AN INTEREsTING SCHEME.

The National Board of Trade, which is now in session in Washington, and at whose meeting the New Haven Chamber of Com merce is represented, will consider g number of very important matters, but none more important than the question how to improve the mercantile marine of this country. Our mercantile marine has been retrograding ever since 1861. until, by the latest official returns, we have a total tom mage of but 4.s35. .4s7, and 1t is generally felt that something must be done to change this condition of things
 The Philadelphia Maritime Exchange has been considering this matter, and it's repre- sentatives, including William Crump, who owns the largest shipyard in the country, have appeared before the special shipping committee of Congress-, and presented a definite scheme which they think may accom- plish the objects aimed at They propose that after January l, 1885, any American built vessel of moro than one thousand tons engaged in the foreign trade shall receive rom the treasury, upon due proof of the voyage compensation of twenty five cents per ton for each one thousand miles run by any steam vessel, and of fifteen cents per ton for each one thousand miles run by sailing vessels. to be measured by the shortest hydro graphic lines between the points embraced in the voyage. In return for this payment the vessels are to carry the United States mails without further compensation. This plan is modelled upon that of France which, however, goes further, and gives bounties both for the building and running of ships. The cost of building American ships is about ten per cent. greater than that of English sailing vessels and fifteen per cent. for steamers It costs fifteen per cent. more to run an American sailing vessel, and twenty five per cent. for steamer. In general, che cost would average twenty per cent more. This difference comes from the higher wages we pay, the better provisions furnished and the extra cost of material. The committee think that with ten per cent. bounty we could afford to run our ships to compete with the English. They think this plan would not cost the government more than $2, 5000, 900 yeer for several years, as it is estimated that the figures named would yield about ten per cent. on the cost of the. vessels, and the value of our tonnage of that deserip- sA"A SS"Ao HUI OO AnoHe@soO AoE 5oAuS years over $25.Oo,000. The bill proposed makes the limit of this bounty January 1, 1900, and the committee said they thought that the period could be shortened to ten years, when, with this aid, our merchant marine will be self-sustaining.
 This is an interesting scheme, though it is open to severe criticism. But it is plain that shipbuilding must be stimulated in some wav if we ere to hold our proper place on the sea. How to do it Is conundrum which is not easily answered.

A curious story about prize ticket in tn Manila lottery was brought to light last month in Shanghai court. Some time ago a poor old Chinese woman found ticket ly- ing on the ground on which was some foreign and Chinese writing. Not being able to read it she showed it to two learned schoolmasters of her acquaintance, who discovered it to be Manila lottery ticket. They subsequently read with delight, which may easily be imag ined, the announcement that the ticket had taken prize of $3, GOO. They cashed the ticket at a shop in Homan road and divided the money between them. The original pur chaser of the ticket who is a gift-button mandarin, then discovered the serious loss he had sustained instituted inquiries at the shop where he had bought the ticket and found out who were the persons who had csshed 1t. In the meantime he had been turned out of firm of which he was a member, his partners having superstitious feeling, arising out of their notions of s'Joss Pidgin," that man who was unlucky enough to lose ticket worth $3, GOO was not one to share their for tunes. The finder of the ticket, her two advisers who divided the spoil with her, and he of the gilt button all appeared at the mixed court, and the case was fully gone into by Chen and Mir. Carles. The defendants admitted having cashed the ticket, and the woman that out'of her share she had bought coffin for $10o and had given $500 to her son to buy a wife with. The court took time to consider it's action.

That the leading Mormons are not yet in a wise frame of mind is indicated by some re- cent remarks of George Q. Cannon to an as- semblage of Latter Day Saints. He said: They talk about legislative commission. Let it come. It could not hurt us. If we are squeezed still more there are others who will get pinched with us. God has permitted the wicked to draw the line so closely that we are compelled to change our relations to the gov ernment. We will survive in the struggle of the Attest. All the threats in Washington do not amount to anything. They are only compliments to us, indicating that our great ness and strength are recognized and even feared. and all the statesmen and politicians are simply contributing to fulfil the prophe- cies of Joseph Smith and furnishing evidence to the divinity of his work.

The Chicago superintendent of schools has wisely directed teachers to employ a mini mum amount of concert recitation, on the ground that it is the most useless and delu- sive manner in which teacher could use the time of her class. He has, moreover, given much advice in the direction of greater sim- plicity and thoroughness in teaching. He lately suggested that teachers should re- duo ethe empahsis they now put upon ''state- ments'' and questions. He disliked, he said to hear teacher ssy, s'Give me statement Now give me question" No formal teaching is desirable on such points. The thing is to get the child to talking freely and naturally. The recognition of these dis functions will come to him soon enough and fully enough if the teacher will but make ordinary use of the terms. as the things themselves are used. He would not formally teach what period, or capital, or comma is. From practice he would have pupils know when they ought to be used, and he would be satisfied with that. Teachers are entirely too eager to get the pupils into large con- plicated work, employing numbers in mill lions when they ought to use tens, thereby adding greatly to the weariness and not at all to the acumen of the pupils. A dozen brief examples are worth far more than one example twelve times as long.

A system, in other words, that will put the people of this ooun- try nearer upon an equality, which will not give monopoly in this vast business to a few men, and put eTerybody else in jail who attempts to compete with them or interferes with their monopoly;a system which will leave it to the States to tax whiskey and tobacco to any extent they think proper, and in that way tighten, as far as possible, the tax on the lands and the stock and other property of the f4rmers and common people of the country.
