One of the things which is most close
II studied in France by the savants and
statisticians in the government employ
and out is the steadily diminishing
birth rate. A recent writer on the sub
ject NJ. Jacques Bertillon, who has been
making some exhaustive researches,
says that the reason why there are so
many foreigners in Paris holding fucra-
tive positions and doing all sorts of
skilled manual labor isthat the demand
is greater than the nation of itself can
supply.
In pamphlet which NJ Bettillon has
written on the subject he dwells on the
necessity of colonizing and developing
the rich natural resources of Madagas.

these words:
"It is the French woman who holds
in her hands the developments of that
beautiful and UNNECESSARILY rich
island. The women of France haze few
children. and they cannot endure the
thought of having them depart for
far distant land, though they will Serve
their mother country well by doing so.

VCTORIA'S DESCENDANTS.

She IL the Only English Sovereign to Havs
Great-GrandchiId
A laborious genealogist announces
IS the result of years of minute labor
That the queen has had nine children,
Of whom she has lost two; Al grand
children, of whom eight have died,
and % great-grandchildren, all of whom
are living.
She has therefore 60 descendants liv-
ing-seven children, 80 grandchildren
and % of the next generation
Her next eldest great-grandchild, the
Princess Feodore of Sa1e-Meiningen, ia
now nearly II, so that in all probability
her majesty will live to see her grand
children's grandchildren.
Few English sovereigns before Queen
Victoria have seen grandchildren grow
out OF infancy, and none ever saw a
great-grandchild. Hence, her majesty
had TO determine the question Of prece-
dence in the case of the duchess of
Tife's children, and she wisely decided
that they should rank only as daughters
of duke
The decision was In accordance with
a house law decreed earlier In the rign
by which the title of prince and royal
highness is limited to the children of
the sovereign, and the children of the
sovereign's sons, the children of the
sovereign's daughters taking prece-
deuce only according to the rank of
their fathers
Thus Princess Helena's children rank
as children Of Prince Christian only,
while the duke Of Connaught's are
royal hiRhnesses, and Prince Arthur Of
Connaught's son and successor. IL be
has one, will be duke of Connaught as
IN ordinary duke. taking precedence
merely by date OF the creation of HIS
dukedom.
This is now the case Of the duke OF
on the roll OF the house Of
lords, though ne is styled royal high
ness as son of king Of Hanover
