RoUMANIAN FARMS ARE SMALL

There are a million farms in Rou
mania and only a few thousand larg,
ones; but the few big land owners.
have more land than the many small
ones. The average size of the mil.
lion small farms is eight acres
while that Of the All large ones il,
1900 acres, says the National Geo,
graphic magazine. With SO many
small farms naturally a prolific
farming population has little money
to buy machinery, and must be con,
tent with the ways and methods OF
past generations. In times Of peace
the W%allachians go into Hungary by
the tens of thousands to help With
the sowing and reaping.

GREAT ASSET IS ACCURACY
Employers Are Always in Need Of the
Services Of Men With Sharp
Eyes.

Accuracy is not a faculty. 1t is .
habit. A man can school himself to
ook at things with a sharp, clear
.ye, and to remember what he sees
without anything being omitted Or
added. He becomes habitrhlly accu-
:ate, and without any special effort.
On the other hand, men of loose
perceptions and careless habits find
it almost impossible to be accurate.
no matter how hard they try, OBJ
serves the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle. An idea of the value and
method Of accuracy may be gained
from the following advice given by
Ruskin on the simple matter Of read
ing a book:
"You must get in the habit Of
looking intensely at words, and as
sure yourself Of their meaning. syl-
liable by syllable-nay, letter by let
ter. You might read all the books
in the British museum, if you could
live long enough, and remain an ut
terly i%lliterate, uneducated person;
but if you read ten pages Of a good
book letter by letter-that is to say,
with real accuracy-you are forever
more in some measure an educated
person."
Young men and women who must
earn their living ought to realize
how much the habit of accuracy adj
vances them in the estimation Of
their employers. A person may lack
brilliancy, but if, within his limita.
tons, he is absolutely reliable, he
will always find somebody who needs
his services. Perhaps it might be
truthfully said that nothing aston.
ishes an employer like a man o.
woman who can be depended on t.
do certain work with perfect accu.
racy.

HERE IS REAL LUCKY STONE"
Owner Is Justified In Belief That Il
Has Saved the Lives Of Two
That Owned It.

George F. Kunz relates this little
story of a lucky stone and the adj
ventures of its owners:
"Scme years ago a meteorite was
given to Edward Heron Allen, the
famous writer on pa!mistry and the
violin, and this gifted man always
wore it about him. One morning he
awakened to find that the entire roof
above him had fallen in, except just
that portion I'VE his bed.
HE told the story to one of the
best-known ladies in Boston, one
who is known for her public spirit,
her love Of art and her faultless man
ner OF entertaining. This lady sue
cessfully urged Allen to give her the
meteorite.
"a few days later, while out driv-
ing, a great truck with two runaway
horses attached to it struck her car
riase. 1nstinctively she raised her
mutt to protect her face. The muf
was almost cut in two but the lady
was not hurt. A few days later,
while she was walking under some
scaffolding, it fell, and the open part
where the hoists went up proved to
be just where she stood. Although
surrounded by ruin, she remained
unframed"
Whether the stone was a factor in
avertlng disaster to its owners in
their moments of peril is, however,
a matter apart from the facts in the
case. - Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.
