ENGLAND,s BIRTH RATE.

Some time ago official statistics show
ed that the population of France was
practically at a standstill and that the
birth-rate had declined heavily. Eng
lish newspapers commented on the
matter with ponderous wisdom, talked
about immortality and absinthe, and
warned France of danger ahead unless
there was speedy reformation.
Recently there was a census enumer-
alton of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain. When the figures were made
public 1t was learned with something
like CONSERVATION in some quarters
that the birth rate in England was de-
Ginning at a more rapid rate than in
France. DR.. Fremantle, Dean of FL
pom, has written a strong letter to the
Times on the subject in which he de-
nounces the decrease in births, or
rather, the "wilful diminution of our
race" as a "crime against humanity
and its author" Now what will Eng
land say respecting absinthe drinking
in France?
Twenty-Five years ago there were
born in the United Kingdom IS chill
dren for each 1000 of population, per
year. Last year, according to the GEN.
sus figures, the rate was 29 births per
1000 per annum. The population OF
the British Isles is 41,50O,0O0. Had the
birth rate of 1875 been maintained there
would have been $4,000 more children
born in 1900 than were born. Since the
decline has been progressive, the total
loss" of British subjects during the
quarter of a century has been some
millions. Should the decline continue
in the same ratio, DR.. Fremantle esti-
mates that twenty-five years hence the
rate will be % births per 1000. and in
fifty years ii will have reached II per
1,000-"the lowest figure which we can
imagine the birth rate to reach"
An odd circumstance in connection
with the lowered birth rate is that the
loss has not been so great in the large
cities as in the smaller ones. In Lon
don the rate is about the average for
the whole country. 20, while in West
moreland it is only 20, and at Hudders-
field. an important manufacturing CEN
ter, the rate is %. There are actually
400 fewer people there than there were
ten years ago, and the school trustees
are unable to fill the school houses. DR..
Fremantle takes a rather pessimistic
view of the situation, and concludes
that there is no reason 20 doubt that
the Limitation of families will go on be-
yond any assignable limits unless the
conscience of the nation is awakened
to its tremendous danger"

"A few days ago the Rev. the Earl
of Devon celebrated his ninetieth birth
day. He is believed to be the oldest
clergyman of the Church of England in
active work, and in spite of his ninety
years he may generally be seen in the
pulpit of Powderham Church on Sun
days. In addition to the Earl Of Devon,
there are two other clergymen who are
members of the House of Lords-the
Rev. Baron Scarsdale, father of Wis.,
count Curzon, Viceroy of India, and
the Rev. the Marquis of Normandy,
who is also a canon of Windsor and
frequently breaches in the royal city.
The Rev. the Earl of Devon is, how
ever, by far the best known of the
titled preachers. He is a prebendary

Eccentric Wills.

When Benjamin Franklin died, in
1890. says the Pittsburg Press, he left
a small sum of money which was not
to be used until the twentieth century.
His gift is at last available. and the
sum now amounts to $3.50 having
been invested at compound interest.
The trustees of the Franklin fund
have decided to use the money for the
erection of a Franklin Institute in
Franklin Square, Boston.
Curious provisions made by will are
more common than one would sup
pose. Within the last few months
there have been several examples of
eccentric disposals of property. To one
young woman has been left SIS, 900 by
her brother under the express condi-
tions that she neither marries nor be-
comes a nun. If the conditions are not
fulfilled the money is to be distributed
among other relatives.
To his three daughters an Italian
who recently died left $500 a year each
if they remained single and s., 800 each
a year if they married.
A late member of the English Parlia-
ment left by will to his two daughters
$4,000, with the provision that the
money is only to be payable if they
attain the age of 35 years without mar
rying either a citizen of the United
States or a Hebrew.
More singular even than these odd
requests was Lord Bute's wish, ex-
pressed just before his death, that his
heart should be taken to the Holy
Land and buried on Mount Olivet
which was accordingly done.
Even more eccentric than these
strange requests was Lord Southey's
cool arrangement for suicide by means
of a guillotine. He had a magnificent
one erected in the drawing room of his
house in the Rue de Luxembourg at
Paris. The machine was of ebony, in
laid with gold and silver, the frame
work carved with artistic skill. The
knife. sharp as a razor, was of polish
ed and ornamental steel. Preparing
for death, his lordship had his hair cut
close and. clothed in robe of white
silk, he kneeled upon the platform I'M

APPLES For GEORGIA.

According to an estimate made by
the New York Independent the apple
crop of the United States last year
amounted to 215,O00,000 barrels, worth
an average of 50 per barrel. That
would bring the total value of the crop
up to $3.50, 900. 900. The cotton crop of
1898 was worth about sS06,00O.000, and
the wheat crop of 1899 about 1920. O0O.-
900, making apples a leader OF both by
a long distance. 1t is probable that the
Independents figures are approximate
ly correct. although an estimate. odd
ly enough, Notwithstanding the enor-
nous proportions and great value of
the apple output, so little attention Is
paid to it that no official data is ever
gathered respecting it, while other and
less important crops are watched as
closely as a sick baby by government
officials, exchange and other function
aries.
How much of this apple money
comes to Georgia? Thousands and
thousands of dollars of apple money
go out of Georgia every year, but
how much comes here, or stays here?
1t is safe to say the sum is exceedingly
small. We are not an apple raising
state. Why? The one and only reason
is simply that we don't raise them;
that's all. We've got the climate and
we've got the soil TO produce apples
as fine as any in the world. This has
been demonstrated in isolated individ-
ual cases in the upper part of the
state. The high red hills and mountain
slopes of the northern section of the
state offer ideal conditions for apple
orchards; and crops in that section
would be practically unfailing. The
apple tree is a little slow of coming
into bearing. as compared with some
other fruit trees. but once 1t has come
in, it can be depended upon to furnish
its crop. except under the most extra
ordinarily adverse circumstances. And
the apple of good stock is a prolific
bearer
1t has been only a few years since
as little attention was paid in Georgia
to peaches for general market as ap-
pies now receive. The idea seems to
have prevailed that good peaches could
not be raised for market profitably this
far South. But now see what the peach
crop means for Georgia every season.
We are shipping literally millions of
baskets of the most luscious peaches
grown on the face of the globe, and
the industry is being constantly ex-
tended. And so 1t would be in the case
of apples within few years. IL that
fruit were TO be taken up carefully
and handled intelligently.
The mistake. however, should not be
made of trying to get first-c class re-
suits with inferior trees. Only the best
varieties should be planted, and they

The Englishman said that English
weather had one great faults sud-

threw it at Jones from distance of

transit of that SNOWFALL. believe me or

The well-known Rev. Charles H.
Parkhurst of New York, makes a point
of being very courteous to newspaper
men, and Is always willing to be seen
and interviewed, says the Saturday
Evening Post. He sets aside one hour
each day to be at home TO callers in
general; but to newspaper men he is
at home at nearly all times-except
on Saturday night. That night he de-
votes TO final preparation and thought
for his work of the next morning and
his rule has been never to be at home
after o'clock on Saturday evening.
In that particular he is like the late
DR.. John Hall, who would never allow
himself to be seen on a Saturday night.
DIR. Parkhurst is a Presbyterian, and
so was DIR. HAHN fact, they We're
the two most distinguished Presbyter-
ian ministers in the city.
About 10 o'clock on a certain Satur-
day night a report came into New
York newspaper Office that somebody
of Canadian Presbyterians had taken
exception to passages in book of Rev.
John Watson's-Ian Maclaren-and
that they even talked of forcing the
matter into regular church proceedings
against DR.. Watson on account of al
legged heresy.

gard to this"
The reporter knew very we'll that
the city editor did not expect him to
get those interviews, but was sending
him on a "forlorn hope" But he mere

comments and went out

farther of the two from the Office He
knew that if he sent up his card he
would merely receive a message that
DIR. Hall could not be seen. He de-
cided, therefore, that the doctor must
be made to feel an interest in the in
formation that he (the reporter) was
TO give.
The servant who opened the door
recognized him as a newspaper man,
won't see you on Saturday night" she
said.
Just tell Dr. Hail." said the reporer,
that I have news of an intended trial
for heresy of Ian Maclaren."
The servant took the message and
in a few moments the giant form of
DR.. Hall came hurrying down the
stairs.
Whats that about Ian Maclaren?"

The reporter told him, and then got
good interview from him in regard to
it.

But the newspaper man wrote on
