THE DEBTS OF EUROPE.
Every Child Born In France Is 922 %
Francs Worse OFF Than NOthing-Othcr

Francs Worse OFF Than Nothing-Othcr
Great Burdens.
From the New York World.
1t will probably be news to most people
that, according to the latest statistics, ev-
cry baby born in France is, from the very
hour of its birth, 922 francs so centimes in
debt The national debt of France Is
greater than that of any other country in
the world. amounting in round numbers
to 35 425, 100000 francs, of which about
1900, 900 900 are departmental or communal
debts, while the rest, strictly speaking, is
owed by the state itself, of which each Of
the 49, 900 inhabitants is a part. After
France the gay nation of Portugal has
the largest per capita debt, each little
Portuguese being 600 francs worse Off
than nothing when II comes into the world
while every subject of King Humbert, of
Italy, is burdened with 405 francs of ma
tional obligations. 1t may be thought that
as France carries heavier financial bur-
den than any other country, 1t is nearer
the verge of ruin. But figures, which are
said not to lie, are sometimes deceiving
Italy and Portugal, though their national
debts are much less, are more nearly in
solvent, for they are almost entirely in
debted to other countries, while the peo-
pie of France are the creditors of the
nation.
The German debt Is only 2l3l 900, 900
francs, many times less than that Of
France. The French pay an average of
SS francs 20 centimes per capita in taxes
for the support of the government, while
the German contribution Is but "A francs
for each individual. This is accounted
for by the fact that 1t costs the French
people $4,000 francs per hour to be gov
erned, while the monarchial machinery of
Germany Is much less expensive. An
other reason is the constant and rapid in
crease Of population in Germany. despite
the steady and enormous emigration.
Statistics show that the Germans are the
most and the French the least prolific peo-
pies of Europe. The French are a nation
of stay-at-homes, and do not adapt them
selves in foreign lands so easily as the
Germans, yet their population, instead of
increasing, is slowly diminishing. When
DIR. Rouxs discovery Of antitoxin as an
antidote for diphtheria was made public
he was hailed as the greatest benefactor
of his age, as 80 per cent. of the popula-
ton of France fall each year victims to
that disease, and the saving Of SO many
lives means that the population will begin
to Increase. or at least hold its own.

Tho Dollsr Would BE Dcbnsed.
But, gentlemen, the free and unlimited
coinage of silver would not secure for the
use of the people at any time any addition
to their stock Of actual money, but would
simply give them less valuable money
than they have now. To call 10-cent
piece a dollar and declare It to be the
standard of value would add nothing
whatever to its purchasing power; It
would still require ten of them to purchase
what real dollar will purchase now, and
prices of commodities expressed In dol
lars would appear to have been increased
ten-fold. when, In fact, nothing would
have happened except the debasement of
the dollar. An actual increase In prices
resulting from an increase In the volume
of sound money In circulation Is quite a
different thing from a nominal increase
Of prices resulting from the use of a de-
preciated currency. and no argument upon
the subject of prices can be found that
does not recognize the distinction between
them. The proposition OF our free-colnage
friends Is to double prices nominally, but
at the same time to have them paid In,
money intrinslcally worth only one-half
as much as 1t was before the prices were
doubled. and l confess my inability to see
how this would help anybody.

But II Is said that although the masses

them are in debt and that the free coinage
Of silver would increase prices and give
them more money, thus enabling them to
discharge their obligations more easily.

by each individual according to the view
which he may take OF the nature Of his

CHINESE LANTERN EFFECTS.
Suggestions for the Adjournment of &
Lawn on Fetc Occasions.

Suggestions for the Adjournment of n
Lawn on Fete Occasions.
From the Boston Transcript.
At every summer resort where the people
are ambitious to be up to date, the enter
tainment committee provides for an event
to be known as a carnival. fete, or illumi-
ration, with the Chinese lantern as a pre-
dominant feature of the celebration. The
Use of this pretty oriental toy has become
very extensive, and it's glow and color are
welcomed en- summer evenings as the most
fitting elemeIt is of all outdoor festivities
because they are brilliant and gay without
being glaring or noisy.
In the arrangements of lantern effects 1t
Is well to avoid straight lines, whether hor-
izontal or perpendicular, and If the best re-
suits are to be obtained, regularity in spac-
ing the lights should also be guarded
against. The attempt to follow the exte-
rior lines of houses, or of verandas and
balconies, is seldom worth while. An occa-
sional imita ton of the form of round
arch is found to be effective. especially
ever gate; but in these cases the lights
should not be too closely crowded together,
and the colors should not be uniform. The
trees and bushes afford the best opportu-
mites for picturesque grouping of lanterns,
and the lines Of the branches should often
be noted as suggesting the most favorable
and picturesque shape for the group of
lamps. Cedars and apple trees are particu-
larly well adapted by their whimsical forms
1t is an error to mass too many lanterns
together, and sometimes a crooked slant
ing line of four lamps on a tree or shrub
will be found much more satisfactory than
twice that number. If an artistic and thor
oughly "Japanesey'' effect is aimed at. let
the disposition of the lanterns have an es-
pect of absolutely extemDoraneous group
ing, devoid of formality. AS an aesthetic
authority has remarked: Things should
not be arranged; they should occur"
1t is sometimes permissible to string rows
of lanterns on fences, hedges, wires. or
ropes, but in most instances where this is
done it will be observed that the very null
tiplicity of the lights detracts from the
picturesaueness OF the effect, and if the
attempt is carried to too great excess, it
becomes tiresome and suggestive of the
beer garden or the cafe chantant. The
repetition of lines is undesirable, are
seometrical patterns of all sorts. The best
line is a broken or irregular curve. which
is susceptible of endless variation. In
ery possible instance the background should
be shrubbery, foliage. vines. water or the
sky. A long list of "don'ts' might be
made For example, don't follow the out
line of a >able, a piazza. or a summer
house; don't make straight rows; don't
crowd the lanterns; don't try to outshne
YOUR neighbor: and don't set your cottage
or your evergreens fire. On the other
hand, the field is wide for the invention of
original and charming effects. which can
be got by little experimenting.
