Japanese Playthings Warlike.
The very pluythings in Jupau have
now a wurlike character. The Japan
Mail Hays that even the game of cheHS
ia traimforruod, the figures being paint
ed clay imaged representing Japanese
and Chinese soldiers of varions ranks.
A long line of mechanical toys, either of
tin or wood, by turning a crank, or by
simple clockwork, are made to show
Chinet combatants in a large variety of
unenviable positions, somotiuics pursued
by Japanese troopers, who make terriflo
sweeps with sword or lance in a stately
seesaw, or prisoners, caught by their
cues and trying to avoid the rising and
falling blades. Clay figures representing
Chinamen pleading for mercy are used
as paper weights or desk ornaments. In
another bit of mechanism a Japanese
warship is gradually closing with a Chi
nese vessel The latter is struck, her
flag comes down with a rush, and the
doomed vessel sinks beneath the wild
tin waves. A fortress is shown with
Japanese soldiers storming it A favor
ite bit of clay modeling represents five
or six Chinese cavalrymen in full flight
through a wood. This is to be found in
nearly every toyshop. Finally a little
pinewood box contains toothpicks, on
eaob of which is written some ode, in
almost illegibly microscopio characters,
in praise of Japan's warriors.

ABANDONED ON RONCADOR.
Ths rilglit of Two Wreckers About ths

whitening on Koncador reel, is Deing

aud of the awkard predicament of two

told by Mate Sohwolow of the schooner
Frank M. Noyes, whicli arrived from
San Androas with cocoaiiuts.
On Out. 28. he savs. while outward
bound from Baltimore, the Noyes stood
closu into the Kearsargo's wreck. To the
surprise of all onboard a white flag was.

gallant old oorvet, aud soon after a
small boat was soon palling off from
her. Captain Asquiui ordered the Noyes

LnnrriAd hv two bearded wreckers who
said they belonged to one of the Carmen
group of islands. They told Captain As-
quini they had boen lancieu on ine mom
ahont the Kearsargo on Aug. 1 by a
small schooner, which was to call for
them in a couple of weeks. As soon as
they had settled themselves they began
work on the Kearearge. In a short
while they had secured 000 pounds of
copper and about 300 pounds of copper
bolts. This was all of value they could
secure, so they settled down to wait for
the schooner that was to take them ana
their plunder away.
When they were landed on me reei,
they had a fairly good supply of provi
sions. August passed, and with its going
their food and matches wont. Septem
ber came and went, and October had al
most gone when the Noyes was sighted
and in a measure ended their distress.
For nearly two months the two men had
lived on raw flBh. They had no matches
with which to kindle a fire, oltliougn
the Kuarsnrge offerod thorn her dry tiin
Ws for the blaze. Neither had they salt
with which to flavor their raw fish. One
of them bad a piece of sail cloth In his
month which, he said, he bad been
chewing 18 days in place of tobacco.
Captain Asquinl supplied tne men
with all that was necessary to sustain
them for some time to come. They
would not loave he reef, for they did
not want to abandon their copper treas
ure. They appreciated Captain Asquini's
kindness, aud to snow 11 iney wisucu iu

Within two years ho built several boats
and sold them, and thus began the
Horreshoff fame as boat builders.
The oldest of tbo present generation is
James Brown Herreshoff, a graduate of
Brown university, who now lives in
California. He is an authority in me
chanical engineering, and it was he who
first proposed the coil boilor which gavo

Rhode Island.
John Brown Herreshoff, who is tho
oldest of the three blind brothors, is tho
business head of the works at Bristol,
and with his brother Nat shares the dis
tinction of having produced many of
the fastest boats afloat. He began whit
