AMERICANS TAKING
TO SEA ONCE WORE
Number Sailing For Foreign
Ports More Than Doubled
Since War.

New York, (by mail. )-There are ap-
proximately two and one-half times
es many American sailors now shipping
Yor Foreign ports than at any time
previous to the war, according to DIR.
george :. Webster, secretary Of the
American Seamen's Friend society. He
attributes this increase partly to the in
creased wages being given seamen and
partly to the improved conditions under
which they are working.
Dr. webster says, The past three
years ave marked ar almost unbeliev-
able increase In the number Of Ameri-
cans who are shipping as sailors. At
our sailors home on the North river
water front, the men we had previously
cared for were almost entirely British,
swedish and German. II an American
porn sailor should have mingled in with
thls company, he would have been
more or less conspicuous. Today wd
frequently lodge American sailors and
they are practically all men who had
not seen service in the merchant ma
Tlne prior to the outbreak Of the war.
II Is a very fair estimate to say that
tully two and one-half times as many
americans are now s~eafaring men as
prior to the war. We can no longer say
mat the American Is a land lubber.'
we venture to predict at the Ameri-
Fan Seamen's Friend society that the
proportion OF the American born sail
ors to those Of other n~ationalities Will
immensely increase after the war. In
case there is a slight lapse in industrial
activity, the ~seafaring life will doubt
less be OF attraction to many who have
not heretofore considered it."

A form Of insurance hat Is likely to
prove popular in America has appeared
In Vienna. It 10 that Of insuring q girl
against being ar old maid. The new
form Of insurance grew out Of the prob
ability that there would be q great
shortage Of men following the war and
a consequent certainty hat there
would not be enough men to go around.
This insurance IL just as business
like and efficient In It's arrangement as
Is life Insurance. Instead Of passing
upon the applicants health, the agent
bases her acceptability as a risk upon
her degree Of beauty, personal charm
and wifely qualities. The prettiest
girls are the best risks. the homely
ones having to pay the highest prem
iums.
There appears to be only one Difficult
ty about the arrangement. Who Is to
fix the age at which the insurance be-
comes payable? To claim the insurance
would be tantamount to an admission
on the woman's part that there Is no
hope OF her winning a husband. And
q great philosopher has said that a
woman resigns the idea Of getting mar
ried only with life itself. And another
equally great philosopher has remarked
that hope springs eternal in the femi-
nine breast. So 1t wSuld seem the In.

INDIA NOW ENJOYING
GREATEST PROSPERITY

Simla, India, (by mail) .-Travelers In
india today constantly hear business
me make the statement that never has
indla peen so prosperous. Sir Viii
nam Heyer, minister Of finance, says:
economically India Is more pros
porous than she ever was before. Ac-
corning to western ideas she is still a
very poor country, but she is advance
ing, as can testify after q service Of
80 years here. There has been, great
development In midas agricultural ard
INDUSTRIAL enterprises, and the govern
ment has just recently taken another
step IN the appointment Of a strong
commission to consider the possibiii-
ties or further industrial development.
since 1900 the progress has been
remarkable. Between 1900 and 1910
the number of cotton mills increased
from III to 2l0 and the persons m
ployed from $4,000 to 215,000. The
production OF yarn rose from S43, 0O0,-
0OO TO 593,OO0,000 pounds, and Of woven
goods from $4,000, 900 to 215,0 900, 900
pounds. Jute mills increased in num-
per from SO TO 60 and the persons m
ployed from 10000 to 100000. Fur
Their. the percentage OF manufactured
goods imported into India as compared
with the total imports has been stead
liy falling, while the percentage Of
manufactured good among the exports
mas been simultaneously rising. AZ
riculture, OF course, is the main indus
try OF the country, and during the 10
years under question the net area es-
tlmated to be under crops rose from
10000, zoe - 223, coo, 900 acres.
w have suffered, naturally, in va
rious directions from the war and al
one time we were threatened with
crises affecting the c%ultivators in re-
spect OF the tute and cotton industries.
These have however, been successfully
surmounted and at present these in
du3tries are in a prosperous condition,
AM the cotton ryot in particular Is
getting very good prices for his pro-
duce."
AS TO how the additional wealth
winch has accrued TO India was dis
tributed. Sir William said:
"A good deal Of money is boarded.
since the traditions which grew up
during many generations Of insecure
government are not easily shaken, but
deposits in banks have increased con-
siderably. There has been a very con-
siderable increase in the standard Of
comfort OF the people. and the rise in
prices, which has occurred in India as
we'll as In western countries, has ma
tcrially benefited her agricultural and
industrial population. though Il has
pressed hardly on members Of the pro-
feSSional middle classes. There are
also a certain number of capitalists
mill owners, jute manufacturers and
the like-who make in some years very
large profits. The fact remains. how
ever, that taking India as a whole, she
is still very poor as compared With
western standards

Bonus System In Japan.

Times. Salaries. however, are not the

the Japanese custom there is a liberal
bonus system, and the bonus amounts
to 800 or 400. times the monthly salary
In some cases.
The Mitsui company is regarded as
the biggest corporation In Japan and
their directors are noted for their

to receive in the form Of a bonus
about 100000 a year, although his
