In a democracy the question of a male heir is not so) « werious as abroad, where the law of primogeniture| prevails, There is at present a great scarcity of boy heirs to all European thrones except the Kaiser's.

Queen Wilhelmina ig as yet childless and the Grand Duke of Hesse has no gon. The King of Spain, a delicate youth, was an only son. Also in Denmark among the noble families the) excess of female births over male has become so great| that somo lines are threatened with extinction.

In Russia, where the Czarina has given birth only to daughters, the proportion is 508 males to 492 females. The fact that poor people have more children than the rich is well known. The first authentic statistics to prove the case were gathered by Bertillon, who as the result of ten years’ observations in Norway showed that 100 rich familios had 313 children. 100 middle-class families nad 3 children, 100 poor families had 370 children.
