! The origin of the National Marine
Band at Washington is most curious.
Nearly hundred years ago, alleges the
New York World, Yankee Captain kid
mapped a strolling troop of musicians on
the shores of the Bay of Naples and
brought them to this country. From
this handful of Italians the band was de.
weloped. The descendants of these
stolen Italians are now among the
|wealthiest people of Washington. Some
lof them are prominent lawyers, and
Others have their names connected with
the best-known hotels and the largest
,.real-estate offices in the capital city.

An interesting paper on the depopula-
ton OF France has been read at the
Academy of Medicine by Professor Le
Fort. He argued that the fears expressed
on this subject had been much exagsera-

were lower than those of any European
country; but, on the other hand, the
equilibrium was to some extent re -estab.
slished by the satisfactory state of tho
death statistics.
