SMALLER FARMING.

send you an article clipped from the Ty-
Ter (Tex.) Record, which, l think, pretty
well covers everything with reference to a
certain need in Texas. In my opinion the
farmers of Texas would make much moro
money for themselves We're they to reduce
their acreage and farm better. T.. L.
Tyler, Tex.
We have long been taking that same po-
sition. Extensive but imperfect farming is
certainly less profitable than more con-
centrated effort on a smaller acreage. The
article sent says in substance that it now
seems to be a notion quite generally pre-
vailing among the well informed agricultur-
lists that, as a rule, American farmers are
attempting to farm on too large scale for
their means. They have more on their
hands than they can attend to properly.
One has only to look about over the country
to have himself convinced of this fact 1t
is not a thing confined to Texas, but one
meets with everywhere, especially in the
states of the South. The agricultural ed
itor of the Memphis Appeal-Ava-
lanche is onto it, and in
late editorial he says the small farmer
everywhere is generally doing better than
the large farmer. That this is true may be
easily proved by inquiring into the relative
prosperity of the forty-acre farmer and the
100-acre farmer in your neighborhood.z
Which is burdened with the least debt in
proportion to the total value of his land!
Which is procuring the best profit upon his
capital and the largest money yield per
acrel And which gets the most satisfaction
out of the business of Agricultural One
grand reason why farming don't pay better
as a whole than it has been paying, lies in
the fact that many Of our farmers are too
grasping as regards land. They are trying
to work too much land, and as a conse-
quence are working no land we'll
We, and particularly we of the South,
must have new agriculture, so to speak,
and that new agriculture must be on good
common sense. We must learn to work no
more Land than we can work to entire per-
lection. We must furthermore learn to
keep no more livestock than we can keep.
well. The effort to maintain one head more
than this may destroy the profit of all. We
must learn not to store perishable produce
Rats and mice can soon counter balance the
gain, even if it comes, and if the rats and
mice do not, then the interest may; and
then again, the rise may never come An
other item is that stock is matured when
ever it will sell at the top Of the market.
After that point is reached you may easily
make gain in weight st loss of profit.
'Quick sales is as good an axiom for the
farmer as for the merchant The small
farmer is more apt to make these quick
sales than is the large farmer, and hence
his comparative gain on the amount Of
money invested in operations.
We fully indorse every word Of this. The
days of extensive farming are practically
over, owing to the fact that the profits on
the large farm can no longer be made to
successfully compete with those Of the
small farm. The small farm is mainly man
aged by its owner, who does large proper

rh. Manufaoture of mirrors.


Early in the Sixteenth century a manu-
factory of glass mirrors was first estab-
lished on "a commercial scale in Venice
and the republic enjoyed monopoly of
this profitable business for $50 years.
The makers of looking glasses formed an
important corporation among them
selves and were allowed unusual priv
ileges. This process was to blow cylin-
ders of glass, which were afterward fat
tened upon a stone, carefully polished
and silvered on the back with an ANAL
gam. In this way quite large ones were
produced, sometimes measuring as much
as four feet in length.
The secret was carefully guarded and
the laws were enforced which declared
that any workmen at the trade who car
ried his art to foreign state must return
upon requisition on penalty of imprison,
ment for his nearest relatives. IF, not
withstanding this penalty, he refused to
return, emissaries were sent to kill him.
Nevertheless, in 1865 Colbert, at that
time prime minister of France, imported
| from Venice twenty makers of looking
| glasses, who set up their business in the
Fauberg ST. Antoine.
Before long the French mirrors excell
ed the Venetian, and fresh impulse was
given to the art in 1891 by the discovery
of process for making plate glass
From that time to this the looking glasses
made in France have been the best II

THE OLD STAGE DOOR.

rTis up little alleyway,
Where dust and darkness reign.
With all the kindred mysteries
That follow in their train.
The tragic and the comic blend,
Just as they did of yore;
Look out, or else you'll tumble
At the old stage door.
The paint that once bedecked it
Has vanished long ago,
Like that ON many q footlight queen
Whose smile we used to know.
Whose voice has long been silent,
Whose face is seen no more,
When play and song are ended
At the old stage door.
The chosen few who enter now
Are faces new and strange;
For those we knew have passed away
With Times relentless change.
All, well, we'll veil with laughter
The tears that vex us sore,
As we turn away heart heavy
From the old stage door.

bottom of the ocean. After giving long
and careful attention to this matter,
Lieutenant-C Commander Glover has de-
vised a system by which soundings will
be taken at intervals of one and two miles
alternately. except when shoals are dis
covered, when soundings will be taken
every quarter of a mile, or even less, if
necessary. This plan viii be employed
by the Thetis.
The Tuscarora in 1875 found a shoal or
submarine mountain in latitude $50
north, longitude 1920 30 west. AT this
point near the California COAST depth
of 2,2S2 fathoms, ranged rapidly upward
to 3S8 fathoms. The Tuscarora found
along the coast of Japan, at some points
there being depth of more than five
miles. A piano wire, having length of
five miles, was lowered, but failed to
touch bottom.
Admiral Belknap, in an article in a
Japan paper giving a description of his
survey work, doubts whether a cable
could be laid in such great depths. But a
more feasible route might possibly have
been found within one hundred miles
north or south of the point where this
sounding was made.
Mr.. Glover says that the piano wire is
admirably adapted for this work, and
will be used by the Thetis. On the end
of the wire will be an iron plummet. so
arranged that the very moment it touches
bottom it will become detached, and the
relaxation of the wires tension however
slight, is recorded on a delicate inStru-
ment on the ships deck. An iron cup is
also attached to the end of the wire, and
this brings up handful of sand, gravel,
or whatever formation lies at the bottom.

THE LUCERNE MEMORIAL.
DENOUNCED AS AN INSULT TO
AMERICAN NATIONALISM.
The Attack of Foreigners Upon the
Church of America Killed From
Its Own Audacity.
Special to the REcoRD.usros.

ST. PAUL, June 4.-Since the prblica-
cation of his interview of few days ago.
regarding Cahensley's Lucernem emorial,
the Archbishop has had many kilograms
and letters of Endorsement of his views.
To-day in an interview with an Asso-
ciated Press correspondent, he talked
further on the subject.
He says: 'As the details of the plot
are unfolded, the indignation of Ameri-
cans, Catholic or Protestant, cannot but
grow in intensity. The whole proceed
ing is an insult to American nationalism,
and reveals the fact that certain Euro
peans imagine America to be a sort OF
African Congo, without autonomy of its
own, and incapable of life without con-
slant application of European galvanic
batteries. Catholics are mortified that
their religion is made the occasion and
pretense Of this insolent foreign inter-
meddling. Strange news, indeed, for
American ears to hear that Austrian and
Prussian ambassadors in Rome have
been instructed by their home Govern
ment TO bring to bear upon the Vatican
their influence in aid of Herr Cahensley's
plan of campaign.
The contagion spreads, to an extent
that compels a smile of amusement in
the midst of our anger. We find Mon
sieur MERCER, Minister of the Province
of Quebec, a colony of England, running
to the Vatican and praying, in the name
of his little constituency, that Canadian
Bishop be named for the See of Ogdens-
burg, in the State of New York. We can
easily picture further extension of this
foreign ambition to rule Catholic affairs
In America, and in few years the eccle-
siastical maps of the country would show
fingerings of every foreign principality
whose en1igrants choose to seek our
shores,
This attack of foreignism upon sthe
Church in America, however, is killed
from its own audacity. So long as it
worked stealthily by secret embassies
and back-door entrances, it was danger
Gus and was doing harm. It has now en-
tered into open combat, and the outcome
will be most favorable to the Church and
country.
81 have seen an official denial of the
representative of the Deutsch- Amerikan-
fischer Priester Verein. or German cleri-
cal society of America, disclaiminp all
knowledge of the Cahensley memorial.
What he will not deny is that the Cahens-
ley memorial Is nearly, word for word
the document which the German priests
of st. Louis, founders of the verein, sent
to Rome IN 1856, nor will he deny that q
few days ago the An.e75kd, paper which
is fed on verein food, declared openly that
it will ceaselessly work for Cahensley's
programme. Whatever of the letter. the
spirit of the Cahensley movement
thriveS in the halls of the verein, and the
yerein is an exotic to which the American
air is the most uncongenial."

A GIGANTIC DEAL.
The Whisky Trust Now Control the
DistiIleries of the West.

Inc whisky Trust Now Control the
Distilleries of the West.
CHICAGO, June A gigantic deal, ne
gotiations toward which have been car
ried on for the past week, was consum-
mated this evening at the Auditorium
Hotel. BY papers which were signed the
whisky trust has at last acquired out
right the only remaining important anti
trust establishment in the West-the
great Chicago distilleries owned by
Shuefeldt q Co. and the Calumet Distil-
ling Company.
The Shuefeldt Distillery is the one
partly burned yesterday, and for the at
tempted blowing up of which by dyna-
mite some weeks ago, George j, Gibson.
Secretary Of the whisky trust, is now I'M
der Indictment.
1t is thought by many that the transac-
ton may materially affect the Gibson
case by removing any vindictive feeling
toward him entertained by the Shue-
feldts. The news of the purchase was a
surprise, although rumors, which were
denied by the owners of the purchased
d1stllleries, had been persistently in cir
culatlon. A number of the largest stock
holders in the trust have been in the
city during the progress of the negotia-
tons, which, with great secrecy, have
been carried on in President Greenhut's
rooms. The sales of both plants included
the real estate, machinery, patents, etc.
In connection with the purchase the
whisky trust directors discfaim any in
tention to advance the price. They abso-
lutely refuse to give the purchase prices,
merely stating that the purchase was for
cash, and at figure alike satisfactory to
the sellers and buyers. The price is,
however, known to have been fully com
mensurate with the gigantic character of
the properties purchased, probably in
volving the transfer of about 81, zoo, 900.

Bond had no authority to negotiate in
any other way than through him. Blaine
SAID that 1t did not appear necessary TO

to give the United States the privileges
they enjoyed by their own action, and
they proposed not only to give bait to

pears that Sir Julien's telegram about
Mr.. Blaine's desire to postpone the con-
ference did not reach Sir Charles in time.
and he had no intimation of it till the
delegates reached Washington. Mr..
Blaine at the meeting then expressed
regret at their failure to receive the mes
sage. He said the President was
extremely anxious to be in Wash
lngtOn during the negotiations,
and requested that they be de-
ferred until later date, as he had made

changed for an immediate visit to the
West, and Blaine also mentioned that
the President said as there would be no

also exciting great interest among physi-

The child is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Adolph Zuker, and was born two weeks

father and mother are good specimens of
humanity physically. Their sight is
normal, and neither has ever worn
glasses. Where the eyes should be there
are only two sunken hollows. The eye
lids were then closed as tight as if they
were glued together. Otherwise the
child was perfectly developed.
A few days afterward a line began to
make its appearance across the holIows.
as though the lids were getting ready to
part. The line began to expand until
finally the lids could be parted with the
fingers, disclosing sightless sockets, in
the center of which could be discerned a
tiny blue spot, which is supposed to have
been substituted by nature for the pupils
of ordinary size.
