The average cost of taking produce to market In New York at present la fl.otl per ton for each six in Ilea, the average haul, or 20 cents per mile. The estimate per ton per mllo on a good macadnin road la 7 cents, aud If all the road of the Stote were of thla description the iinnuul saving In the haul, without regard to wear and tear, would he about lil,0n0,000. Aa matters stand, the farmers pay an an nual road assessment of Kl.iiuo.OOO. It Is the opinion of the committee that the Htnte should at once begin the work of road Improvement, by agreeing to pay one-third of the cost, the coutitlea to pay the other two-thirds. The failure of one of the oldest horse dealers In New York and the collapse of an established riding academy aro laid severally to the trolley and bicy cle, both lu the first Instance doubtless working woe to the unfortunate horse man. 8uch Incidents aa there are more or leea common factors of life, since the routing of the horse Is accepted a a foregone conclusion. Kven the win ter does not deter one from the pleas ures of cycling, especially such an open winter as thla of UVtxl. It will not be lung, however, liofore the horse dealer will have accommodated themselves to the lack of demand for car horses and pleasure "mounts, " aud their business thou ahould rest on a comparatively secure level for years until the horse less carriage assumes more formidable Importance than It doe now. Hut they will have to reckon on a continual growth of the bicycle fever. Thla Is a sport that la atlll moving forward.

HER MOTJIKU-IN-LAW Ned Chattertnn waa a good deal of a mother's boy that la to aay, such a warm affection existed between mother i and son that it was remarkable iu this . ,.; it I ? . Ho when it became known that Ad- elaido Westcott was engaged to blm, her many friends grow solicitous in warning her as to the oourse she should pursue in regard to her future mother- In-law. "When a mother basBlways had such complete ascendency over a son, it is always a hard mutter to muke her roc- agnize a ttife'a right, aud if this is to be done, positive measures must be em - ployed from the first. " rio ber friend laid, and her own mother gave ber some i(iTi,. i the same liue, while her .,tPr en dpnlored the necessity of 1 i - baring mothers-in-law and reriewed all the traditions in regard to those very undesirable personages. With so much instruction Adelaide became also imbued with very positive notions on the subject Of com so, he wa an only sou and bis mother a wid ow, but she could never consent to live in the same bonne with the elder wom an. If all was to go well, she was to begin right Of course, Ned loved bis mother, but mutrimouy would put him Duder new obligations. At her first op portunity she expluined it all to him aud insisted that they should keep a separate establishment Nod hsiked pained, bat be suid: "I (hull o as you suy in the matter, Adelaide, though, I had looked forward to a very buppy companionship between yon and my littlti mother, hbe is uot bard to get along with, I know, and he could have helped yon so mnch with ber advice aud counsel iu he household affairs." Dut Adelaide showed bim how mother-in-law, by ber very love ami preference for ber sou, might cause dis sension between husband and wife. Perhaps he was uot convinced, but be yielded the point and they were mar ried. All of Adelaide a friends congruto luted ber upou hrr good sense, and be hind his buck praised Ned for his con lidcration iu sparing bis wifo tho pres euce of a mother In law. Hut ho guve himself tho sutisfuctiun of setting np housekeeping within a block of the mother ho loved. Hornet inics at night, when he end Adelaide fut lonely by the tire, be thought of his mother utid wished that he might be with them, but ou the whole they were happy and no morbid thoughts entered his bruin, for he be lieved that iu time Adelaide's own good sense would triumph over tho prejudices aroused by officious friends. Hut this was his mother' wisdom. There were times when the elder Mrs. Chiitterton wept a llttlo that she was denied the dully vision of her son's joy, but she said nothing and kept ber teurs to herself. Ned was very faithful and dutiful, but she did not go ofteu to tho house, because ber pre.seuco always teemed to put Adelaide iu a iikxkI of defense alniiwt bordering on aggression. The young woman meant to be under stood, and plainly understood, that she would tolerato the interference iu her affair of no mother-in-law. And so the months pussed. In the first glow of conunhial joy Ned had neglected his club, but as time went ou and the household began to more in the accustomed routine bo be gan occasionally to drop iu and spend a social hour with his man friends. At first It was but once in two or three weeks, and only au hour or two then. Then he went more frequently aud staid later. Some erenings Adelaide was very lonesome, aud after awhile, wheu he stuid late, would cry to herself, but ihe always tried to welcome his return with an unclouded face. She believed that it was only thoughtlessness, and that after awhile, when he came to re alize how very lonely she wus, he would not star awuy from her so long. Hut he did uot seem to realize, Ouce, wheu she was very lonesome. Mrs. Chattertou came iu mid sat with her. They talked together and busied themselves with some niiiuewora, aim the hours did not seem so long. Aud wheu Neil came that night they walked borne with his mother ami all were light iearted and happy. Hut other evenings passed when uo- body cume iu, or wheu her mother or Nell dropped iu to fiud her alone, and hinted that Nod was neglecting her. They would look at ber strangely, aa if they pitied her, and wondered if she were buppy. Somehow this pained her. Ned was good. !ie loved him aud kuew that he loved her; he was only thought less. She said this over and over to her self, and she could not boar to see in the eye of her relative the look that accused him. One night when be had been later than usuul and wheu her heart was overfull she tried to tell him how he wa paining her, but broke down end burst into tears. His face was flushed and he answered bar imriatieutlr : "Nouseuse, Add?; don't act like a baby, you must remember that yon are ' a woman. Yon oughtn't to expect a ' man to (tick iu the house all the time. " It wasu't so much what he said, but the tone in w hich he said it, tliut hurt ber and made her sob silently until she fell asleep. There was something restrained and 1 hamefaeed iu bit manner as he kissed ber goiHlby the next morning and weut down towu. but iu the evening ne re- turned early, and after duiuer he did not go out He was restless aud nervous and didu't seem to be reading the paper wbliih he heVI up before bim. Between hnsbaud aud wife there was an embar rassing silence. There seemed to be no eomuiou tbeino for them to talk about. i Tbey retired early, aud again Adelaide' I ! : 1 1 . . .... - biiow was wi wiio tear. It la a very easy matter to tell when a man stays in the boose out of a iense of duty. That ia what Ned did for several nights, but it brought Adelaide no bap pi ucs and blm no comfort Her heart was overfall and she want ed sympathy and con null. To whom should the turn? Won Id not her futber tell her that she was foolish? Wonld nut her mother be angry and blame Ned? Would uot Nell pity her? No; she could uot go to none of these. Then suddenly the thought of Mrs. Cbatterton. She understood Ned. rihe loved hi in. Wonld she not also understand the situation and be able to advise ber? When she hud gained courage enough, she went down to ber mothet-in-luw'sand sobbed out the whole story to her. The old lady took her in ber arma as she would bave a tired child. ".You poor, little girl," she said. "Ned has been very bad to you, and Yon didn't know bow to manage him. now shonld yon? But be putient; we '""g me yonng man urouzm oi. right.

It was a matter of somo doubt whether Waa more pleaded or surprised when, ou the following night, Adelaide (i( to him : "Would yon mind going to the club tonight, Ned?

Ho cume home early that evening, and his mother was just about to leave a he entered. She paused only long enough to say: "I'll be over tomorrow evening. Mr. and Mrs. Delaney are coming with the hope of beating you und Addy a few games of cards. I'll have to come aud make a welsh rabbit , for you, I suppose." "That will be just the thing," said . Ned. "I'll show Tom Delaney whether he can beat us at cards or not. Do come, mother. Wait a minute, aud Addy and I will walk home with yon. Won't we, dear?" Hut his wife was already throw ing on ber cape. Next night Mr. nnd Mrs. Delaney ennio aud Ned aud Adelaide were beat en, but Mrs. Cbatterton made the Welsh . rubbit he hud never made a better ono and there were jokes aud stories and bright couversution all through the short evening. Delaney proposed that the three Chat tertous come over to his house on the next evening and get their rereuge, and they weut. Thero were more jokes and bright tulk, aud, best of ull, this time Ned won. "How pleasant these evenings are," he said to Adelaide, wt with her ou one arm und his mother ou the other he wended his homeward way, "aud how foolish I have been to have been wast ing them at the club. Wo must keep them up, rh, little girl?" They were just at Mrs. Chatterton'a gate, but Ado luide put her hand on the old lady's arm. "You nre going home with us to spend tho iight," she suid. "And there ia to be uo demur, littlo mother," added Ned, sweeping heron past tho gate. She could uot but con sent. lur into the night, after Mrs. Cbat terton hud gone tit bed, Ned nnd Ado luido talked. They made plans for fu ture pleasure, and their yonthful joy teemed the revival of tho honeymoon en thusiasm. "We shall hove such glorious times," taid Ned. "Mother ia right here near us. "She must bo nearer, Ned," said Ad elaide, "I want her to live riaht here with us." "Hut, Adelaide" "Ned, I desire it. Don't say no. I've got over tome foolish notions of mine and I jost begin to find how much I need a mother-in-law." Her friends say : "It is strange that after starting out so well she would let him bring that mother-in-law in on her. but I suppose he compelled her; that's the way with men. "St. Louis Repub lic.

They were ar- MljiV' . ali- -j -t.-.i- ..,.1 .it tha raugpa on laoies ami iuan " floor uronud on three sides cf the room ; on the side opposite to tire tide tliut I had come in at, aud on the sides to the right and left; running around those three sides in a sort of irregular order. On tlm side where I was there were a few chairs. I thought I'd start in on the left and work around to tho right, aud I started from the door and bud aoue ubont three stept when I went down through the floor, a it seemed to me, but what I hod really done was to step down through an open register. I suppose somebody must bave dropped something down through it and bare taken it cut to get it aud forgot to put it back. "There was a wire screen under the register over the pipe opening to keep things from dropping down the pipe, but it was very fine light wire, and it didn't stop me at all; I just slid dowa into the pipe, poshing that along under my feet, w hen I dropped into the pipe, I had been facing to the left; in some way as I went down I got s':ewed uruund so that when I gut down as fur as I did go I wa facing to the front ; that is, toward the ceuter of the room. The pipe didn't go straight down, but witk b curve. I had thrown up my huuds a I went down, and I suppose I might have gone plumb to the furnace if I hadn't clutched at the edge of the regis ter opening und bung on. A minute be fore I was going to take my pick of a roomful ; now where wus I? "I hud started ucross the room carry ing my toolhag iu one band and my lump iu the other. The shock when I weut down bod shukcu tho bag out of my baud, but I had held on to my lump, though it was lying on its tide now with my fingers clutching through the handle. The fulling of the toolbag and the striking of the lamp on the floor aud the scraping of the wire gauze down through the tin pipe must have made all together a good deal of noise, and I expected every minute to hear somebody moving about up stairs and coming dowu to haul me out, but no body did come, und I set my lump np straight, and after I'd waited a minute or two more I started to see if I could haul myself out. "As I lay in the pipe my head wot below tho level of the floor ; by a great effort I could raise myself so that the upper half of my bead wot above the opeuiug, but no higher ; there waa no room for play; wheu I got that high, I fonud mynclf with my elbows close to my body aud fairly wedged into the pipe; I couldn't get auy higher. "I let myself down aguin, and after awhile I pulled myself up again, and held on by oue bund and bold up the lump aud swmig it round on the things. Then I let myself dowu again, and won dered what I was going to do. It wasn't ouly nncomfortuble there in the posi tion I wo in, it wus mighty hot and npleasaut erery way. If I let go, I didu't know but thut I'd slide down against the furnace, oud, of conrse, I couldn't stand it for an indefinite length of time, aud wbeu I'd been in the pipe I shonld imagine about two hours, I made np my mind that I wouldn't try to sfand it any longer; I'd got to come out some time, aud I might just as well come out then; iu fact, better, for while the chances of my gettiug away at all were mighty small, they would bo bet tor at night than they would be in the daytime. "So I made np my mind to kick on the pipe and wake up the house and have the thing settled. So I kicked once, twice, nnd then I kicked again; aud by snakes) I kicked the pipe open nt my feet. There was a joint there, and I a kicked it apart, and te section I was in sagged down with mr weinht. aud I slid out on the cellar floor. The sagging down of that part of the pipe detached it from the part above and it fell on the cellar floor alougside of me. Thut made noise enough to wake every body up; there couldn't be any doubt about that. "I weut out by the same cellar win dow that I came in by. It was the first aud only such lot of stuff that I ever struck, aud I never got a thing out of it; iu fact, I added something to it my ilf a set of tools nnd a dark limtern. " New York Sun.
