FIGURES submitted to the French Academy of Sciences show that marriages are on the decline, especially in cities. In Paris there are only 570 Benedicts in every 1,000 men. The birth rate is small, three children being the average number of each family. Voluntary limitation of offspring is traced by statistics to the desire of parents to provide for their progeny. REFERRING to a case we called attention to some time back, the Sydney Bulletin observes: Chief Justice Wrenfordsley, in far West Australia, wants all the globe to know he has been called "a Journeyman Judge," and "goes for "a poor little Western paper for only echoing the now venerable jibe of the big Eastern ones.

The boss mandarin has to holler on deck for three weeks before anybody can find out how to raise the anchor, and when it is raised the vessel drifts on shore and has to be dragged off by 11 Junks.

He has persuaded the Railway Company to prosecute the process server for a misdemeanor in travelling in a first-class carriage while holding a third-class ticket. Ne doubt the action can be successfully maintained. The English Foreign Office repudiates the story of an attempt to form a confederation of the Balkan States.
