LOSIHO THUS GRIP. , The latest from Washington in reference to the ship subsidy bill is that its promoters are losing their grip and are not as hopef ul of being able to carry it through as they were when Senator Frye presented his patched up substitute for the ttanna-Payne bill. They had hopes of being able to get rotes enough to pass it in that shapo, as some of the most objectionable provisions of the Uanna-Payne bill weie elimi nated. But he didn't succeed in eliminating all the objections! feat ures for if he had there wouldn't be - any ship subsidy bill left. The professed object of this scheme is first to build up an Ameri can merchant marine and incident ally the ship building industry of this country. Building up a marine of our own would create a demand for ships, which must be built in American yards, for only those ships could fly the American flag and that would mean a good deal of work for our ship builders, causing the upbuilding of the industry with the growth of our merchant marne. This is one of the arguments used to bolster up the subsidy scheme, in answer to the inquiry why they do not permit Americans who want to engage in ocean traffic to buy their ships where they please, as European ship owners may and do. But one of the arguments which they thought would be one of the strongest and appeal most forcibly to popular sup port proves to be one of the weakest and one of their greatest stnmbling blocks. Mr.' Frye represents as Senator a State which is largely interested jn ship-building, and the probabilities are that he is more intent on promot ing the interests of his ship-buildiog constituency than he is in building up a merchant marine. The up building of a merchant marine is secondary with him to the upbuild, ing of the ship yards of Maine. In this age of grab and looking out for special interests no one will be much disposed to wonder that Senator Frye is looking out for his own, al though he lacks the candor to con fess that he is using the American merchant Marine as a cover for his scheme to put money in the coffers of the ship-builders of his own and other States. There are some schemes which grow in merit and strength the more light is thrown on them and the better they are understood. But unfortunately for this ship subsidy scheme it doesn't belong to that class, for the more light there is thrown upon it and the better it is - understood the weaker, more objec tionable and less defencible it be comes. There isn't an argument they advance in support of their scheme, either as-a means of building up the shipping industry or as a promoter of American commerce which is not answered by a counter argument either from disinterested parties from other countries, or rom offi cial figures from ' Government sources. - In advocating subsidies as a ne cessary means of building up our ship building industry they assert ; that they are essential to enable our ship builders to compete with shipbuilders on the-other side of the sea. But really where is the necessity for our ship builders to compete with foreign ship builders, ; when a foreign built ship cannot carry the American flag or enter the American merchant marine without special permit by act of Congress? There can be.no compe tition there for it there be any ships owned by Americans to engage - in ocean traffic under the American flag they must be built in this coun try, so that while the present navi gation laws are in force our ship builders will have the "monopoly of that business. But it is not true that our ship' builders cannot build ships as cheap ly as they can be built in European yards. A German naval constructor, Tiard Schwartz, who was sent to this country by the naval author ities of Germany to investigate the methods pursued .in .American ship yards and who spent some time thus engaged, reports to those who sent him that in the yards on the lakes they are building freighters cheaper there than the same character of vessels can be built in English ship yards. He reports, further, that while. American workmen receive considerably more, pay, from thirty to fifty per cent, more than the best paid in Europe, they are a splendid body of men, earn more for their employers and are therefore cheaper laborers than those in European yards. Another advantage the American builderi have over the Europeans is the general use of labor-saving machinery, which re duces the cost of work to the mini mum, and as, fox the material for building steel vessels he found that cheaper in, this . country., .than in Europe, so that summing it up the advantages worth talking about are with the American builders.. If Lieut. Schwartz were alone in his testimony, it might be taken with some allowance for hasty conclu sions or insufficient information, or a desire to appear to have acquired more information than he really did, but he is not alone for he supported by the testimony of other Enrorteana who have visited this? country and had opportunity ito make observations on the methods employed in our ship yards and steel plants. Testimony like this is having its effect on Congressmen in knocking props from under the arguments ad vanced ia suppwt of subsidifl as necessary to enoourage and support the ship building industry in this country, an industry which is now flourishing, and which is able not only to build its vessels as cheaply as they can be built in foreign yards, but more cheaply. The progress that our foreign com merce has made in the past ten years is proof sufficient that an American merchant marine is not necessary for the expansion of our commerce. No wonder under the circumstances that the advocates of subsidies do not feel as confident of putting them through as they did some time ago. BITTIR THAN BDBJIDIXIKO SHIPS. The Senate Committee on Com merce got some interesting points, Tuesday, from the representatives of the River and Harbor Congress, which met in Baltimore last Fall. These representatives spoke for dif f ernnt sections of the country, not as partisans but as business men, looking to the commercial prosperity of our common country. The argument used in support of the ship, subsidy, scheme, is that we need ships to expand our commerce. A large portion of the proposed subsidies will go, if that scheme carries, to big ships that can com pete with the big ships that have been and are being built in other countries, especially in England and Germany. These, are all heavy draft vessels, which could enter few of our ports. Our battle ships are all heavy draft. They could enter bnt few of our, ports. The ten dency of the day is towards large ships of great carrying capacity, as it is held that for regular, steady service, when there is business enough for them, there is economy in operating this kind of vessels, whose speed is in proportion to their dimensions. What is the use of vessels of that kind when they can enter but few of our ports ? Many of the tramp steamers now running and being built draw twenty-five feet or more and sometimes have, when loaded, to wait for the tides to go to sea. ui course cms is an ooscacie w an increase of trade with such ports, and it also adds to the cost of car riage of freights, for all these things are taken into account when prices are made on uie services 01 tnese ships When there are ships enough afloat to be obtained on call the most sensible thing to do in to put our harbors in such shape and keep them so, that seagoing vessels will have no trouble in getting in and out of them. As a commerce builder that's better than spending millions for ships when ships can be had on call. MUCH ADO ABOUT 'QTHIIIG. Mr. Gardner, Republican, of Michigan, an ex-Federal soldier, did himself credit by the chivalrous zeal with which he supported, in the House of Representatives, Tues day, the proposition of Representa tive Rixey, of Virginia, to open the the National Soldiers' Homes to ex Confederate soldiers, a proposition which was very generally and very properly opposed, ,by .Democratic members. Such a proposition should not have come from a Southern Representative, and if it came at all. it should have been from a Northern Representative and a Re publican at that. The ex-Confederates are not look ing for bounty from' the Federal Government and those of them who have as much self respect as they should have would not feel at ease where they would be iooked upon as charity beneficiaries and would.be subject to taunts and insults from the less generous of their associates, who are taught to believe that they are inmates of such institutions- as a right and not a charitable conces cession. But aside from all this it is a matter of much ado about nothing, for not one ex-Confederate in a thousand would seek those homes of which thei-f arq but few, and pptxlj all, if not all of these, in the' North. Ninety-nine out of a hundred ex Confederates, even if hard pressed, would prefer to remain among their own people ana take the chances on the bounty of their own people and their own State. We have no doubt that this is the sentiment cf the average ex-Confederatey however much he might appreciate the. gen erous and chivalrous utterances of the gentleman from' Michigan.

He has improved his stock by purchasing a number of very fine imported "bucks." They are the most remarkable breeders, produc ing young at each month in the year, tne titters numbering from six to six teen. Mr. Jenkins first bought them seven months ago and has some little fellows now of the third generation. He has, all told, about sixty, and several of them are perfectly marked. Those giving the best promise and "mark ing" nicely, are frequently sold at fabulous prices, some "bucks" baying been sold in this country for f 3,500. The hares .afford very fine eating, proving in every way superior to common rabbits, and a psir of them will keep an ordinary family in meat the year around. Dwarf Trees. To dwarf trees as the Chinese do you must follow their methods. They take a young plant, say a seedling- or a catting of cedar when about two or three inches high, cut off Its taproot as soon as it has enough other rootlets to -lire upon and replant it in a shallow pot or pan, al lowing the end of the taproot to rest up on the bottom of the pan. Alluvial clay molded to the Bize of beans and lost suffi cient in quantity to furnish a scanty nourishment is then put into the pot. Water, heat and light are permitted on the same basis. The Chinese also use various mechanic al contrivances to promote symmetry of growth. As, owing to the shallow pots. both top and roots are easily accessible, the gardener uses the pruning knife and the searing Iron freely: So that the little tree hemmed on every side eventually gives up the unequal struggle and, con tenting itself with the little life left, grows just enough to live and look well.

VENEERED DIAMONDS AND GEMS OF FINE COLORED OLAS. j mm of th Modern Trlebs of fce TrA Pine Gold Settings Use Fot Bofew Stoaes The Halo ArossS Oonalae Pearl. Although the imitation of Jewels has been practiced for ; a century or more there are comparatively new develop ments la the industry every few years, and the business has of late attained enormous proportions. The majority of these stones are made abroad, and hence they are imported, i But while they are exceedingly cheap and the duty is low the attempt is occasionally made to smug gle them into the country, .and a seizure results. Again, the imitation ts some times so good that even the customs om- cers are puzzled for a time. However, it is always possible for an expert to ten the difference If be nas samcient oppor tunity to apply the proper tests. Imitations ef the diamond, topas, emer ald, amethyst and turquoise are usually made of paste or strass, which is nothing more than a particularly fine grade of Klaas. to which, if the stone Is colored, the proper hue has been imparted by the addition to some mineral substance. There is at least one European house, though, which professes to add carbon to its diamond composition, thus securing greater hardness than would otherwise be nossible. In London still another plan Is pursued to Improve- the paste diamond. Qenuine diamond dust, produced by the cutting of jewels, Is treated with add, reduced to a plastic state and then rolled out in exceedingly thin sheets. This veneei Is cut Into the proper shape and cement ed on the faces of the strass; Glass dia monds can be bought for a few cents when unset, but a veneered diamond is worth nearly SI. A high degree of Skill Is required in Its preparation. There are several methods of distin guishing between i a : true diamond and paste. Hydrofluoric acid will eat glass, but will not affect the genuine stone. A file makes no impression on the latter either. Finally a real diamond contin ues to gutter when immersed in water. Some artificial rubies are of paste; oth ers have the ssme composition as the genuine stone, -which consists of corun dum. The latter variety of imitation ruby has the proper hardness and spe cific gravity, and the color is faultless. It can be distinguished from the true ruby only by a powerful magnifying glass, singularly enough, the genuine article is identified by its defects. There are natural flaws in it not found in the imitation, although the imitation also possesses other characteristics (minute bubbles, for instance) which are readily recognised. On some stones, like the topas and emerald. It is not wise to nse a file. They are not hard enough to re . sist It. -The magnifying glass- is the sur est means of ascertaining the character of these jewels. Owing no donbt to the fact that pearls are often worn in strings instead of sin gly or in pairs, like diamonds, the' busi ness of manufacturing imitations of them Is far more extensive than any kindred branch of the Industry, except perhaps the making of bogus turquoises and em eralds and rubies for belt buckles. ; And inasmuch as most of these imitation pearls are exceedingly cheap it is possi ble for anybody to buy them. Thus one may get a card bearing a dozen stickpins with imitation pearl heads for from 10 to 10 cents. If the stones were genuine. they would be worth from Si 00 to $200. There are several kinds of imitation pearls. One is a glass bead filled with composition. The glass is often not over a sixty-fourth of an inch thick. There are several different compositions used. One looks very much like paraffin. A bead filled with that material would crush easily. In other globular pearls, pierced for stringing, a harder snbstance is employed. There is an imported Imita tion pearl whose shell is said to be made of fishskin and whose filling is a com pound in which there is ground mother- of pearl, the lustrous lining, of the oyster shell, wherein the real pearl is produced. Tbis sort of jewel costs a dollar or two. and a string of CO would sell for $150. Real pearls of the same size and beauty would bring fully a hundred times that price. Although the manufacture of imitation pearls was long confined to Europe, it is now conducted in this country also. A New York house, the first to engage in the business, introduced a novelty to the trade a few years ago. It made solid pearls In addition to the filled ones. The composition employed is as hard as rock. Jt is almost' impossible to break these jewels, and their luster, color and ingen ious Irregularity of form win deceive any one who does not nse a magnifying glass on them. The bead ef this house tells many amusing stories about the mistakes made by expert jewelers and pawnbro kers when these stones first made their appearance. Of course it is not easy to fool an experienced person; still the ex pert mnst use a powerful lens in order to ascertain the real character of a pearl. He will not trust the naked eye. Occa sionally a jeweler will say: "No, I cannot detect an imitation pearl eight or ten feet away, bnt if I hold it in my band I can see the difference between that and the real thing. There's a sort of balo around the genuine article which is un mistakable." But ether men In the trade frankly admit thai only by means or a microscope eaa they disarlmlnate. A fashion has sprung up of late years which enhances the deception prod need by imitation jewels. If a paste diamond is set in a brase ring or an Imitation pearl is mounted on a Uermae silver pin, a sharp eyed observer, might suspect the character of the jewel, but when the set ting is of 14 carat or 18 carat gold and the manufacturer has lavished more : or less artistic skill on the design ef a ring or stud or clasp a different impression is created. When oce first gets an idea of the enormous extent to which imitation jew els are sold and worn, be naturally won ders whether the trade in genuine stones baa been affected. But a Uttle. inquiry in the proper quarter will satisfy him that ft has not. The former are purchased by a class of people woo cannot afford the Utter. New York Tribune. Formal For Polsoaed Bna Bali.
