THE latest figures relating to the
census of 1891. published by the La
Dor Bureau Of the French Govern
ment, sustain the assertion so often
made that the population Of France
is slowly decreasing. In 1881 the
population was 3~7,672,04S, and the
gain from 1881 to 1856 was SAG, $50,
but from 1876 to 1881 the gain was
766. $50. The gain from 1856 to 1891
was only l24,2Se. At this rate Of
decrease the report for the i've years
ending in 1896 will show a stationary
and perhaps a decreasing population.
The most of the increase has been in
Paris and MarSeilleS, thus showing a
drift from the rural districts to those
cities where the death rate is the
highest.

THE unexpected weakness which
the Chinese nation has developed ir
its contests with Japan is very sug.
gestive. For i number OF years it
has been reported that Ii Kung
Chang has been trying TO adopt Euro
pean methods in army drilling, so as
TO place the empire in better posi-.
ton should war occur. But against
Japan II was not supposed that China
would prove so complete a failure in
fighting as it his. The fact is that
the much-v1unt i civil service syS-
tenn OF China is largely responsible
for the degeneracy OF its people. Sue
ceSSive generations have been drilled
not to think hut TO learn just so
much as will entitle them 10 pass the
required examinations. The result
is that the whole nation seems to be
cut on n pattern, and each genera
tion shows a diminishing size. There
is, in addition, a great amount OF
corruption ia Chinese service, "a
there inevitably i, in all despotisms.
This was also protected by the civil
service system, which regards the
offices as belonging OF right to those
who have earned them by passing the
sham examinations which are re.
Quirsd.

THEY say that pleasures treadmill
is a bicycle; that whistling for half
an hour after meals is the best aid to
digestion: that a man Is very stingy
when he will not ENJOY a Joke at his
WI expense: that if tact could be
sold, only such as are already pos
sessed OF it would buy it; that man
always wants somebody to answer his
questions, but nobody to question
his answers; that the number Of
languages and dialects spoken in the
world is 3.064, exclusive Of baby talk
and the language Of our railway
porters; that people think it is tough
when they have to pay thirty-fve or
forty cents a pound for steak, but it
is tougher when they pay only nf-
teen.

THE women do not pay the slight
est attention to what their husbands
think about house cleaning. The
only way to bring about reform ia for
the husbands to induce the young
and unmarried men to suggest that
maybe the system of a hundred years
ago, having been improved in every
thing else, might he improved in
house cleaning.

ANOTHER use for leather has been
discovered: the making Of artificial
whalebone. The leather is soaked
for two or three days in sulphate OF
potassium, and then stretched on q
frame slowly dried, and exposed to a
high temperature. A%fterward, be-
ing subjected to heavy pressure, it
becomes hard and elastic.

THE ability to grow pork properly
does not by any mean depend en-
tirely upon the ability to grow corn.
Corn is certainly the leading food
factor in successful ~pork-growing. but
no kind of meat re uireS a more va
ried diet to grow il in fine form and
to grow it in continuity without en-
dangering the stamia OF the pigs.
The section, therefore, which is best
adapted to the growing Of pork, other
things equal, is that section which
car grow corn readily and also other
food products in conjunction with it..

WANTS a DIVORCE.
Mrs. w. TX. Vanderbilt Pining for

Mrs. w. TX. Vanderbilt Pining for a
Separation.
New YORK, Aug. 2S.--A Paris dis.
pstch says: Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt has
under confederation the sdvisability of
instituting proceedings for divorce.
The difficulties, it is said, nearly
resched climax some months
ago, when the party on the yacht
Valient, in the Mediterranean, separated.
About 10 weeks ago Cornelius Wander
bilt went to London to stop further pro-
ceedings, but WAS unsuccessful. Mrs.
Vanderbilt ia represented by Col. VIM.
Jay of New York, who is now in Ger
many. A proposition is said to have
been made by Mrs. Vanderbilt for q sep
sration on the basis Of an annual allow
ance OF S300,000, the custody of
her children and the possession
of three houses, at Newport, Islip and
New York. 1t is said that Mr.. Wander
bilt offered no objection, but will only
consent to terms less liberal than those
offered by Mrs. Vanderbilt. She has
refused his proposition and further dis
cussion is postponed until the arrival of
Colonel Jay in Paris. Mr. Vanderbilt
yesterday declined to discuss the matter
further than TO say that he had insti-
tuted no proceedings.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-A dispatch to the
Times from Berlin gays: The National
Zeitung publishes advance sheets of an
article to appear in the September
Bundschau, by Herr Brandt, formerly
German minister to Pekin. The writer
accuses Japan of absolutely wsnton ag-
gresson towards Cores. The Japanese
in Corea, he says have consistently
sought to make capital out OF the
political revolutions in Corea so that q
pretext might be found for the interven-
ton of the Japanese government. He
asserts that the Japanese have hun
gered after Corea from time immemorial.
The adoption as their puppet OF the king
OF Corea's father, who is the most
fanaticsl hater of foreigners in the
whole of Corea, is sufficiently character
istic of the Japanese sincerity. Herr
Brandt remarks that neither Russia nor
England is likely to interfere in the
trouble, but it is his opinion they must
do SO eventually.
A diepateh to the Times from Shang-
hal, dated August goth, Gays: 1t is
reported that the Chinese forces, joined
by 5000 Coresns, have beaten back the
Japanese army with heavy loss to
Kaiseng, 40 miles north Of Seoul. The
Chinese are still advancing. They are
helped everywhere by the Coresns.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 29.-It is reported
here that Japanese Transports, escorted
by war vessels, are landing troops to the
northward of Tsku, with the intention
of marching upon Pskin. Another re-
port says the Japanese have succeeded
in landing 10000 men on the banks OF
the Yalu river, separating Corea from
China, and thus cut off the supplies OF
the large army which the Chinese have
sent down the Corean peninsula. A
third report saye the French commits
sioner at Hong Tyong has been MUIR
dered by the soldiers OF General Yeh.
ADEN, Aug. 2S.-The Japanese torpedo
gunboat Tasuta, detained here by order
of the British foreign Office while on its
way to Yokohama, was stopped under
the foreign enlistment act, owing to the
fact that her captain and crew were
