113' Dr. Bertillon, Chief of the
Municipal Statistic Department, of Par-
is, in view of the alarming state of
the population of France, as shown by
the recently published census, is die-
cussing a curious proposal from BI. BIe
line, the French Premier, with a view
to coercing parents to increase their
families. The plus proposes that Gov-
ernment scholarships in schools and ae-
ademies shall only be given in the case
of families of not less than three liv-
In g children, anti. that all Government
posts, unless requiring special qualifi-
cations, or favours, like tobacco licens-
es, concessions in the colonies, etc„
etc., shall be similarly given, and that
promotion and allowances be regulat-
ed according to the number of chil-
dren. Tho proposal i9 meeting with

Germany, in 184I, it appears, had
about he same• population as Prance;
but to -day she is credited with having
14,000,000 of inhabitants more than
France. Then, again, during the last
five years, he population of Germany
has increased by 3,000,000, while that of
France, in the sante period, has only
increased about 175,00. Finally, it is
shown that in 1873 the number of young
men on the lists for military service
was about the same in Germany and
France, whereas to -day the number of
German conscripts is 450,000, while the
Trench conscripts only number 330,000.
