Had a Mantel of Malachite

Baron Rothschild was entertaining at
dinner a distinguished party. The dinner
went on admirably. Nothing marred the
general enjoyment save the silly ioQuacity
of one young man..
This young man insisted on r~nonopoliz-
ing the conversation. He insisted on talk
ing about himself-about his books. his
work, his love affairs. his automobile.
Finally he jumped to his feet.

my new cuff buttons. I got them this
morning. They are ralachite."
And he passed from one guest to the
other. exhibiting the buttons.
"Malachite." he kept repeating. Gen

Baron Rotchscffld watched the young

the buttons reached him he touched them
with his finger supercil!cusiy and dra wled:

Quarrel of the Humorists.

Soon after Sir Francis E. Eurnand be-
came the editor of Punch he published .
skit on George Augustus Sala. which clev-
erly burIespued his methods and manner.
Sala was connected with the London H.
lustrafed News. As he was distinguished
alike fer lluffineSs and for geni5,lity. there
was much talk about how he would take
the joke.
One evening Sala and Burnand met at
the BeefsteaK Club. and Sa!a. to the min
gled Consideration and amusement OF the
gallery. referred with Indignation to the
article.
IF l were younger he said. I'd pull

A peacemaker interviewed. to whom Bur-
nand remarked that personally he did not
think this or any matter in Journalism

felt so aggrisved he could take the matter
into his own hands.

grows with vondrous rapidity. The
country hourishes. Its products are
sent to the ends OF the earth. Yet al
ways the Mortified cry that they do
not so in American bottoms. Let
comfort be taken from the circum-
stance that they go.
If to build ships would be a profit
able investment for American capital
there is no law against the building.
There is plenty of money available.
II there is more profit in hiring car
riages than in owning the vehicles no
great disaster appears in the act of
hiring. The man who has the ship
may have nothing TO put in it. He
depends upon his neighbor for cargo.
The neigh50r is satisfied. and the
shipowner is satisfied They have
found q method OF cooperation that
insures dividends for both.
Assuming that American capital
does not choose to 90 into shipbuild-
ing, it is at liberty to go elsewhere.
If it can do better By deyoting itself
to manufacturing from raw material
finished article with which to fiji
the hold Of the foreign vessel. surely
there is no loss to be deplored.
In the minds of many people an
American marine means craft. not
only flying the American flag. but
manned by Americans. The facts do
not agree with this view. The young
American does not go to sea. He will
not endure the dogs life that is his
portion there. No beast toiIiDg in
harness is subjected to hardshfDs 50
Wanton and brutal as fail to the lot

ships on the Atlantic would have
alien crews, made up Of Norsemen.
French, Germans, in fact. of anv ma
tionality but American. On the Pa
cific they would he manned by Las
cars, japanese, and tie riff-raf of the
Orient generally.
While the capitalist of this country
bemoans the decay Of the merchant
marine, if te really thinks the decay
should be arrested the matter is his
for treatment He is at liberty to
build all the ships he wants. If the
investment would pay he ought not
to seek to be bribed to undertake it.
and If it would not pay, it would be
foolish to bride him to undertake it.
Meanwhile the ships belong to
somebody else. but the goods they are
transporting season after season be-
long 70 Americans. After they have
paid the freight there is a tidy bal
ance left.
Ashore a man ships his steers to
market and pays a railroad the regu-
