It. is well known that the birth rate In is given eogntry is one of the four factors r'eiralating the growth of its population, the other three factors being the death rate, leamigratiun land emigration. It has • also come to be rncoguized in highly civilized .countries that the marriage rate. or relative number of marriages occur- ring b a given year, is a trustworthy Index of the national prosperity. We find some interesting data relating to the marriage rate and birth rate in England during recent years in the Fortnightly Review. The com- piler of these statistics, Mr. John dolt Schooling,, examines the period from 1860 to 1888, and demonstrat- es a remarkable correspondence be- tween the :.uetuattion of the marriage • rate of England auti Wales and the fluctuation in the value of the ex- ports of British produce per head of population. That is to say, if there is a rise in the value of exports, there is a Corresponding increase in the number of persons married per one .tlnousaa:si inhabitants; if there is e. fall in the value of exports, there:' is a decrease in the numter of mar- riages. TF -:o nzatriage rate is appre- ciably less ciably .e. s ....aff e.ted by lila price of wheat or by the value of British im- ports, or by the value of the total. exports and imports of the United Kingdom. While. however, there was a net fall in England's mar- riage rate during 1861 to 1800. this has been followed by a net rise eines:, 1800, notwithstanding the fact that between that date and 1898 there wee a fall in the value of exports every year except 1895 and 1896. :lir. Schooling dales not at- tempt to explain this divergence front the rule, but he would proba- bly describe it as an accident. Are Etigli::lt marriages less prolitle new than they were in former years?

Wlten we bear in rains! that mar- riages in England and Wales are now taking place to the extent of over a quarter of a million yearly, it is obvious that such a decline in the fertility of a marriage as that just mentioned means an immense decrease in the total number of children born of recent marriages, as compared with the marriages of fif- teen years ago. From 3801 to 141)6 there were 2,127.003 marriages in England and Wales; the number children produced or to be produced by these marriages is, approximately 4,215,000. Had these marriages of 1801-1895 been as fertile on the average as the marriages that oc- curred during 1876-1880. the number of children born would have been 4.- 700,000. In other words, there was a loss in England and Wales alone of no fewer than 485,000 children of the marriages contracted during 1891-1895. It is conceded that the decline in the fertility of English marriages during the last fifteen or twenty years may be due in part to the mo- dern tendency to defer marriage to a Iater year of life than the average marriage age in earlier sections of the century, Mr. Schooling, how- ever, does not think this circum- stance sufficient by itself to cause tine very notable loss in marriage fertility during recent years, and he seems inclined to attribute the phe- nomenon to the aggregate effect of individual intentions to restrain the birth of children. If the latter cause be really operative, it is point- ed out that England, but for her low death rate, would be approach- ing the condition of France, where the number of births is insufficient to maintain the native population and needs the help of immigration. The average number of children pro- duced by a modern French marriage is under three. In England the num- ber is now under four, with a mark- ed tendency to become smaller. Dur- ing recent years, indeed, the decline of the birth rate has been more marked in England than even in France. 4 BRANDED F'OR LIFE.

COST NOT EXCESSIVE. The question of cost has not been left out of account. Glass can be made out of almost anything, amen- able to the influence of fire. The stone glass, to which reference has already been made, is manufactured mainly from what have hitherto been regarded .as waste substances. The slag heaps which disfigure mining and iron districts are all convertible into glass. Evidently the days 'of bricks and slates are numbered. Perhaps it might be possible in connection with one of the many projected exhibitions to construct on a modest but seleicient scale a dwel- ling of the kind M. Henrivaux de- scribes. People would then be able to experience the actual sensation of walking along glass floors, of climb- ing alass' staircase of beingsur- rounded by glass walls, of sitting on glass chairs at glass ass tabs s, drink- ing tea out of glass cups and' stir- ring it with glass teaspoons.
