Highest of all in Leavening Power,; Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE Japanese Plaything;! Warlike. ; The very playthings in Japan have now a warlike character. .; The Japan Mail says that even the game of chess is transformed, the figures being paint ed clay images representing Japanese and Chinese soldiers of various ranks. A long line of mechanical toys, either of tin or wood, by turning a crank, or by simple clockwork, , are made to show Chinei. combatants in a large variety of unenviable positions, sometimes pursued by Japanese troopers, who make terrifio 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 tater weights or desk ornaments. In anotner die oi mecnamsm a .lapaaase 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 toothpioks, on eaon oi wnicn is written some ouo, in almost illegibly microscopic characters, in praise of Japan's warriors. '": "STAGE GLINTS.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to gether, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced - it inourabie. Science haB proven catarrh to be a con stitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

The Plight of Two Wreckers About tha Bones of the Old Kearsarge. ; A story of the manner in which the hulk of the historio old Eearsarge, now whitening on Roncador reef, is being despoiled by Caribbean sea wreckers, and of the awkard predicament of two of them who were at work upon her, is told by Mate Sohwolow of the schooner Frank M. Noyes, which arrived from San Andreas with cocoanuts. , ' , 1 On Oct. 28, he says, while outward bound from Baltimore, the Noyes stood close into the Kearsarge's wreck. To the surprise of all on board a white flag was seen fluttering from the bones of the gallant old corvet, and soon after a small boat was seen pulling off from her. Captain Asquini ordered the Noyes hove to, and in a few minutes she was boarded by two bearded wreckers who said they belonged to one of the Carmen group of islands. They told Captain As quini they had been landed on the reefs about the Eearsarge on Aug. 1 by a small schooner, which was to call for them in a couple of weeks. As Boon as they had settled themselves they began work on the Eearsarge. In a short while they had secured 600 pounds of copper and about 200 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 and their plunder away. When they were landed on the reef, they had a fairly good supply of provi sions. August passed, and with its going their food and matches went. Septem ber came and went, and Ootober 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 fish. They had Do matches with which to kindle a fire, although the Eearsarge offered thorn her dry tim bers for the blaze. Neither had they salt with which to flavor their raw fish. One of them had a pieoe of sail oloth in his mouth which, he said, he had been chewing 18 days in place of tobacco. Captain Asquini supplied the men with all that was necessary to sustain them for some time to come. Thuy would not leave he reef, for they did not want to abandon their copper treas ure. They appreciated Captain Asquini's kindness, and to show it they wished to return to the wreck and take back to him some mementos of ' the famous oraft. A favoring wind made Captain Asquini decline their offer, and soon the Noyes filled her sails and sped off to ward San Andreas. Baltimore Sun. V ' PERSONAL GOSSIP.'

The Blind Brother Were Born With the Knack of Boat Building. The fame of the Herreshoffs as boat builders extends to all parts of the world. The family is a remarkable one. There are seven brothers, three of whom John, Lewis and Julian are blind. While all are interesting characters the greatest public interest in centered in John and Nathaniel as the builders of the American yacht Defender. ; , They are of German descent, the first of the family being Charles Frederick Herreshoff, who came to this country in 1790 from Germany. His son, also named Charles Frederick, was the fa ther of the present generation. ' When a boy, he occupied his leisure time carv- - JOHN HEBKESHOFF. NAT HERRESHOFF. ing out miniature ships, and when 12 years old built a boat for himself and sailed around - the Narragansett bay. Within two years he built several boats and sold them,' and thus began the Herreshoff fame as boat builders. , The oldest of the 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 boiler which gave the Bristol works a start, in the construc tion of steam launches. . , Charles Brown Herreshoff, the second son, takes , charge of . the Herreshoff homestead on Prudence island, and is a man of some political prominence in Rhode Island. 1 ' : 4 ( i John Brown Herreshoff, who is the oldest of the three blind brothers, is the 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 tling out boats as soon as he could use a jackknife, and when, 14 built a good sized yacht for sailing on Narragansett bay. About this time he was stricken with blindness, but he kept on building boats, with what success the world knows.,; ' . .,','. Lewis Herreshoff, who is also blind, is a musician of some note. - . . Nathaniel ' Greene Herreshoff, or "Captain Nat," who is most widely known as the designer of the Defender, is the mechanical genius of the family. He was graduated from the institute of technology, where he took prizes in physics and mathematics. He was for a number of years employed at the Corliss Engine works in Providence, and at the same time did the designing for the Herreshoff company and modeled most of their sailing and steam yachts. Since 1877 he has given his entire attention to marine engineering and has design ed and built a number of boats whose. speed and weatherly qualities have pro duced a revolution in yacht building. VCaptain Nat" is superintendent and manager of the Herreshoffs' works and owns one-fourth of the stock. ." s ' ; There are two younger brothers, Fran cis and Julian. The former, a graduate of Harvard, has distinguished himself in chemistry, and the latter, who is blind, was educated at the University of Berlin, and has become noted as a mu sician and linguist, being the proprietor of a school of languages and music at Providence. ' , ; ; " THE GEORGE W. CHILDS TOMB. A Mausoleum of Granite and Bronze to Be Erected In a Philadelphia Cemetery. Friends here "of Mrs. " George W. Cbilds, who since the death of her dis tinguished husband has been living chiefly in Washington, learned yesterday that she had given directions for the erection of a magnificent mausoleum in Central Laurel Hill cemetery and that the body of the late Mr. Childs will be placed in it. Mr. Childs' body at pres ent lies near that of his friend, the late Anthony J. Drexel, in the Drexel tomb in Woodlands cemetery. ' ' The mausoleum is to be constructed of granite of a neat design in the coloni al style of architecture. Granite and bronze are the only materials to be used ,in the construction, and the mausoleum is to have no brick lining or lining of other material. The tomb, is to be lo cated along the terrace in the cemetery olose to the Nicetown lane entrance and opposite the cottage of the superintend ent of the cemetery. 1 . The doors of the tomb are now being cast. .They are of solid bronze 7 feet high and 8 feet 8 inches wide. They will be surmounted with a handsomely finished molded cornice. . An oblong grille of finely carved scroll work de sign will ornament each door. The mausoleum will be pierced with a bronzed window fitted in with a circu lar grille 3 feet in diameter in front of the figured cathedral glass. The grille is riohly carved. . ., ' ; , There will be four catacombs in the mausoleum. The bronze plates for them will be handsomely carved and mod eled. Mr. Childs' body will be placed in the mausoleum soon after the tomb shall have been completed. Philadel phia FrodS.J-j J ! , lAbouchere as a Radical. !

London Truth. " . , Francia did not begin painting until nearly 60 years of age and in ten years executed a long series of admirable Works. . . - : Tho Work of the Heart. : One of the most remarkable things about the heart is the amount of work it does.. Considering the organ as a pump whose task -is to deliver a known quantity of blood against a known "head," it is easy to show that in 24 hours a man's heart does about 124 foot tons of work. "In other words, " says a contemporary, ?'if the whole force ex pended by the heart in 24 hours were gathered into one huge stroke, such a power would lift 124 tons one foot from the ground. A similar calculation has been made respecting the amount of work expended by the muscles involved in breathing. In 24 hours these muscles do about 21 foot tons of work." ';, A Mob. ; , . . ; , .. A mob is usually a creature o'f very mysterious existence, particularly in a large city. Where it comes from or whither it goes few men can telL ; As sembling and dispersing with equal sud denness, it is as difficult to follow to its various sources as the sea itself, nor does the parallel stop here, for the ocean is not more fickle and uncertain, more terrible when aroused, more, unreason able.or more cruel.
