Verestchagin, the Russian painter OF
war scenes, who went down with the
Petropavlovsk at Port Arthur, was in
the lar east to paint battles and was the
guest of Admiral Makaroff. He was
one OF the worlds greatest painters. He
painted war scenes with the idea of
showing up the horrors of warfare, and
succeeded. He was awarded the Nobel
peace prize for the work which the
swedish academy recognized his realis-
tic pictures were doing in the cause of
peace.
Verestchagin was born in 1912 at
Tehereporets, in Novgorod, Russia. The
son OF Russian landed proprietor, he
was sent to a naval academy when eight
years old and graduated at the age of
II years. Instead of entering the mill
tary service he went to Paris and studied
art under Gerome.A In 1867 he went
through the Turkoman campaign with
Kaufman, participating in all the en-
gagements, that he might know what
war really was before he attempted to

Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who has been

Admiral Makaroh at Port Arthur, en-
tered the Russian naval service In 1862
at the age Of 18 years. AS a Junior ofa-
Ger he first distinguished himself In the
Turkish campaign of 1877. He was then
lieutenant of the nava! guards, who.
sail principally on imperial yachts. He
undertook day torpedo attack on q
Turkish man of war, employing 4 steel
launch which had been transformer into
torpedo boat. He had with him Ensign
Niloff, now q rear Admiral in the Rus

guards. There also was with him at
that time the artist Verestchagin, who
went as volunteer and who is reported
to have gone down with the battleship
Petropavlovsk at Port Arthur.
Skrydloff was unsuccessful in the tor

and for personal bravery. He was shot

Among the students of political his
tory the article by Henry Norman, in
the May Century. on 1.-THE Mother of
Parliaments' is attracting wide atten-
ton. Mr.. Norman talks Interestingly
about the British house of commons.
What he has to say about the speakers
of that body is particularly interesting.
1t Is doubtless, he writes, because the
position of speaker is so onerous that
the rewards attached to it are so great.
He is originally member of parlia-
ment, like the rest, and is selected by
the leader Of the house, who is not nee
essarily the prime minister, from
among his own followers for his per-
sonal character and dignity and his
knowledge of parliamentary procedure.
He is usually elected unanimously by
vote OF the house, and from that mo-
ment he ceases to be party man, and
his constituency is divided In it's feel
ings between the honor of returning the
speaker and the disadvantage of being,
for all practical purposes, unrepresented
in parliament.
The speaker Of the house of commons
is person enjoying the greatest official
dignity and social consideration. He.is
the first commoner in the realm; his
Invitations to dinner are almost equiv
alent to royal command; court dress
is worn by members who dine with him
officially; in the house he is treated
with extreme Difference, and he receives
salary of $4,000, and the use of mag
nifcent house, which forms part of the
palace of Westminster. He retains Of

ment. Then the sovereign bestows
peerage upon him, and the country a
muniticent pension.
The house Of commons has been sim
gularly fortunate in securing for speak
ers men OF great dignity, unfailing judg-
ment and unquestioned impartiality,
and never more so than at present in
the person of Right Hon. William Court
Gully, member for bennington, a lib
eral before he was raised above all
party ties. 1t is splendid position,
and, though its intellectual demands are
unceasing and its merely physical de-
mands exhausting, it is splendidly re-

Hunter Kicked by a Moose.

One of the hunters treasures which
Charles Linklater, the trapper from Bal
sam bay, brought with him from the
north to Winnipeg, is mammoth moose
hide entire. The animal was shot by
L-nklater and will be long remembered
by him. 1t was an enormous brute, and
when it fell at the shot the trapper ran
up to give it finishing touch with the
knife. AS he stopped to do so the beast
struck him viciously in the stomach
with its hoof. Linklater fell back un-
conscious, and he was taken to camp by
his pals. He was severely injured in

He took part in the campaign of the
Caucasus and the Russo-Turkish war,
and was in the hottest of the fighting at
Plevna. He painted cycle of 20 paint
1ngs OF the Russo-Turkish war, a similar
cycle on India, and another on the Span
ish-American war. In the Philippines
he camped with Gems. Macarthur and
Lawton, and the best known of his Phil
ippine pictures is "Lawton's Last
Fight" Another picture famous in
America is ''The Charge of Roosevelt
Rough Riders at San JUAN" The real
ism Of his pictures was illustrated at
Buffalo, where the horror expressed, in
the figure of a single soldier caused a
mother with a son in the Philippines to
swoon.
Verestchagin visited the United States
several times, first in 1888, and in De-
cember, 1901, an exhibition of his pic
lures was held in Chicago. While there
that winter he occupied the pulpit of
All Souls Independent church, and
preached a sermon on war, whose effect
on society he compared to the effect of
an ever opening and ever recurring
wound upon the body of a human being.
Verestchagin also painted wars and
historical scenes which took place be-
fore his birth and centuries back, and
these pictures alone would have made
him famous, notably his series repre-
senting Napoleon's retreat from Mos
COW. His painting of the crucifixion of
Christ is one of the most famous pictures
of that tragedy of history.

Robley D. Evans was born in 1886, in
Virginia. He was appointed to the naval
academy in September, 1860.
At the end of three years he left the
academy before having been graduated
and was ordered to duty with the squad
rons operating along the southern
coast
Among other fights, Evans figured in
both attacks on Fort Fisher. In the last
battle he received two severe wounds,
and was relegated to the hospital. The
surgeons examined his leg. 1T will
have to be amputated," they said.
That didn't suit young Evans. He
concluded that he still had some use for
that leg, and determined to assert his
proprietary rights. Through some
means or other he secured big navy
pistol, and when the surgeons came
back with their instruments he was
ready for them. One hand was hanging
down behind his cot.
what are you going to do ?" he asked.
''I'm afraid we shall have to amputate
your leg" replied the chief surgeon,
reaching for his instruments.
Like a flash young Evans right arm
came into view, and sawbones found
himself gazing into the muzzle of an
ugly-looking pistol.
Drop that knife, D. you'll" ex-
claimed the patient.
The order was obeyed
"Now, I just want a word with you
fellows" continued young Evans. "That
leg doesn't come off. Do you under
stand? The first one of you who makes
a move to take it off will get load of
lead"
And he carried the day. The leg
didn't come off. 1t knit rapidly, and the
wounds healed under proper treatment
He carries limp to this day, but he
saved his leg. and that's the main
thing.

Louise Michel, who is reported to be
dying of consumption in Toulo4 at the
age of "a, was asked once by French
statesman what she would do if the
presidency of the French republic were
offered her.

"Red Virgin" answered. '"Then l

The New York World correspondent
says that before the French public
knew her as the Joan of Arc of the
commune, she was teacher in a
boarding school at Clermont, in the
Haute-Marne When the directress of
the school retired the curate of a
neighboring village, Able Marechal,
who appreciated her highly asa teach
err, raised a fund of $4,000 to put her
at the head Of the school.
In those days Louise Michel was an
ardent Catholic. When Archbishop
SiDour was assassinated she wrote
some verses demanding in behalf of
France, and in the name of the Virgin
Mary, what Paris meant by making
martyrs of her citizens
Some time later she became free in
structress at Montmartre, in Paris.
During the siege she gathered all the
little ragamuffins she could find under
her wing and taught them. She and
they adored one another. She was no
longer an ardent Catholic. She had
come under the influence of Ferre.
Although no one has ever been

he took the aged woman to the Holland

The advertisement of the loss of the
jewels said liberal reward would be

wanting payment.

Afterward she lived in London for a
