The Rome Tribune says that Dr. H.
V. M. Miller, who is at present in Rome,
has a high respect for General Clement
A. Evans, and speaks of him in the most
affectionate terms, Said he:
“A gentleman who was in the army
told me a significant thing. He says
that whenever they camped in the neigh
borhood of Federal troops Evans’ bri
gade was always put between the camp
and the enemy. ‘We knew,’ said he,
‘that Evans would never sleep and would
not be deceived or taken by surprise.’
«That incident illustrates his charac
ter,” continued Dr. Miller, “and I feel
that if he is put on guard at the capitol
he will not be deceived or caught nap
ping. He knows enough to do things
right, and I have the utmost confidence
in his integrity.”
DUN’T?NLARGE IT.
There seems to be a very general de
sire on the part of the farmers of this
country to obtain a larger gnantity of
land. There are cases in which this is
a wisL ambition, but such instances are
not as common as the wish to obtain
larger farms. Under the present condi
tions of agriculture our farmers, as a
rule, already have more land than they
can cultivate to the best advantage.
As things are now, and as they are
likely to be for a long time to come, says
the American Farmer, the profits of
farming are to be increased by securing
larger crops per acre rather than by till- |
ing a 'arger number of acres. Most of
the farmers who wish that they had more
land now own considerable areas which
have not yet been brought nearly up to
their limit of profitable procuction. In
‘these cases the owners will find it more
profitahle to manure their present fields
more liberally and cultivate them more
thoroughly than it will be to spread their
work overja large namber of acres.
The expense of conducting a large
business, and the risk which it involves,
will be much greater than will be the
case with one of less magnitude. Itisa
popular theory that the proportion of
expense decreases as a business is enlarg
ed. Regarding some things, and even in
some hines of farming, this proves true,
but multitudes of farmers who have
tested it have not found the theory cor
rect when applied to their business as a
whole. The fixed charges, such as taxes
and fencing (and interest on the capital
invested should also be included), are
enlarged considerably when the size of
the farm is increased. If all the land
upon which these expenses are laid is
kept highly productive the charges may
be paid and still leave a good profit.
But if, as is almost sure to be the case, a
i’ good deal of the land falls far below its
| posssible rate of production these costs
will bear heavily, and, when added to
those of the original farm, may prove
quite embarrassing.
A great many men who can manage a
small or medium business profitably can
not be nearly as successful in conducting
operations on a much larger scale. Nu
merous instances might be cited of farm
ers who have done well on small farms,
but who, by getting more land under
cultivation, have increased both their
expenses and their anxieties, while their
profits have been reduced.
The exceptions to the rule that farms
of moderate size are much more desira
ble than those which are very large are
very few. In almost every case the man
who has money that he wishes to invest
in enlarging his farm would use his cap
ital far more wisely by putting it into
improvements and rendering more pro
ductive the land that he already owns.
The man who has a farm but has no
ready money will take a great risk in
buying more land. Under such circum
stances the purchase of a larger area will
involve years of hard labor and a great
amount of care and worry. It will sub
ject him to numerous inconveniences
and troubles which debt always brings
and may compel him to sacrifice not
only his own happiness but also the best
interests of his family. Such a man may
want many things, but if he is wise he
will resist the temptation to buy more
land.

Yyour Best Young Man.
¢ You can’t always just tell what your
best young man is going to develop in
to,’’ said the girl in the blue jacket.
“Now, I know a young man, and wheu
I first met him I said to myself: ‘At
last! Here he is! A real live man
without a fad.” And I was happy in
the thought that he wouldn’t talk foot
ball or theosophy to me. But it didn’t
take me long to find out my mistake.
Of all the fads I ever heard of that
man’s fad is the very worst.
**He does tricks with cards and can
juggle things,” continued the girl in
the blue jacket, as her eyes grew bright
and her cheeks pinkish. ‘‘ At luncheons
he fishes his handkerchief out of my
muft and finds his gloves in my jacket
pocket. If you hand him a glass of water,
he’ll turn 1t upside down and ask you
blandly why the water doesn’t run out.
At home he makes life miserable for me.
and when he goes away I callin the
girl and have her sweep up the rem
nants of the teacups that he breaks.
He balances parasols, guitars, vases—
in fact, everything that he can find—on
the end of his nose. I can’t do any
thing with him. I am trying very hard
to make him angry so he’ll quit call
ing, but he is so absurdly good natured
that I fear I shall never succeed.’”’—St.
Louis Republic.
odd Definition of Segmental Wire Gun.
DEAR Siß—l beg to call your atten
tion to the remarkable reply made by the
editor of The Broad Arrow in the issue
of that paper of Sept. 23 to an inquiry
regarding the ‘' Brown regimental wire
gun’’ (sic), page 401, to wit:
““The Brown gun is an American in
vention, and ‘regimental wire gun’ is
an Americanism which we take to mean
a gun to accompany a regiment or bat
talion in the field. —Ed. B. A.”
The Brown segmental wire gun is so
called because the tube is made of seg
mental shaped bars of steel, around
which the wire is wound, or wrapped.
at a tension. The gun is 5 inch cal
iber and 44 calibers long. Its working
pressure is said to be 50,000 pounds
per square inch. It could be used as ‘‘a
gun to accompany a battalion in the
field’’ only by the horse marines. Per
haps the editor of the Broad Arrow
had that gallant body in mind.—New
port (R. L) Cor. London Truth.

The Rise of the Cid.
There is one fact which makes the
name of Fernando remembered to all
time, for in his reign was born at Bur
gos Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar, known as
the famous Capitano, the Cid Campea
dor. Beside the glittering vision of San
tiago, the tutelary saint of Spain, in
white armor, waving celestial banners,
rises the image of the Cid. Incased in
steel, he sits proudly astride of his good
horse Babieca, a close casque on his
head, under which a pair of all seeing
eyes gaze fiercely out, giving expression
to the strongly marked features of a
thin, long face, with wildly flying
beard.
His scimiter hangs at hisside, and at
his waist, encircled by a leathern thong,
the formidable sword, Tizona, he alone
can wield. A loose white garment of
kilt floats out from under his armor,
metal buskins are on his legs, and he is
shod in steel. Thus he appears, with
mighty action, an aureole of power
about him not to be put in words, ‘‘the
Cid,” or ‘‘master’’—the terror of the
Moors, the scourge of traitorous kings,
marking an epoch and a principle, lift
ing him out of the confused chivalry of
the Goths and standing out clear from
shifting details into the light of day.
Now he is battling with the Christian
king, then he is making alliance with
the Moors, when banished, on his own
account—to his own advantage ever—
“Por murzar,”’ as he said (to eat). For
in the midst of all his glory the Cid
was practical at heart, and at all times,
be it owned, a sad ruffian, though ever
tender to his own.—**oOld Court Life In
Spain.”’
A Foreign Fancy.
A letter from Homburg, the Anglo-
Teutonic spa, says that the latest fad
‘among the fashionable belles there is
the wearing of a jeweled watch on the
outside wrist of a glove, fastened in the
same way as in a cardcase. All the
elegantes carry their timepieces on the
left wrist in this way, and the effect is
‘rather pretty.
Behind the Age.
A bill to permit women to attend the
state normal school of Georgia was de
feated 1n the legislature of that state.
Women are also prohibited from teach
ing in that institution. Georgia is
about 100 years behina the age.—Roch
ester Democrat and Chronicle.
