Reduce Taxes for inve Children, From the Medical Brief. A Paris correspondent gives the following t statistics of the birth rate de- in France: The constant decrease in the population, which is due to a corre- spending decrease ia the number of births, cor tinues to attract the attention of econo- mists and legislators. In regard to Paris Dr. Bertillon of anthropometric fame, has stated that for ove thousand women from fifteen to twenty years old there were: 1. In the very rich districts (quarter of the Elysee), thirty-four births. 2. In the very rich districts, fifty-three births. 3. In the rich districts, sixty-five births. 4. In districts of comfurtable means, sev- enty-two births. 5. In poor districts, ninety-five births. 6. In very poor districts, one hundred and eight births. signifi roposed ‘The same proportion exists in other large would it prove cities. “The conclusion is that voluntary restriction is practiced by rich people to evade the prescriptions of the civil code on the equality of inheritance. In other words, the rich people do not relish the ‘idea of having their wordly goods divided among heirs after their aeath. : Considering the question of another point of view and without mentioning the evils which result from the military service, it is interesting to examine by groups the actual population of France. According to Dr. Beruillon these groups are divided as fol- lows: Bachelors over thirty years old, 1,376,591. Families without children, 1,848,572. Families having one child, 2,639,804. Families having two children, 2,364,; Families having three children, 1,585,960. ey having more than three children, The National Alliance, having for object the increase of the French population, Ie of the opinion that the number of children would increase if taxation was reduced in preportion with this number of children. pl remedy is ‘sim, cory simple, byt 2 broad and spacious windows of the well known establishment of Perry's, Pennsyl- vania avenue and {th street. From the glimpse which the hurried Christmas shop- per is able to give before passing into the store, it is concluded that the feature of the holiday offerings of this establishment may be expressed in the words sensible and useful. The patrons of this establishment are convinced that they are sure of two things, that the qualities are all right and prices the lowest. For this reason they think it is a good place to do the “hurry buying,” which nearly everybody finds necessary in the excitement of the Christ- mas rush. Whether a man is looking for something that will be useful to as well as appre- clated by his wife, or his sweetheart, or a woman, is trying to make those that are near and dear to her happy on Christmas morning, both may find at Perry’s what will suit their taste as well what will come within the range of their pocket books. Some of the articles which may be enum- erated are handkerchiefs, fans, fancy bas- kets, leather goods, umbrellas, furnishings for men, bed wear, linings, jewelry, silver novelties, stationery, laces, silks, velvets, dress goods, hosiery, gloves, furs, suits and wraps. Then there may also be found wrappers, tea gowns, underwear, flannel, infants’ wearables, aprons, embroideries, domestics, upholsteries, perfymery, fancy novelties, toilet articles, etc. — The Saturday Star letters. ly no other equal period in English His- tory has been marked by such activity in Mr. Shorter was well qualified for such a task, for his previous critical work in this field has marked) bimias one writer among very many in point of his thor- oughness of treatment>“*Vittorian Litera- ture” is not intended 48%eithtr bibliograph- ical or critical.

Henry Hudson, Professor of English Literature, Stan- ford University. San Francisco: Wm. Doxey. Prof. Hudson, whose writings on Shake- speare’s works have caused him to be very widely known, has here collected four pa- pers under this attractive title. The first is “London Life in Shakespeare's Time,” originally delivered as a lecture. It gives a comprehensive view of the British capi- tal at a time when literature was receiv- ing a notable impulse. “Pepys and His Diary” follows, for the first time printed, together with “A Glimpse of Bohemia,” where dwell the! cosmopolitan miscel- that gay capital’: The fourth paper deals. with PStwo ‘Novelists of the English "—Mre. Behn and Mrs. Manley. ‘The volume fs written of chance. The order created considerable surprise, and affects several raffles now under way. For years the practice of rafiling articles has beer practiced at the departments, and while it is against the law, the authorities have winked at it. It is the intention of the pension office authorities to strictly en- ferce the order. Holiday Display. In its holiday garb the !arge establish- ment of S. Kann, Sons & Company, Market Space and Sth street, suggests the spirit of the holiday season, which is that of good cheer. An effective plan of decoration has been adopted, consisting in part of numer- ous arches and of Christmas greens. ‘There is a touch of color given by the Japanese lanterns, which are suspended in various parts of the store, and at night these are lighted by incandescent lamps. The entire establishment is brilliantly illuminated by means of these electric lights. While the surroundings are pleasant for people who have Christmas shopping to do, it ts not forgotten that the average buyer wants tc be assisted in determining the vexed ques- tion of what to buy. Here may be found many practical and helpful suggestions. There is a full line of toys, and then toilet articles and perfumery sets, and dress goods and fancy aprons. For men there is a .there is an attractive display ery, ribbons, cloaks, wraps, furs and In the millinery department a great useful presents may be found, while manicure sets, work boxes, pictures, linen, fancy scarfs, jewelry, leather have heard him address me as “Miss,” and essuming much dignity, I told him I was the lawyer vhom the sheriff had promised to send him. For answer he exclaimed, “Well, I'll be d—d,” and burst out laugh- ing--laughing uproariously. I was irritated te a degree by this reception. “I beg par- don, judge; it’s a go. You do look pretty young, but Tom (the sheriff) says you are a dais: Get me out,of here and mJ folks, who've got plenty, will pay you well for your trouble. : He told me his story. He was a skilled mechanic from Keokuk, Icwa, and had been employed by the government in construct- ing a lock on the Mussel Shoals canal, near Florence. He had shot the physician in charge at those works. The physician was a brother of the United States engineer in control of the canal corstruction, and it was evident that the prosecution would be bitter, sparing no pains or expense to se- cure a conviction, entailing a long peniten- tiary sentence. The doctor and my client were both men of reckless courage and everbearing temper, both sometimes looked on the wine when it was ted, and bota, I inferred, were striving for the favor of the sume woman. A clash between them soon came. They had a savage quarrel at their boarding house at dinner. The doctor being armed and my client unarmed, the latter had to submit to unlimited abuse, and would have been shot but for the inter- ference of several men who were present. tering, he found the doctor putting on a shirt and thus for the moment disabled, a “You had the drop on me Was the way he usually signed’ his ut he never reflected that to sign it this time was to afford the strong- est evidence of the falsity of the affidavit. Arguing the case without looking at ihe affidavit, I didn’t see how he had signed it; but the state’s attorney had noticed the Signature, and in his reply called the court's attention to it. This disclosure raised a storm of laughter and jeering in the court reom. I was confounded and at the end of my resources. Not so was “Patsy.” Real- izing his peril, that the slip was his own, and that he alone could retrieve it, he spoke out, not a whit abashed: “Patsy” out of pure respect for your honor. It's not for me to g! the lie to your hon- er’s court papers, Your honor's court pa- pers say I'm ‘Patsy,’ and I'll sign it ‘Patsy’ until your honor gives me leave to write my own true name.” The cour: sustained the motion from pure admiration for “Patsy.” We now had time to look apes Shag nal months later the case was tri the jury failing to agree. The bail bond, which had boon Snel ata high figure, was then reduced to a reason- able sum. He gave the bond, saying he had “lost by a nose,” but he never re- turned to stand another trial, although his bondsmen were promptiy reimbursed, and the writer was generously remembered, re- ceiving, as I now remember, $300. I have often been curious to know what became of the gay, rollicking, imperturbable “Pat- sy.”
