PER CAPITA DEBTS OF EUROPE.
Every Child Born In France Is e2e La
Francs Worse on Than Nothing.

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 80 centinns in
debt. The national debt of France is
greater than that of any other country In
the world, amounting In round numbers
to S5, 425, 600, 900 francs, of which about
1000, 0o0 900 are departmental or COM
munal debts, while the rest, strictly speak
ing, is owed by the state itself, OF which
each of the 3S, ESQ, 900 inhabitants is part.
After France the gay nation Of Portugal
has the largest per capita debt each little
Portuguese being 600 francs worse of than
nothing when IL 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 burden than any other
country IL is nearer the verge of ruin. But
figures, which are said not To lie, are some
times deceiying Italy and Portugal,
though their national debts are much less,
are more nearly insolvent, for they are al-
most entirely indebted to other countries,
while the people Of France are the credit
ors Of the nation.
The German debt is only 2,131, 600, 900
francs, many times less tnan tnab OF
France The French pay ON average of 6S
francs 20 ccntimes 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 it costs the French people
377,000 francs per hour TO be governed,
while tho monarchical machinery of Ger
many IL much less expensive.
Another reason is the constant and rapid
increase Of population in Germany, despite
tho steady and enormous immigration.
Statistics show that the Germans are the
most and the French tho least prolific peo-
pie of Europe. The French arc n nation
of stay at homes, and do not adapt them
selves In foreign lands so easily as the Ger
mans, yet their population instead Of in
crcasing, is slowly diminishing

WOMEN HELP TO CLEAN STREETS.
Armed with Brooms, In Paris They Work
with Men Removing Snow.

Women as we'll as men are employed to
remove the snow from the streets OF Paris.
Groups of both sexes, armed with brooms,
gather mt certain points all over the city,
especially about the Opera and the Place dc
Ia Bastille. Employees OF the prefecture
promptly appear and divide them into
brigades, assigning TO each certain SEQ
tion from which the snow and Ice are TO be
removed or deprived of its dangers to the
pedestrian, for II Is the duty of tho "dircc-
ton of public ways" as tho street clean
ing department Is called, to clean of the
sidewalks as well as the streets, and To
sprinkle cinders in slippery places.
Up TO the unusually severe winter OF
1879 -S0--when the street cleaning depart
ment found itself unable to cope with its
difficulties and called down upon itself the
maledictions of the press and people, just
as Its New York prototype has done-no
mechanical aids were employed In clearing
away the snow. But, as "a result OF the try
Ing experiences of that winter, the depart
ment was thoroughly reorganized and few
complaints have since been heard.
Under the present system the city Is di-
yidcd into sections, each of which Is pre-
sided over by chief having certain num-
Der of men and ca, IS permanently under
his control while others are subsidized so
shat their services may be commanded i'm
mediately at any time without delay. The
streets are classified according TO their i'm
portance. Triangular snowplows are used,
and then sweeping machines with steel
brooms. IL the snow Is packed sondly, fine
salt is employed in large quantities TO dis
solve IL. Salt is taxed in France, but the
state and city waive their fiscal rights,
amounting to 100 francs per ], 200 kilo-
grams, upon that for use in the streets,
and it costs but 81 francs per z, 200 pounds
delivered in Paris from the mines in the
department dc pEst
The coming of the snow means much to
the Partisan poor, and cloudy skies are
anxiously watched and n heavy snowstorm
hailed with delight. Paris is several hun
dred miles further north than New York,
and In winter the daylight Is short, so the
sweeper's work begins and ends in dark
ness. The fixed wage Of ten hours labor
is francs OF about 81 In American money
In Munich, too, the women street sweep
pers are familiar spectacle. They have
not only brooms but shovels, and they
wear mems boots felt hats and wadded
woolen jackets. The stranger at first does
not distinguish them from the men.-New

Minstrelsy is, to my mind, beyond the

It is my belief that before many years the

thing Of the past. In tho days Of Eph

of all of the artists TO closely study the ne

TO reproduce them intact To witness q

negro depleted In his happiest moods, to
sec him a happy, rollicking person, full OF
wit and humor and at oil times ready to

consisted of about 40 mon sitting In ssmi-

only those In search OF minstrel or yaude-
Vile amusement, but even those who are

The old school of minstrelsy has passed
away. The new 'up to date" ideas are
gradually coming more and more Into use.
Scenic embellishments arc an absolute ne
cessity. The public demapds IL, therefore
there is nothing left but 10 submit to the
inevitable and give a massive scenic and
vaudeville entertainment, at the same
time retaining the name Of minstrelsy.

OIL NEWS.

Word has been received in the city
from a reliable source that the South
Penn Oil Co.'S well, located about
mile east Of Metz, in Wetzel county,
was a fine one and when drilled in
about a week ago produced Is barrels
an hour for several days. The well
was drilled to the top of the sand about
two weeks ago, and yesterday the drill
was started again and when a short dis
tance in the Gordon sand the strike
was made. The well has been closed
up and, as is always the case with the
South Penn, the particulars of the
strike have been kept very quiet. At
the present time the well is doing
about 500 barrels a day, which she is
likely to keep up, as the well in that
sand are nearly all good stayers. In
speaking of the we'll yesterday ~ well
known oil man said he thought that the
well would open up an entirely new
pool-one that would be as good q pros
ducer as any that have been discovered
in West Virginia to date. He said
there was a great drawback TO it. how
ever the sand was so deep and the for
pense will be very heavy. And yet
with all that should such wells as this
one be struck it would be worth while
going after.
The Carter Oil Co. s we'll on the Free
land farm, back of Middleboune. is
still holding up her production to 100
barrels a day An oil man of this city
in speaking Of it yesterday said there
was no doubt about this well having
opened up a new pool. He had been
out to look at the we'll and said it was
q good one, that the oil was of
good quality and there was no salt
water to contend with. All the terri
tory in the vicinity of this well for
miles has been leased, the lessons in
some instances paying big bonuses and
rentals. One man is reported to have
received s. an acre bonus and $150 an
acre rental. and others are receiving
equally as large amounts.
The Barnesville, o., field is making
q very good showing recently and the
indications are that it will amount to
something. A well was brought in
there a few days ago which is reported
to be doing about 35 barrels day.
There has been considerable leasing
done in that vicinity and a number Of
locations for wells have been made.
Operations in the Steubenville field
seem to have ceased. There has been
nothing reported from there for some
time.
