Good Roads.

The interest taken in good roads by
almost every class of citizens wherever
the subject is discussed gives promise
that something efficient will soon be
done i'm that direction. Good roads
through the country seem to be Of more
immediate and direct valus to the
farmer than any other class, because
he is more dependent upon them than
any one else TO bring his products to
market at the least cost. There is,
indeed, to him no such labor-saving
machine in use anywhere on his farm
as a good road from his farm to the
town or point where he does his mark
eting. He saves time and money by
the use of improved implements; but
he loses much of what he has saved if
he has no good way to get his products
to market when they should be sold.
If he were to count the time literally
wasted in plodding through the mud
during the winter aud spring months
over the country roads in doing his
marketing and shopping, and then
should add to the value of the time aud
we-r and tear Of wagons and teams
and harness, he would be surprised at
the amount it costs him to get what he
has raised to market. But this Is q
part of the cost he never takes into ac-
count, although it costs time and labor,
just as the seeding and the reaping
do.-Farm News.

A Change in Kansas.

From the Washington Post.
The mOney-lenders in New England,
who shut down on Kansas mortgages
some years ago, when the POpulists got
control of that state and began their
wild warfare on capital, have recently
resumed business at the old stand and
in the old way. Any citizen in Kan
sas who has unincumbered real or per-
sonai estate, or whose estate is but
thinly covered with mortgages, can
now borrow money from New England
through agencies located not far from
his home. As the Kansas farmers
have made great progress in wiping
out their mortgage Indebtedness, and
are really in a good condition finan-
cialIy-in spite of all the wailing Of
some of the X tnsas politieians-it is to
be hoped that they will not need to in
eumber their property to a greIt ex
tent Bat the fact that the bar or ban
has been removed is, nevertheless, a
plSth-tuE ihCibChb-
The change, however, does not inn
ply that there has been any modifica-
ton of the views of the men who have
resumed the business of loaning money
on Kansas mortgages They stand
Just where they stood when they closed
the lids Of their coffsrs-jIst where
prudent investors always stand. When
law and public sentiment were array
ed against them as ''shsrks" and 'pi-
rates. they withdrew their business.
The change has occurred in the Popu-
list Of Kansas. They have learned a
useful lesson, aud they have legislated
accordingly. Their new mortgage
law is fair to both sides, protecting
alike the creditor and the debtor. Ex-
perience is often expensive. IL has cost
Kansas great of trouble and sorle
money to have its Populist get some
sound financial notions into their heads
But the work has been accomplished
at last. TEey may still hold the fiat
money delusion, but they know now
that it does not pay to drive capital out
of the state by unfrieldly legislation,
and that it does pay to deal justly even
with men who are so wicked as to
have money to lend

Mountain Sheep in Colorado.

Mountain sheep appear TO be inereas-
ing In Colorado, and, stranger still, the
rare and timid animals are leaving their
dizzy haunts among the hill mountain
peaks and drawing nearer to the habit
aiions Of man than ever before. In the
comparatively low lands, near the town
of Jefferson, there il now a flock Of 50
or more mountain sheep. Jefferson il
on the South Park railroad, about 81
miles southwest OF Denver, in Park
county. II is an old-fashioned COM
munity, and has near ii the well-known
summer resort, jefferson lake. The
vicinity, disturbed by the rumble Of
trains as well a the sounds of human
life and industry, is not at all quiet
one. 1t has none Of the characteristics
which usually mark the natural home
of the almost extinct mountain sheep.
And yet for several days past band
of at least 80 Of the soft-eyed, large
horned native sheep of the Rocky
mountains has been calmly grazing
around the town of jefferson and close
TO the railroads. 1t is said that the
sheep do not display any sign Of fear of
the Jefferson people. Many of them
come in open daylight within easy
pistol shot of the residences. They do
not run away unless somebody par-
posely tries TO frighten them.
For many years past the sight Of a
mountain sheep has been a rarity in
Colorado, and usually only one at a
time has been seen. n hunter far off
from civilization might descry a solita-
ry sheep perched on crag overlooking
some wild and steep canyon, hut hard
ly ever within gunshot range. No
such thing as 80 sheep together has
been reported, even by the veries Mum
chausen of hunters. When a lone sheep
was seen it usually disappeared from
view at the slightest alarm.
Considering these things, the descent
of 80 sheep upon the town Of Jefferson,
as though they had formed themselves
into an exeursian party somewhere
among the mountains, does not not
look reasonably explainable. The
general theory is that bitter cold and
deep SHOWS in the higher altitude drove
them downward, and that they joined
together for mutual protection as they
Travelled from peak to peak Killing
mountain sheep is absolutely prohibit
ed by law in Colorado. 1t is closed
season all the year around with the
animals, just as it is with buffalo

When Apples Commence to Bear.

Correspondents frequently inquire at
what age various fruit trees commence
to bear. The matter is of some conse-
quenee to them, as it relates to the
question of profit in setting out an or
chard. In Thomas Fruit Culturist is
given list Of some fifty sorts of the
best known apples, which were set out
for the purpose of recording the age st
which they commenced to bear. 1t is
assumed that trees = and 3 years old
were set out, and while some COM
menced at two years after, Others were
nine years. At two years these were:
Duchess of Oldenburg, Haas and Home
Beauty.
Three years-Keswick Goblin, Pri-
mate and Williams Favorite.
Four years-Ben Davis, Carolina
Red June, Early Harvest, Jefferies,
Jersep Sweeting, Maiden's Blush, Te-
tofsky, Wagener and Yellow Trans
parent.
Five years-Dominie, Fallawater,
Fameuse, King Of Tompkins County,
Munson Sweet, Rawles Janet, Red AS
trachan, Rhode Island Greening,
Twenty Ounce, Winesap and Sops Of
Wine.
Seven years-Pack's Pleasant
Eight years-Baldwin, Gravenstein
and Tallman Sweet.
Nine years-Spitzenberg, Fall Pip
pin, Golden Russet, Lady's Sweet,
Mother, Yellow Bellefleur, Northern
Spy and Sutton
The Early Strawberry and Rambo,
set ont at the same time, had not yet
fruited at the close of the nine years.
Such records Us these are very valuble,
as it is an important matter to know
rot only what are the best kinds for
market, but when bearing may be
looked for as well. There Is the same
difference in pears that exists in APP
Piles. The Bartlett, for instance, CON-
meuces to bear from the time of plant
ing almost, while the Seckel, one OF
the best of pears, takes a longer time
than any other one know of To show
signs of frui.ing.-Practical Farmer.

Horrid Blind Man.

4 story was told the other day by a
lawyer in the big Equitable Building,
says the New York Times, of an exper-
fence that brother of his, blind
man, had few days since while he
was in the city from a small town in
Jersey, where he resides. On the day
mentioned the blind man was without
a guide and stood on the corner of
Twenty-third street and broadway,
wishing to cross the street. While
debating with himself as to whether
he would try il alone or call a police
man, a woman came up and addressed
him, saying: "Mister, would you be
kind enough to help me across the
street? There is such a jam of trucks
and cars that am afraid to cross a.
lone" Certainly, with pleasure, Mad
am," he responded, and, offering her
his arm, they started across Broadway,
crossing in safety. Thank you, very
muchv' said the woman. ''No, Mad
am; il is who am thankful, for am
blind, and you helped me to avoid that
dangerous crossing very nicely" said
the man. s'Ohr' said the woman, in
reproachful tones; "you horrid man
Why, | might have been run over.'

Mrs Walker Did Not Long Survive
Her Dead Hero.

From the New York Journal
The phrase "broken heart Is not
used in a conventional sense in this
story. Ii Is about a woman whose heart
really broke. so that she died when
she saw her husband, her lover, her
hero, carried to the grave by his conf
rades.
The story itself dates back 10 a period
few months before the close Of the
Civil War. A body Of Federal sol
diery marched one day, with drums
rolling anc eolors flying, into a small
town In Illinois, near the kentucky
b)rder. At its head ride bronzed
youth with an air Of autbority-Major
Walker, who had relatives living ia
the place. The townspeople made a
fuss over the fighting men in the even
ing the young Major was dragged to
school entertainment by his little
nephew. In the vivacious crowd that
had assembled, partly in his honor, the
soldier singled out one face, and little
school teacher, who had left her home
in Newark, y. j., TO visit friends in
illinois, For Major Walker il was
romantic little intsrlude in the stress Of
warfare. When he marched to the
front again it was with miniature Of
the Newark girl in his breast-pOeket,
and her face appeared before him when
the smoke of battle shut out all other
sights. In 1855, after receiving his
commission as colonel, he hastened TO
Newark, and made her his wife.
After living in the West aud South
west four or five years, Colonel Walker
was given commission in the regular
army, but for the love Of his wife, who
lOnged To return to Newark, he abaDd-
oned his career rs fighting man and
returned to New Jersey. Joining the
police force in Newark he quickly rose
to the rank of lieutenant. As the years
passed and children came, the love be-
tween husband and wife grew more
tender. Mrs. Walker often said that
she would not survive her hero, if he
should die first. She was right. A
week or two ago Lieutenant Walker
fell i'll. Mrs. Walker nursed him night
and day. Between anxiety and fatigue
her health broke down, and she was
carried away from his bedside in state
of collapse. A week later her husband
died. They feared to let her look upon
his wasted features, but she would not
be denied the mournfui privilege Of
seeing his funeral procession pass her
window. That was on Monday. Mrs.
Walker should have been in bed, bat
she dragged herself 10 the window, and
watched the cortege as il passed by.
She was strangely excited. Her eyes
followed the hearse As long as il was i'm
sight, and her friends say that they
have never seen anything 50 brilliant
as those eyes, "Peter, my Peter'
mOaned the stricken widow. "It Is
not for long you are leaving mer'
And she lnrched TO the floor in a
swoOn. They picked her up and laid
her in bed. All that physicians could
do was done for her. But at midnight
she was dead. Her heart was broken
