The Population of France.

Some interesting details are contained iu the statistical returns of tbe
population in France in 1889 just issued. Tbere was an increase in the
excess of births over deaths, which rose from 44,772 in 1888 to 85,646
last year, but it was due to a large diminution in tbe death rate, tbe
decUne in tbe births bave continued. Tbe number of deatbu fell fiom
837,867 to 794,933, and was the lowest since 1874, when the number also
fell below 800,000. The decrease in the births, which had fallen from
an average of 937,000 in tbe four years (ISSl to 1S84) to 8S2,6."» in 18S8,
was only about 2 000 in 1889, the number being 880,579. It may be
remarked that nearly the whole of tbe deficit was in tbe illegitimate
births, while during the last ten years the movement had been in an
opposite direction. Comparing the year 18")9 with 1880, the legitimate
binbs feU from 866,980 to 807,008, the illegitimate rose
from 70,079 to 73,571. Tbe marriages again declined, and were
only 272,934, as against 276 848 in 18S8 and 289,555 in 1885.
Divorces, on tbe other hand, increased, and tbe number of 4,786 was the
highest yet attained, even higher than the first complete year after divorce
was established in France, which was at the end of 1884, ard when there was
a rush to take advantage of the new law. Tbe divorces fell below o,000 m
1886, but faave since steadily increased. The average duration of the mar¬
riages dissolved bas descended from sixteen to twelve years. vSeparate
returns are given of the foreign population in France. Tbe births in that
department show a large surplus over deaths, 8,245 to 8>^. nearly the whole
of wbich was due to Belgians and Italians. The English biribs were only
394, against 637 deaths. The increase ;n the latter probably arose from
the number of EngUsb visitors to tbe Exhibition. The number of English
marriages was 261, or 140 men and 121 women. Tbe 140 men marriea 84
French women and only 19 of their own countrywomen; the latter took 78
French hnsbands, of the total of 121. The number of Frenchwomen who
lost their nationiUity by marriage with foreigners was 4,606, while the
number of foreign women who became French by marriage was only 8,541.
