France and Great Britain

The population of France in 1891 was
38,343, 1872, and of Great Britain 81 $685.
1873, or difference Of only about half a
million in favor of France 1t is now
announced that the census to be taken
the coming year will show that the pop
ulation of Great Britain is the greater.
The reason for this reversal of relation
is the small birth rate of France and the
unusually large one in Great Britain.
There has been no emigration of conse-
quence into the latter country, and
France has lost but little by emigration,
SO that the above cause accounts for the
relative British increase of over 1,OOO,-
900. The area of France is over 24O.OOO
miles, and that of Great Britain only a
little more than half as great, or 121, 481
miles

STARVING PARIS DOCTORS.

Not Enough Patients-Free Hospitals Gut
Into the Practice of Many Physicians.
A double suicide, which shocked
Paris the other day, brought to the at
tention of the public the financial straits
in which, it is said, the majority of the
physicians of that city live, says the
New York World. DR.. Arnaud de Lang
lard, an old physician, who had been
decorated by the government for brave
conduct during the cholera epidemic
many years ago, committed suicide
with his wife because his practice had
dwindled to the vanishing point and
starvation was staring them in the face.
In commenting upon the tragedy sew
eral newspapers asserted that in Paris
not more than one doctor out of five
is able to make more than the barest
living Among the causes of this pov-
erty among physicians is the destitu
ton of most of their patients. Medical
science has made such great strides, too,
that maladies of all sorts are now more
quickly cured, and such precautions are
taken to prevent the spread of conta-
gious diseases that epidemics are be-
coming practically unknown. The
number of doctors, on the other hand,
has rapidly increased. Another reason
why there is not practice enough to
go around is that in many of the hos
pitfalls people can be treated for nothing
or at very nominal figure. Many of
these hospitals have training schools,
which are free, in which are taught
These schools are largely attended and
many sick people are taken in hand at
their own homes by some members of
the family who has profted by this in
struction.

HOLES I'm THE CANVAS.
In Important Discovery decreasing the
Efficacy of Sails.

In Important Discovery decreasing the
Efficacy of Sails.
An Italian sea captain, Clio Batta
Vasallo, of Genoa, has made a very in
teresting innovation in the use of sails
of ordinary sailing vessels. He claims,
says the Philadelphia Record, that the
force of wind cannot fully take effect in
a sail, since the air in front Of it cannot
properly circulate in the inflated part,
and remains stationary Immediately in
front of part of the sail proper. He
avoids this stagnation of air, as he calls
it, by the application of number of
small holes in that part of the sail
where the depression is deepest when it
is filed; these holes are reinforced like
a buttonhole so that they will not tear
out. Trials made in various weather
have resulted as follows: With a light
wind, boat with ordinary sails made
four knots, while the new sail increased
the speed to 81 knots. In a fresh breeze
the respective speeds were seven and
834 knots; and in strong wind they
were eight and ten knots per hour. 1t
stands to reason that the doing away
with layer of air. which cannot escape
past the sides of the sail, must increase
the efficiency of the sauboat Where
the wind formerly struck a cushion of
air which acted like a spring mattress,
decreasing the actual pressure of the
wind against the canvas, this current of
air now strikes the sail direct, and, OF
course. has a greater efficiency. Vasal-
10 has received much encouragement
from practical sailors as well as the
Oretica1 scientists

Entirely New Glass of Nomads SpringiH &

4 resident of Ell Red, Cal, writes to
the Topeka Kansan-Sun as follows:
''There is a class of men here called
blanket men, They go around the
country in crowds and herds, each one
CARRYING his roll of blankets, sleeping
anywhere. They beg from house to
house something to eat. They work a
few days at time, and then 60 and sit
in front of a saloon until their money
is gone. When Sunday comes they go
to a stream and wash their clothes. 1t
is just dreadful to think men can get
so low. | never thought there was any
good in the CoXey movement until now
he was the means of getting a large
number of these men out of the state.
''They say that California is the only
state where they can live in that way.
We ask them sometimes how they can
forget their homes in the east and live
Like animals. They say: 'Oh, it's the
climate!' Our preacher said when here
to tea: I believe more people will go
to hell from California than from any
other place, and it is all the fault of the
climate There are hundreds and hun
dreds of these men wandering from one
part of the state to another. They beg
for bread and work for whisky"

it rolled along a short distance and then
burst, flooding the whole neighborhood
with dazzling white light. No dam

A. N. Nelson was born the I'd day OF
March, 1sis. at Backaskog, in the province Of
Kane, Sweden. He left that country the 26th
day Of April 1867, and landed In New York
May 18th of the same year. He went direct to
vasa, Goodhue county, where he remained and
went to school for two months. Then he
went to Clifton Mills, near River Falls, Wis,
and hired out to a farmer. He remained
there three years working on q farm, and In
a saw mill during the winter. IN the fall Of
1870 he came to st. Paul and attended q
business college until June "A, 1871. He Sc
cured situation with retail shoe store on
Third street. where he worked three years,
when he was taken sick and confined to his
bed for portion of the winter of 1878 and
1874. Thinking that his sickness was due
to indoor work he went to work as carpenter
for Shrive Bros. pledging himself to work for
two years at SIPS day the first year and
Sl5O day the second year, with the provision
that he should work in the ONCE at draughtins
at least three months in the year. He worked
ar this trade until 1875 when, business being
poor, he went to work in the St Paul post
office as letter carrier. and later on as stamp
clerk, until the spring OF 1882, when. on tho
physicians advice, he resigned to seek OUT
door employment.
1t was at this time that, with the assist
ance of some friends. he organized the Saw.
ings Building society, and was elected its
secretary. Later he was elected secretary
OF the Seventh Street Building Associations
OF the City Of st. Paul In 1883 he bought out
a small fire Insurance. agency of two com.
panies, and this gave him start in that line,
and formed the nucleus for the business he
afterwards built up in that line During
the years that Mr.. Nelson has resided In st,
