His Life Aim Was to Look Like Dickens.
A familiar figure has vanished from
the streets Of Philadelphia. What has
become Of him nobody knows. but he
Is seen in his old haunts no longer. His
name and his family history are I'M
known to the great number of his fell
low-citiZens who knew his quaint face
and figure so well. He was one Of the
army OF imitators that nourished long
ago, who made it their life study to ape
the mannerisms and the style of dress
of the eminent novelist Dickens. Many
years ago, when Dickens came to this
country, there were any number OF men
who were told by their friends that they
greatly resembled the illustrlou" Eng
lishman. The old gentleman wht is the
subject of this sketch was evidently one
of these. lie wore his hair brushed for
ward about his ears and neck: the
beard. shaven on the cheek, remained
always a handful on the chin, joining
the mustache at the Of the
mouth. He wore the stock and tie that
Dickens affected, and he ever made il
a point to assume the keen look which
characterized the great novelist. Now
he has passed away. and he was the last
Of Dickens imitatOrs.

The examination Of many of these blow
guns inspires a great respect for the in
genuity and mechanical skill of the
workers. The North American speci-
mems are from the Chetimachas of
Louisiana, who frequently combine the
tubes in series, forming a compound
blow gun, and the C%herokees Of the

This Wonderful Weapon.
The blow gun Is one OF the most re-
markable savage devices in which COM
pressed air Is used as a motive force.
The blow gun is a simple tube Of cane,
smoothly cleared Of the joint parti-
lions. through which light darts, feath-
cred with a tuft of down or pieces Of
pith, are propelled W the breath. The
blow gun is used for killing birds and
small animals. Frequently the arrows
are poisoned, rendering the light dart
effective on larger game, The chief
merit of the blow gun is its accuracy
and the silence with which 1t may be
employed. The penetration Of the blow
gun dart is greater than would he
imagined. At the distance Of fifty feet

ter of an inch into a pine plank. 1t Is
stated that the range Of the blow gun
among some tribes is from eighty to
100 yards. The blow gun is a tropical
device and may be looked for in
regions where bamboo or cane grows.

Romantic Adventure In Japan of u San
q Francisco Sailor.
Charles Litner Is one Of the luckiest
sailors that ever sailed out of this
port on a sealing schooner. He is going
to be married to one OF the prettiest
girls in Japan. Not only Is she very
pretty. but her parents are very
wealthy. according to the story told by
G. Burdell, says the San Francisco
Examiner. Burdal came up on the
steamer Coptic last week. Speaking Of
young Litner, he said; Charlie is the
20 OF Sebastian Litner, a laborer, who
lives out on Nineteenth venue. He is
an athletic young fellow and has al
ways had an ambition to see the world.
That's why ne shipped on the schooner
lane Grey and went rowing over the
seas in search OF seals and adventure.
While at HakodOta, Japan. a few
months ago Litner happened to be on
one OF the chief thoroughfares one
afternoon when a spirited pony ran
away with a Japanese girl, Miss Siena
kato. Litner saved the girls life by
springing in front Of the runaway and
striking the pony a stunning blow on
the head with a club. The act was re-
garded as one OF rare bravery, and be-
fore we left Japan 1t was announced
that Litner was engaged to marry Miss
Kato. He was hurt in the accident and
was first taken to a hospital, but was
afterward removed to the young lady's
residence at the request of her parents.
The marriage ceremony was to have
taken place two weeks after We sailed.
They are probably married by this
time"
