Few Children In France.

Of all the peoples of Europe tue French have the lowest children an l the Irish the most. The average French family numbers 3.03 persons and the average Irish family 5.2. In England the average is AS and in Germany it is 4.1. The Spanish and Russians closely approach the Irish in prolifcneas. Con trasted with the French in Europe, the French in Canada are the most prolific race in Christendom.
 Nature Paints of Negroes.
 A writer in Progress Artistique, in discussing the music of south Africa, says the races living there possess to an astonishing degree the faculty of assimilation and imitation. They re- produce with surprising fidelity the songs of birds, cries of animals and the various sounds of nature. Child-people, they receive in their otherwise obtuse brains impressions of freshness and vivid intensity. Their long solitary wandering upon hills and prairies, unit ed with fieeting association with for eigners, results in q species of melodic nature plaints, as one might imagine, a developed monkey music.

A GREAT SNAKE COLONY.

An Australian Enthusiast Has Fine Col
 Iecrion of venornous Reptiles.
 MT. J. McGarvie Smith, an eminent bacteriologist of Sydney, Australia, is the proprietor of probably the greatest collection of snakes in the world, says the New York World. He is in the business partly for scientific purposes and partly for business. He advertised some time ago for 500 venom ous reptiles, but one publisher refused to permit the advertisement until he had satisfied himself of the sanity of the scientist.
 The different species of yenomous snakes in Australia, so far as known, number 42, and Mir. Smith has speci- mems of all of them. The poison ex- tracted from the reptiles is largely used in the Pasteur institute in Paris.
 Mir. Smith is an enthusiast on the subject of snakes, and regards them as the most wonderful of living creatures. He has in his collection serpents that have gone nearly year without food and are still fat. He has injected some of their own poison into them without the slightest ill-effects to them. As a result of his investigations he has estab- lished the fact that :. n3I-poisonous snake is not affected ir ' way by the poison of the reucr!oi,s ocie4.
