THE DESCENT OF THE EARRINGS.
A History of Commercial Family Ex-
tend ng Through Centuries.

A History of Commercial Family Elk
tend ng Through Centuries.
Two centuries ago there lived at Bre-
men, in Germany, a pastor of the Luth-
eran Church named Franz Barring, or
B8ring, says Spare Moments. In those
days the ministers of his order might be
men of great learning, but their circum-
stances were at the least moderate.
His son, John Barring, went to England
and established himself as clothmak-
er near Exeter, in Devonshire. From
the ranks OF the cloth diapers and the
linen diapers. quite as often as from
among the goldsmiths, the merchants and
bankers were then recruited. John
Baring's son, Francis, born in 1740, was
sent at an early age to learn the cart,
trade and mystery" of a merchant, and
before he died he made himself, by con-
sent, the first merchant IN the world.
He was director in the Honorable
East India Company, then one of the
highest rewards to which a merchant
might hope to attain; Tor time he was
the great company's chairman; for
twenty-five years he sat in Parliament,
then far more exclusive body than it
has become under the extended suf-
frage; in 1898 he was made a baronet;
in 1910 he died. But his first title to
honor is that he founded the house of
Earrings. His sons were the first Bar
ing Brothers.

Religions in the United States.

The census announcement that Their e
are 140 religious bodies in the United
States, exclusive of many independent
congregations, will be received with
some surprise by most people whose
knowledge of different sects does not
embrace more than a dozen or twenty
at the most. In the list, as disclosed
by the preliminary bulletin issued by
the Census Bureau from Washington
are the General-Six-P Principle Baptist,
the Schwerkfeldians, the Theosophical
Society, the Life and Advent Union,
and others which to a majority of the
people will be entirely new. With a
hundred and forty creeds formally
adopted and ''many independent or
CARNATIONS" with their own notions
besides, the talk of those who favor
church union is difficult. indeed. If
only the more numerous denominations
existed the labor of effecting unity
of churches with regard to polity and
the more essen ial doctrines might be
easier, but what shall be said when a
hundred little denominations, sturdy in
their beliefs and customs, are in the
field. lOath to give them up?

influence of the MongOlians on the His
tory of the United States.
The full story of what went on In
roots and stalk, soil and air, before the
bIossoming out of modern Japan says
Literary World, is yet TO be told. Such
a story will be full of elements of thrill
ing interest. Since, however, the pict-
ure is not ready to be painted, we are
thankful for the sketch. Mr.. lnazo
Nitobe, who has won his degrees OF A.
NJ, Phi. d. at Johns Hopkins and Yale,
has written in German an able mono
graph on land tenure and the elevation
of the peasant class of Japan, which
has been translated into French. He
now shows that he can write Engilsh
equally we'll We have here not
only the best piece of English,
probably, vet written by a Japanese,
but also narrative of extraordinary
interest. Composed before Mr.. NitObe' S
visit to Germany, and now revised to
the date of publication, "The Inter
course Between the United States and
Japan" makes a volume of 1913 indexed
pages, numbered VIII of the extra vol
umes in the eighth series of Johns Hop
kins University publications.
A great deal of matter, especially from
the Japanese side, which has never be-
fore been published, is interspersed
here with the more accessible facts con-
corning the opening of Japan. 1.-The
song of the black ship, as the Japan
ese, who sailed in implanted lunks,
called the Western vessels. fifty stands
as the introduction. The first chapter
treats of foreign intercourse before Per
ry, and the dawn of Western knowledge
in Japan. In chapter 2, on Commodore
rraHnpnEEnrS
the stories of the various futile at
tempts, the service rendered by the
whale in Acknowledgements inter
course, and the triumph of Perry are
ably set forth. In his treatment of dl-
plomacy and commerce, the author
very properly pays high tribute to our
first American Minister, Townsend Har-
ris. Most interesting of all, from a
literary point of view, are his analyses,
criticisms, and Judgment of the books
writted on Japan by Europeans and
Americans.

charged with that philosophy which
comes from long knowledge of the best
people, and books of the oldest and
newest civilizations. We observe, by
the way, in the newspapers, that Mr.

married a fellow Christian, daughter
of one of the old Quaker families il

Rats"

No, not the slang phrase, but the
bothersome little rodent. Rats are ma
tives of Asia and their raids westward
belong to comparatively modern times.
The little animal was unknown in
ancient Europe. The black rat first
came to Europe from Asia in the six
teenth century. and about the begin
ming of the seventeenth or the ending
of the sixteenth century he arrived in
America. This black rat was the COM
mon house rat until the brown or gray
rat made his appearance in 17715. The
gray rat came to Europe from India by
way of Russia, and is now known as the
Norway rat from mistaken tradition
that it came from Norway to England,
and from the latter country to America.

A Light for Watches.

A novel electric watch lighter is being
manufactured IN England. 1t resembles
an enlarged open-faced watch case, and
has in its rim a minute incandescent
lamp and reflector On placing the
watch in the case and pressing a small
stud he face of the watch is brilliantly
lighted. A dry battery supplies the
current, and may be placed in closet,
with a flexible conducting cord leading
from it to the head of the bed or stand
on which the watch is placed. The
battery will last for this purpose for
years, and no chemicals are required.

Serious Danger

Threatens every man, woman or child living
in a region of country where fever and ague is
prevalent, since the germs of malarial disease
are inhaled from the air and are swallowed from
the water in such region. Medicinal safe
guard is absolutely necessary to nullify this
danger. As a means of fortifying and accli
mating the system as to be able to resist the
malarial poison. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
incomparably the best and the most popular.
Irregularities OF the stomach, liver and bowels
encourage malaria; but these are speedily recti-
fed by the Bitters. The functions of digestion
and secretion assisted by its use, and Wig
orous well as regular condition of the system
promoted by it. Constitution and physique are
thus defended against the inroads of malaria by
this matchless preventive, which Is Ialso
