FOR TRAINING SHIPS.
Sug ggested That Stock Of Live Oak
Be Used to Build Them
Naval Constructor Tawreney's Idea
Old Sailing MeE-of-Wur Used
fer the Purpose Fast
Deteriorating,

The naval authorities have under
consideration a proposition by Naval
Constructor TaWreney TO construct
wooden vessels to take the place Of
those that have been doing service fer
many years as training and receiving
ships. These old sailing men-of-war
have become obsolete fer war purposes,
and are rapidly deteriorating. Some of
them cannot last much longer Taw-
reHcy has suggested that new vessels
would be much mere comfortable and
could be fitted in modern style.
1t has been tie practice Of the navy
department 10 use fighting vessels for
years after they have become useless
for the purpose for which they were
first designed. The first step in the
process that leads to not using them at
all is their utilization as training ships.
Then they become receiving ships. and
later are occasionally turned over TO
garions states for use as school ships.
Is Is considered desirable for naval
cadets and apprentices 10 have some
experience On sailing vessels.
Mr.. Tawreney is stationed at the
navy yard Portsmouth. \. II. There
IS a great quantity Of timber there be
longing to the government that he be-
lieves can be profitably used in con-
structing new vessels of the kind men
toned. Before the civil war, when the
government built its own war vessels,
enormous quantities of live oak were
brought to Portsmouth, and much of it
was not used Mr. Tawreney has told
Ike navy department that there is
enough of this live oak to construct the
hulls of three vessels.

sack and Tastes the Food in
the Mess Kitchen.

The duke of Connaught has been the
hero of the French army maneuvers
around Mouline, which he attended as
President Faure's chief guest. He
first distinguished himself by a splen-
did display of horsemanship before the
French staff, when a borrowed horse,
startled by the firing, tried to bolt,
scared and fell. The duke skillfully
disengaged himself unhurt.
On the following day, during a halt,
he infinitely examined a French sol.
dier's knapsack. He had one of them
emptied on the ground, weighed the
articles and finally took the knapsaek,
strapping it On his own shoulders, and
walked up and down in front Of the
president and the generals in order to
test whether the straps hampered his
movements. The spectators were
greatly amused and the private sol
ders loudly cheered him.
The duke of Connaught visited the
French camp kitchens, and. following
the great Napoleon's precedent, he
asked to be allowed to taste the SOL
diers' food, remarking: Il must only
take a tiny morsel, as l am robbine
somebody's share"
Then he forked out and ate slice
of beef. which he pronounced to be Of
excellent quality.
The duke also examined the mems
overcoats, testing their weight and
texture.
These incidents have made the duke
Of Connausht very popular with the
French soldiers and villagers At the
hamlet Of Ennemond they had a great
treat in seeing the thirsty president
Of the republic and Queen Victoria s
stepson stop before little public
house and toss eff glasses of light
beer. While the hurriedly assembled
band played ''God Save the Queen"
