A SKYSCRAPER IN JAPAN.
lilo First Structure Over Three Stories
High Ever Erected on the Orient.
Plans have been drawn and specifi-
mtions written for the first steel sky-
scraper in Japan.- It is to be erected
to Tokio near the residence of the
present American Minister to Japan.
The work was awarded to W. J.
Send, an architect.of South Dakota,
who, immediately upon receiving the
contract, packed up his goods and de-
serted for the Land of the Rising Sun
,0 carry it out.
in a land of seismic disturbances like
Xapan, where simoons, earthquakes,
and tornadoes are common occurrenc-
* as. at certain seasons of the year, it has
never been thought practical to erect
(. tall building. The one or two story
saline of straw, or earth, or of wood
has. considered the best architectural
.E'eat that could be accomplished.
This new building will be supplied
with steam engines, electric generators,
steam boilers, electric wires, steam
heat, pumps, drums, water supply,
and elevators.
This building will be the first struc-
ture over three stories high that has
ever been erected in the Orient. Years
ago, when the market for Japanese
ware opened in the. United States, an
attempt was made by English capital-
ist.» to put up an office building Which
:Ihuld be the center of commerce.
S< grcely had the foundation walls been
3-: up, though, before a Japanese
bake" came and it cracked from top
It > bottom, showing what would be the
late of a building put up on such a
foundation.
This new building. to guard against
{hat trouble, will have a structure of
steel laid lZpOl'l a solid stone
foundation. This steel framework
will be carried up to the full
height of the ' building. The
doors will be laid upon it so that the
entire support will be of the Steel.
In the top of this new building the
Tapanese weather bureau will be loca—
zed This weather bureau is the finest
in the world. For years it has fore»
casted storms so accurately that it has
served as a. sole guide of the shipping
ports of Japan. But the bureau has
worked under disadvantages. It has
been obliged to take its observations
ifl'Ol'll steeples, from the masts 0t
steamers, and from the kites of fisher-
men. At a certain height a kite will
show an adverse current of wind, and
the weather prophets of Japan have
often been forced to this rude method
of obtaining overhead information.
The prices to be charged for the of-
fines seem too small to be believed. A
dollar a week will pay for a nice one,
and you will be able to get desk room
for $1 a month. A whole floor will be
rented for a small sum, and probably
the whole building could be leased for
what you would pay for a single office
in this city. But in the estimate of
profits you must remember that land
rent is almost. nothing at all, and that
the labor to run the building can be
obtained for 5 cents a day of Ameri-
can money. So there is profit in it,

VOLUBILITY PAYS.
Eminent English Physician Says It Coa-
duces to Longevity.
Talk as much as you can. This is
the theory of an eminent English doc-
tor, because talking is the best possible
way in which to exercise the lungs.
The man who talks much, the little
child who shouts all day in glee over
trivial amusements, the young woman
sting-bird who makes herself obnoxious
to the other tenants of a flat house, the
tat man who laughs vociferously un-
til his sides tremble, the maid who
sighs and the woman who weeps as it
be? heart would break, the bored indi-
vidual who yawns in church when
the sermon is dull, all do so in
response to an inward demand for the
expulsion of a certain nervous energy
which would find vent in no other way.
Talking is not only good erercise for
the mind, but for the body as well. In
fact, persons who do much talking in
their business or profession, such as
lawyers, and auctioneers can dispense
with other exercise. For in talking
they not only expend much neuro mus-
cular energy, but they experience act—
five respiratory movements. There-
iorc, much talking is conducive to
longevity. It is also beneficial in heart
disease.
Curious Cotillion Favors.
Some curious favors were used in a
cotillion at a recent swell affair in
London—the presentation of live pets
to the dancers. These comprised ca-
naries in gilded cages, maltese and An-
gora cats in silk—lined baskets, and a1-
so tiny terriers in small wicker recep—
tacles. These were given to the wo-
men, while themen received jointed
fishing rods tied with satin ribbons, X-
say skeletons, celluloid skulls, small
cameras, and shaving mirrors.
Rurivald Kipling's Advice.
A New Zealand author recently ap-
plied to Mr; Kipling for advice, and re-
ceived the following note, which,, he
says, he considered “encouragifi'g:”
"No man’s advice is of the least bene—
fit in our business‘(and I am a very
busy man). Keep on trying till you
either fail or succeed."
Richard Harding Davis, according to
the Philadelphia North’American, was
employed on a local paper in a repor-
torial capacity some years ago. One
‘day an extremely fresh young man
joined the staff, and in three days he
was addressing every man on the staff
by his first name. That is, everybody
but Davis. He entered the local room
one afternoon where Davis was seated,
and, slapping him familiarly on the
shoulder. said: ”Hello Davis! Say,
what is your first name, anyhow?”
.‘“Mister," replied Davis, quietly.

How Fifty Thousand Lives
Were Lost That Might
Have Been Saved.
More than a hundred thousand die
annually of consumption in the. United
States, and a careful classification has
revealed the startling fact that fully
fifty thousand of these cases are caused
bycatarrh in the ,head, and had no
known connection with hereditary
Ctl'ciL'E. A large share of these cases
might have been cured. Many of
those afflicted with this terrible dis-
ease were in the morning of life, and
their young hearts, now cold in con-
sumptivc’s grave, struggled hard
against the enemy that laid them low.
(fate r h is a discharge of fluid form the
Sclnieiderian membrane, which lines
the nasal fossae and extends to the
diliereut cavities connecting with the
nose. Symptoms of this disease are
as follows: In most cases, after a ,suc-
cession of colds, there is noticed an
increased discharge. from the nose. and
especially into the throat during the
night, and there may be at first, or if
not. there is sooner or later, more or
less pain experienced in the nose, fore-
head, checks and eyes. Generally, if
the disease be not arrested, the dis-
charge becomes ofi'ensive, the sense of
Smell is. gi'aflually impaired, and in
some cases finally lost; thecpain in the
forehead increases, or beecmes more
constant and distressing, the eyes be-
come weak, watery and painful; the
sight becomes more or less impaired; a
constant hav. king or spitting becomes
necessary to clean the throat, a trouble-
some cough supervenes, and if the dis-
ease continues, perhaps deafness, dizzi-
ness and various other unpleasant
symptoms are liable to arise.
At any stage in this disease Califor-
nia Catarrh Cure .will arrest its pro
gross and effecting positive and perma-
nent cure, save the sufferer from a con-
sumptive’s grave. it is the new anti-
septic treatment by the only scientific
method, is safe, sure, and immediately
effective. Its success is proved by hun-
dreds of cures in Norwalk. Sold by all

GAME RECORD OF THE KAISER.
A Fine Score for a Hunter Who Can Use
Only One Arm in Shooting.
In view of the fact that the kaiser’s
left a‘m is withered and useless, his
record of 33,967 head of game killed
with his own hand during the last two
decades is a remarkable one. It is
contained in his game book, which has
recently been published for private
circulation among the royal personages
and court circles of Europe. Compris-
ed in this total are some “pieces”
which do not fall to the lot of every
sportsman. Thus there are a. couple
of so—called “aurochsen,” a species of
bison that is still to be found in cer-
tain remote districts of Europe. It
was exceedingly plentiful a thousand
years ago, but is now almost entirely
Extinct. Then there are 2,175 wild
boars. sixteen thousand hares, seven
elk shot in Sweden, three reindeer kill-
ed in Norway and half a dozen bears,
three of which were laid 10w in Rus-
sia and the others in Hungary. Stags
figure for 1,289, pheasants at 9,643,
while the emperor has only managed
to bag three snipes. The record of
121 Chamois is distinctly good when
it is remembered what an exceedingly
difficult game this is to shoot, entail-
ing, as it does, mountaineering of the
most arduous and perilous character.
It must be borne in mind in ‘connec-
tion with this game book that the kai-
ser cannot use his left- arm to sup- '1

obliged to rest his weapon upon the
shouldercor arm of the keeper or load-
er who attends him on these expedic
hens. and to shoot with a light rifle or
towliug piece, specially constructed for
him—New York Tribune.
A \Vomau Elevator Itoy.
Mrs. Caroline Morse runs the Custom
House elevator in San Francisco, Cal.
She is the widow of a sailor, and she
sales for and educates her family by
means of her work. She was appoint-
ed under President Harrison's Admin-
isrration, and was deposed during
Cleveland's last term, but San Fran-
cisco demanded her reinstatement a
once—New York World. -
Bank Cashier Forced to Resign.
New York. Feb. 3.—-It was announced
yesterday that William J. Quinlan, Jr.,'
cashier of the Chemical Bank, had
handed in his resignation under un-
common circumstances. In his letter
at reexgnation, Quinlan said he had
employed methods that were not right
to conceal from the directors, and that
he had made loans aggregating $393,000
on his own responsibility and without
consultation with President Williams.
