paper to every 10000 inhabitants
One of the most remarkable papers
in Europe--indeed in the worlds
the Paris Petit Journal, about which
some striking figures We're recently
published 1t is half-penny, four
page paper, undoubtedly the most pop
uar in France, and has circulation
of over 100000 copies daily. Its net
profits are over $750,000 yearly. 1t is
somewhat difficult to see to what this
truly colossal sale is due, but probably
| it is the light and popular" style of
the paper, and its abstention from the
| dry political polemics which distin-
guish most of its rivals. 1t Is rab-
idly anti-English journal, and has
caused some amusement lately by the
airing of pet schemes for the annihila-
ton of "Perfde Albion" Its staid
and sober contemporary, the Temps,
makes an annual net profit of about
$4,000, which would seem to show
| that steadiness and sobriety in a Pa
risian newspaper are not so profitable
as Jew-baiting, anti-Dreyfusism and
| Anglophobia

In the strongly Roman Catholic
countries Qtaly. Spain and Portugal
the newspapers present one striking
popularity, which gives them a most
curious appearance-thati is the notices
inserted by the relatives of deceased
persons, which are printed with deep
black border and usually headed by
a black cross. One may often see q
whole page covered with these de-
pressing advertisements. The notices
themselves are very curious, for, after,
announcing the decease of the depart
ed one, they go on to that "the wife,
father, mother, brothers, sisters,
brothers = in law, sisters in law,
nephews, nieces and other relatives.

ceremony" etc. Similar notices are
often inserted on the anniversary OF
the death, and the same long list OF
relatives request the prayers OF the
deceaseds friends for the repose OF
his soul-London Mail.
