The " Fabian " Policy.
The policy of wearing out the enemy
in war by delays, misleading1 move
ments, feints of attacks, etc., while
avoiding open battle, is called the
"Kaliian policy," from the following
circumstance: Kabius Maximus was a
Koman general in the second IMinic
war. Having been appointed just after
the Roman army had suffered severe
defeat at Lake Thrasymene, he per
ceived that his disheartened troops and
bands of raw recruits could not op
pose successfully a trained army Hushed
with victory and led by their great
commander, Hannibal, lie therefore
avoided pitched battles, moved his
camp from highland to highland, and
tired out the enemy with marches and
countermarches. This he continued
until thwarted in his calculations by
the impatience of the Koman senate.

Days dogs always trotted along in
front several hundred yards, taking op
posite sides of the road. Two would
fall back in the rear arid one would
advance like a scout on each side. In
case of an ambuscade the dogs in front
would scent the presence of the deputy
marshals before they got within one
hundred yards of them. They would
I then return quickly to their master
and inform him by their actions of the
presence of the enemy. Day would
then take to the woods to the right or
left, with a dog in advance, and pass
around an ambuscade without being
seen. In case pursuers should come
up behind, Day's dogs, which had been
trailing along, would' quickly hear or
scent them, and then would hurry for-
ward to their master, who, knowing by
their actions how close the enemy was,
could easily evade tliem. With such
guards it was almost useless for the
officers to attempt to capture Day.
They often gave up the search in dis-
gust, to start out a month or two later
reiiivifforatod and enuourugerl hy ru
mors or reports of spies, to fail ayain

McDowell county one day, and the
next some one from 'Jaswell. in Vir-

that he had been seen in that section,

officers, and although they could hear
of half a dozen stills running in as

officers in the entire fifteen years were
successful only in capturing two of his
stills.

fhe circuit rider in the West Virginia
itiountuins one day overtook a moun
taineer driving a pair of mules along
the road and engaged him in conversa
tion, as was his wont, says the Detroit
Free Press.
"You will excuse me," said the good
man, "but i am the preacher on this
circuit, and I want to know the people
who live here. I suppose this is your
neigh borhood?"
"Yes. sir, I live down here on Greasy,
just beyant the forks," was the prompt
response.
"I don't think I Raw you at church
last Sunday, did I?"
"No. sir: but I usually aim to get
thar. Had a spell uv sickness last week
an' was laid up."
"I am glad to hear you are a church
goer and I hope you are a member."
"Well, mister," and the native's face
showed some regret, "I hain't got so fer
along us that yit. Itont the best I kin
do is to go to meetin' and take chances
on the balance."
"lint whv don't you become a mem
ber?" "Ca.e my business is agin it."
"What do you do?''
"I'm a teamster."
"Why, that is no reason why you
shouldn't join the church."
"Hut I drive mules, mister, an' atter
ten yers at it I'm here to say that mule
driviu' an' the Christian religion won't
gee fer shucks, an' thar ain't no use

the Rule
' Harvests Were Abundant and the Agrl
j cultnral Classes Enjoyed Hany
I f the Comforts '
' of Life.
The year which has just drawn to a
close has been remarkable as one of
the most peaceable and prosperous
which has passed within the century.
In view of recent occurrences it can
hardly be considered uneventful, says
the London Times, hut these occur
rences were exceptional and do not af
fect its general character. The people,
as a whole, have never been freer from
distress and the evils which follow in
its course. Since the year 1 8'20, which
is treasured in remembrance, they
have not been favored with so dry a
summer or a season more favorable to
agricultural pursuits. Although the
total area under cultivation showed a
decrease of 6,805 acres in cereal crops
and 21,230 in green crops, and sonic of
the crops werclight and thin for want
of rain, yet the drought was not felt
so severely in Ireland as in England,
the soil retaining a large store of mois-
ture from previous years, whicn was
drawn to the surface and preserved tha
vitality of the seeds and roots.
The result was that the harvest was1
saveu m mica Kuuu uuimiuuu aim iu
much earlier as to more than compen
sate for any deficiency in the acreage
under cultivation, which, after all,
was but slight. The total extent
under cereal crops was 1,489,893 acres,
and under green crops, 1,158,527 acres.
The extent under clover and grasses
was 642,056 acres, being an increase of
18,170 acres, and under hay or per
manent pasture 1.525,108 acres, showing
an increase of 6,184 acres. There is
also an abundant supply of sound po
tatoes and of turf, which are appre
ciable elements of comfort in the small
farmhouses and laborers' cabins.
These advantages have had a tranquil
izing and encouraging effect upon the
agricultural classes, who are heartily
tired of political agitation, and dis
posed to apply themselves to more
profitable pursuits. There are many
satisfactory signs of a beneficial
change in the moral as well as the ma
terial condition of the poople. Not
the least impressive of these are the
willingness and comparative punctu
ality with which rents are generally
paid, the utter failure of the attempts
which have been strenuously made to
revive political excitement, and the
greater readiness to adopt the practi
cal suggestions of those who are com
petent to give good advice and have no
selfish object to gain.
Among the most active and success
ful of the agencies which are endeav
oring to teach them better methods
and habits are the congested districts
board, the Royal Dublin society, the
various educational institutions and
industrial companies for employing
teachers to point out the best systems
of dairy farming and butter making,
establishing creameries, and encour
aging small manufacturers .and cot
tage work adapted to the circum
stances of the country. The well di
rected efforts of these several organiza
tions are effecting a marked improve
ment everywhere, although no reduc
tion has been effected in the amount
of actual pauperism, which represents
a stage of almost hopeless destitution.
It appears from one of the last weekly
returns for the year that the number
receiving relief in the workhouses was
42,9119, and outdoor relief 58,165, which
is a few hundred more than in the cor
responding week of the previous year.
The general trade of the country has
not shown much enterprise, but,
though limited in volume, it haR been
souml an,i Ktl.U(iy. Except in two or
: three instances there have been no
heavy failures during the year. Two
of the failures were those of contract-
orSi om, of whom wus t.arry,ng out
light railway work in the west of Ire
land. As a rule, credit has been well
maintained, and all the banks have
I becn abe to ptty K,)OIi dividends, espe
cially the Lister companies, which
have given as high as from 10 to 20
per cent.
A Chinese Iwarf.
There has arrived in Soochow a
microscopic prodigy 20 inches in height,
aged SI years, and sporting a flowing
gray beard almost as long as himself.
The small man has a "cocky"" sort of
way about him which is all his own,
and is dressed in English fashion
coat, hat, boots and all. He tells the
gaping crowd of bumpkins who uncer
emoniously jostle the city swells in
their eagerness to hear him speak that
he hails from the dwarf kingdom of
the western ocean, and he emphasizes
his information by a flourish of a bam
boo tobacco pipe which is much taller
than himself. Hut when desired to
give a specimen of the language of the
country of his nativity he regales hiss
audience with a choice collection of
English phrases, squeaked out in an
uncertain tone of voice.

Growing Land.
Enterprising men have a way of
growing land along the marshy shores
of Delaware bay. The plan is to cut
the dikes and let the tide rise anil fall
for a course of years over a considera
ble area including some upland. It is
found after awhile that the dikes may
he removed considerably out toward
the low title line, anil that iiiiinv acres
of arable land have been gained ut
small cost. .Marsh companies usually
exist for the purpose of cooperation in
such work, and there are many quar
rels over the land of i len that refuse
to join the company in malting a tem
porary sacrifice of upland for the pur
pose of reclaiming submerged marsh.
The land thus reclaimed is extremely
fertile, but it usually yields a crop of
malarial fevers when first brought un
der cultivation.
l'lntured In Words.
The Mronx Valley, fur many miles of
its course, is a marvel of fog and cloud
effects these winter mornings. When
neighboring hills have long emerged
into the clear sunlight the depths of
the valley just along the stream
are still clad in thick elotids, mixed
with fog, and with smoke and steam
from the hundreds of railway trains
that ceaselessly speed up and down the
valley. The deepest parts of the val
ley, as seen from near hillsides, seem
level full with an almost snow-white
fluid mist, and this trails in long strata
across the face of wooded hillsides,
with rifts here and there that give
g limpses of bareheaded tree trunks. A
few miles southward, where the valley
broods in the east, I'.n.nx Park looms,
fuiry-likc, through thinning mist, and
the sun floats, round and pale, shorn of
its keener rays, while, just below, the
picturesque grounds and buildings of
St. John's college at Kot-dham take on
a quaint and antique air that doubles
their charm.

Assassination 15 Domb.
Vaillant, who hurled a bomb in the
chamber of deputies in Paris recently,
paid only thirteen cents for the can
ister that contained the explosive, says
the New York World. There are other
deadly missiles which the anarchists
have learned to make, and the ordinary
cane or umbrella will eoncenl them.
The plan is to take the cane or um
brella into the theater, store or stock
exchange and lay it upon the floor or
counter. The setting of it up in its
natural position will cause it to ex
plode with fatal result.
The head of the cane holds twoglass
vessels, oblong in shape, and each filled
with an explosive liquid harmless in it
self so long as it is kept away from the
others. The cane is carried by the an
archist in perfect safety by being held
horizontally. Hut when lifted up and
placed against the wall the fluid in the
upper bottle runs into the lower and
the explosion takes place.
