THE POPULATION OF FRANCE.

Year by year the rate Of Increase OF

men that during 1908 there were 20i
births in every 10000 of the popula-
ton, and 1877 deaths. In other words.

grown in one year to 0007. At this

Mrs. Briggs Speech.

If brevity is the soul of wit, one of
the wittiest speeches on record was
made by a woman. Mrs. Briggs lived
in the northern part Of Indiana, long
distance from any village. Hearing
that the Rev. Mr. Goodwin was to
preach in a township some twenty
miles distant, she resolved to be pres
ent, and as no other way offered, she
walked the twenty miles.
The pastor heard of this, and was
so pleased at the appreciation which
1t showed that at the close Of the SER
mon he mentioned the fact to the con-
gregation, and called upon Mrs. Briggs
to tell them how she came.
Rising slowly, she looked over the
audience with great solemnity, and
said:
81 hoofed It."
Then she sat down again.-Youth' s
Companion.
