MILITARY CONSERVATISM.

In his recently published reminis-
cences of the Duke of Wellington the
late Rev. G. R. Gleig recalls that that
famous commander was at all times
strenuously opposed to new inven-
lions. He scorned, for example, such
novelties as the Mimic rifle, and good
old Brown Bess," the clumsy musket
Of Waterloo, was his ideal 1t was
with the greatest reluctance that he
allowed flint and steel to give place to
percussion cap. This is only an ex-
IRENE instance of feeling not I'M
common among military men, nor is it
unnatural. Most of the inventions
that have revolutionized warfare have
been due to civilians. Have they ben

to show that they have tended to

EDUCATED BUSINESS MEN.

Students of the history of education
are familiar with the time when the
object of the collegiate foundation
was almost solely to train young men
for the priesthood or the ministry.
Then the desirability of general
scholastic culture as preparation for
entry into the law was recognized, and
lastly, as a preparation for entry into
medicine. The ministry, the law and
medicine-these almost up to our time
have been the three learned profess
sions. Except for the comparatively
small number attracted by the notion
that an academic education was fit
ting to gentility, the vast majority of
academic pupils were destined, in the
order named, for the surplice, the
robe and the chaise. From the three
typical American universities the
greater number of graduates now look
forward to business careers or to
technical pursuits which are closely
related to business. The business
nan OF the future is plainly to be
man of scholastic education. This
tendency is likely to have an effect
on business as it already has an effect
on our universities. New York Globe.

WHISTLER'S PEACOCK ROOM
1t Has Been Moved from the Late F. r. Leyland's :
House and Is Exhibited In London Gallery Y


From time to time many people have
wondered what would be the ultimate
fate of Whistler's Peacock Room -
one of the best known and least
known of his works Everybody has
heard of it, but few have seen it. Its
present fate is to be in the market.
The Peacock Room" was, of course,
designed for, and to some extent in
spite of, the late Frederick Richard
Leyland 1t developed out of the din
ing room in his house in Princes
Gate
A large part of this house had been
decorated by Norman Shaw, with the
assistance of another architect, named
Jeckyll, and of Murray Marks. The
dining room was entirely Jeckyll's
work.
He designed a wooden ceiling, with
pendent lamps, and on the walls an
elaborate shelving for the display of
Mr. Leylands fine collection of orr
entail china This shelving was car
ried out in walnut wood and the pan
els were fitted with brown Spanish
leather decorated with small flowers.
The leather alone cost $1,000.
When Mr.. Leyland bought Whist
ler's La Princesse du Pays de la
Porcelaine." which occupied position
of honor in the memorial exhibition
at Boston, he placed it in a recess
above the mantelpiece of his dining
room; and here, so Whistler thought,
the surroundings were not quite suit
able to the picture.
The leather was too dark and the
flowers were too red. The interfered

They were as vulgar fellows in a gra-
cious presence.

longer appear upon embassy and con-

bassy," American Consulate" and

substituted on all the new record

While the familiar abbreviation, "U.
S. A. may be missed by many, this
is a sensible change. In spite of the
ditful protests that now and then come
down from Canada, citizens of the
federal states are universally known
as Americans. The United States
representatives abroad are invariably
called Americans.
When Secretary Hay first proposed
the change that has now gone into eff
feet the Canadian press declared that
the people of the United States had no
more exclusive right to the name of
Americans than had the people of any
other country in North or South Amer
lea.
But national titles fit history and
usage. 1t is not customary abroad to
designate an American as Canadian
American, Mexican American, or
United States American. The real
Americans were the Americans of the
thirteen states. The real Americans
are the citizens of the nation devel
Oped from the thirteen states. That
is the verdict Of history. That is in

Had the civil war resulted in dis

The brown leather became a deep,
rich, greenish blue-the peacock blue.
The red flowers faded quite away.
Woodwork was lacqueled. Flat
spaces were gilded.
Gold got into the hair Of the busy
decorators. Gold covered their faces.
Paint dropped into their eyes. But
on they worked, Whistler now bent

now in hammock slung from the

Originally we'll proportional, and

the most beautiful room in the world.
At any rate, it is unique And in
this unique state the "Princesse' lived
till Mr.. Leyland died. She brought

The room, however, kept on staying

did it occur to somebody that it might
be possible to detach the decorations

TWO VETERANS OF THE NAVY.

We cannot feel too tenderly toward
the old ships that stood by us faith
fully in times when the young nation
needed their strength and powers.
The frigate Constellation, now at
the Brooklyn navy yard, was first COM
missioned 107 years ago. She was the
smallest o. the three famous ships au-
thOrized by the direct Intervention of
President Washington on the matter
of the reorganization of the navy in
1897, as she is the last of them to
carry at her masthead the pennant of
active duty.
Of her sister ships, the United
States. once known as the "Old Wag-
on was destroyed during the civil
war, while the other, Old Ironsides, of
immortal memory, has found a snug
harbor in the Boston navy yard.
These old frigates were once the
bulwarks of struggling nation. They
carried the flag in every sea and play
ed their part so well that their deeds
have become priceless national ira
ditions.
The Constitution and the Constella-
ton are the last visible links that
bind us to deeds that stand forth in
our naval annals as something to be
proud Of. The Constellation was in
numerous brave fights off the coast of
France and captured several ships
OF superior force. The country will
see to it that both she and her veteran
sister ship. the Constitution, remain
an inspiration to the new men of the
navy.

AS Tips reached the cartridge,
Morse was mentally calculating the
number of seconds that would elapse
before there would be no more dog,
and it was not till the faithful animal,
grasping the shell firmly between his
teeth, turned suddenly shoreward, that
the real horror of the situation flashed
upon him and his companions. Then,
with united yell of dismay, they
turned and very literally took to the
woods, each man looking for the wood
lest portion. AS they dashed for
cover, each hoped that, whatever the
dog might do, it would not follow him.
Tips had gained the bank, and as they
ran they could plainly hear the pat
tering feet of the animated bombshell
and the deep breathing and snorting
Of poor Biller, who numbered along in
the rear, like slow freight train over
a rough track.
Almost simultaneously the thought
came to the pursued that a dog al.
ways follows his master, and the 9TH
ers rejoiced that they did not own a
dog, while they realized that the re-
triever was certainly following Biller.
and so, looking backward to note his
whereabouts, they crouched behind
trees out of the line of his retreat and
gazed fascinated upon the dreadful
spectacle.
