I hnve so much property there that 1 could not In con science neglect It. All the yenrs of my youth nnd tho hopes of my manhood are stored nwny, like precious stones, In the vnultB, and 1 know thnt I shall lind everything convenient, elegant and beautiful when I come into pos session. As tho years go by 1 nm not conscious thnt my interest diminishes. If I sue that nge is subtly sifting his snow Into the dnrk hnlr of my 1'rue, 1 Einllc, contented, for her hnir, dnrk nnd heavy ns when I llrst saw it, Is nil carefully trensured In my cnstles In Spnln. If I feel her arm more heavily leaning upon mine, ns Ave wnlk around the squares, I press It closely to my Bide, for I know that the easy grace of her youth's motion will bo restored by the elixir of that Spanish air. If her rolce sometimes falls less clearly from her Hps, It is no less sweet to me, for the music of her voice's prime fills, freshly as ever, those Spanish halls. If the light I love fades n little from her eyes, I know that the glnnces she gave me in her youth nre tho eternnl sun shine of my castles In Spain. George W. Curtis In 'True and I." Why a Limpet Sticks. The limpet has gained notoriety by the strength with which it adheres to the rock on which It decides .to rest. The force required to detach the limpet from the rock has lately been tested by a well known naturalist, who found thnt more thnn sixty pounds must bo exerted for the purpose. So this little thing, weighing nbout half nn ounce, sticks so tightly that n force equal to two thousnnd times Its own weight la necessnry to drag it nwny. It wns nt one time supposed that at mospheric pressure hnd something to do with the ndhesive power of the lim pet, but it is now generally ngreed thnt the creature exudes n kind of glue for this purpose. If you plnce your finger on the rock Immedlntely after a limpet lias been detached, you will feel thnt the surfnee is sticky, nnd if you nllow your finger to remnln there for n short time you will notice that it Is begin ning to stick quite tightly. Penrsou's. TJnappreclative. A certain politician, eminent but not refined, made Samuel J. Tllden a busi ness call at his Gramercy Park man sion. Wishing to be pnrtlculnrly nice to him, the old gentlemnn got out a bottle of6 Johannlsberger Schloss, tho rarest of Rhine wines, nnd begnn to decant the contents into a minute glnss, sniffing the savor of the juice and taking grent pains to Indicate that a treat was coming. A tray with some large glasses was at hand. The poll ticinn reached for one and, grasping the precious bottle by the neck, dump ed half the contents Into it and drank It all at one gulp. Mr. Tllden eyed him malevolently and did not try to pro long the visit. When the door closed behind the guest, he said with a snap: "Blast him! The next time he comes I'll give him beer." New York World. Fly Fishing-. There is no doubt that certain flies are best adapted to different seasons, times of day and conditions of weath er, but a dozen flies of different names will fully answer "all of these require ments. An angler's files resemble noth ing when cast upon the water. They are simply a something which attracts the trout. Color has more allurement than form, nnd as there are not so many colors there Is no use for many files. The general rule is for light flies on dark days and dark or darkish files on light days. Sizes are more to be considered tbnn form and mixture In makeup. A large trout wants some thing worth bis making an effort to se cure. It is uoumiess true that an ar bitrary cast of files cannot be made up which will be adapted to all waters. Catarrh. People who nre subject to catarrhal ailments have special need to be partlc ulnr in regard to their feet covering. They should see to It that their feet arc comfortably clad, their shoes should have substantial soles and should como well up the nnkles and not be laced or buttoned tight. Light merino stockings or Imlf hose may be snlllcleiit for wnrintb, but whenever by reason of much exercise the feet have become damp, nnd especially If the leather has absorbed wet, It Is wise for change to bo made In both stockings and shoes. The Hardworking Farmer. I used to think that all farmers were overworked until I went to the cdunty fair," "And what did you see there?" "They had chairs covered wltb old postage stamps and laco crosses cut out of perforated cardboard, and one woman had a quilt with 15,000 pieces in It Needn't tell me people like thai are overworked unless lt'is from choice!" Washington Times. EUBOPE'S m&HWAYS PERFECT SYSTEM BY WHICH' THEY ARE BUILT AND MAINTAINED. Some ni the Splendid Itonds In France, nclR-lum and Haly 10 000,000 Spent by Latter Country on Iter Highways in Five Year. It will interest you to know nbout' the tondn of France. In thnt country there Is no such diversity between the mate rial progress of the farmer and that of the merchant, between the country and tho town, ns Is found In this country, BnyB Isaac B. Potter in Tho Gospel of Good Roads. The farmers prosper and have nlwnys prospered. Every dollar spent by tho French government to bring itself more closbly in touch with Its rural populntlon hns been well In vested. Of course these roads of Franco nre not bnllt by fnrmers who "work out" their highway taxes after the mnnncr followed in this country, nor nre they repnlred by tbe use of plows, hoes or scrapers, like those which nre brought Into use ut the nnnunl fnrmers' picnic which takes plnce when you go out to "work the road" In your township. On tho contrary, they nre built nnd kept up under n system which Is perhnps the most perfect In the world. There Is nn official in chief who takes charge of all the main roads of the republic nnd requires from his subordlnntcs complete reports nt frequent intervnls. In this manner Information Is always at hand showing the condition of the ronds In all parts of the country. Of course the work Is divided into differ ent sections, which in turn are In charge of subordinate engineers or su perintendents. Broken stone Is fur- COUNTRY ltOAD IN FRANCE. nlslied by contract, and, considering the amount of labor accomplished each year on the French roads, the cost is surprisingly small. Tho ronds of our own states, nt lenst the important state ronds, should be maintained in the same way. In Belgium also the principal roads are built and maintained by the gen era! government, and in 1880 in the nine provinces of Belgium over 70 per cent of the highroads were of this class, the entire length of high class ronds being 4,173 English miles out of n total of 5,280 of ronds of nil clnsses. The best ronds of Belgium nre in the provinces of Nnmur, Liege- nnd Lux embourg, nnd permanent employees are kept on the roads under the direc tion of the chief engineer of the prov ince for the purpose of Insuring the observance of the regulations and look lng after the constant repair of the highways. In Baden tbe main roads are under the supervision of the state author! ties and are cared for with a studious regard for the requirements of the farmer and inland travel, tinder the law relating to roads In Baden the duty of maintaining the road falls as follows: One-quarter each upon the townnnd county in which the road Is situated, the remaining one-half upon the state treasury. In Italy tbe minister of public works Is at tbe head of the department of public works. The construction - of these roads Is in most cases under taken by contracts, the work being carried on under direction of govern ment engineers. The government road laborers are called 'fcantounlers" and arc selected with great care, special reference being bad to character and honesty. They must be of robust con stitution and must be able to read and write. Each one of these contonnlers is provided with a full set of tools and Implements specified by law. His hours of worlfc are from sunrise to sunset, and each day be Is obliged to go over tbe entire track of road placed In bis charge. He must be constantly upon the line of bis work In all kinds of weather and In case of necessity Is bound to work on nubile holidays. His chief duties are the leveling and repair of the highways, the removal of snow, mud, dust, etc. He must assist travel ers In distress and vehicles disabled by accident or by weather, and for any neglect of duty be may be fined, sus pended or dismissed, according to the degree of the offense. Tbe fines accumulated during the year are divided among the deserving contonnlers or given to ono of the mu tual benefit association vt which tboy are members. Oantooniers who serve with, credit and (distinction ifor three or more years are prompted and. given an increase of monthly wages. In the five years from 1873 to 1878 Itnly spent nbout $10,000,000 on her ronds, al though before thnt appropriation was made mnny excellent highways existed In nil parts of the kingdom. In 1881 Italy constructed about 120 miles of new road nnd hnd then nbout 11,040 miles In couree of construction. In tho Netherlnnds, nB In tbe coun tries nlready mentioned, the prlnclpnl roads nre maintained nt tbe expense of tho state. ROADS OF AMERICA. Progress in the Bnlldlnnr of HIkb ways In the Country. The influence of the mechnnlcnl steed on our civilization Is best exemplified In the growth and improvement of the country highways, which, in a country thnt stretches between two ocenns nnd includes within its boundary nenrly all the climates and physical characteris tics of.n mighty continent, have been slowly evolved from the nlmost India tlngulshnblc trail of the pioneer set tlors Into ronds of high engineering skill nnd achievement, says Gunton's Magazine. The Americnn country ronds hnve lagged in the develop ment of the nation's material growth and expansion until within tho past few yenrs. With the exception of tho few old postronds, established In colonial days, when tho stagecoach wns tbe only vehicle for comfortable travel, there were not more than two or three country highways of pnssnble physlcnl condition, summer nnd winter, a score of years ngo In the United Stntcs. Military ronds were the cnrllest in ex istence in nil countries, nnd the protec tive necessity of having dlffererit parts of the empire Joined together by high ways over which an army could be quickly moved inspired most of the grent engineering-tents in rondbuild ing of the past. This factor had little or no influence in American industrial life. Our boundaries did not abut those of powerful nntions with whom we might at any time wage wnr; con scquently no thought of establishing lines of fortifications, connected by military hlghwnyB, ever entered the hends of our most warlike legislators or presidents. Military roads were not features of our national development and, though potent factors in the growth of mnny Enropenn states, they were nlmost nil In Americnn history. The modern rondbuilding movement is nttributed to the bicycle nnd nutomo bile, but It must be said that it was rather the conditions of the times which were ripe for the change, that mailc the popularity of these mechanic nl steeds. Railroad construction had almost reached its limit. Important trunk lines were already paralleling each other so that they cut disastrously Into each other's profits, nnd the most Important pnrts of the country were Joined together by the ribbons of steel Rnllroad stocks were declining in val ue, profits were becoming reduced, and capital was chary of investing In new enterprises of this character. What the country needed was more feeders country roads leading from farms, mines and producing lands. For months in the year the grent ngrlcul tnrnl sections were shut off from the railroads by almost Impassable country roads. Mills fnd manufacturing plants located on streams or water thnt fur nlsh excellent motive power could not mnrkct their products in winter. The logging camps and the mining compa nles were likewise helpless in winter. Thus for a good portion of the year the country commerce was paralyzed and the producing. centers were cut off from the world. SENATOR EARLE'S SCHEME. now lie Would Seeare Good Roads In This Country. The unique fjgure in the "good roads world" Is State Senator Earle of De troit. He was at one time connected with the department of good roads in qulrles at Washington as nn expert, which ofllce he wns obliged to relin quish upon his election to ,the sennte. ue iins a scheme which If put into practice would soon bring tho mlllen nlal dawn of good roads, says the Phil adelphln Isorth American. In explain ing ills scheme he suld: "Firpt, 1 would have the government make good rond tnups of each countv In the United States, showing all the public highways. I would have bad roads printed in red, fairly cood ones in blue and tbe improved roads in black. U'nese would be published in pocket rorm ana sold for 5 cents each at all postoracee. This would in effect com pel every farmer to see to it that his road was improved, for he would Boon see the advantage of having his farm locaiea on one of the Improved roadB. vuecona, J would levy a tax of 00 cents a year on every vehicle in the land. This alone would yield an an nual revenue of several millions. It would furnish all the funds necessary for tbe purpose. Tho tax would be a trifle and would be, cheerfully paid by moat people so long as it was to be de voted to the betterment of highways."
