In the course of the discussion
which is now going on in England
over the place of science in military
education, one fact has been insisted
upon by every pleader for more sci
ence, namely, that the defect of class
ical education as we'll in military and
naval matters as in the other profes.
sions is as much in the mental habits
it produces as in the knowledge which
it fails to impart
1t not only furnishes the student
with an outlook on the world, based
on the science of the year 1 B. c., but
it equips him with intellectual tools,
beautifully ornamented, and of great
artistic perfection, but as hopelessly
inadequate to the needs of modern
life as are now the bow and arrow in
warfare. The claims of a quack or
the Revolutionary discovery" I'M
earthed by an imaginative reporter,
seem to the classlcist as inherently
probable and far more interesting
than the carefully worded announce
ment Of a great scientist. There is no
difference in probability, SO far as he
can see, regarding the truth of the
announcement that a South American
traveller has discovered a bush pro-
ducing worms as fruit, and the claim
Of an Indian doctor that mosquito
bites cause malaria.
He accepts statements as facts, be.
cause some great man has made

to be despised. A coming architect

If there is solid wood for the table

legs and supports. A trash basket
may be made of them, strung one on

smaller spools make pretty picture

collected from a dozen different
sources, and they are sure to provide
amusement for innumerable rainy

North America can boast such revels
in those days, or so much decorum in
sport.
Among the many stories connected
with the hostilities about Port Royal
the most romantic and thrilling is
that of the bitter feud between
Charles La Tour and D'Aulnay Char
Mise. The former, as the friend and
associate OF Poutrincourt's son, re-
ceived from him at HIS death the
right Of command in Acadie. D'Aul-
nay held the same right from the
friend of Ricbelieu in France.
The enmity of the two men was as
sured, for neither recognized the
claim of the other. La Tour retreated
to st. John, supported by his ability to
make friends, by aid from New Eng
land, and by his young bride, the
most brilliant and interesting woman

Naturally the encounters OF these

La Tour who figures most heroically
in the feud. Think of a woman bray
ing the long voyage to France to win
aid for her husband from the luxuri-
Gus court of Louis XIV! D'Aulnay
sought to thwart her, but she escaped
pursuit to England, was detained upon
her return voyage long time on the
north coast and finally carried to Bos.
I ton, where she prosecuted the cap
tain of the vessel upon which she
came for unwarranted delay, won her
SUIT and returned to st. John with
the desired aid.

the absence of her husband, that

supporters should be spared.
When D'Aulnay, however, saw how
few had withstood him, enraged, he
commanded the execution of all save
one, and compelled Nine. La Tour to
witness the deaths of her followers
with a halter about her neck.
Under the terrible strain of such
scenes the strong nerves Of the brave
woman gave out, and three weeks af.
terward she died prisoner. 1t is
some satisfaction to know that the
Annapolis river swallowed up her foe
Ave years later. OF him it has been
said, with power to conquer his
enemies, he had no ability to make
friends"
Upon the death of D'Aulnay the
fugitive La Tour returned from the
wilds, was received once more in ia
vor at the French court, and, by a
strange twist of fate, married the
widow of his former enemy, the
drowned D'Aulnay.
The old French road is still traced
