small TamIlle. 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 SO. 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 a sud-
den and startling revelation was entire
" 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-
rloruenon in this connection is the fact
that in 1890 the number Of illegitimate
children of French mothers decreased

National Prison Association.

On Tuesday the 18th inst, the Executive Com
mlttee OF the National Prison Association held
business meeting at the rooms of the Prison AS
ISOLATION, New York city. There were present
Messrs. Wayland, BrOckway, Milligan, Round
Smith and Scott. Supt. BrOckway of the Eimira
RefOrmatOry was reelected Chairman, and Mr.
Milligan acted as Secretary. Many questions
pertaining to the next meeting of the assoca-
ton at Chicago, in June, and at the meeting at
st. Paul. in the following year, were discussed
1t was thought ineXpedient. so shortly after the
Congress at Baltimore, and in view of the fact
that the Congress had voted to participate as a
section in the International Congress of Char
titles. Correction and Philanthropy, to attempt
more than an informal Congress in addition to
the annual business of the Association. 1t was
also thought inadviSable to attempt the holding
of an international Prison Congress at Chicago
during the present year. Discussion followed
upon the election of President to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Gen. Hayes, and
the matter is still under advisement. 1t was
suggested by one of the committee that the
programme of future meetings should center
around some particular subject, with the object
of calling attention to some specially needed re-
form: and the programme for the meeting at ST.
Paul may he made with this suggestion in view
The congress in the past has discussed variety
of subjects. and much good has been accom-
plished and many needed reforms brought about
but while it would seem inadvisable to devote
the whole time of the congress to any one sub

some special subject eXhaustively. The follow

result is a scandal, followed by shameful di-
vorce suit. Once free they each follow their
separate inclinatiOns, until one finally lands in
prison, or drifts through life without a compass
to steer by, and is at last wrecked on the shoals
of vice.
The lOOseness of the divorce laws, in some of
the neighbOring states, are due to great extent,
to the influence of immoral literature Flimsy
laws that make the sacred bond of matrimOny
commodity to be exchanged at the will of the
holder, are disgrace to our nation. The popu-
larity of these immoral lOve-tales are great and
the cause of the large sale of some of these de-
generating books is due to buster of the cities
who seldom let these tales pass without attract
ing the attention of the people by their pointed
criticisms. Curiosity is aroused and to satisfy
it the copies are bought fast as the publishers
can turn them out. The immoral seeds are thus
sOwn broadcast; and some fall in soil that will
not foster germs of vice. Others are nOurished
until the poisonous growth destroys the morals
and ruins the life of the devOtee &C.

Concerning Brains.

General Buffers brain weighed sixty
two ounces, four more ounces than
Daniel Webster's. What of it? Gui-
teaus brain weighed four more ounces
than Lord Byron's 1t has been decided,
1 believe, that quality, not quantity, de-
reason why the heaviest brain should be
mentally the greatest than that the fat
test man should be the most eminent.
In fact, to call man "heavy" is to
brand him with dizziness. which is the un-
pardonable crime, according to Society.
Neither Emerson nor Byron had the
weighty brains of Webster, yet note the
difference in the influence OF these men.
Webster is but name. Ambition killed
his conscience, and finally killed his
fame In the hope of being President,
he knelt before slavery Grown away
from Webster, the Republic has never
believed in Butler. The lightweight
brain of Emerson, clearsighted and lu-
minOus. gains constantly in grace and
shows the absurdity of Old-fashiOned
theories concerning the necessary make
up of intellect. When women come into
the kingdom long waiting for them, the
prejudiceS of centuries will receive their
death-blow. Should it be finally decided
that mind depends upon convOlution of
brain and tineness of gray matter, what
will become of Websters and Buffers in
the presence of daily feminine headsI

Serves The One-Hundredth Term.

Della Miller. an habitual drunkard.
is now serving out her hundredth SEN
tence at the house of correction on the
charge of drunkenness. She is quiet,
submissive and kindly woman of fifty
or more years of age, SeamStreSS by
trade. thoroughly reliable, honest and
industrious-when she is not in drink
She is the daughter of an old French
family in the city, thoroughly respect
able and respected. Several of her
brothers, half brothers and sisters in the
city hold responsible positions in the
community. She has never been ac-
cused of anything worse than drunken
ness. And yet during the past thirty
years this woman, as the records and
her own story show, has lived three
fourths of her life in prisons. She be-
gan drinking whisky when she was a
little girl. She used to steal it from her
fathers jug when she was not more
than seven years old. She says she did
not like the taste of the liquor and used
to steal it first just for fun. but after
wards she got to like the warming effect.
She is neat and tidy old lady, tritle
gray, with a gentle and kindly face,
slender, withered little body. very small
hands, pink finger nails, delicate and
slender wrists. very much wasted, gray
eyes, a cheerful smile, not without
sense of humOr of her situation, and
old fashioned spectacles, which she
pushes back on her forehead when she
talks. The records show a most re-
markable lack of ability to keep out of

the clutches of the law. During the
twenty years she has spent fifteen years
and 119 days in the Detroit house of
correction, and has been imprisoned ten
times in the Jail at Sandwich serving
1873 days. Her longest sentence in this
city was for 155 days. and the shortest
one day. This allowed her period Of
but three years and 100 days of freedom
during a score of years. The average
period between each sentence was but
sixteen days. The above record does
but half-tell the story. however, as she
has been arrested twice perhaps where
she has been sent to prison once. Ac-
cOrding to her own story, Justice Min
er once released her five times in one
week upon suspended sentence. She
has no complaint to make against the
police or the court or the law that has
kept her SO many years in prison. The
police were her friends. There is peri
cd of one year and ten months when
she was out of the city. During that
time she served two terms, one year
and the other six months, in the prison
at Toronto. That was in 1881 and 1882.
There is another period of two months,
in the spring of 1890, when she was in
Tawas. During that time she served
thirty days in jail for drunkenness. She
is most skilled needlewoman, and dur
ing times of sObriety has been employed
in many prominent families by charita-
bic ladies, who were convinced she
could be reclaimed. TO see her after
confinement has removed all traces Of
dissipation is but to be sure that that
delicate and refined-loOking old lady
could not be the confirmed drunkard
and bestial person the prison officials
paint her. In March her sentence ex-
pires, and as soon as the sun shines she
will return to the house of correction
in few days, as the periods of absence
are yearly growing shOrter-St. Paul

The Lesser Evil.

In the article that appeared in the last issue of
THE MIRROR, l dealt with the dime novel,
placing this class of immoral literature as the
greater withholding it to be the greater evil be-
cause it is within the scope of the untutOred
mind of the schOOl-bOy. poisoning the young
mind before the will is matured sufficiently to
govern the developing intellect.
The other class of immoral literature thrashy
lOve-tales, exercise but little influence over the
minds of the real young, these tales are gener-
ally written in style more adapted to interest
those just issuing from their teens. 1t is the
feminine, rather than the masculine reader.
these love tales influence most for women are
more interested in that one great event of their
lives, marriage-and consequently more inclined
to be sentimentally governed by the passion
these tales are ever prasing. Love is the theme
of these eXhausting praises; love is the creed in
culcated in the minds of the devOtees of this class
of literature: love is the all absorbing subject of
alteration; and thus the passion is catered to,
until sentiment rules the mind and common
sense is forgotten. The constant application of
these demOralizng degeneratOrs. roots ont the
good precepts that developing maturity is be-
ginning to FORM and the result is elOpmentS,
early marriages, and divorce suits.
Early and improvident marriages, are the re-
sun Oh MUCH misery. ana the cause OF great
deal of crime. Young people, sentimentally
swayed, form alliances without any regard as to
the means that are to provide sustenance for the
future. The little money they have is soon eaten
up by the expense of the honeymoon: and when
they settle down to marriagelife in reality, they
are awakened by the fact that love is not the
currency of the world nor prOvider of food
Many times through mere strength of character
and moral courage. young people married in this
manner, have struggled through adverse circum-
stances and obtained an easy position in life but
often just the opposite happens. When "lOve
flies out at the window" and want knocks at the
door. the Minated pair regard each other as the
prime cause of the misery their thOughtless-
ness has brought upon them. BY constantly
brOOding over their distressed condition, NUT
ual hatred springs up between them. The hus-
band no longer finds the fireside attractive, and
spends his evenings in loose company. The wife
regards the bond that binds them tOgether'a as
calling fetter that makes the body a prisoner
when the mind is elsewhere. Frequent quarrels
arise in the disordered household; the situation
