Souse Very Straight Tails on Their 'Maks lug by a Farmer's Paper. For a long time this journal has advo- cated that road taxes should be paid in money, and the present system of statute labor be abolished. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman takes lip thie mat- ter and offers Boole suggestions about roads, and contenda that the abolition of the statute labor is not all, by any means. The farmer is a aovereign, and tie ouch ehould realize the tact that itie hie duty not to wait until he is taxed, but be 'will- ing to tax himself when the circumstances call for it. , And inthiaread business every farmermay save..m,oney by studying this subjeot, and sleingarhat he sees should be dono.. on his pica premises; and the first thing to be 'euggeoted is to remove every loose stone from the road wh.erever one is to be seen. This he, should do when trav- elling, making stops for the purpose. He will save morsey by this in more than one way, and the labor of it will be very small once it is begun. Where there is e wet Spot in the road, he may put a wooden culvert at a small ex- pense. That will save a lot of " work and rnuch annoyance to himself; and in many other ways he may do a public service and help himself at the same time. What we want in thia respect is more patriotiara and publie spirit, and it pays every time to prac- tice these virtues. , Th s writer tells what has been done in a Southern State in iin• proving the roads, and in a mountain coun- try where it is supposed to be very expen- sive to keep up the roads, In Macon County, N.C., they have had a special road law enacted enabling them to lay a tax of not more than fifteen cents on the $100 for the roads. Each township levies its own tax, as it may need, and the county collects it and pays it over to a board of township trustees, who are charged with the care ef the roads. The board consists of the jus- tices of the peace. This of course brings in all the. land owned by non-residents, who then pay their proportion of the costs. The residents in addition are assessed for four days' work, or the equivalent in money. The board of trustees take a personal super- vision of the work done, and as far as pos- sible let it on contract. This is a good law, and a year's experience has shown that it eaves two-thirds of the labor that has heretofore been spent for the same re- sults. The great thing needed, in a hilly coun- try especially, is to get rid of the surface water and prevent washing out of the work done. This has been accomplished by ditch- ing road -sides, making culverts, and by constructing the water -breaks with a foun- dation of broken rock well beaten down and then covered with earth. This prevents the cutting down of them, and resulting washing out ; and it will save 75 per cent. of the previously wasted money that has been put on the roads in the township re. ferred to. The great advantage of this system of raising money by tax is that a permanent road may be made to begin with, and it is then kept up at a very small expense—all the smaller- if everyone who travels the road by horse or foot will take the pains to repair small damages at once, or if the roadmasters will do it, and they may if they have a few dollars in hand to do it -whirs and if, as the- law -in question --pro= vides, they are liable to prosecution for failure to do it, and the trustees equally if they permit it. But nothing can be done until the needed public spirit is avrakehed, and kept awake, for the maintenance of the roads. One more thing is needed. This is a law doubling the tax of a person using a tire narrower than three inches, and reducing it one-fourth when a four -inch tire is used. This is, of course, on heavy vehicles, which cut the roads to pieces when the narrow tires are used. The wide tire is a service to the road, acting as a roller. Unfortun- ately, thia matter is not understood, and there is much error in regard to it. The draft of a wide tire is not increased, but diminished. When a narrow tire sinks into the soft ground, it is equivalent to going up a slope equal to the depth the wheel sinks and the small distance from the lowest point of the wheel to the level of the road. This is more than would be perceived at first sight, and increases the draft fully a fourth or more. Another thing should be well known— viz., that to travel in a rut is destructive to a road, and every driver should avoid following directly in the track of another wagon. By doing this the road may be made like a floor—all the more so if the wide tires are generally used. All this applies to the use of wagons in fields, but more so. Sheep in Plane of Cows. Whether it would pay to keep a small flock of sheep in place of some of the cows on a farm depeeds very much on the man. If he does net take to sheep he had better let them alone. But, if he will give the sheep proper foods, proper care and will breed judiciously, there is much profit in sheep, and more than in some cows,especial- Iv on hillsides. If a farmer is going to keep sheep he must make up his mind to take proper care of hem, and to feed them pro- perly balanced rations. Put enough sheep on a pasture to eat all the grass, weeds and bushes and give theni a liberal nitrogenous grain ration. In winter they must be put into warm barns and kept there till time to go out to pasture in the spring. Wheat bran and oil meal are two of the best foods. Plenty of pure water should also be fur- nished. Put seven to 10 sheep in the place of one cow. ' A farmer of our -iiequaintance has 1,200 sheep which he pastured, or near- ly all of them, in summer, at 2e. per sheep a week. Those kept at home are mostly pastured in orchards.—Farm and Home. To Prevent Milk Fever. Cows corning in in the summer time are apt to get too fleshy before calving, says a valued correspondent. About three or four weeks before the cow is due I bring her up and reduce her food. Preventing an accu- mulation of flesh Is a preventive of milk fever. A week before she calves I put her into a box stall. If she worries much I go in and curry her. The,currycomb or card is a great thing to introduce yourself to a cow. After she calves keep her quiet and avoid draftS and cold water. I have never cured a case of milk fever, but I believe I have prevented hundreds of cases. Soapsuds as Manure. Few persons know how very useful soap. suds prove when employed as manure. Applied to tho roots of vines, fruit trees, etc., they impart a vigor and rapidity of growth which is perfectly surprising.

Richard B. Burton. FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH, Paris was blookadeil—famished—at the point of death. Even the sparrows on the housetopwere few and far between, and the very sewers were in dangei of becom- ing depopulated. People ate anything they could get. M. Morisot, watchmaker by trade, was walking early one bright January morning down the Boulevards, hie hands in the pockets of hie overcoat, tooling hungry and depressed, when he unexpectedly ran against a friend. He recognized M. San - aster, an old-time chum ef the riverside. Every Sunday before the war Morisot um& to start at daybreak with his bamboo fishing rod in his hand, his tin bait and tackle box upon his back. He used to take the train to Colombes, and to walk from there to the Island of Maranther. No sooner had he arrived at the river than he used to begin to fish and continue fishing until evening. Here every Sunday he used to meet M. Sauvage, a linen -draper from Paris, but stout and jovial withal, as keen a fisherman moreover as he was himself. Often they would sit side by side, their feet dangling over the water for half a day at a time, and say scarcely a word, yet little by little they became friends. Oc- casionally they launched out into conver- sation, but they understood each other per- fectly without its aid, for their tastes and ideas were the same. On a spring morning in the bright sun- shine, when the light and delicate mist hovered over the river'and these two mad fishermen enjoyed a ioretaate of real sum- mer weather'Morisot would say to Ms neighbor: "Hein ! not bad, eh ?' And Sauvage would reply: I know noth. ing to bear it." This interchange of sentiments was quite enough to engender mutual understanding and esteem. In autumn, toward evening, when the setting sun reddened the sky and cast shadoWs of the fleeting clouds over the water ; when the river was decked in pur- ple ; when the whole horison was lighted up and the figures of the two friends were illuminated as with fire ; when the russet brown of the treea was lightly tinted with gold, and the trees themselves shivered with a wintry shake, M. Sauvage would smile at M. Morisot and say, "What a sight, eh ?" And M. Morisot, without raising his eyes from his float would answer: "Better than the Boulevards, bein 1" This morning, as soon as they had recog- nized each other, they shook hands warmly, quite overcome at meeting again under such different circumstances. M. Sauvage sighed, and murmured : "A nice state of things.' M. Morisot, gloomy and sad, answered, "And what weather ! To -day is New Year's day." The sky, in fact, was clear, bright and beautiful. They began to walk along, sorrowful and _pensive. aaid ,"Anr fishing, eh? What times we used to have Sauvage replied : " When shall we have them again?"' They went into a little cafe and had a glass of absinthe, and then started again on their walk. They stopped at another cafe for another glass. When they came out again they were alightly dazed, like people who had fasted long and then partaken too freely. It was lovely weather; a soft breeze tanned their faces. M. Sauvage, upon whom the fresh air was beginning to take effect, suddenly said ; "Suppose we were to go!" "Go where ?" "Why, fishing !" "But where ?" "To our island, of course. The French outposts are at Colombes. I know Col. Dumoulin; he will let us pass through easy enough." Morisot trembled with delight at the very idea : "All right • I'm your man.' They separated to fetch their rods. An hour afterwards they were walking fast along the highroad toward the town commanded by Colonel Durnoulin, He smiled at their request but granted it, and they went on their way rejoicing in the possession of the password. Soon they had crossed the lines, passed through deserted Colombes and found thern• selves in the vineyard leading down to the river. It was about 11 o'clock. On the other side the village of Agen• teuil seemed as if it were dead. The hills of Orgremont and San mons commanded the whole country round. The great plain stretching out as far as Nantarne was empty as air. Nothing in sight but cherry trees and stretches of gray soil. M. Sauvage pointed with his finger to the heights above and said : "The Prussians are up there," and a vague sense of uneasi- ness seized upon the two friends. The Prussians ! They hadsnever set eyes upon them, but for months past they had felt their presence near, encircling their be'oved Paris, ruining their beloved France, pillaging, inassitcring, insatiable, invincible, invisible, all-powerful, and as they thought on them a sort of superstitious terror seem- ed to mingle with the hate they bore toward their unknown conquerors. Morisot murmured : "Suppose we were to meet them," and Sauvage replied, with the in- stinctive gallantry of the Parisian : "Well ! we would offer them some of our fish for suppee." All the same they hesitated before ven- turint / into the country, intimidated as they were by the all-prevading silence. Eventually M. Sauvage plucked up cour- age : "Come along, let s make a start ; but we must be cautious." They went through the vineyard, bent double, erawling along from bush to bush, ears and eyes on the alert. Only one strip of ground lay between them and the rivtr. They began to run, and when they eached the bank they crouched down among the dry reeds for shelter. Moi ,sot laid his ear to the ground to listen for the sound of foot steps, but he could hear nothing. They were alone, quite alone ; gradually they felt reassured and began to fish. The deserted island of Marantha hid them from the opposite shore. The little restaurant was closed, and looked as if it had been neglected for years. M. Sauvage aim ht the first gudgeon, M. Morisot the's sond. And every Minute they pulled up th' lines with a littlesilviit eb- cct dangli. nod struggling on the hook.

The asuristielle warn; Pp* theh, becks. They heard nothing— they thought of mathing—the rest of the World wet as nothing to them, They eta. ply fished. Suddenly a 'mothered sound, as it were underground, made the earth tremble, The guns had recommeneed tiring. Morisot turue4hia head, and saw above the bank, far away to the lett, the vast shadow of Mont. Yahwism, and over it the white wreath of smoke from the gun which had juat been fired. Then a jet of flame burst for01 troel the tertreee in [mower, a rue- inent later followed by another explosion. Then others, till every second, as it aeem- cd, the mountain breathed out death, and the white smoke formed a funeral pall Shove it. M. Sauvage shrugged his shoulders. "They are beginning again," he said. M. Morisot, anxiously watching his float bob up and dowa, was suddenly seized with rage against the belligerents, and growled out : "How idiotic to kill one another like that." M. Sauvage—It's worse than the brute beasts. M. Morisot, who had just hooked a bleak, said : "And to think that it will always be thus so long as there are such things as governments." M. Sauvage stopped him: "The Repub- lic would not have declared war." M. Morisot, in his turn : "With kings we have foreign wars, with the Republic we have civil wars." Then in a friendly way they began to diecusa politics with the calm common sense of reasonable and peace -loving men, agreeing on the one point that no one would ever be free. And Mont Valerien thundered unceasingly, demolishing with its cannon balls French houses, crushing out French lives, running many a dream, many a joy, many a hope deferred, wreck- ing much happiness and bringing to the hearts of women, girls and mothera in France and elsewhere sorrow and suffering which would never have an end. "It'a life," said M. Morisot. "Say rather that it's death," said M. Sauvage. They started, scared out of their lives, as they felt that some one was walking close behind them. Turning around, they saw four men, four tall, bearded men, dressed as servants in livery and wearing flat caps upon their heads. These men were covering the two fishermen with rifles. The rods dropped from their frightened hands and floated aimlessly down the river. In an instant the Frenchmen were seized, bound, thrown into a boat and ferried over to the island. Behind the house they had thought un- inhabited was a picket of Prussian soldiers. A hairy giant, who was sitting astride a chair, and smoking a porcelain pipe, asked them tri excellent French if they had had good epOrt. A soldier placed at the feet of the officer the net full of fish, which he had brought away with him. "Not bad, I see, but we have other fish to fry. Listen, and don't alarm your selves. You are a couple of French spies sent out to watcb. my movements, dis- guised as fishermen. I take you prisoners and I order you to be shot. You have fal- len into my hands—so much the worse for yen. It is the fortune of war. Inasmuch, however, as you came through the lines you are certainly in possession of the pass- word. Otherwise you could not get back again. Give me the word and I will let you go." The two friends, livid with fear, stood side by side, their hands nervously twitch- ing, but, they anaweredsnot a word. . The officer continued : " No one need ever know it. You will go home quietly and your secret will go with you. If you refuse it is de`ath for you both, and that in- atantly. Take your choice. They neither spoke nor moved. The Prussian calmly pointed to the river and said : "Reflect, in five minutes you will be at the bottom of that water. I sup- pose you have families ?" Mont Valerien thundered unceasingly. The two Frenchmen stood perfectly still and silent. The officer gave an order in German. Then he moved his chair further away from the prisoners, and a dozen soldiers drew up in line twenty paces off. "I will give you one minute," he said, "not one second more." He got up leisurely and approached the two Frenct men. He took Morisot by the arm, and said in an undertone : "Quick ! Give me the word. Your friend will know nothing. I will appear to give way." M. Morisot did not answer. The Prussian took M. Sauvage aside and said the same thing to him. M. Sauvage did not answer. They found themselves once more side by side. The officer gave another order ; the soldiers raised their guns. By accident Morisot's glance fell upon the net full of fish on the ground a few steps off. A ray of sunshine lit up their glittering bodies, and a sudden weakness came over him. "Good -by, M. Sauvage," he whispered. "Good -by, M. laforisot," replied M. Sau- vage. They pressed each other's hands trembling from head to foot. "Fire !" said the officer. M. Sauvage fell dead on his face. M. Morisot, of stronger build, staggered, stumbled, and then fell right across the body of his friend, with his lace turned up- ward to the sky, his breast riddled with balls. The Prussian gave another order. His men dispersed for a moment, returning with cords and stones. They tied the stones to the feet of the dead Frenchmen, and carried them down to the river. Two soldiers took Morisot by the head and feet. Two others did the sante to San vage. The bodies swung to and fro, were launched into space, described a curve, and plunged feet first into the river. The water bubbled, boiled, then calmed down, and the little wavelets, tinged with red, circled gently toward the bank. The officer, impassive as ever, said : "It is the fishes' turn now." His eye fell upon the gudgeon lying on the grass. He picked them- up and called out, "Wilhelm." A soldier in a white cap appeared. He threw the flail toward him. "Fry these little animals for me at once, while they are still alive and kicking. Th ey will be delicious." Then he began smoking again.—Guy de Maupassant, in the Strand Magazine.
