The very playthiugs in Japan have
now warlike character. The Japan
Mail says that even the game Of chess
is transformed, the figures being paint
ed clay limoges representing japanese
and Chinese soldiers of various ranks.
A long line Of mechanical toys, either of
tin or wood. by turning a crank, OF by
simple clockwork, are made TO show
Chimes combatants in large variety of
unenviable positions, sometimes pursued
by japanese troopers, who make terrific
sweeps with sword or lance in stately
seesaw, or prisoners, caught by their
cues and trying to avoid the rising and
falling blades. Clay figures representing
Cinnamon pleading for mercy are used
as paper weights or desk ornaments In
another bit Of mechanism japanese
warship is gradually closing with Chi
nese vessel The latter is struck, her
flag comes down with rush, and the
doomed vessel sinks beneath the wild
tin waves. A fortress is shown with
japanese soldiers storning it. A favor
lite bit Of clay modelling represents five
or six Chinese cayalrymon in full flight
through a wood. This is TO be found in
nearly every toyshop. Finally little
pinewood box contains toothpicks, on
each Of which is written some ode. in
almost illegibly microscopic characters,
in praise Of Japan's warriors.

The Plight OF Two wrecisers About the
Bones Of the Old Kearsarxe-

A story Of the manner in which the
hulk Of the historic old Kearsarge. 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 Schwolow Of the schooner
Frank NJ. Noyes. which arrived from
San Andreas with cocoanuts.
On Oct. %. he says. while outward
bound from Baltimore, the Noyes stood
close into the Kearsarge's wreck. To the
surprise Of all on board white flag was
seen futtering from the bones Of the
gallant old corvet. and soon after a
small boat was seen pulling of from
her. Captain Asquini ordered the Noycs
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 Kearsarge ON Aug. l 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 Kearsarge.r In a short
whilo 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 plumber away.
Whom they were landed on the reef,
they had fairly good supply Of provi-
sions. August passed. and with its going
their food and matches went Septem-
Der 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 fish. They had no matches
with which to kindle a fire, although
the Kearsarge offered them her dry tim
bers for the blaze. Neither had they salt
with which to flavor their raw fish. One
of them had piece of sail cloth in his
mouth which, he said, he had been
chewing is days in place of tobacco.
Captain Asquini supplied the men
with all that was necessary to sustain
them for some time to come. They
would not leave he reef, for they did
not want TO abandon their copper treas.

kindness, and to show it they wished K
