In the Old French Quarter of New Orleans, In
'the Cathedral parish, not many squares from the
French Market as it now stands, dwelt the creme
de Ia creme of the society of the old French
reqi,ne. Many of them had come direct from Ia
belle France" bringing with them the customs and
the traditions of former rank and prestige. Some
of these were descended from the old French Huge
nots who had drifted from the MANNHEIM Town in
; Virginia, where they had first settled when driven
from France with their families, and here they all
lived in the midst of their beautiful flower gardens,
latticed in all sides, in as much secluson as
if they still dwelt in the ancestral villas OF France
Their dwellings were chiefly smart frame houses,
one, or, perhaps one and onehalf stories high,
with long verandas upon which the men sat and
smoked, and drank their fine wines, brought from
the vineyards of their native land; while their
wives in the cool shaded sittingroom, within

Among this latter class was Monsieur Dupuy,
descendant of the old Hugenot stock from Virginia
who, with his wife and children dwelt in the old
fashioned frame cottage, which his father had
built some fifty years before for his pretty young
American wife whom he had brought with him
from the Old Dominion. The ravages of time
were all hidden beneath the luxurious vines which
were trained about the porches and to the very
caves of the house. sending the perfume of the
everblooming roses into every chamber into which
they peeped.
The little plot of ground about the cottage was

French or broken English maybe, If some OF them
xwere Americans, as might naturally be the case,
since MANY of them had intermarred by this
time with the Englishspeaking people, with whom
they were constantly thrown. Sometimes the men
would play a "leetle game" of cards, and the
ladies perhaps would be invited to join. Ihen
there would be wonderful chattering, and light,
silvery laughter would be heard above the cllnk
of the glasses and the falling of the cards which

Editors Kennebec Journal:
| Why has a Commercial Department
| been established in the Cony High
| school? Because 1t is considered a
| necessary addition i'm order to meet the
demands of our changing social and
| industrial conditions. The purpose and
value of such course has for some
| time been known to the members of
| the board of education, to the super

of the High school, and to many who
are interested in the city and it's in
stitutions and who believe that in
| order to serve it's best purpose. in
| struction should be liberal and at the
same time suited to the requirements
of actual life.
We can heartily congratulate the cit

The city is justified. even required, to

municipal ordinance. represents a gain
rather than loss: most school teach
crS are worth to the taxpayers more
money than they receive.
IN the hope that it may establish
among the people a proper attitude
toward its scope and purpose, we have
undo rtakcn in what appears to us to
sol e., 1, l., I.
lem of commercial education Because
we share the responsibility in estab-
fishing this department of work in the
Augusta schools, we are anxious that
proper ideals prevail from the begin
ming, and that future directors of this
work be selected from among men cap
able of teaching the meaning of bust
ness, of raising commercial education
above the narrow, and of realizing the
Ideals set forth.
A reading of the history of educa-
ton in America seems to disclose the
following facts. First. our earlier
schools and colleges were predominated
by the English and European ideas of
culture. The state early recognized the
necessity of preparing the youth for
citizenship. and SO schools We're en-
couraged to that end: but the school
itself was a product of those to whom
powers were delegated. 1t may be Sug-
gested that the schools of a particular
age ana country are seldom much bet
ter or worse than the prevailing culture
ard ideals of life. Second. schools
grew as they were planted, but were
very little influenced by the growth of

announcement: "The subscriber, en-

regard with suspicion, the notion that
English can best be learned through a
study of the classics.

Alagc other than English, will be
made. Local conditions and local de-
nands will be regarded in this selec-
ton. Our commercial course in the
High School will require pupils to be
grounded in mental and general arith-
metic, and will furnish an extension of
the mathematical idea through a study
of algebra. Practical geometry and
measurements Will also be included to
complete the course.

rms Is one of the dangers that NAV
follow neglect of cough or cold. and
is therefore the best of reasons wnv
one should check a cold at the start
"A simple, inexpensive and effective
remedy, that will usually break a cold
overnight, is the mixture of one-half
ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine compound
pure, with two ounces of Glycerine

In preparing this formula it is es-

combination of the active principles

To Cure
Pinples

The following will often cure the
worst case of pimples: First steam the
face in hot water and then apply
cloth wet with N-Zalia directly on the
rash. Keep wetting the cloth with
this liquid. which can be had at any
drug store. Repeat this treatment
morning and night. In this way the
poison is removed from the sores and
the flesh will heal in a surprisingly
quick time
