 Rev. B. F. Chapman, all aged retired Baptist minister of Andovcr, was one of thirteen children. He was born on the 18th of the month. His wife and three of his children were also born on the 18th of the month. When I3 y ars of age he, with his fathers family, moved from Preston to North StOnington and became near neighbOrs to two families, each con- sisting of thirteen children. During the war he invested $ 300 in per cont gold bonds, all he had at the time, and later going to Willimantic to increase his in vestment he found a broker who had just $ i 300 of the samo kind of bonds, which he purchased. He sold the gold interest first paid on his bonds for 13 per cent. premium. When he came 10 AnlOver he applied at the post-of1lce for box and found them all rented but No. 13, which he secured. On his first visit to the Bap- tist church he was seated ill pew 13 by an usher, and has ever since held tie same pew, although the numbers have all be- removed.

lChicago Record.l

Herbert Vos, the Dutch artist, who
gained much fame by his pictures at
the Worlds Fair, and will be pleas
antly remembered by the people of
Chicago, is just now finishing strik-
ing portraits of Senator Brice and Mrs.
Olney. His picture of Secretary Oh

deal of attention. Mr.. Vos will spend
the summer in New York and New
port, where he has several commits
sions, and next fall will leave for a
tour of the world for the purpose of
securing material for a unique exhibit
at the Paris exhibition of 1900. He
proposes to visit the Pacific islands,
Japan, China, India and other Asiatic
countries, Australia and the East In
dies to paint a series of portraits rep
resenting the types of native beauty,
both men and women. He will begin
with the Hawaiian islands and go
from there to Samoa, New Zealand
and Australia, returning by New
Guinea, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Cey-
Ion, the PHILIPPINE Islands to China
and Japna. He will select for his sub
jects the most beautiful women he can
find in each of these countries and
men who have been distinguished IN
politics, literature, art, military or
commercial affairs and represent the
highest development of the native
races.

MODERN YlRFaRE.


1t has been an easily accepted theory
that the new weapons of war would
make fighting so disastrous that there
wouldn't be much. of it. 1t is interest
ing to see what can be said against the
idea that when fully equipped armies
fight there must necessarily be great
loss OF life. Colonel It. N. Maude, a
British military engineer declares that
the records OF the last three centuries
prove such an idea to be utterly unjus-
titled. The losses in battle have de-
pended primarily on the quality of the
troops, and have been small until-as
at Waterloo or in the closing engage
ments in the civil war in the United
States-the men have become thorough
ly trained in war. The worlds armies
have to-day no war-seasoned VET
Grams to spread destruction greater
than has hitherto been known. I'M
provements in weapons, moreover, has
actually tended to diminish the risk,
as fighting must now be done at a
greatly increased range, and the per-
lection of the modern rifle makes neces-
sary great precision of aim, whereas
the inaccuracy of the old musket-at
200 yards instead Of 500 or 1,000-cor-
rected the error in aim in large pro-
portion of the shots fired Mathemati-
cal calculation shows, in fact, that one
thousand times as many rounds would
be necessary now to produce the effect
of the leaden storm that devastated
the old British line in Peninsular days,
while our guns fire only five times as
fast. Still another factor that would
tend to reduce bloodshed in a modern
conflict is the lack of excitement at long
range, and the consequent greater ner-
vous strain this would induce,
This is interesting and plausible. But
when the experiment is actually tried,
as it may soon be, the truth will ap-
pear,

many of my neighbors There was an
English clement in the place, but the
french of course predominated, and it
was with the Frenchmen I usually
found myself. The man with whom I
fought was a Provencal, born close by.
He was big, struggling fellow, lean,
and with bright birds eye that was
always glittering on you. He was a
gentleman undoubtedly, had been edu-
Gated in Marseilles, and had never
wandered fifty miles from the Riviera
coast. He was probably the most mar
row minded man that ever lived and.
on a diet OF books and An2lophobe
newspapers, he had imbibed a blind
and poisonous hatred for the British
nation that was unique in it's complete

up in me.
