The present custom of raising flags
TO half mast as an emblem of pub
mourning is curious one. Unques-
tionably the original custom was to
lower flags st forts and military sta
tons as a sign of public grief. The
flag is supposed to be ordinarily flying
from the masthead at such places.
This is the sign of security, posses
sion, and, in time Of war, of defiance.
It is always an emblem of satisfac
ton, and sometimes of joy and tri-
umph. It was then fitting that in
recognition of public sorrow the flag
should be partly lowered. But suck
Is not the existing CUSTOM. Now on
the death of a public man all haste is
made to run up flag to half mast on
every available flagstaff, though, but
for such death, the staff would per
haps have remained fagless fer
months. The effect is to give city q
far more festive air than it would
have worn had no such death oc-
Cured. This is 8 curious evidence OF
the gradual perversion Of Q custom.
But one phase of the new develop
ment deserves positive reprobation.
That is the flying of business banners
at half mast.

Of the merchant navies Of the world,
which has just been published in
France, shows that great Britain pos
sesses %, 500 trading vessels, with an
aggregate tonnage of II, 200, 600 tons.
Of these vessels 4, $50 are steamers,
with tonnage of 5,919, 900 tons. or
rather more than one half the grand
total of burden. The United States
makes very bad second, with $500
sail and !, 100000 tons. Norway has
1900 vessels, with 1, 500, 900 tons, and
Germany, which comes Immediately
after her, has 5000 sail, with total
of /, 100000 tons; France, Italy and
Russia bring up the rear, each with
less than 5000 vessels. The proper
ton of steamers is, however, of great
er importance than the total number
of ships engaged IN trade, and in this
regard France stands second, although
she has but AS steamers, of 667, 600
tons in all, to Englaad's 4,6z9. Ger
many presses her closely with 42O
