Instantly Englishmen and Irishmen
recognized a good thing and Bass soon
found he had all he could do to supply
the homo trade. But for that wreck
one wonders when Bass would have
become the popular drink in this

The house of Allsopp goes back to
Samuel of that name, who lived at
Derby in the seventeenth century. But
Is was a century later that the seventh
and youngest son of the family married,
the only daughter of Ben Wilson, a
small brewer OF Burton on-Tre and
went to work with his father-in- law;
He left the brewery to his son Samuel,
who was the great brewer of the fam
lily in the early part of last century.
His first brew of the subsequent fam
Gus and fortune making ale was brew

STARTLING CONCLUSIONS,
DR.. Jacques Bertillon, head Of the
Statistics bureau OF the city of Paris,
has gone into the question very deeply
and has arrived al some astonishing
results. he finds that the birth rate
is lowest in the very departments

Normandy, the valley of the Garonnc,
Burgundy; and highest in those noted
for their comparative poverty Brit-
tany. the LoZere, .hveyron. In the city

precisely those where there are the
least children And so, too. in the fer
tile Lot-et- Garonne, the richest call
tons show the lowest birth rate. BY
numerous and incontrivertible facts.
DR.. Bcrtillon proves his statements
with the inexorability of a scientist
and arrives at the amazing conclusion
that the very wealth, the equal distr-
button of which throughout all ranks
and classes in France has been so long
the envy of the other less favored ma
tons of Europe, is the root of the
whole evil AS the law OF primogcni-
