Oar Shipping Interests.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The Selec
Committee on American Ship Building
and Ship Owning 1 nterests, met to-day
but AZ there was not quorum present,
no definite action was taken. 1t is the
opinion of some Of the members that the
bill authorizing free ships will not pass
the committee. In . discussion of that
subject to-day, Representative Hunt, of
Louisiana, a Democrat, excited some
surprise by strongly opposing the m ga
sure. He thought that such a bill,
should it pass, would kill ship.
interests. An effort, however, will. be
made to get 1t before Congress, either
through the Committee on Shipping or
through that on Commerce.
Mr.. Hunt also expressed himself to-
day in favor of aiding the merchant
marine by a change in the payment for
carrying mails. He said he favored q
more liberal payment on the part of the
Government, and thought that it was
by such a policy that England had
built up her merchant marine.
Mr.. Dingley's bill to remove certain
burdens on the American merchant
marine meets the approval of the COM
mittee, and, with few minor changes,
will be reported to the House at an
early date. 1t provides, among other
things, for q reduction of hospital
duties, and some members of the COM
mittee are in favor of relieving from
such duties entirely all ships engaged
in the foreign trade.

To Parents.

Surround your children when at
home with objects and influences which
will make their minds best able to en-
joy and expand under the teachings of
the public instructor. If they see you
surround the home with beautiful
things, because you love them, they
will do so, too. If they see your garden
arranged for beauty as well as utility,
while all over the homestead stern
economy yields to rcverential love of
nature, and to sense that the gratitica-
ton of the eye and the mind is quite as
important as the qualification of the
appetite, they will grow up with liberal,
generous feelings and opinions; they
will be men and women who have the
best interest of the world at heart.
