Titles Dying Out in France.

Twenty-two vears ago there were 222 bearers of titles in the French Chamber bf Deputies, where now there are but sixty-five. Only three marquises are left out of thirty, while the counts have declined from fiftytwo to fifteen. At this rapid rate of disappearance a few decades more will see almost the entire extinction of titles in the republic.
