CHINESE AND JAPAN
ESE AS SAILORS

In spite of the agitation against the en-
pioyment of Chinese as sailors upon for
eign ships. and Notwithstanding the in
clination of foreign underwriters to in
sist upon foreign officers for Chinese and
japanese vessels, the present tendency
IS toward the employment of increased
number of sailors and officers from
Asiatic peoples.
1t is a notable fact thai the EMPLOY
iaent Of Chinese sailors on foreign ships
Is coming to be not merely a matter OF
primary economy, which is not always
the case, but Is also one of efficiency.
The signing of CHR cse as sailors Is meas
ured to some extent by the returns OF
shipment Of seamen in Hongkong harbor
the port in the Far East from which
most Chinese sailors serving in foreign
ships originally come.
With reference only to American, Brit
'sh, and European vessels entered at the
port of Hongkong, the harbor masters
report for 1903 showed that 81 per cent.
Of the crews of such vessels in that year
We're Asiatics; in 1909, the report gave
The Asiatic percentage az 50: and In 1910,
Understanding the increasing number
CT specially equipped passenger ships with
picked crews calling at Hongkong, nearly
SIS per cent, of the crews were Asiatics.
There is a growing disposition on the
part Of ship owners and officers In vari-
GUS parts of the world to send to China
Ior complete crews, Several British ships
touching at American and Canadian ports
have recently been furnished with crews
from Hongkons, Similar crews have be-n
sent to Europe and Australia.
1t is very doubtful II, on a Years Oh

70 YEARS ON THE LAKE.
Remarkable Record Of the Veteran
Commander Of the Steamer Vermont.

The old days on Lake ~Champlain.
when hundreds OF schoonera and sloops
piled it's waters. when the lake furnished
about the only means Of communication
between New York and Montreal. and
when day and night boats made the runs
from Whitehall to st. Johns, are recalled
in all the details of the conditions Of
that time by Capt. F. B. Rockwell, now
head Of the Champlain Transportation
company's fleet, who this year Is spend
Ing his 10th year on board a ship on
Lake Champlain. His history has never
been %eq,mlled on this lake and perhaps
never by a fresh-water sailor. The
captain to-day is apparently as strong
and alert as ever and does not even use
glasses, his eyesight being far better
than that Of the average youth Of 20. He
attends to the duties connected with his
office on the largest boat on the lake with
a vigilance which cannot be surpassed.
Captain Rockwell was not old when he
first took 10 the water. for in his eleven
year he shipped on board q sloop, cap
tanned by his brother. He Is now 81 years
of age and has yet to miss a season.
When he first shipped, the British flag
was seen on the lake as much as ,he
American, for the trip was made from st.
Johns to Whitehall, and many Britishers
and Canadians, as well as people of the
States, owned vessels. Even as early as
that, and that was in 1841, steam vessels
were doing n good business on the lake,
for Lake Champlain was the second body
Of water to be navigated by a steamship.
A picture of the steamship which ran on
the lake in the year 1917. forming the
line which has since grown into the
Champlain Transportation company, now
hangs in the Office OF the general
manager.
The 70 years have not all been smooth
sailing with Captain Rockwell and he can
tell many n tale of trips overheard
drownings, and even of the wreck of the
finest boat OF the fleet. He recalls the
idiosyncrasies OF many a boat, built in
ship Yards, which have long since been
forgotten and fallen into decay, if not al
together obliterated by the years, which
have piled up since he was a boy.

THE CONSUMERS DOLLAR.
(From the Landmark)

A news item in last weeks Landmark
told of the arrival in White River June
tion Of four double-decked cars filled with
live hogs picked up at stations tween
Richmond and White River Junction on
the Central Vermont railway. For these
hogs the farmers were paid five cents a
pound while IN the corresponding week
os last years hogs brought ten cents a
pound. AS the retail prices for the vari-
Gus pork products are but little II any
under those prevailing a year ago, II
would seem that the Vermont farmer Is
not getting what is justly due him In this
transaction, as his proportion OF the con-
sumer'S dollar is scarcely Is cents. Plain
~. the situation needs amending for as II
Is to-day the farmer is subject TO an I'M
position, which as long as 1t prevails 1t
is the veriest insult TO ask the Vermon
boy 10 stay on the farm.

HORSE CASE IN SIGHT.
Fanny Allen Hospital seeks to Recover
from A.. G. Print.

A real horse as In which s~pavins,
curbs and other technical horse diseases
are mentioned. was entered yesterday in
Chittenden county court, II being An
action brought by the Fanny Allen hos
pital against Albert c, Pratt to recover
1900, the price paid for a horse purchased
by the complainant from the defendant.
]. ]. Enright appears for the complainant
and V. A.. Billiard for the defendant.
Nothing except murder trials makes
court ~loungers sit up and take notice as
do genuine old-fashioned horse cases.
This case seems to be the real thing. The
complainant alleges that it purchased a
bay gelding from the defendant for 800.
when the latter claimed that the animal
was sound. II was discovered, It Is alleged.
that the gelding was intrm, unsound, suf-
fering from two bone spavins, suffering
from a curl and had one hip injured.

A. MARK TWAIN STORY.

Francis Perry Elliott, the humorist,
whose fantastic novel. The Haunted Pa
tamas," has set the entire country Choir
Ting with delight, enjoyed a very pleas
ant intimacy with the late Mark Twain.
Upon one occasion he was besought by
a committee TO try to see If he could in
duce Mr.. Clemens to make an address In
the rooms of the Aldine association, the
occasion being the annual convention Of
the American Booksellers association.
Mr.. Elliott accordingly went up to con-
FER with Mr.. Clemens, who was then liv
ing at Riverdale, on the Hudson.
The great humorist demurred very pos
lively.

ott," he drawled prvtestingly why, II
were to go down there to New York
and do what you want, all the papers
would say: what; Has he broken out
again. Why, they would regard II as n
personal grievance" He shook his leo
zine head. NO, no: there's 10 argument
Under Heavier would induce me, much as
| love tho booksellers"
Mr. Elliott coughed demurely. We
might try Heaven, Mr.. Clemens" he
raid: there's scripture for 1t, you know"
NJ sir! Not about my going down
with YOU to New York to make a speech"
His fine eyes twinkled. You show me
that. young man, and I'll co."

tlinity to extract a slip Of paper from
which he read:
And whatsoever shall compel thee to
go a mile, go with him Twain."-Math.
VA
They eyed each other solemnly for a
moment.
Then Mr.. Clemens chuckled. It's all
right" he said, 'as far as IT goes; but
IT says a mile-or rather "a mile; and
II 40 happens Riverdale is twelve miles
from New York"
