ACurious Record.

One of the most curious statistical records
that has been compiled this century is that by
Dr.. Salzmann, of Esslin, Wurtemburg, on the
average duration OF life among physicians.
He found in going over the ancient records of
the kingdom that in the sixteenth century the
average duration of life among that class was
but 36.5 years; in the seventeenth century,
ass; in the eighteenth century. 1913, and at
the present time they reach the favorable
average of 56.7. 1t appears from the foot
notes 10 the above that this very great increase
in longevity is due to the disappearance of
the "black pest, the in reduction of vaccina-
ton, and great diminution in the number OF
typhus epidemics. three classes of diseases
which formerly decimated the medical prac-
titioaers.

The return of people who spend only the
Congressional season in Washington has given
a decided impetus to the National Lyceum
course. and it will be only a short time before
the sale of the course tickets at 81. 80 will be
shut off entirely. The single seat sale for the
Damrosch lecture will begin November 2G.
This is the best entertainment in the series
from one view point. Those who do not get
on the subscription list will pay almost as
much to hear Mr. Damrosch alone as they
would have paid for all ten entertainments,
including Damrosch.
The National Lyceum Bureau will bring
other attractions to Washington this winter,
and it is working up a Southern tour for sew
eral company. The Geraldine Morgan Con-
cert Company. Juanito Manen. the Spaniard

has established here in fact what Washington
has needed for many years--a booking place
for concert and lecture companies. through
which local talent can reach the outer amuse-
meBt world, and foreign talent can obtain en-
gagements here for public entertainments or
private recitals.

The announcement that "Pawn Ticket 210''
Is to be produced at Buffers New Bijou
Theater this week with cast headed by Amy
Lee, Frank Doane, and P. Aug. Anderson
will be received with delight by theater-
goers, for the reason that this comedy drama
is one of the most interesting and notable that
has ever emanated from the pen of American
authors. The story of Pawn Ticket 2l0" is
Of particularly interesting construction, being
OF such a nature that the audience is carried
from the opening to the close through so
much wit and humor, interspersed with scenes
OF pathos and climaxes that are thrilling. that
the interest never flags. The play is an
adaptation Of the novel Court Royal, which
tells the story Of the want and trials of a
mother, who was obliged to pawn her baby
with Jew pawnbroRer, known to be mean
and miserly He grows fond of the pledge
Mag and as time rolls on he obtains the
promise OF her hand in marriage, the event to
occur when she becomes of age. just as they
are to be welded the mother turns up with
Pawn Ticket 210' to redeem her child. who
turns out to be an heiress. This is, perhaps,
the most thrilling of the many climaxes, but
one of the most pathetic incidents is the death
of Uncle Harris.
