The Check in the Growth of France.

The attention of French economy ta has been drawn for several years to the fact that the population of their country is not increasing, but shows rather a tendency in many parts of the country to diminish. The tendency is steadily manifested in several departments to a greater degree than in others, Mid has been maintained with considerable uniformity in those departments where it is most marked. The departments m which the decrease is most observable are . the group in Languedoc and the group in Normandy. Of the live Norman departments only one—that of the Lower Seine—shows an increase, and the increase there is solely due to the attraction of the large towns of Havre and Konen. The tendency of population to gravitate toward the cities at the expense of the rural districts is as marked in France as in other countries, and contributes its quota toward retarding the growth of-the country as a whole; for mankind are less prolific in towns than in the country. A few departments show an increase in population, and these, curiously, are about evenly divided between the richest and tho poorest departments in the nation. The cause of the stationary condition of the population is found, by those who endeavor to account for it, in the evenly comfortable situation of the people. They are contented with things as they are, and avoid having large families, in order to avoid extra exertion and prevent the diminution of their estates that would follow if there were many heirs to divide them among. Every one aims to live and save, so as to leave his children as well off as himself, and a little better off if possible. Hence very few. have more than three children. All the large towns have increased enormously during the present century, at such a rate that, if the population of the whole country had increased at the same rate, France would have 75,000,000 inhabitants, or would have been as densely populated as England. Had it not been, in fact, for the augmentation of the populations of Paris. Lyons, and Marseilles, the population of all France would have actually diminished during the past years. This augmentative population, except as it is of foreign origin, contributes, as we have seen, to the tendency to depletion of the aggregate.

A Belle’s Inspiration.

While speaking of romance aucl beauty, I have an authentic account of how a noted Louisville belle first met her husband, which sounds more like fiction than matter of fact. About thirty-five years ago the landing of a steamboat carrying passengers was considered a social event of some importance, not only because this was the chief mode of travel where navigation made it possible, but because the superb boats that then plied up and down the Mississippi were floating palaces, and carried on board constantly the most brilliant crowds of society people. The time spent on the water was passed in dancing, feasting, and flirting; and on the occasion of which I am speaking an unusually gay and distinguished party were on their way to St. Louis. The party included some of the most famous beaus of the day, and the belle of the trip was a well-known Louisville beauty. . It seems that, notwithstanding the nightly promenades on the moon-flood-ed deck, when “eyes looked love to eyes that spake again,” while the music of the band in attendance floating out on the water added to the magic of the hour, the daily flirtations in snug corners, and the constant propinquity which is said to foster sentiment, the Louisville girl reached her destination fancy free. For, as the boat drew up to tlie landing and the crowd on the shore surged down to the water’s edge to secure a glimpse of the new-comers, ]\li sß , who was leaning over the guards, became absorbed in watching the movements of a gentleman by the gangway; he was tall and elegant-look-ing, and strikingly handsome. Hiss did not know his name, nor if he were benedict or bachelor, but conviction suddenly seized her, and, turning to a companion, she said impressively: “There”—pointing out the gentleman in question—“stands the man whom I will marrv.” In an incredibly short period of time she did marry him; but the cream of the story lies in the fact that he had made a precisely similar remark in regard to her on first beholding the fair Louisvillian as she stood surrounded by her admirers on the steamer. — A Lady in the New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Kauri Forests of New Zealand.

But the Kauri forests are a thing altogether apart; and, alas! indeed of these also we must say that they are rapidly diminishing before the ax of the lumberer. The kauri is the pine tree of New Zealand, the sole representative of the coniferous family, and a very noble representative it is, though by no means answering to our ordinary notions of pine trees, inasmuch as its foliage consists of leaves instead of needles; but it is tall and straight as a mast, and a very majestic mast, for thoso stately trees range from fifteen to fifty feet in girth, and attain a height of from a hundred to two hundred feet ere they commence throwing out the branches which form their crown of somber green. The trees stand close together, forming endless groups and clusters, and long aisles of tall, dark pillars, like marble columns in some wondrous cathedral of giants. For the bark of the kauri is smooth and very dark, and the only relief to the solemnity of these forests is the carpet of luxuriant ferns and the delicate creeping ferns which twine lovingly around the statelv stems of the unbending pines, and‘lend them a touch of fairylike life, more especially when a ray <?f mellow sunlight, gilding their- dainty fronds, seeibs to shine with magic beauty through the dim twilight which prevails even at noon beneath the kauri shade. , A New York dancing master: “I think that the quadrille diagonal, which now being extensively taught by dancing masters is dujtiqed to become Iho mbit popular daneo going.

The Mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law! God bless her! With all her alleged faults we love and honor her. May she control the household of her daughter to her dying day. May she rule the best husband in the land. May she be a godmother to his children. May her paregoric bottle never run dry. 'May she never grow blind to the faults of her son-in-law, and may she continue to chastise his children whenever it suits her own sweet pleasure. The man who has no mother-in-law among his earthly possessions is a rare specimen of humanity. Barnum would seek him at early dawn. It is- a rare occurrence for a husband and father to exist without a mother-in-law. She is always on hand in time of trouble. It is she who lays out the corpse of the dead child, and smooths its little marble brow with her brown and withered hands. It is she who performs these duties when the heart of mother and father fail them. She is a blessing instead of a curse. The mother-in-law! God bless her! May her gray hairs remain with us to the last. May her snuff-box be always full and her tobacco-pouch filled with plenty. May she govern the father, the mother, and'the children. May we respect her likes and her dislikes. May her peevish wants be gratified. Bless her dear old heart, she is not what she is painted. We read of her with laughter and ridicule, but when we meet her kindly face in our own homes, wo love, honor, and respect her. Yes, even obey her. Her days are numbered, Mid we should make happy her declining years. The mother-in-law! God bless her!— Will M. Clemens, in St. Louis Illustrated Magazine.

An Unsteady Island.

Once, during a heavy gale from the east, a party of spongers in an open boat were driven off shore, and so fierce was the hurricane that their only hope was to keep the boat before the wind and run out into the Gulf. For four or five hours the headlong race vtas kept up; but finally the wind abated, and by early morning the sea was as smooth as glass, a peculiarity often noticed there after a gale. They had been carried far out of sight of land, and were wellnigh worn out, when one of the spongers exclaimed that they were nearing shore, and soon the entire party saw a familiar sight that seemed to signify a reef—a flamingo standing motionless in the water. As the boat drew near, the bird raised its graceful neck, straightened up and stretched its wings as if to fly; tliea', seeing that they were not going to molest it, it resumed its position of security. To their astonishment, tho men soon perceived that, instead of resting on a reef, the bird had alighted on a huge leather turtle that was fast asleep upon the water. Indeed, the flamingo was in distress, like themselves, having been blown off shore by the same storm, and it had evidently taken refuge on the sleeping turtle. The men did not attempt to disturb it, and their last view, qs they pulled away to the east, was the flamingo attempting to lift one leg and go to sleep, an act which the undulating motion of the floating turtle rendered well-nigh impossible.— C. F. Holder, in St. -Nicholas.

Solving the Difficulty.

“Will you give me 10 cents for a drink ?” asked a tramp. “Your frankness is so refreshing,” replied tlie gentleman, “that I w ould be glad to accommodate you, but, unfortunately, I have nothing less than a quarter.” “H’m, that is rather embarrassing. You wouldn’t care to give me the quarter, I suppose ?” “Hardly. In fact I have only a quarter in my pocket, and I shall probably want a drink myself before dinner.” “I see,” replied the tramp, “the situation is decidedly complicated. Allow me to think for a moment. Ah, I have it. Just give me the quarter, and we will take a little nip together at my expense.” —Philadelphia Call.

Mutual Courtesy.

“So the jury acquitted you, did they ?” remarked a policeman to a particularly hard case, whom he met on the street, and who had just been tried for burglary. “Yos, I got my rights for once.” “Hows that?” “There happened to be some gentlemen on the jury, for a wonder, so I was tried by a jury of my peers, as the law directs.” “I didn’t know there were twelve such scoundrels as you unhung,” was the uncomplimentary retort of the minion of the law. —Texas Siftings.

A Great Compliment.

Little Jack—“ You never was in the country much, I guess, Mr. Popinjay ?” Popinjay (delighted)—“Do you think so, my little fellow? Well, I have not been in the country for many years, but I used to live there when I was a little boy. You would not believe it, I suppose?” Little Jack —“Dunno about that, but I guess sister would not. I know she thinks you never was in the country at all.” 1 Popinjay (still more delighted)—“Ah! Indeed ?” Little Jack—“ Yes, she said you didn’t even know beans.”—Philadelphia Call. _

It Almost Broke Her Up.

Old Aunt Snkey, an old Austin negress, wab not expected to live. She had been bedridden for some time, and had suffered a great deal. Rev. Whangdoodle Baxter endeavored to comfort her. . “Hab patience, Aunt Sukey, and eberyding will jess come around all right.” T “You has easy talkin’. What I wants ter know is, what I has done to hab all dis sufferin’ put on me. Some ob de meanest folks in Austin dies as easy as a chile, but hit mos’ kills me terjdie.”-p Texas Siftings.

AN ARMY EXPERIENCE.

How on Old Veteran Escaped Annihilation to Impart a Warning to Others. 's (National Trljtrane of Washington.] A pleasing occurrence which has Just come to our notice In connection with the New Tork State meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic is so unusual in many respects that we venture to reproduce It lor the beno;flt of our readers. Capt. Alfred Rensoni, of New York, while pacing In the lobby of the armory, previous to one of the meetings, suddenly stopped and scanned tho face of a gentleman who was in earnest conversation with one of the Grand Army offlters. It seemed to him that he had seen that lace before, partially obscured by the smoke of battle, and yet his bright and pleasant countenance could not. be the same pale and death-like visage which he so dimly remembered. But tho recollection. like Banquo’s ghost, would not “down" at command, and haunted him the entire dny. On the day following be again saw the samo countenance, and ventured to speak ta its owner. The instant the two veterans heard each other's voioes, that Instant they recognized and called each other by name. Their faces and forms htyl changed, but their voices were the same. The man whom Capt. Rensom had recognized was W. K. Sage, of St. Johns, Mich., a veteran of the Twentythird New York Light Artillery, and both members of Burnside s famous expedition to North Carolina. After the first greetings were over, Capt. Rensom said* “It hardly seems possible. Sage, to see you in this condit on, for I thought you must have been dead long ago. ’’ “ Ves, I do not doubt it, for if I am not mistaken, when wo .last met I was occupying a couch in the hospital, a victim of ‘Yellow Jack' in its worst form.” “I remembet. The war seems to have opused more misery since its close than when it was in progress," replied the Captain. “I meet old comrades frequently who are suffering terribly, not so much from old wounds as from the malarial poisons which ruined their constitutions."

“ I think so myself. When the war closed I returned home, and at times I would feel well, but every few weeks that confounded •all-gone’ feeling would come upon me again. My nervous system, which was shattered in the service, failed me entirely, and produced one of the worst possible cases of nervous dyspepsia. Most of the time I had no appetite; then again I would become ravenously hungry, but the minute I sat down to eat I loathed food. My skin was dry and parched, my flesh loose and flabby. I could hold nothing on my stomach for days at a time, an 4 what little I d.d eat failed to assimilate. 1 was easily fatigued, and my mind was depressed; I was cross and irritable, and many a night my heart would pain me so I oould not sleep, and when I did I had horrid dreams and frightful nightmares. Of course, these things came on one by one, each worse than the other. My breath was foul; my tongue was coated, my teeth decayed. I had terridc headaches which would leave my nervous system completely shattered. In fact, my existence, since the war, has been a living death, from which I have often prayed for release.” “Couldn’t the old surgeon do you any good?” “ I wrote him and ho treated me, but, like every ocher doctor, failed. They all said my nerve was gone, and without that to build upon I could not get well. When I was at my worst, piles of the severest nature came upon me. Then my liver gave out, and without the u?e of cathartics 1 could not move my bowels at all. My blood got like a stream of tire and seemed literally to burn me alive." “Well, you mightbeltcr have died In battle, quick and without ceremony." “How many times 1 have wished I had died the day we captured Nowborne!” \“And yet you are now the picture of health." “And the picture is taken from life. lam in perfect condition. My nerve tone is restored; my stomach reinvigorated; my flesh is hard and healthy; tn fact, I have now blood, new energy, and a new lease of life wholly as the result of using Warner's Tippecanoe. This remarkable preparation, whi.h I consider the finest tonic and stomach restorer in the world, has overcome all the evil influences of malaria, all the poison of the army, all traces of dyspepsia, all mal-asslm-ilation of food, and indeed made a new man of me.” The Captain remained silent for a while, evidently musing over his recollections of the past. When he again raised his head he said: “It would be a godsend if all the veterans who have suffered bo Intensely and also all others in the land who are enduring so much misery oould know of your experience, Sage, and the way by which you have been restored." And that is why the above conversation is recounted.

Laws of the Medes and Persians.

In the Scriptures several references are to be found relating to the laws of the Medes and Persians. From the books of Esther and Daniel axe taken the phrases which have become so familiar to Bible and other readers regarding the unchangeableness of the laws Of the Medes and Persians. When the enemies of Daniel were afraid of the popularity of the gifted Jew, they formed a conspiracy against him, obtaining an idolatrous decree, which Daniel was accused of breaking. They pressed the King to sign the decree, saying, “Know, 0 King, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that no decree or statute which the King establisheth may be changed.” (Daniel vi. 15.) We are not to suppose from this that a royal decree was in every sense irrevocable, or beyond the power of modification or repeal; but the words imply that edicts could not be capriciously altered, and that the despot was bound and regulated by past decisions and precedents. The book of Esther shows how a decree, though it could not be reversed, might easily be neutralized.!—lnter Ocean.

It makes every humanitarian sad to see invalids seek such relief as is given them by the use of bitters, kidney medicines, and other nostrums. The his; few doses may make them teel better oa account of it* stupefying ingredients, combined with some strong cathartic and diuretic that are used in its composition, but they eventually grow worse. The only cure for weakness, nervousness, debility, aches, pains, rheumatism, sores, urinary and digestive troubles, is to make the blood rich, lei, and pure, by using Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, a remedy widely indorsed by physician* who have examined into it* composition and effect. “I’ve heard it said," remarked Fenderson, “that a man shouldn't-laugh at his own jokes; I never do.” “Does anybody else'r" asked Fogg.

Figures Won’t Lie.

The figure* showing the enormous yearly sales of Kidney-Wort, demonstrate its value us a medicine beyond dispute. It is a purely vegetable compound of certain roots, leaves, and berries known to have special value In Kidney troubles. Combined With these are remedies acting directly on the Liver and Bowels. It is because of this combined action that Kidney-Wort has jyoved such snunc.jualed remedy in all diseases of these organs. t“~ « Why are we so often bid to take care?
