plminution Of French Birth rats.


Diminution OF French Birth Rate.
The journal oficiel has just pub
fished the French vital statistics for
1910. The most striking fact is that
the excess OF births over deaths is
only 70.5S1. as against s4.061 in the
previous year. In England and Aus
tria-Hungary the excess is about $780,
600. This result is a consequences
Of the extraordinary fall in the births,
which have dropped from 1.000,01S in
1859 to $4,000 Ia 1868. S99, 900 In 1887
and 774.35S in 1910 If the total pop
nlation remains stationary 1t is be-
cause the death rate also has consid-
erably diminished. The actual figures
are 703.T77, the lowest ewes observed.
But DR.. Bertillon, the celebrated stat
istician, justly remarks that this re-
suit Is due partly to the diminution in
births, since it is the infants that
furnish the largest part OF the NOR
tally statistics. Thanks to the prog.
ress of hygiene and of care for the
children, infant mortality has fallen
from IA per cent In 1906, to IL per
cent at the present time.

Each of you who had $1,000 stand
up" persisted DR.. Johnston.

and laughed. but none OF them arose
DR.. Johnston kept putting the propo-
sition, lowering the amount by 500
each time. and when he got down to
$3.50 one Of the directors stood up
and said that was the amount Of his
capital when he began business.
