PROBLEMS IN A N

There are some lessons which can be
learned from France. It will surprise
many readers to learn that France is
at q standstiH in many respects.
Complete reports from the recent
French census show that the gain in
population in the last five years was
only 34s,2s4, The total of ss,SO1, sos
indicates that in another half decade
there may be 10000, 600 people in
france.
But there are fewer Frenchmen than
there were I'VE years ago and every
thing argues that there will be fewer
in 1916 than there were in 1911. The
gain isall by immigration. Enough Bel
gians, Italians, Swiss, Spaniards, Ger
mans and others come into the country
to Offset, and a little more, the very
small emigration Of the natiye-born
French and their failure to keep the
births quite equal to the deaths.
More than 1,o00,0 900 natives OF for
eign countries live in France, about
two-thirds Of them being Italians and
Belgians. # 1t were not for this immi-

b THE KINGS VISIT,

England's king and queen have re-
turned from India. What effect has
been produced by this journey and the
display made? In commenting on this,
The Brooklyn Times recently said:
There was a time when it was the
general belief in England that King
George and Queen Mary were incur
ring a needless and foolish risk in adj
venturing themselves into India. They
had allowed themselves to be persuad-
ed into the belief that by travelling to
india they could confirm the wavering
loyalty Of the mass Of Hindu subjects,
whom none of their predecessors had
ever tried to placate except by the
sword, and those who remembered the
fate of former adventurers looked for
ward to evil news from the east to
confirm their f~orebodings.
But the visit and the coronation rites
are over, and the emperor and the
empress still live. nor does the throne
seem imperiled, but rather to rest up
on a stronger foundation than before.
1t is true that the old stronghold of the
East India Co., Calcutta, has lost much
of the distinction it enjoyed since the
beginning of the British occupation of
India Is the capital and citadel of
British authority; but what Calcutta
has lost, in the opinion of the people,
has been more than made up In the
delight Of an impressionable people in
the spectacle Of a sovereign crowned
in the ancient and historic capital of
India.
The sight of a real Kaiser-e Hind
being crowned in their ancient capital
has done more to revive the long-dor-
mant loyalty of India than could be
otherwise. accomplished. If the kings
visit vas prompted, as is believed, by
the advice Of Lord Curzon, it was good
advice.

THE ANSWERED PRAYER.
How the Poor Dutch Family Got Broad
on Christmas Eve.

How the Poor Dutch Family Got Bread
on Christmas Eve.
Poor Mrs. Van Loon was a widow.
She had four little children. The eldes,
was Dirk, a boy of eight years.
1t was Christmas eve. She had no
bread, and her children were hungry.
She folded her hands and prayed to God.
When she had finished her prayer
Dirk said. Mother, don't we read in
the Bible that God sent ravens to a
pious man to bring him bread?'
YES" answered the mother, but
that's long, long ago, my dear"
well" said Dirk, then the Lord
may send raven now. Ill go and
open the door, else they can't fly in"
Shortly after the burgomaster pass
ed by. He is the first magistrate of q
Dutch town or village. Seeing the
open door, he stopped.
Looking into the room, he was pleas
ed with its clean, tidy appearance. He
could not help stepping in and, ap-
preaching, said, "Eh, my good woman,
why Is your door open so later"
Mrs. Van Loon quickly rose and
dropped a courtesy to the gentleman;
then, taking Dirk's cap from his head
and smoothing his hair, she answered,
with a smile. my little Dirk has done
it, sir, that the avens may fly in to
bring us bread"
"Ah, indeed" he exclaimed cheer
fully; Dirk is right. Here is a raven,
you see, and a large one too. Come
along, Dirk, and I'll show you where
the bread is"
The burgomaster took Dirk to his
house and ordered his servant to put
two loaves and a small pot Of butter
into a basket. When the other little
children saw the bread they began
dancing and clapping their hands. The
mother gave to each of them a thick
slice Of bread and butter, which they
ate with the greatest relish.
When they had finished their meal
Dirk went to the open door and, TAX
ing his cap from his head, looked up
to the sky and said, MANY thanks,
good Lord!" And after having said
this he shut the door.-Sphere.
