DECREASING RAPIDLY.
on Very NOtfceably In the
Last Few Years.

Massachusetts, is facing the alarming
fact that while there was big increase
in the number of marriages in 1902, the
birth rate has fallen OF so noticeably
that Sweden and France are now the
only countries where fewer children are
born per 1000 of the inhabitants than
in the Bay state. The news is found in
the sixty-first annual report of Births,
Marriages and Deaths in Massachu-
setts,' edited by DR.. Francis A. Harris.
one of the medical examiners in Suffolk
county. DR.. Harris says:
'sThe birth rate for 1902 Is the lowest
since 1879, and a decrease Of 40 per cent.
from the previous year. Doubtless eco
nomic conditions Of the population have
an influential effect on the number of
births by increasing or decreasing the
number Of marriages, but to what extent
it is difficult to determine. In the num-
Der of births the children Of the for
eign born mother are largely in excess
over the native
The average birth rate for 1883
was $3.50 per cent. for native-born liv-
ing births and 1904 for foreign; the av-
erage of 1859-69, the native, 1905 and
1853 foreign; the average of 1898
was 1854 for the native and 1913 for
foreign; 1S74-7s. average 1882 for ma
tive and $3.50 for foreign; average 1879
80, 41.68 for native and 41.32 for foreign.
In 1890 the percentage Of native-born
was 1882, foreign-born, 44.1O: and in
1900 the percentage was 21.45 for native,
1870 for foreign-born.
The number of marriages registered
IN Massachusetts in 1902 was rs, 685,
which was 794 more than in 1901 and
l,s43 more than in 1900, and greater
than in any year since the beginning of
registration. The number Of persons
married for each 1000 of the estimated
population was 17.4S, so that the num-
Der OF marriages to each 1000 was 8.74.
The marriage rate, as calculated from
the estimated population, was OIL less
than the average rate for the decade
1893-1903, but the number Of persons
married was greater than in any year
since 1850"
Some singular facts are brought out
in the report. In the town of New Ash
field there was neither marriage, birth
nor death. Gosnold, a Martha's Vineyard
town, nearly equaled this record, having
neither marriage nor a death, but 1t
did have one birth. In Gay Head there
was one marriage, one birth and no
deaths. Seven sets of triplets were
born, aggregating Ia boys and seven
girls. -Four bridegrooms out Of the U.s.
6S5 married over 80 years of age. Three
women became brides at between 75 and
80. Seven girls married at the age OF
IA and 20 at the age of Is. The young
est boy married was 16 years old.

in the field. The Nez Perces had
been treated badly in the matter OF a
