A NEW STEAM LINE.

For some time rumors have been
current that there would shortly be
new steamer line to connect San
Diego with Yokohama and Hong
kong. 1t proves that these rumors
are substantially true. The high
contracting parties are the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany whose western terminus is at
San Diego and the great Peninsular
and Oriental Steamship Company of
England, which is probably the
wealthiest and most powerful Steam
ship Company in the world. It has
long carried the mails between Eng
land, India, China, Australia an I all
oriental ports. 1t is said to have a
feet of over eighty vessels, some of
which are among the swiftest and
finest appointed afoat. It is clear
that the Boston owners of the Atchi-
son road, many of whose sharehold-
ers, by the way, are Englishmen, in
tend to make bold effort to capture
the tea and silk trade between the
United States and China and japan
and it is also pretty obvious that the
Z. q 0. Steamship Company wants
to get footing in the Pacific
that will strengthen its India, China
and Australian services. Vice Presi-
dent Smith of the Atchison road
substantially affirms these views.
He said that "the matter was not
fully consummated yet, but that it
was more than likely the arrange
ment would be made. The p. & o.
Company was anxious for it and he
was heartily in favor of it," What
with the opposition Of the Canadian
Pacific on the north and the p. & O.
Company on the south, the interests
OF American built steamers gener-
ally, and Of the Port of San Fran
cisco in particular, are likely to have
a hard time of it. We strongly sus-
pect, too, that the object of the P. &
.. Company in securing a connec-
ton with one of our great transcon
tinental railroads is to capture such
of the Australian trade as comes this
way. That company has a fast,
popular and profitable weekly SER
vice between London and Mel
bourne, which it is naturally anxious
to protect. 1t probably sees danger
to its interests in the Pacific route
and, In consequence, has determined
to control it. Congress should lose
no time in strengthening American
lines with adequate subsidies,-

Harrison an Expert Carver.

Washington Correspondence New York Star
This is one of the pleasant little stories about
President-elect Harrison. When he was Sem
ator here he and his family lived in modest
style at a quiet boarding house, where they
were the only guests. His hostess had heard
him say that he was fond Of game, and 80
when she one day saw in the market lot of
plump quail she bought some. There were
just enough, as the good hostess thought. to go
around nicely. She broiled them to a turn and
served them on toast
A little while before the dinner hour Senator
Jones and couple Of friends called on Senator
Harrison. They were still there when dinner
was announced Senator Harrison invited them
to go down and take dinner with him. They
accepted, and the hostess was in despair There
were not enough quail 10 go around with this
unexpected addition, and II was too late 70 do
anything. Senator Harrison, as usual, did the
carving and supplying. After little, hearing
no complaint to an insuficiency of quail,
she ventured to examine the plates critically
She discovered that while Senator Jones and
his friends had plenty of quail, Senator Harri-
son and his family had large supply of toast
with but mighty little quail Ii was done in
such matter of fact way that she alone no
ticed it. The invited guests complimented her
on her skill in preparing the birds.
Tell me, said the good lady in relating the
incident, that a man who could so neatly
change what threatened TO be an embarrassing
situation into a pleasing one is not DIPLOMAT

and diplomatist. No man who wasn't could

A SAD SITUATION,
Last Lessons of a Loving Mothers Life

From the New York Fashion Bazar
remember being taken by nv mother when
was child to see poor woman who was
dying of a cancer. The disease was eating its
way to vital part and her doctor had given
her month as her utmost limit of life. She
was preparing for her end in way that seemed
practical and prosaic enough, but that struck
Inc as pathetic in its self-forgetfulness. She
was sitting up in bed, with basket beside her,
finishing up the family mending. showing her
eldest daughter-on whose thirteen -year-old
shoulders the burden of household care was
soon to fall-how TO fell down seams in the
little brothers knee patches and how TO darn
the heel of fathers sock so that he would
never feel the difference. She had impressed
upon the girl how TO make her fathers favorite
potato pone, how TO manage her young sister
when she got into the sulks what TO do for her
father when he had his periodical ct of cramps
and everything else she could think of
that would insure comfort in the humble home
she was leaving. She had all the work planned
which she would do during the short span of
life that was given to her. Her burial clothes
were folded away in drawer with sweet basil
leaves among them. was reminded of the in
cident by reading in paper recently Of a man
In Milwaukee who is preparing for something
that Is even more terrible than death-insan-
ity. He will be violently insane in few weeks,
and he knows it, Some time ago his skull was
fractured; gristle is fast forming about the
cracked edges, which will surely press upon
the brain and make him a maniac. He talks
calmly and nationally of his approaching fate,
and spends every moment of has brief term of
sanity in making provision for his family when
he shall no longer be able TO care for them. II
is a situation worthy the pen of novelist like

How Shall we Train Our Girls?

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
This was the subject of talk at the Twilight
club recently. beautiful subject. but one
very difficult to treat adequately. Not a sub
iect 10 dogmatize about. The question it pre-
sents is like this other question-How shall we
adjust ourselves to sunshine? and the best an
swer to that is-Don't adjust yourself at all to
it. except to give yourself to it and it's blessed
Frightening influence.
And so as to our girls. Girls are to be &C.
cepted and cherished as sunshine. How shall
you train them? At least be careful how YOU
give them any training that shall take them
out OF their natural characters. Respect the
beautiful curves of nacent character in woman
just as you admire the beautiful curves of her
person.
am not disciple of Rosseau SO far as to
favor return to nature, but I would be
careful not to depart too far from it. To at
tempt to reshape what heaven has made so
shapely! Is not that presumption?
Certainly, seeing how many are the ill effects
of mothers entertaining of their girls. don't
care to see fathers intervene too far in training
their daughters, for that would only be to
make matters worse. Our girls minds are like
their dresses and japanese art-full of perver-
sites of ingenuity-and fathers attempts at
training their daughters, certainly, in any con-
siderable degree outside of their mothers in
fiuence, would only add to them. Laissez faire
girls.
You can't straighten n crooked nose. for il
lustration; or, ii you can, it is only by force
that does violence to nature. Respect nature
is the highest rule in art. The great charm of
girls, when they are charming. is that they are
simple, natural and unaffected. Conscript
Fathers! leave them so. As Judge Arnoux
touchingly put the matter. as to very young
girls: Those little soft arms about papas neck
best teach papa his duty to his darlings.'
The best education of girls is more matter
of affection than of judgment-or training.
Speaking from my own experience e. who have
four girls, equal to anybody else's twenty-four,
as am accustomed modestly to say-girls that
have been and are largely the happiness of my
hfe). would have felt somewhat as if they
were the chief cares of my life. if / had felt
too mach of what General Woodford called 1.-The
solemn obligation of fatherhood."
No; don't call out the train bands Leave
the girls mostly to their mothers as their most
natural and best care-takers; and, fathers, seek
chiefly to influence and to mould your daugh.
tiers through their mothers. If they, our wives,
are worthy of us, in that way our girls will
best be credit to them and Joy to us, to
themselves and to Heaven.

An Unlucky Customer

From the New York Star
One runs up against odd superstitions at
times. met well-known dry-goods merchant
on Broadway the other day. He looked 30 pale
that l asked him if he was ILL.,
mo" he replied, Il am not i'll, but am
scared. You see, my statesmen have peculiar
superstition about certain customer who pur-
chases large bills of goods from me. He made
his hrst appearance at the store some five years
ago. and was waited upon by bright, healthy
young salesman. The poor fellow died six
months later, but no one thought the Gus
toners visit had anything to do with his death
until year after the salesman left the dry
goods business for better world Then an
other salesman, who had waited upon the GUS
toner / spoke of, died, and his former CON-
panions made up their minds to give the Gus
toner wide berth should he appear again.
He did appear about year after his second
visit, and a new salesman, who had not heard
OF him, looked after his warts The young
man was taken i'll short tirle ago, and is ex-
pected to die at any moment. Well, am
afraid am this customers next victim, as l
waited upon him yesterday. wish he would
