The Condition of France.

A moderate republic may be decried
by clalnorous anarchists, but neverthe-
less it has brought wonderful prosper
ity to France within the last twenty
years. Wealth has never developed so
rapidly as under the present regime,
while people throughout the whole
country are in easier circumstances and
better able to meet heavy taxes. The
cash reserve in the Bank of France has
doubled, the savings banks funds have
increased fourfold, postal business has
grown 140 per cent, double the number
Of people travel by rail, to say nothing
of the rise in freight traffic, and both
the output and consumption Of coal
show similar proportions. The other
side of the picture is the advance in the
death rate and the decrease Of marriages
and births. The latter have fallen
alarmingly in the last decade, while, to
further diminish the rising generation,
the death rate of infants under one year
of age is excessive.

+. ENNoi ShSASSA' done bQlS WOIk
for the American Bible society for ten
wears, and at the date of the society's
last report had given away few over
1000, 900 Bibles.
This is remarkable work, but much
more surprising is the fact that these
Bibles are we'll printed on good paper,
with large, clear type, and handsomely
bound, that they are in twenty languages
and dialects, and yet the average net
cost of their production is but forty-hve
cents each. Adding all the expenses OF
storage and distribution, and still the
cost is below sixty cents. OF the million
Bibles given away by Mr.. jackson the
society records show the largest number
to have been in German. Within the
year lately closed the record showed 2S,,
239 in that tongue. The Swedish stood
next with 1922, and then came the
Danish with S,s46, English S,212, and SO
on down to 145 in Welsh, 1875 in Dutch,
6 in Polish, 8 in Portuguese and l in
Hungarian.
1t is evident that these numbers do
not correspond with the number OF i'm
migrants from each nation, for the
Dutch, Welsh and most of the Eng
lish had Bibles of their own or de-
clined to receive any as gifts, while
many Italians and east European
folks could not read. OF those able to
read the highest average is among the
Germans and the lowest among the
Italians. Next to the Germans are the
Scandinavians and next to them the
people of Great Britain of all races.
Many of those who received Bibles years
ago have since written to Mr.. Jackson
testifying to personal benefit gained
from reading the book.

fact that man of that age is honored
as one of the city's pioneers is star
ting evidence of Chicago's wonderful
growth.
Mr.. Armstrong was born Nov. 90,
1842, in what was then q north suburb
of Chicago. In boyhood he commenced
planning how to make his fathers real
estate there more valuable, and his first
conclusion was that in his lifetime the
city would grow far beyond that locality
and therefore land should at once be re-
served for park. In the spring of 1868
he was elected member of the city
council as representative from the Thir-
teenth ward, and as no one objected on
account of his age he entered ON his
duties at once and made the park sys-
tenn a speciality. As there was already
a cemetery there to which many re-
mains had been moved from the center
of the city, the papers attacked the prof.
ect with much heat, but the measure
was carried and work was begun the
next year.
Once Lincoln park was fact, and
people found what nice place it was,
South Side and West Side citizens be-
stirred themselves to create parks of
their own, and so Mr.. Armstrong may
be considered tho father of the city park
system. All the aldermen who served
with him in 1868 and are still living
were on the reception committee, and a
fine oil painting of Mr.. Armstrong was
presented to him. He is known to the
present generation as one of the firm of
Armstrong e. Egsn. architects.

Two Greatest of Stamp collectors.

The two greatest stamp collectors in
the world were M. Philippe Ferrari, son
of the late Duchesse de Galliera, and the
czar, whose collection is said by experts
to be worth 5000, 900 francs. He began
to make it when he was czarowitz, and
has been adding to it ever since. NJ
Ferrari, who cast away fortune, or
rather several fortunes which he con-
ceived to be i'll gotten and said he had
no right to inherit, boards stamps as
misers hoard money. He has quantities,
which he says will be valuable to his
heirs should he live to great age

Tho Titles ST Books.

A book title, like woman's face,
ought to be pretty. And if bswitch-
ing, diaphanous veil, in the shape of a
slight curiosity rousing cloudiness Of
meaning can be thrown over it, so much
the better. Readers delight to be half
taken in by books, just as men do by
women, SO long-and this is most i'm
portant proviso-so long as their vanity
is not piqued. The object of title
should be to seem simple, artless, naive
and quite naturally charming, but this
as in the case of SO many of its feminine
analogues--is often to be attained only
by the most consummate art.-Black-

The value of a Russian Beard.

The Russians had an old law by which
any one who drew hair from another's
beard should be fined four times as much
as fur cutting off a finger; and the i'm
portance and value of the appendage is
further illustrated by the fact that,
although the loss of leg was estimated
at 12 shillings, the loss of the beard was
estimated at 20.-English Illustrated

Queen Isanella,s Progress.

Mrs. Martha J. Lamb, in delightful
paper on Columbus and His Times"
read before the graduating class of
Gardner school, expressed some facts
concerning Queen Isabella from which
the women of today may draw lesson
Of modesty. 1t is to be feared the prog
ressive woman of today looks upon her
self as rather the most progressive since
Mother Eve, but Isabella's progress
was phenomenal considering her en-
vironment. ''She had never studied
Latin till after she became a queen"
says Mrs. Lamb, "but seeing its neces-
sity in diplomatic intercourse she APP
piled herself bravely to its acquisition.
Presently it became the fashion to study
the ancient tongues. Italian teachers
were imported into Spain, and there was
great enthusiasm, not few Spanish
women contributing to the brilliancy of
this comparatively unenlightened pc
riod.
sit is interesting to look backward
400 years and find learned women as
well as men attending academic exam
nations, taking part in the public exer-
cises of the gymnasium, and lecturing
from the chairs of universities, but we
shall not be likely to find it in any coun-
try except Spain, and to the influence
and example of Isabella the credit must
be given"

TRES PNos, Cal. July 27.-Some excite
ment attended the opening OF the land
grants today. Settlers in farm wagons
poured through the town continually
during last night and today, some going
to, and others coming from the county
clerks Office at HOLSTER. These were
generally old settlers who have no doubt
been able to prove their residence on the
land and the cultivation of it. The San
Francisco land hunters who have rushed
into the country during the past week,
have gone to San Francisco to make
their entries at the land office.
This town is crowded with land
seekers who have not yet made
selections, but many of whom are wait
ing for the stage to depart in the morn
ing for Panoche and Vallecitos, which
the squatters think are the choicest
places for settlement. Old timers are
affected very little by the opening of the
land, but the newcomers are nervous
and excited. There has been no vio-
lence, however, outside of few fights
where two settlers have located upon
the same quarter section. A few hardy
women are here to take up claims, and
will probably secure lands.

Oaklands went dangerously near the
foul line.

ball.
Strange to relate, the errors made YES.
terday did not prove costly.
Tredway made couple OF splendid
catches yesterday. He pulled down a
foul hit that it seemed almost impossi-
BILE to get.
Hulen did some tall batting yesterday.
He secured four hits, which was half of
those made by Los Angeles.
Rogers made clever catch of an awk-
ward high foul, and did fairly we'll be-
hind the bat. His throwing to bases
was only fair.
Newman may be seen behind the bs t
this afternoon. He Is anxious to get
back to work.

lead. The colonel has already forgotten
the first half and is now talking about

Colonels. Listen to the colonel for
few minutes and you are bound to
catch his enthusiasm. "We can't lose, -
he confidently remarked to HERALD
man. "We'll have tie greatest minor
league team in America. Don't see
how these other clubs will manage to
keep up in the race. May exchange
O'Brien for Denny. The latter wants to
play with the Colonels and Finn wants a
second bsseman. Denny and the new
man O'Brien that have signed for fret
bag, will strengthen the team. Then 1

The colonel was still dilating about
the merits of his team when the HERALD
went to press and the balance of his
sspient remarks are held over until a
future issue.
