FRANCE IS RICHER
 AS A REPUBLIC

Paris, May 22.-viscount Georges d'Avenel, a political economist, who has the unique gift of making statistics interesting, has given curious histori- cal lecture on the wealth of France. His view is that democracy enriches, instead of impovishes, nation, and he certainly proves 1t as far as this country is concerned.
 France today Is six times richer than she was under the old monarchy. and 10 times richer than in the Middle Ages. Her total fortune amounts to $46,000, 900, 900, as compared with $s,- 900 ,000 900 only recently.
 Moreover, her present wealth has been built up almost solely in the last 50 years. Of the great fortunes of the eighteenth century, either in estate or movable property, almost none sur vive today. In particular, the few large landed estates of today have been all formed during the past half cen tury.
 This is, of course, the country where property is most evenly distributed and the yiscount gives some remarkable fig ures in this connection. Only 5000 per sons in France own capital yielding S20,O0O a year.
 The lecturer also mentioned the low pay Ol CIVIL SeTNdHlS, Ol NIlOlH Olily AVVO draw salaries of $500 a year, which is a small figure compared with the earn ings of men employed in business the three managers of a certain large shop, for instance, which is only one of half a dozen similar establishments in Paris, be- ing paid $40,000 a year each.
 Present incomes, in spite of the equali- zation of property, are far greater than those of past centuries. Thus, the total annual revenue of the Crown under Saint Louis never reached an amount the pur- chasing value of which today would be $90O,000, and the Queens privy purse was equivalent only to 5000 a year.
 The conclusion of the lecturers histori- cal survey of the wealth of France was a prophecy for the future: Three hundred years hence. socialism will be remembered by historians as a quaint fad and they will be amused to think that for a brief period in the past men seriously feared it.

Derivation of Brandy"

From the London Post.
 Dr. Philip Schidrowitz, analytical chem ist, London, said in answer to Dr. Ade- ney that there was general idea that the word brandy was derived from the German. The English word, however, was as old asGts continental equivalents. It was formerly spelled "brandywine" and then ~brand- wine" The prefix, which was common to all Teutonic words for brandy meant thing burning or that had been burnt. Therefore the word meant "burnt-wine." Taking it as an English word, brandy might be defined as a spirit derived by distillation of the fermented juice of any fruit

Their first victim was another servant, wanted to get rid of her child. This ser want was sold certain magic drops, which would cause the child to die slow ly If drunk by the mother.
 Encouraged by their success, the witches invented "a chief of the gypsies, a mighty sorcerer," who could cure can cer, which he diagnozed as worms in the brain."
 For this cure they raked in considerable sums. Burning a knotted handkerchief was one of the remedies which the non existing gypsy chief was professed to recommend.
 When the incredulous began to doubt the gypsy, the swindlers discovered an aged shepherd, who was in possession of a golden wheel of life" which he would turn for any one wanting golden life who was ready to pay a silver hundred marks.
 The aged shepherd, in addition, drove out spirits, which he affirmed, perhaps not without reason, are one of the causes of gout.
 Incredible as it seems, this legend> was believed by a wealthy horse. owner, who paid the sorceresses 600 marks In order to gain the shepherds favor.
 The sorceresses are now in jail for two years.

Despite compulsory education, men and women are sometimes found on the Spree as superstitious as their unlettered broth CTS on the Volgd.
