WHS SWEAR' LESS Us Term in Navy Extends Pro fanity Decreases. go/s New in the Service Are Most Profane, Noted Chaplain Declares. junta Barbara, Cal. ? The profanity '/the average sailor ? If he is profane it ill? decreases as his service In the American nW lengthens, according to Cipt. E. W Scott, chaplain of the new Ptoific flct't. The boys who have just entered the 'tin-Ice are usually the "most profane," tccording- to Captain Scott, who has been in tlio naval service 15 years, and who Is, besides Cap'. M. C. Gleeson of the Atlantic fleet, the only fleet chap lain in tlio American navy. The boys try to make the older men already In the navy helleve they, too, ire old and experienced, and they think the use of profanity the surest way to accomplish the result." The work of the chaplains In the Bavy, Captain Scott said, Is along a "big brother" line. They deliver talks at the Sunday services aboard ship that might not be recognized by regu lar church attendants ashore. They ?[ieak to tli o men in the service in nbat they know are the terms of the men in the service. They try to solve their problems and to direct them to clean thinking, clean speaking" and (lean living. They urge them to Industry and to tike advantage of the advantages of fered for promotion. Until three or four years ago, ac 'tording to Captain Scott, there were only 24 chaplains In the navy. He was one of them, having some years before left the Yale divinity school for a naval post. In 11)14, a ruling provided for a chaplain to every 1,200 men, so lie number grew to 180 during the w. It is expected the new Pacific ieet when complete will have 20 or 25 chaplains of various religious denom inations. Captain Scott formerly was stationed ?t San Francisco.

Store That Carrie* The Stock. Western Facade of the Patace. IT IS more than 20 years since I Hrst saw that mighty Palace of tho Popes at Avignon which Frolssart called "the finest ami strongest house in the world;" and the most Im portant occurrence In that period, from tin* point of view of the architect and the historian, is that In 1JH)7 the huge building was at last relieved from its dangerous task of sheltering sol diers, who <yirod as little for Its beauty as for its associations, writes Theodore Andrea Cook In Country Life. It was, perhaps, better to be the barracks of a regiment than to-be a prison like Tar . a scon, or a disintegrating ruin like Hea uca Ire. Hut none of these three glorious relics of Provencal history de served so ignominious a fate, and the department of historic monuments earned the thanks of every scholar by Its change of policy toward these splendid castles of the storied Rhone. One invaluable result of clearing the Palace of Avignon has been that foi the first time it is possible to compare the actual constructions of this ex traordinary building with the records preserved In the Vatican and Investi gated by Eugene Muntz, Maurice Fau con and F. Ehrle. This comparison was carried on by Felix Dlgonnet, the learned guardian of the museum at Avignon, and when again the continent j Is free ground for the curious traveler I hope that visitors will bo able not only to see the whole of the palace, but to understand the original Inten tion of its builders, and to realize the skill and care with which all the an cient masonry Is being preserved or reproduced after the century of de facement and neglect which followed the most deliberate vandalism of the Revolution. Color and MaaslveneM. The vast and deserted esplanade In front of this giant block of masonry is a fitting framework to so massive a memorial of dead majesty, and the whole atmosphere of the scene Is as different as possible from anything you have passed on your way through the modern town from the railway station of the republic. The exquisite color of the pale gold masonry ? "telnte uniforme de feullle seche," said Henri Beyle ? is one of the loveliest attributes of the buildings of Provence, as it is of our own Dorsetshire houses; but it Is the titanic strength and elemental pride of this enormous building which first Impress themselves on the be holder who stands before its ruined western entrance gate. The huge and bony carcass of somoe creature of the prime, fossilized in bygone ages of the world, and couchant still within Its ancient lair, seems brooding like some monstrous menace over the Valley of the Rhone. Ruined and mutilated, as it is, of all Its former splendor, this cliff of cut stone stands stupendous above the petty highways of our small er life. The octagonal turret Jutting from the tower immediately on your left of the main entrance preserves, In Its name of "The White Cardinal," the memory of that humbly horn Cister cian monk who, In December, 1835, as sumed the title of Benedict XII, and really began the foundation of the palace as we see IL Two-thirds of the whole, at any rate, he planned; and his Is the portion that Is the sim plest and strongest of It all. No marble was used anywhere In the palace, which was wholly of French workmanship and Provencal design, with the square towers which mainly differentiate that school from the round-towered style of the French kings which Is so massively exhibited in the contemporary Fort St. Andre Just across the river. The deeply carved machicolations, still to be seen here and there and originally placed on every tower and wall, had only Just been Introduced by the end of the fourteenth century. Those on the great facade are the largest In the world, 'sometimes two yards In length by 18 Inches deep, sufficient to burl down timbers that could swe?p a dosen storming ladders off the wall or crush a whole company of sappers. The only luxury observable in the palace was to be found in fta Interior furniture, which has wholly Mlsap* peared. Nothing hut tho solidity and imposing strength Of Its exterior walls remain to hint at what Frolssart so much admired. The old pontifical chapel of John XXII, enlarged by Benedict XII and since restored, is now tho reposi tory of the archives of tho province, and forms the extreme northern lino of buildings between the Tour de Troulllas at the northeastern corner and the Tour de la Ounpunc at the northwest. "Benedict's work was built above the older structure, originally the parish church of St. Stephen, by l'lerre Poisson of Mlrcpoix in 1335. For Home time It was turned to the base uses of a common gaol, and it was Revoll who designed its present barrel-vault at a height from the ground which Is equivalent to that of the two original buildings one above the other. Their frescoes by l'lerre du Puy have all disappeared ; but we* know that his workmen were paid four shillings a day <4f our money, while he had nearly 20; and that their colors were white, green, sky blue, Indigo blue, vermilion, sufYron, uml so forth, laid on with white of egg, with olive oil and linseed oil, and garnished with fine gold. In 1336 Benedict XII finished the tiling of the floors, and some re mains of them are preserved In the Musee Calvet In the town. This chapel wns not used for more than 30 years, and was gravely damnged by fire In 1392. Its place was taken by the far more splendid building of Clement VI on the south side of the mala court yard. Tour De? Anges. Returning to the courtyard we find In the Tour des Anges, ut the angle of the eastern wall, one of the best pre served of all Benedict's buildings. It was originally entered from the in terior of the palacg only, and the steep slope of the rock outside enabled the architect to build two more stories there than are visible from the court yard. It forms a building 40^ meters high on the plan of a perfect square, with a strong buttress pillar at each angle and walls more than ten feet thick and nearly 00 feet long. ItJ? cellars contained the pope's private stock of wine. Above the wine cellar was the lower treasury, with its four pointed vaults resting on a cientral pillar without base or capital, all strongly guarded by huge locks and ironbound doors. Immediately above thin was Bene dict XII's bedroom, which was used by Clement VII In 1370, and called the "Chamber of the Flying 8tag," from one of the many frescoes still discover able beneath multitudinous layers of military whitewash. Two windows with stone seats In their embrasures look out over the entrance court, and by a third you see across the valley of the Rhone to the blue shadows of the distant Alps. Several of the secret stairways, carved In the thickness of the walls, by which the Pope reached various parts of his palace, can still be clearly traced. Above his holiness was a library filled with precious manuscripts, and higher still Is a larger apartment from which soldiers could defend the whole tower against attack, called the chatelet. Thin tow er, the work of Pierre Polsson, may be taken as typical of the rest, and was two years in the building from April 23, 1385. The roof was paid for on March 18, 1337. On the left of the spectator, and continuing the east wing of the conr? yard toward the north, are the other private apartments of the Pope, de signed by Bernard Canelle of Nap bonne. The appalling reconstruction* necessitated by the barrack* have al most entirely destroyed the original conception, but the minute details re corded in the Vatican are more than sufficient to replace Canelle'S design in good time. This comprised the Pope's private kitchen and wsrdrdbe, his dining room, his study and his ora tory. Behind it, and in the angle af the Tonr des Anges, la the little 7o*r des Ktuves, where his holinesk took bis bath, above the ehamberLtin'e DR. R. E. STEVENSON DKNTI8T Crocker HuJNtlng Camden, & V.
