Wasteful Expenses Mean Increased
 Taxation and Wrathful People

From Leslie's Weekly.
 If the people of this country realized the enormous increase in public expendi- lures in late years there would be such an outcry against this extravaganza that 1t would shake political centers. The Wall Street Journal recently showed that the municipal debt in the 12 large cities in the United States had increased from A,ss7.167 in 1899 to s1, 900. 173,01e in 1909. The largest increases were in Boston and New York. The debt of the latter has grown in the last decade three times faster, approximately. than that of any other city. We have recently referred to the fact that before the Spanish-American war. in 1S95-97, the expenses of the United States government amounted to only s365,- 000.oo0. while during the last year they were double that amount.
 What justification is there for this enor- nous increase in public expenditures? :? Are we so prosperous that we do not re- gard the increasing burden of taxation? It would seem so, for in many of our cities the experiment of conducting pub lie utilities at great expense is still being considered States are expending money fin every direction. and the federal gov ernment is putting it's army and navy all most on a war footing and formulating prodigious plans for public improvements, some of them of doubtful utility. The next great political issue Is bound to be based on demand for retrenchment and economy in public expenditure.

VITAL STATISTICS
 FOR SIX MONTHS French Statement Causes Some
 Lamentation BIRTHS ARE DECREASED While Death Increase at an Astonlsh- Ing Rate-clvIl Servants Win
 Cross of Legion of
 Honor
BY GEORGE DUFREsNE.

Paris, November O.-There is great la mentation over the official statement of births and deaths in France during the first six months of the present year. It shows a decrease of II. se2 births, and an increase of @.o1s deaths. as compared with the corresponding period of last year. The diminution in population has been for some time a cause Of consider able anxiety, but these latest figures are regarded as simply appalling.
 Dr. Bertillon. who has given much at- tention to this important subject, has been asked for his opinion, and he says that several explanations can be found for this; the chief among them being a sort of law that the richer a country be- comes the moro its birth-rate decreases. Thus there are fewer children in wealthy families than there are in poor ones.
 Take Paris for example. In the suburbs, inhabited by the working cltsses, the birth rote is still fairly up to the mark; where as in the rich quarter, 1t is terribly small. Add to this the fact that the Malthusian theories are spreading more and more, and the full reason for this alarming state Of things will be found. Since the beginning of the last century the birth rate in France has not ceased to decrease and to approach the death-rate, which it has now exceeded.
 Pecuniary considerations are responsible for 1t all. Dr. Bertillon says that the evil could be best combatted by allowing more freedom in the drawing up of wills. France Is the only country in Europe in which the birth-rate is diminishing, and the only great country in which the law insists on an equal distribution of property among children.
 All sorts of remedies have been suggest ed by the politicians and economists, but there is no doubt that Dr. Bertillion has struck at the root of the evil. Peo- pie who have attained wealth and com fort do not care to leave their children poor and struggling, and this, as may be noticed, is a marked trait of French char acter.
 The French set people in many coun- tries a noble example of devotion to their children, as witness the sacrifices to which so many French parents cheer fully submit in scraping up dowries for their daughters, stinting themselves in every possible way. in order to secpre a good match for them.
 But that this self-sacrifce Is not with out it's drawbacks, as regards those for whose benefit 1t is made. Is a fact that cannot well be denied. Setting aside the case of daughters and dots, it must be acknowledged that it leads young men to depend too much on their parents, and so prevents them from launching out boldly into the battle of life. This practice does not conduce to self-help and enterprise and, as has been noticed, the great evil of the system is now notorious, for so many people, who have property to leave prefer to bequeath 1t intact, or as nearly so as possible.

the cross Of the Legion Of Honor, by long campaigns on a stool in a government office, will no longer be escorted to their last resting place by martial mourners. Hitherto 1t was compulsory, in the ab- senee of the express wish of the deceased, to the contrary, for the war office to send detachments of troops in full uniform, with band, to attend the funeral of any knight of the Legion of Honor. and rem der military honors, however non-mili- tary his career might have been.
 Henceforth military honrs are to be given only to military men dying while in active service. The garrison of Paris will thus be spared ceremonial duties which took up the best part of its time.
 Dancing, 1t seems, amuses hyenas. They love to see 1t, and become interested spec tators It took a former inmate of a lu- natic asylum to demonstrate this hitherto unknown scientific fact, and his proof has been undisputed. The keepers of the Jardin des Plantes. which Is the Paris zoo. observed a strange looking man walking around the cages of the wild beasts early in the morning, talking and gesticulating wildly. Suddenly he took off his coat and climbed over the iron bars into the cage where two hyenas were kept
 
 | truder at first, but when he had taken off most of his clothes and started a cake walk, they became interested. Their eyes twinkled and their kimpy tails wagged as | they crouched down and watched his movements. They would not for the l world interfere with the free entertain ment he offered them
 It was when the keepers captured the intruder and hauled him, bound with ropes, out of the cage, that they pufred, snorted and otherwise protested against the interruption of the spectacle. Their well-intentioned friend has been taken back to the asylum whence he had been released only a month ago. | A rather amusing dialogue was heard in 1 one of the Paris courts 6 short time ago. A tradesman had been sentenced at Yer sailles to four months Imprisonment for having fired a revolver at his wife, who was wounded in the nose. He took an appeal The wife made her appearance in court, and, having advanced to the bar, delivered the following remarkable | speech:
 Tn firing on me with a revolver my husband only did his duty. had left him for no valid reason. So he acted rightly and what he did was quite natural. I may add that I had asked to have e bar rister appointed to plead, but no one was | selected for us."
 But you fulfill that part very well," the presiding judge sallantly observed. I Besides" the wife continued, T have withdrawn my complaint"
 But you are wounded" the judge ob- | jected.
 Not at all," was the calm reply. Why you speak through your nose." ', VS< ky the organ had been injured by the bullet. "Ohp' the wife answered, 'I have done | so from my birth. Has a bullet in the nose of a woman ever prevented her from | taking7"
 | The generous wife did not succeed in getting her husband of, but the penalty was reduced to two months imprison- ment. perhaps as a tribute to her ready wit
