightless eyes
am utterly, hopelessly commonplace;
Gray eyes--brown harlan everyday face
HE thinks me pretty, clever and kind,
And that's how I know that Love u blind.
Sometimes we sit in the dusly hall.
BY the bright wood-hre, and the urgent call
or the dinner gong sounds out loud and clear;
But he sits there, musing, and does not hear
Till he sees my petticoats disappearing;
And that's how know Loves hard of hearing
And sometimes when he has been away,
And we meet again-in o rapturous way
He stands for q moment, holding my hand
And can lind no words, but understand
The tender phrases that will not come;
And that's how know that Love is dumb
Poor little godI Cropping so blindlyi
Surely oil men should treat you kindly
And declare that, fer my part
You've home, forever, within my heart;
And think know OF one lover true,
Who viii give you q corner in his heart, too

a TRULY REMARKABLE BRUTE
Latest Illustrations of the Wonderful
Memory of the Elephant.

The sagacity of the elephant is a
"chesnut" in all story books for boys,
but a recent letter from Europe shows
it up in an entirely new light, and Incl
dentally shows that while the sagacity
of the brute is indeed wonderful, that
of his exhibitor is simply marvellous,
besides having the supreme merit of be-
ing pecuniarily fruitful. The account
runs thus:
The proprietor of the circus an
elephant would play the Russian hymn
on a piano with his trunk. Intense in
terest was aroused, and when the even
ing came the expectant public crowded
the circus to the roof. After the usual per-
formances four men carried in a cottage
piano, which they placed in the center
of the arena. Then the intelligent
animal was brought in, paraded with
much dignity three times around the
ring, and then, amid the keenest ex-
element, advanced to the piano. With
a movement of his trunk he touched
the key board, but hardly had he done
so when a surprising change came over
him. He trembled with fear and rage.
whirled his trunk into the air, and
! out of the arena.
There was graat hurrying to and
fro of the employees, and the circus pro-
prietor and the elephant keeper left
the ring for consideration. In a few
minutes the proprietor returned, and
announced with regret that the perform
1 ance could not take place. The fact
was, he said, that the elephant had rec
| ognized in the keyboard of the instru-
ment portion of the tusks of his long
I lost mother, who had fallen a prey to
the ivory hunters of Africa. He had
l suggested to the keeper that another
piano might be procured, but that ex
| pert had informed him that the ANNA
| was SO overcome with emotion that ii
would be impossible for it to perform
that evening. Under these circum
stances he suggested that the Russian
Hymn" followed by the "Marseilleise,'
should be played by the band. The
entertainment was thus brought to 6
close amid the frantic applause of the
\ audience Chicago Dispatch.

TENNYSON IS DEAD.
PASSES AWAY IN FULL POSSES
SION OF MENTAL POWERS

Both Sides of the Atlantic Have
Paid Tribute 10 the Grim Messen-
ger by Loss of Eminent Literary
Men.
Lord Alfred Tennyson, Poet, Laurie
ate OF England, died near London yes
terday morning, at l 80 o'clock, in the
presence of his family, DIR. Dabbs and
Sir Andrew Clarke.
Lord Alfred Tennyson, was born at
Somersby, Lincolnshire, England, in
1909, being the third of seven sons OF
Rev. George Clayton Tennyson, d. d.,
rector of Somersby. He entered
Trinity college. Cambridge, with his
brothers, Frederick and Charles, in
1927, where they were pupils of the
celebrated DIR. William Whewell, one
of the tutors of that college. While
still an undergraduate Alfred pub
lished a small volume of poems,
chiefly lyrical, containing the gallery
of female portraits and the elegiac
verse still reprinted at the head of his
poems.
The author of "Morte d'Arthur,"
Locksley Hall" and "The Two
Voices" had nearly reached the sum.
NIT of his power, and though his fame
steadily widened and broadened, it
may be doubted whether he ever sur
passed the high water mark" of 1912
by any of his later productions. The
Princess, a medley, written in 1S47, his
first long poem, was disappointing to
those critics who insisted upon seek
ing comparisons with the authors
lyrical masterpieces, but was quite sat
isfactory for those who chose to take
it upon its own merits as a brilliant
serio-comic iue d'esprH upon the noise
about woman's rights. In memoriam,
written in 1850, series of marvel
lousy pathetic monodies, written at
intervals through many years, is still
to many minds the poets master
piece.
In 1850 Tennyson succeeded Wads-
worth as poet laureate, in which ca
pacity he produced ON the day of the
funeral OF the duke of Wellington,
which occurred in 1852. his immortal
ode.
After a silence of several years, the
first series of the Idyls of the King,
written in 1859, embracing four stories
in blank verse drawn from the Arthur
rian legends, restored the poets waning
popularity, and was generally accepted
as his greatest poetical effort-a YER
dict confirmed and strengthened 10
years latter when the cycle was COM
pleted by the publication of The Holy
Grail, and other poems. On his SD
birthday Tennyson wrote Crossing the
Bar, which is considered one of the
finest of his poetical productions.
Tennyson resided in London during
the first 20 years of his poetic career.
Late in life he married Miss Emily
Sellwood, lady of Lincolnshire. He
settled at Farringford, Isle of Wright,
in 1851, having also a residence at
Aldworth in Surrey, and in 1869 he
established himself near Petersfield,
Hampshire. His poems have been
issued in many editions and in the
United States by rival publishers.
In 1883 Tennyson was made peer
of the realm, and on May II, 1884, he
took his seat in the house of lords as
Baron d'Enycourt.
