HIGHER FRENCH BIRTH RATE.

Statistican Argues That the Future
Looks Brighter Now Than Formerly.
Paul LerOy-Beaulieu, the French
statistician, in a recent article in the
Debats argues that the tide has be-
gun to turn in the matter of the birth
rate in France. In 1901 857 ,274 births
were recorded, as compared with
S27,297 in 1900, an increase of near
ly 10000. Nineteen hundred was the
worst year in this respect France
ever had, so that this comparison Of
itself does not mean much. The en-
couraging sign, however, is that the
number Of births last year was 4,274
in excess OF the average annual num-
Der of births for the decade ending
with 1900. This notable increase is
due almost entirely to Brittany
where the hardest men of the
French nation are raised. In 1901
the births in the department of Finis-
tere exceeded the deaths by 1855 in
total population of 1904 In tell
other departments the number OF
births exceeded the deaths.

The Secretary Was Stumped.

A congressman called on Secretary
Wilson in regard to a bill before con-
gress, but the secretary said he knew
nothing about the mea. ure. 81 never
attempt to influence legislation be-
fore congress- he said. The repre-
sentative was sorry to hear this, be-
cause he had received a long letter
reciting reasons why the bill should
be passed. He read the letter and
the secretary said somewhat impa-
tiently: We'll, what of it," Moth
ing, only this communication was
signed by you," Mr.. Wilson sat up
with a start. Jasper" he said to
his son, who acts as his private sec
rotary, 'did l ever write a letter like
that?" mo, father" the son replied,
''but Prof. Blank wrote it and you
signed it."

Short Story
Of the DAY
LOVE AND JEALOUSY.
By Hester Pollock.

4 loud knock sounded on the outer
door
Enter called Father Time, cheeri
Iy.
The door swung softly forward, re
vealing a messenger on the threshold
"You?" said Father Time, in sur
prise.
"Why, you were here only a few
moments ago. Is earth, then, so de-
sirable an abiding place
The messenger shrugged.
And what now - he added.
"a little girl, sir said the mes
senger, doffing his plumed cap.
Father Times glance roved up and
down the long, many paneled room
Then, stepping to one Of the panels
he touched it lightly 1t opened, and
soul came forth, blinking in the uh,
accustomed light, then, raising its
wistfu1, questioning face, it remained
in waiting attitude.
Father Time regarded the waiting
soul with something akin to pity in
his rugged, kindly face. Then he
spoke:
"On that fair planet to which you are
going" he began, slowly, as if recit-
ing a lesson we'll conned, 'Iove is the
divine essence of existence. Over
and over again the hOurglass of the
centuries records the eXquisitely ten
der story, old, yet ever new-Over and
over again men live for love, and fire.
quently die for loves sweet sake alone.
But this wonderful world-old love
which is priced so dearly''-he bent
forward and lowered his voice-~has a
dwarfted half-sister-a child of dark
ness, as love is the child of light
called Jealousy, and, while love, is like
unto d sunlit wave dancing in the
delicious joy Of it's own pure transpar
ency, jealousy is the dark, swift NOV
ing, treacherous undercurrent through
which no light can penetrate"
A moments pause, and the grave
monotonous voice, with it's element OF
sternness, resumed:
Your heritage is beauty, and wit
and truth, and gentleness-al the
graces of mind and body that conspire
to compel love-but, wherever you
may chance to wander, you will also
arouse the ugly half-sister-"
At this the soul, which had hitherto
borne itself so braveIy, cried out in
protest, and, shuddering, buried its
face in its hands, but, with gentle re-
lentlessness, Father Time continued:

An ingenious dueling sword was
shown the other day in Paris by the
wellknown fencer, M. Hissard, to the
members of the Societe d'Escrime
a pEpec. By novel arrangement,
when the fencer touches his opponent,
the blade of the sword enters the
handle a short distance and sets a
marker in motion. which registers any
number from nought to three. The
idea of the invention is to prevent
disputes between fencers, and enable
them to judge of the value of their
eoups.

SOLDIERS ON LABOR ROLLS
IN THE DEPARTMENTS
Judge Kimball Tells President They
Have Not a Fair Chance.

Judge Ivory G. Kimball called upon the
President yesterday In reference to the
appointment OF soldiers on the labor
rolls IN the departments. Judge Kim
ball pointed out to the President that
the rules OF the Civil Service operate
against the veterans because OF their
age and physical condition. No soldier
Of the civil war is under fifty-six years
OF age, and no such application for ap-
pointment TO the labor rolls Is entitled
TO receive a greater rating than Sc In
addition many OF the soldiers are in
frm to greater or less degree. and
in consequence are handicapped with re-
spect to physical conditions. The Presi-
dent expressed interest in the matter
and desire to aid the veterans. He will
probably refer the subject to the Civil
Service Commission.
