Late photograph of epublican candidate ‘MILITARY MARCHING. . | The Pace Varies With the Quality and . Size cf the Command. The “‘Army Drill Book” tells that trained and hardened infantry can cover from twenty to twenty-five miles a day when in small bodies. As the size of the command. increases the dis- tance covered becomes less, as the rate is lowered and time is needed to get all the units into and out of camp. With a regiment or less of average troops—regulars—marching over aver- . | age roads the rate should be from two and three-quarters to three miles an hour. Large bodies will travel from two to two and a half miles an hour, while a division cannot be expected to aceomplish more than twelve and one- half miles a day. Of course all these figures will vary with different conditions of roads and weather. Untrained . troops could not | approach them until hardened. Though they might do better for a day or two. they could not k&ep up the steady pace of the seasoned regulars for a long dis. tance, Marching with full equipment is hard physical work and, like every other form of labor, requires a proper period of training. The seasoned force will keep up & steady pace with ten minute halts every hour, a fifteen minute stop being made at the end of the first half or three-quarters of an hour. Green :roops are apt to straggle badly.—Out- ng. The orIgln of the Word “farm” 1s.as follows: In the Saxons’ time the es- tates which the lords of manors grant- ed to the freemen were at first but for a’term of years, with a render of a rent, which in those days was of corn and other products. The leases so made were called fermes or farmes, but times ensuing turned the produce into money and terms of years to terms of life and inheritance.—West- minster Gazette.
