French NOblemen ana Their wealth.
Recent statistics show that, while at
the time of the French revolution the
number of princes and dukes in France
was only 23S, to-day there are 400. Ac-
cording to Lavoisier, the total number
of mobiles in France at the end of the
eighteenth century was only 5000, but
according to the most recent Almanac
de In Noblesse, about 100000 French
persons are now provided with IT,

The same increase is observed In the
wealth possessed by the noble families
Of France, which is calculated at about
ten times the amount they possessed at
the time of the revolution. The richest
heiress Of the time, Mile. d'OrleaHs,
daughter of the duke, had an annual In
come of $50O,O00, while there are more
than score of noblemen in France at
