France and Great Britain.

The population of France in 1891 was
3S,543,192, and Of Great Britain 1885,
153, or difference Of only about half a
million in favor of France. 1t is now
announced that the census to lie taken
the coming year win show that tins pop
ulation of Great Britain is the greater.
The reason for this reversal of relation
is the small birth rate of France and tne
unusually largo 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 aboTe cause accounts for the
relative British increege of ogcr ,O0o,-
900. The area OF France is nyor 241. .G0G
miles, and that of Great Britain only a
little more than half as great, Or 12I ,4s1

arARvlNe PARIS pocroRs.


AoA AAgagh Pntlents-FApe Hospitals Cur
ineo the Practice OF Many Physicians.
A double Buicide, which shocked
Paris the other day, brought to the at
tention of the public Observation-Disclosures
In which. it is said, the majority of the
physicians of that city live, says the
New York World. DIR. 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 pow
erty among physicians is the destitu-
tion 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
so 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
the rudiments of medicine and surgery.
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
atruction.

Col. A. 7. Vogelsang, the attorney,
is regarded as one of the best racors
teurs Of the legal profession. In the
Palace grillroom recently, says the San
Francisco Call, he let out a string of
anecdotes. He said that a few weeks
ago Dennis Spencer, the Napa lumi-
nary. was called upon BY Chinaman
one evening, when the following dia-
IOgue occurred:
".0ne Chinaman kill another China
man with hatchet; how much you
charge make him clear?
".I'll take the case, said Mr.. Spencer,
for $1,000

There was some curiosity on the part
Of the audience for further light on the

HOLES IN THE CANVAS.
A Important Discovery Increasing the
Efacacy Of Sails.

Efzlcacy Of Sails.
An italian sea captain, Clio Batta
vasallo, of Genoa, has made 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
sail, since the air in front of itcannot
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 deepestwhen it
is filled; these holes are reinforced like
buttonhole so that they will not tear
out. Trials made in various weather
have resulted as follows: With light
wind, a boat with ordinary sails made
four knots, while the new sail increased
the speed to 81 lInots, In a fresh breeze
the respective speeds were seven and
az knots; and in a strong wind they
were eight and ten knots per hour. 1t
stands to reasoa that the doing away
with layer of ar, which cannot escape
past the sides Of the sail, must increase
the efficiency OF the sailboat. Where
the wind formerly struck cushion of
air which acted like a spring mattress,
decreasing the i.ctual. nressure. of the
