Origin of the Marine Band.

A naval officer, who hoe the history
of the service at his tongues end, says
that the Marine Band owes its exist
ence to the eccentricities of one Cap.
tain Mcneil, who was gallant if Pc
culiar officer OF The United States
Navy at the beginning of this century.
The story goes that Captain Mcneil,
when in command of the Boston, off
the coast of Sicily, engaged band
belonging to regiment quartered at
Messina to play on his ship, and that
when it was safely aboard he sailed
away with it to America, and 80 the
Marine Band was acquired.
What became OF this band is not
written, but later, just before the
War of 1872, another naval officer of
reckless and venturesome spirit, when
cruising along the coast OF Italy, sent
o boats crew ashore with instructions
to impress band of strolling musicians
as American seamen. This was done,
and the poor stolen Italians were
hfaAddfs66 hhlfaAddfs6h efg1itahd apprecfats the
humor of this escapade and ordered
the musicians returned to their own
country. They were, according ",
placed on man-of-war bound for the
Mediterranean, but on the way out
this vessel met and captured British
warship, and, having to return with
the prize, brought the men back to
New York with he.. This victory.
perhaps, inspired the Italians with an
admiration for the service, for it seems
they abandoned the idea of returning
home, enlisted shortly afterward, and
subsequently, were formed into the
Marine Band. There is no doubt some
truth in this story, although it Is not
much moro than a tradition, for the
early records of the band show on it's
rolls the names of thirteen Italian
musicians. It's personnel today. is al-
most evenly divided between Germans
and Italians, but its leaders have been,
with one exception, Italians or OF
Italian descent. t.-New York Tribune.

A Tribe of Tailed Men.

Nature evidently receives with much
hesitation the story told in SO respect.
able journal ns L'Anthropologic OF
a tribe of tailed men. According to
the story, six years ago, in the course
of visit TO the Indo-Chinese region,
NJ. Paul d'Enioy captured an indivi-
dual of the Moi race, who had climbed
a large tree to gather honey. In
descending he applied the sole OF his
feet to the bark; in fact, he climbed
like q monkey. 10 the surprise OF
the author and his Annamite COM
panions, their prisoner had O caudal
appendage. He conversed with them,
swaggered in his savage pride, and
showed that he was more willy than q
Monaghan, which, rs the author adds,
is, however, o very difficult matter.
NJ. d'Enjoy saw the common dwelling
of the tribe to which this man be-
longed; but the other people had fled.
It consisted of long, narrow, tunnel.
like hut made of dry leaves. Several
polished stones, bamboo pipes, copper
bracelets aud bead necklaces were
found inside; these had doubtless
been obtained from the Annamites of
the frontier. The Moi used barbed
arrows which are anointed with q
black, sirupy, virulent poison. The
tail is not their only popularity. All
the Mois whom NJ. d'Enjoy has seen
in the settlements have very accentu-
ated ankle bones, looking like the
spurs of cock. All the neighboring
nations treat them as brutes, and de-
stroy these remarkable people who,
the author believes, to have occupied

a.E OF HANGING BASKETS fN|5o~E

Be sure to see that suspended plants
get enough water, advises Eben E.
Rexford. Most persons complain that
they "haven't much luck with hang
ing plants" In nine cases out of ten,
the fault is their own. A plant sus-
pended at the height of ones head
above the floor is in stratum OF very
warm air where evaporation will take
place with great rapidity, and unless
water is given frequently and in lib
ersl quantities the soil in pot or
basket will be very dry before you
know it.
The best plan L know of for keeping
the soil in baskets evenly moist is this:
Take q tin can and make small hole
in it's bottom. Fill this with water
and set it on top of the soil in the
basket. By watching development a
little you can tell whether the hole IN
the Gun is too large, too small, or just
the right size. 1t should be of size
to allow enough water to escape to
keep the soil moist all the time. It's
much easier to fill this can daily, or
oftener if necessary. than it is to ap-
ply water to the surface Of the soil and
have enough soak into it to penetrate
all parts OF it. The foliage OF the
plant can be SO arranged about the
Gan as to effectually conceal lt.-NeW

More than seventy-six per cent. OF
those who people New York to-day
were born of foreign mothers; more
than forty per cent. were born on

these aliens, brought from many diff
ferent lands, continue here to live IN
clusters with their own kin after their
own kind. Yet while each of these
clusters, and each of their wandering
off shoots, modiies the new world
metropolis, all of them together do
not destroy its cohesion, they simply
intensity its curious composite sort of
personality. They make it multifar-
iously diverse, but they leave it an en-
tity. They touch every portion of it
with pungent exotic favors, but as
favoring an American whole. They
play their several parts in civic life
