The worId,s Population.

Much is made Of" the fact that the population of France is decreasing. Is it because we all shall be losers. if the death rate of that country contin- ues to exceed the birth ratel Or is it because the rest of the world is es- pecially fond of the French2 Or is it because we fear that some day ths population of the earth vii be so small that human beings will not be numer- ous enough to combat wild beasts and other evils which are successful ly com mbatted today
 Whatever may be the feelings with which the rest Of mankind beholds the steady decline of the French peo- pie in numbers, the fact is there are still people enough on the planet; for while the population of France has in- crea sed only 3, 3,OOo.o00 since 1852, that of Germany has increased 30. 900, ,0O0.
 Would it not be better, then, to look on both sides of the population pie ture? It also might be well 10 con- sider this fact: If the French people have done their turn on this planet, the planet may have to reconcile itself to seeing them disappear or ningle with some other race.-Boston Globe.

ON SMOKING IN PUBLIC.
A Discussion of the Practice from
 Many Points of View.

The waste of money paid for drink is accompanied by the still greater waste of moral force and standing;
 and followed by the disease, misery
 and crime so often the consequence of
 the liquor habit.
 The matter of smoking cannot be
 discussed on the same grounds. nor
 does the correspondent nor many other
 critics hold that the habit entails any
 such results. Save a few fanatics, no
 one objects to a reasonable consump-
 tion of tobacco by those who have at
 tained their full growth. but there is
 no doubt that smoking in public places
 has approa the point where it is
 not only a nuisance but may even be-
 come menace to health. One has
 only to stand upon the street and count the number of men who pass with cigars, pipes or cigarettes, blow ing into the air clouds of smoke con- taining who knows how many million bacteria, splitting on the pavements or throwing butt ends of cigars into the gutter with the same possibilities of spreading risease, to realize the truth of this assertion. Tobacco smoke is constantly puffed in the faces of men, women and children, to whom 1t is most offensive. It is almost impossi- ble to enter a restaurant of any stand ing without being greeted by a tobac- co laden atmosphere so dense that all but strong stomachs will quail at it. In street cars, especially in warm weather. the passengers must often ride for miles with the tobacco fumes of the front platform smokers blowing in their faces. Offices reek with the stench of burning tobacco or extin- guished cigars.
 There is no one quite so selfish as a man addicted to tobacco. As writer in the Outlook recently said. the man who smokes a cigar detests one who smokes cigarette or a pipe. and the others return the feeling. They do not seem to realize that the person who does not smoke at all has good reason for hating all their tribe. The person and garments of a smoker are redolent of tobacco, and this odor offensive to so many, is sometimes so pungent as to be distinguished at a con3iderable distance. sickening those who ,have to endure it.
 Reform in this matter will not come until every man realizes that it is im- polite to smoke in the presence of non | tobacco users without asking permis- sion; that it is bad manners, to say the | least, to pass through crowded streets | puffing smoke in others faces; that a | an elevator car or an office | much frequented by the public is no | place to smoke at all; in short that he 1 should not indulge in, habit which | will put any other person to inconven- | ence of discomfort. It is a question | of good taste. of consideration for the | feelings of others of chivalry, if you | will, and gentlemanly instincts.-Chi- | cago Tribune.
