Some peculiar facts are being brought
out by the twelfth census concerning
the counties, says the New York Sun.
For instance, the shortest name of a
county Is l, In Oklahoma, while the
longest is Saint John the Baptist, q
parish in Louisiana. Nebraska. had q
county named L'Eau qui Court, but the
people had 1t changed to plain Knox
In 1873, since which time 1t has grown
from rs to 14,343. Vernon county.
Wisconsin, was formerly known as Bad
Axe. Minnesota once named county
Toombs, then changed 1t to Andy
Johnson. and now it appears as VIII
kins. North Dakota boasted county
called Gin Grass. but 1t was changed
to Wells. Twenty-six states have hon.
ored Washington with county bear
Ing his name; twenty-one states have
Jefferson and Jackson county; Lin
coin appears In sixteen states. Mon
tana has the county with the largest
area, Custer, which covers 20.490
square miles; the second largest Is San
Bernardina county, California, with
19.947 square miles. Both counties are
larger than either Maryland, Massa-
chusetts. Connecticut. Delaware. New
Hampshire. New Jersey. Rhode Island
or Vermont. The smallest county Is
Bristol, Rhode Island. which has only
twenty-five square miles, and Alex
andria county. Virginia. is next, with
thirty-two square miles. Texas has
245 counties. the largest number. Del
aware has three counties. and Rhode
Island five. Wyoming and Arizona
have the unlucky number Of thir-
teen each. Texas covers 265, $50
square miles. and is not half SO large
as Alaska, which has 590.SS4 square
miles. Montana comes next to Texas
in size and has 146.0S0 square miles.
The District of Columbia covers the
smallest area of any division-seventy
square miles. There are several coun-
ties lost. strayed or stolen. Nothing
has been heard from Mankanta county,
Minnesota. since 1850. when 1t had a
population Of 1858. Wahnata county.
in the same state, disappeared about
the same time with population OF
two more than the other. Carson
county, Nevada. has been missing since
1860. Among the other counties which
have disappeared are one OF the Daw-
son counties, in Texas; Cedar county.
Utah. and Lyons county. Nebraska.

have often been asked as to what
thought of the relative merits of the
Beers and British as soldiers, says
Adelbert s. Hay. United States consul
at Pretoria. in Golfers Weekly. My
opinion is worth very little. but from
what have seen can form an esti-
mate. or the British. both men and
officers too much cannot be said. The
British officer. II seems to me. is at
times foolishly brave. That is to say,
he Is impressed with the necessity of
inspiring his men and showing con-
tempt for death or danger. 1t has
often been said that this Is magnif-
cent, but II is not war. am not quite
sure that l agree as to that. When
the man ip the ranks knows that his
officer Is not shirking and that he has
no fear OF consequences. 1t makes him
courageous and inspires him to do his
best. The English soldier is piucky.
logged and usually contented. / do
not think he has the adaptability Of
the American soldier. but he imprexses
me very favorably. The Boer. Of
course. has the advantage over the
Britisher-as l think he would have
over the soldiers Of any nation In the
world-of being = natural born shot.
From infancy the Boer has been hunt
Ing big game and has been accustomed
to the use Of firearms. Distances on
the veldt are extremely deceptive ow-
Ing to the atmospheric conditions. and
It 10 dificult for 4 man not trained to
that form Of outdoor life to be able to
accurately determine the range. The
Boer. on the other hand. having al
ways led the life OF hunter with a
kecnly trained eye. has his adversary
nt n disadvantage. That explains why
In the principal engagements the loss
OF life on the British side was 30 heavy
and the casualties among the Beers
comparatively few. The British In
fantryman is probably as good a
marksman rs can be found In any
other army. but he is hopelessly out
classcd nv against the Boer.
