THE FRENCH BIRTH RATE.
Natural Increase In That ; Country
Makes Slow Headway.
Natural Increase In the population of
France Is making slow headway. The
number of births exceeded that of
deaths by 76106 In 1903 compared
with 63944 In 19C2 ir.aking the total
population at the beginning of 1904
39118995. But the number of births
continues to decrease being 18666
less in 1903 than in 1902 and 24332
less than the average for the preced-
ing ten years. That there is any in-
' crease at all in the population la due to
a coincident decline In the number of
deaths which in 1903 was 64788 bo-
low the average for the preceding ten
years. Excess of births over deaths in
France Is now 21 per 10000 of popu-
lation compared with 153 for Germany
and Holland 150 for Norway 125 for
Austria and 119 for Great Britain. The
number of divorces in France is stead-
ily increasing being 8919 in 19C3 or
1.758 more than the average for the
last ten years. ' .
Women Too Thinly Clad.
A certain physician Li New York
who caters to a smart clientele says
this 1b the busiest season of the whole
year to him. Colds and grip are epi-
demic and he blames gauze and open-
work hose for It. '"Women" he says
"think they can Indulge in the vaity
of spun-silk hose and still keep up a
good circulation. They think they
can wear a veil to protect their faces
Trom biting winds and Wear the thin-
nest stockings with continual cold
feet as a result and keep well. It's
the most absurd fallacy but you can't
mak them believe it at least not
until they're old and gray."
Engliahman't Luminous Idea.
Senator Depew tells the following

doctor's word the story has Internal
evidences of being genuine. Several

gation. All agreed that the accuracy
of the readings was marvelous. At this
point a very heavy-looking English-
man Interrupted. "I say" he drawled

Cecil Rhodes' Lack of Heart.
' Cecil-Rhodes at 'tlmei indeed gen-
erallyhad a brutal way of speaking
to employes. The Princess Radziwill
in her recent book has this savage
anecdote of him. One day some tourists
of Importance were visiting Groote
tscnuur. where they had been enter-
tained by Mr. Rhodes; he .took them
over the house and grounds land at last
enowed them one of Lobengula's sons
whom he employed as a workman on
his cstnta. This Jed to a talk about the
Matanele rebellion and the visitor
asked Mr. Rhodes in what year it had

Meaning of "High Plane Debate."
James B. Weaver the populist
candidate for President In 1892. and
Senator Dolliver of Iowa once held a
Joint debate. The details' of the de-
bate were arranged after much corre-
spondence and it was announced that
it was to be held "on the highest
plane possible." What the "highest
plane possible" was did not develop
until a short time ago when Dolliver
was talking about the debate. "It
was 'very simple" 'said Dolliver
"Weaver promised not to tell any lies
about me and I promised not to tell
the truth about Weaver." Chienco

. Sheep Have Big Tails.
A species of sheep common In Syria
Is so incumbered by the weight of Its
tail that the shepherds fix a piece tf
thin board to the under part where
It i "not covered 'with thick wool to
prevent It from being torn by the
biishes ttc.' Some have small wheels
affixed to" facilitate ' the dragging of
these boards after them.- The tall of
a common sheep of this sort usually
weighs fifteen pounds or upward
while that of a large species after be-
ing well fattened will weigh fifty
pound.
WILL NOT USE HIS TALENT
Alabama Senator with Gift of Humor'
Is a Serious Man.
Many members of congress regard
Senator Pettus as one of the greatest
humorists of the day though he care-
fully refrains from exercising his abil-
ity In that direction. The senator had
been well known in Washington for
years before any one suspected that
he 'possessed the ' slightest vein of
humor. A couple of years ago Sena-
tor Beveridge of Indiana delivered a
striking oration in the Benate. Some
thing in the speech seemed to agitate
Mr Pettus' funny bone for there and
then without the slightest prepara
tion he gave forth one of the most
laughable speeches ever heard on the
door. It was fully expected that he
would follow this up with other sim
ilar efforts but the venerable Ala-
bama man was much mortified at the
success he made for he wishes to be
egarded as a serious: man. Early In
ife he decided that success in debate
uould never be won by a man with a
eputation as a humorist and with the
single exception mentioned has care-
tully acted on that belief.
KAISER'S DENTIST A SUICIDE.
Jr. Sylvester Ends Life While Tempo-
rarily Insane.
Dr. Alonzo H. Sylvester Emperor
.Vllliam's American dentist committed
micide in Berlin Jan. 10. He shot
limself through the head in his bed-
oom. The emperor was fond of Dr.
3ylvester. He created him a royal
'russian councillor appointed him his
irivate dentist and gave him many
iresents. Dr. Sylvester was the pio-
teer American dentist in Berlin hav-
ing gone there thirty years ago. He
had an .extraordinarily large -. profes-
sional income but had nevertheless
financial difficulties. Recently he had
been suffering from a severe attack of
Influenza and for two or three days
he had talked incoherently. He was a
native of Maine. He graduated from
the Boston Dental college in 1871 and
soon after went to Berlin. He was
about 60 years of age.
Duchess Not f-opular In London.
No surprise is felt in London so-
ciety over the announcement that the
duchess of Manchester intends to re-
main for some time in this country.
The young duchess formerly Mis
Zimmerman 'of Cincinnati'' gave 'of-
fense to the smart set over there by
assuming airs of social superiority.
Besides Instead of doing as the Rom-
ans did she refused to participate in
the gambling games so popular In Lon-
don and even gave outspoken expres-
sion In her disapproval of such amuse-
ments. The result was that she
found her social ambition thwarted in
various ways and it is now said that
she came back to America in a fit of
pique to remain for an indefinite
period.
Want President at Nashville.
Senator Bate and three prominent
citizens of Nashville Tenn. have in-
vited the president to visit that city.
The president said that he intended
to visit the south next fall when he
would go to the home of his mother In
Georgia. .At the same time he will
take in Atlanta Richmond and other
cities. He would like to go to 'Nash
ville especially to visit the Hermitage
the home of President Jackson. The
president said that the trip he will
make in the spring will be through the
south proper. He will go to San An-
tonio and a few Texa3 cltites taking in
Louisville on the way but that would
be the extent of his southern journey.
Not a Strict Presiding Officer.
Speaker W. R. Stubbs of the Kansas
house of representatives does not ad-
tere strictly to conventional rules while
presiding over the deliberations of that
body. When a member addresses him
Mr. Stubbs does not say; "The mem-
ber from so-and-so county" but asks
"What is it Mr. Smith?" The other
afternoon the house was grinding
away on preliminary motions for ten
minutes when the reporters noticed
that there was no clerk taking the mo-
tions down. "You have no clerk here"
one said to Stubbs. "Just act as clerk
yourself until Knapp comes In" said
he:
Don't Coddle Your Rubber Plants.
Of all the freak remedies that are
sometimes proposed for sick house
plants these which are recommend-
ed for rubber plants are the worst.
They run all the way from applying
beefsteak and castor oil to the roots
to coating the leaves with milk. Give
your plants a properly prepared soil
and sufficient light and you will find
no necessity for such nostrums as
these. Make it a practice to go over
the plants daily with a soft cloth and
remove any Indication of dust scale

CALLED DOWN LORD CURZON
Earl of Suffolk's Criticism Inflamed
Indian Viceroy.
Rumor comes from London that
Mrs. Leiter's two titled sons-in-law
hate each other like poison. This
mutual dislike flourishes in spite of
the fact that the earl of Suffolk is aid-de-camp
to Lord Curzon viceroy of
India. The latter's anger always sim-
mers when Suffolk is near by but it
is said to have flamed up in the course
of a bear hunt in India. Lord Curzon
shot a cub which was crouching be-
hind a tree. Sportsmanship demands
that under such circumstances the
cub should have been killed with a
hunting knife. Suffolk intimated that
Curzon's act was cowardly. "You
ought to know" he said "that rifles
should not be used on ' bears unless
the emergency Is great" The viceroy
stalked toward him wtth crimsoned
face. "Do you dare call me a cow-
ard T" he demanded. "You're not play-
ing the game said his aid without a
tremor All the official and unofficial
flunkeys gasped but the earl wouldn't
wilt for a brass rupee. Curzon snort-
ed and hastened home alone. Power-
ful influence saved Suffolk from be
ing cashiered.
What a Hand May Mean.
In all my experiences and thoughts
I am conscious of a hand. Whatever
touches me whatever thrills me. Is as
a hand that touches me in the dark
and that touch is my reality. You
might as well say that a sight which
makes you glad or. a blow which
brings the stinging tears to your eyes
is unreal as to say that those impres-
sions are unreal which I have accumu-
lated by means of touch. The delicate
tremble of a butterfly's wings in my
hand the soft petals of violets curling
In the cool folds of their leaves or lift-
in sweetly out of the meadow grass
the clear firm outline of face and
limb the smooth arch or a horses
neck and the velvety touch of his nose
all these and a thousand resultant
combinations which take shape in my
mind constitute my world. Helen
Keller in the Century.

DEADLY PESIGN OF TORPEDO.
Herreshoff Invention Meant
Humanly Naviaated.
to Be
The Herreshcffs of yacht building
fame have invented a torpedo convey-
ing and propelling rysteai which it
successful does away with the 'tor-
pedo boat and reduces the submarine
in its possibilities. The business of
the torpedo boat is to convey the tor-
pedo within striking distance of the
battleship or cruiser and to discharge
the torpedo. The Herreshoffs propose
says Everybody's Magazine to con-
struct a larger torpedo than the pres-
ent standarized Whitehead and to use
it just as a small whaleback boat
woulr; It employed. Two men wearing
life jreservers set out with it from
shore or from large vessels and navi-
gate it within striking distance of the
enemy's craft point it lock the steer-
ing gear slip off into the water and
wait to be picked np. The torpedo
thus launched with far better aim
than from a tube and with a longer
carrying range could scarcely fail to
sink Its victim. As it is now the per-
centage of torpedoes that "arrive" is
but one in twelve. If a man can cross
the North Atlantic in a 16-foot dory
" none more than once two
men should be able to navigate a pneu-
matically sustained Herreshoff torpedo

Worry That Brings Death.
A publication devoted to suggestive
therapeutics telepathy and kindred
Interests maintains that thousands of
people actually think themselves to
death every year by allowing their
minds to dwell on morbid subjects. It
would be more accurate to say that
these persons worry themselves to
death. It Is not thinking. To think
would be to fortify the mind against
morbidity. There seems to be no
doubt that unreasoning and unreason-
able worry has a distinct and perni-
cious effect on mind and body. That
it is practicable to overcome this
cause of trouble Is affirmed by special!
students of psychology but there is
an attraction to some minds in morbid!
melancholy and a disposition to shun
whatever is cheerful and wholesome.

The Decrease in Salt
The latest government statistics
state that the United States produced
18968089 barrels of salt during the
year 1903. This is the smallest output
since 1898 and shows that the use
of salt is decreasing says Success.
This is probably due to the recent dis-
closures of eminent scientists that
people eat too much salt that there is
sufficient natural salt in the water we
drinK in the air we breathe and In
the fruits and vegetables we eat to
supply the human system without
sprinkling it plentifully on every dish.
Many diseases are now traced to tho
use of Ealt.
