DEpoPULATIoN PROBLEM.

Every now and then attention is
called to the SLOW rate OF increase OF
the French population. In flfty years Il
Is now stated, the population OF that
country has increased by less than five
milllons-from A,930,OO0 In 1851 to 49,
5a5.l3O in 1901. The increase has been
from per cent to as low as slx-tenths
Of one per cent IN ten years. Other
countries have increased by from NJ
teen 10 six per cent In like periods.
The United States, because OF immigra-
ton, increases twenty per cent and
more every ten years
To the minds Of some Of the wisest
statesmen the depopuatIon problem
has assumed ugly proportions Some
indeed, have refused to see anything
abnormal in that symptom, They hold
that the quality OF a population counts
for more than rs quantity when
France Is inhabited by twenty million
strong and healthy human beingsit VIII
be stronger than It is now" says one
exponent Of this philosophy and In sup
oort OF this theory q rich Norman gen.
tleman, two years ago, left twelve mil-
lion francs to the city Of Rouen as
fund TO provide doYrles for gigantic
couples, and thus to regenerate the
race.
But this view Is not general, And
therefore numerous remedies have been
proposed, and the curious fact about
these is. that they are, nearly all OF
them. repetition Of legislative enact
msnts that were adopted by ancient
nations that have vanished notwith-
standing such measures. Among the
remedies proposed is, for instance the
division OF legacies among heirs accord
ing 10 the number OF their children
For example, the tostator has two sons,
one married and father OF four children,
the other single The legacy Is divided
into six parts, Of which the bachelor
takes one and his brother the rest The
ancient Romans went further than
that. Among them bachelors could
receive nothing by bequest. Married
men without children and widowers
without children could receive only part
Of what was bequeathed to them. The
forfeited legacles went TO the nearest
heir who was married and had chill
dren; in default OF such an HEIR to the
state.
The trouble with all such laws is that
they AFFECT only wealthy people That
is one reason why they fail.
Another proposed plan seems TO o'
more adapted TO the needs Of
the age. 1t contemplates usinl
the suffrage as reward fol
the care OF large families Tit
plan is to give 10 the married man al
