the man reached the middle of the

she gave another roguisll glance and q

tracted to the girl and he did
not notice a swiftly approaching
trolley car until it nearly ran MIN
down: then he made wild leap that

behind the team was trolley road

allowed a car that should have turned

The decrease in the population Of
France was the subject of special dis.
cussion before a scientific congress in
Paris few, days ago. Numerous recon.
mendations were made by the savants
to correct the evil, but the wisdom of
many OF them may be doubted. The
doctors recommended, among other
things, the strict execution of the law
regarding vaccination, military service
for two years, freedom from taxation
for large families, arc. the heavy taxa
ton of all bachelors over forty Years

The congress also proposed u VIZ, ..

tunately will be frowned upon by the

How English A'rI :'nres Are Entertained
by ..5rn IF SCIENCE.
Nothing can surpaSs the patience of
the British audience at certa in of these
lectures. We have been present. says
a writer in the London Globe, on one
such occasion when distinguished,
but perfectly unintelligible, member
Of the Royal society engrossed the at
tention of about nine hundred ladies'
and gentlemen from eight o'clock until
ten. What he was saying no one
knew. He mumbled on unremittinglv
and the company loudly applaudcd
him in the intervals, when he drew
breath for fresh lease of incoherencc.
But he held a long rod in his hand and
periodically he raised it and pointed at
an enigmatic agglomeration of lines,
which were believed to be an illustra-
ton. This of itself alone would have
satisfied his audience, coupled, of
course, with the spectacle of his own
respectable person. And when the
lecture was over the secretary compli-
mented the old gentleman on his most
instructive discourse, there was a rush
OF eager secOnders of tie resolution,
and the general public streamed out,
yawning and happy. This gentleman
received twenty-five guineas for his
effort, and it is not known to this day
what he was talking about. There is
no civilization in the world to equal
that of the average provincial audience
at lecture. It tolerates all things
uncomplainingly. We have known
these kindly people endure long Sc
riesof lantern slides upside down with
out a murmur, though their pictorial
matter was believed to be of very ex-
citing nature.

Japanese Emigration.

The Japanese, who SO long remained
true to their beautiful islands, have
now begun to follow the example of
the Chinese and emigrate in com
paratively large numbers. The gov
eminent, according to Globus, looks
with favor on this change in the
customs of the people and encourages
it as much as possible. Last year, ac-
cording to the statistics recently COM
piled, twenty-four thousand men and
eighteen thousand women left japan
to find homes for themselves abroad.
Most of them went to Hawaii and
Australia and few to Canada and to
this country. In Australia the Japa-
nese, the journal says, easily find en-
ployment, and are fast superseding
the natives in the plantations about
Cairns, Dungeness and Mackay. They
accustom themselves quickly to the
new manners OF life, learn the
language readily, and work diligently.
Many Australians already prefer them
to the Chinese as house servants, gar.
deners, and coachmen.

A popularity con- ION to rain in the
Bermudas, the y.in..ward i:lands, the
Hawaiian group, and the iias.lan wa
tiers is that it isn't Try wet. In none
