COLORADO MOUNTAIN SHEEP.
The Day Not Far Distant when They
Will Be Extinct.

WIFI ne EAAinCls
From the Denver Republican: Noun
tain sheep appear to be increasing
in Colorado, and, stranger still, the
rare and timid animals are leaving
their dizzy haunts among the high
mountain peaks and drawing nearer to
the %habitations of man than ever be-
fore. In the comparatively low lands,
near the town of jefferson, there is now
a flock of fifty or more mountain sheep.
Jefferson is on the South Park railroad,
about eighty-one miles southwest OF
Denver, in Park county. 1t is al old
fashioned community, and has near 1t
the well-known summer resort, Jefter-
son Lake. The vicinity, disturbed by
the rumble of trains as well as the
sounds of human life and industry, is
not at all a quiet n 1t has none of
the characteristics which usually mark
the natural home of the almost extinct
mountain sheep. And yet for several
days past, a band of at least fifty of
the soft-eyed, large-horned native sheep
of the Rocky Mountains has been calm
ly grazing around the town of Jeffer-
son 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 resi-
dences. They do not run away unless
somebody %purposely tries to brighten
them. For many years past the sight
of a mountain sheep has been a rarity
in Colorado, and usually but n at a
time has been seen. A hunter far oft
from civilization might descry a soil
tary sheep perch d OIL a crag overlook
ing ONE wild and steep canyon, but
hardly eve within gunshot range. No
such thing as fifty sheep together has
been reported, even by the veriest
Munchausen of hunters. When a lone
sheep was seen it usually disappeared
from view at the slightest alarm.
Considering these things, the descent
of fifty sheep Upon the town of Jeffer-
on, as though they had formed them
selves into an excursion party some
where among the mountains, does not
look reasonably e~xplainable. The gen
eral theory is that bitter cold and deep
now in the higher attitudes drove
them downward, and that they Joined
together for mutual protection as they
travelled from peak to peak. Killing
mountain sheep is absolutely prohib-
tied by law in Colorado. 1t is a closed
season all the year round with the ami
mails, just as it is with buffalo.

Without doubt men who drink no
spirits hold out better and do their
work better than those who drink.
Armies made of men of the former
class march better, hold up longer I'M

bear exposure better, and consequent

little from disease and crime. 1t les

gerous to use it. 1t may excite for a
time, but is always followed by great
depression. This has been clearly
demonstrated in Arctic explorations.
In exposure to great heat the evidence
is equally conclusive against it's use.
The array of testimony is indisputable.

Is there anything closer to an an

well in the house, but the owner seem,

ones here and there, until. for quality
and variety his book could not be ex-
celled. 1t was a fly s%torehouse, as ii
were. No matter where he intended
fishing, or whether for trout, bass or
salmon, he could always find a choice
assortment to draw from with which
to fill up a supplementary book. AL
though it was some time ago he yet
bewails the loss of that ly-book. Many
have been the efforts to get track OF
1t, but all in vain. He has gone to the
expense of sending to the prison, in a
distant city, and endeavoring to pre-.
vail upon the convict to divulge the
hiding place of the book, but without
success. A persistent search of the
,pawnshops and periodical advertising
have produced no better results.
There were flies in that book for
trout and salmon in Irish waters; flies
for the salmon and trout of the Scotch
lakes and the English streams, and
flies for the salmon of Norway. The

Why He Would Not Pledge in Wine.

Why He Would Not Pledge in Wine.
Boys, l cannot pledge myself with
you in Wine" said a young man at a
banquet, when urged by his compan-
ions to drink to the success of some
pet scheme, land this is my reason for
refusing: | once had an idolized moth

OF the strongest. Before she went into
the great unknown, 1 promised her to
always abstain from the intoxicating
cup, and the promise is as binding to-
day as when first given"

beyond her boy, and all present were

young mans character, making him
strong of purpose; but it set his
friends to thinking, awaking them
to a sense of their duty-the result, a
glorious victory.

A great commotlou seems to have taken
place among railway circles, owing to a
contemplated through car service between
the Pacific coast and Chicago which is to
operate one day each week. This is not a
new departure by any means, as tbe Den

its connections have been operating a
through car service between the Pacific
and Atlantic coasts, via Salt Lake, Pueblo,
Denver, Kansas City and Chicago for
years, and three days each week, viz:
every Wednesday, Thursday n Friday
evening. The cars for this through SER
vice are of the latest Pullman design, and
are supplied with new clean linen and bed
ding throughout. A Pullman porter is as
signed to each car. These cars are under
the personal supervision Of a special excur-

Engli Steel Rails.

In tearing up a siding on the Straits
Vile division of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, the other day, the sec
ton men discovered that several Of the
rails had been made in 1863. Subse-
uuent investigation revealed the fact
that these rails were part Of a lot that
were bought in England during the war
at a cost of SIPS per ton in gold. The
rails were still in very fair condition
and for light motive power would last
ten wears longer.

AN EIGHT-TON MOLLUSK.
Ashore on the Beach of Anastasia
Island,


Island.
The huge mollusk ashore on the
beach of Anastasia island continues to
attract the attention of scientists,
says the Florida Citizen. DR.. Dewitt
Webb has received instructions to
of photographs of the carcass and
with this end in view he engaged four
heavy horses, a dozen men and with
three sets of tackle went to South
Beach yesterday for the purpose of
of raising the heavy object from it's
board platform, SO that it can be pho
tographed and examined on all sides.
When the party reached the mollusk
the tide was found to be favorable for
work and after several hours of labor
the great mass was hauled from the
sand in which it was imbedded and
placed on a platform of boards. The
men at work, who are in the habit of
handling heavy weights, state that the
carcass weighs fully eight tons. What
it weighed when alive must be mag
ined, but it must have been great, for
the mass has been ashore for nearly
two months and if 1t is true that it
foated from the arctic regions it lost
it's tentacles and shell en- route. The
shape of that part of the mollusk that
vas imbedded in the sand is similar
to that which was exposed from the
time it came ashore, but another series
of photographs will be taken, as a view
of the entire mass can now be obtained
since II has been placed on the plat
form. These photographs will be
sent to the Smithsonian institution and
to Yale College for the purpose of
classification.
