The Passing Of the French.

TTOiO Harper y WeekIy.
The population of France, whose 30
600, 600 formed the most numerous ma
tional mtnolingual group In Europe at
the opening of the last century, has
increased only 26 per cent during the
past hundred Years, as against Eng
lands $50 per cent, and Americas 1900
per cent.
The total population of France is now
male in number, the figures being, re-
spectively, 1883, 1893 and 1886, 8S9. On
the other hand, ar excess in the mum
Der of the unmarried is shown on the
masculine side, the respective figures
being 9.911,11S and 9,il4,356. There are
1884. S97 widows and divorced women,
as against 1.0G5, SS4 widoMers and d.
vorced men.
The ulnbe of French families is o.
7s1,ll7. of which 1.314.713 are without
children: 2.249.337 have but one child;
2.OlS, 665 have TWO; 1876, 264 have three;
74S.4S1 have four. 429, 799 have s; 24S,-
1853 have six; 1873. 76a have seven; 1881

dreI. These figures continue to repre-
sent. in n rapidly decreasing proportion
the number of families having a large
number of children. Upon comparing
these groups OF figures. it will be per-
ceived that for about two-thirds of the
families Of France h average number
OF children does not exceed three; while
for about one and one-half per cent of
them the average number is seven: and
for less than one pc, cent OF the same,
eight children. ~Twenty-four families

And her sign read Nineteen sixtv.'

Stood his manly from all day.
And he grew to love the lady
In the aisle across the way.
She returned his mute affection.
Day by day she loved him more,
AND at the close of business he
Would sing across the store:

You are so sweet, my heart would
