The general reader, as well ns railroail men, will readily note its imi'iue, eui iiius ami intereV i"S features. The road was i.uilt in the summer of 18S"3 ami the winter of 1ks-K. That winter was notalilo as one of tho most severe on record, the mercury for weeks at u time registeriug f rom 5 degs. to 'Si legs. lieloxv zero, ami tho snow heing de'p, which, with tho then high price of materials, made the cxixnse much more than it would cost to build the same road nt the present time. Tho exaet length of the road is l't.'J miles, independent of sidings. The co.;t of construction was fl'i'.l, '.'i'X of equipment, $2(1,470; total cost, if 105, bii i. The .s.tmo kind of st"el rails can now be bought from 150 to IJ5 per cent, less, and other materials are cheaper; so that what then ciksL about 1,000 jier mile to construct could noxx- lie done for $7XI. Tho rails are of steel, Caxvbridgo jiattern, aro J30 foot long, and weigh :K pounds to the yard. Number of ties used ier mile, 2,fi40. There are txvo engines built nt the Ilint Icy LK-oniotive works, Boston each weigh ing i.'(i,00() jxninds, with driving wheels IjO inches in diameter; aud their power, con sidering their small size aud weight, is simply surprising, as is shown by the way they con quer steep grades with heavy loads, and force their way with ploxx-s through deep snoxvs and huge drifts, by which they are seldom long detained. Tho two passenger cars (built at tho Laeonia Car works, Nexv Hampshire) are each 45 by C 1-U feet. Each seats thirty passengers one iierson to a seat, there being txx-o roxva of seats is ihii.shed in solid ma hagony, mid nicely upholstered. Between tho floorings of each car mineral wool threo inches d--ep renders them lire proof, prevents any cold air from passing, and deadens tho noise. Tlieso cars are run with little jar or nois'j on IS inch wheels, aro equipjed with the Miller platform and vacuum brakes, are elegant, cozy, ple;isant, comfortable, in short, are every way satisfactory, aud compare favorably with their more pretentious breth ren. The freight cars, somo twenty in num ber, are 2!3 by ti 1-2 feet, and carry ordinarily a burden of eight tons, although having a capacity of txvelve ton. There are also a baggage mail express car, a combination car, three hand and threo push cars, and a snow plow. All the trains aro mixed. They ordi narily tako one hour to accomplish the six teen miles of road, but have been run that distance in thirty-six minutes. Tho amount of coal required for the round trip thirty two miles is 500 iouiid. Tho heaviest grade :2GJ feet to tho mile) i near tho Hiram ter minus, and is on a half mile 20 deg. curx'e. There is another curve of IS degs. one of 10, one of 12, one of 11, four of 10 each, and a considerable number of less degree. Tho Central and South American inspec tion parties learned some, to them, surprising faet-3 in their forty minutes' rido from Hiram to Bridgton. They learned that tho little 'ii),000 iound locomotivo could draxv a well loaded trian up a grade of 200 feet to tbo mile; that it could easily round a 2J deg. curve; that the seeming recklessness of at tempting to run a train on rails only txvo feet apart proved a thoroughly safe performance, so far as any danger of a tip over was con cerned, oa account of the nearness of the cars to the ground and consequent loxvering of tho center of gravity; and that three essentials of safety, speed and comfort xx-ero abund antly secured. Our road was built fix-o years ago, ami in all this time not a passenger has Ik-cii injured, not an engine nor car over turned nor derailed, not a smash up of any kiiuL What better record could bo had? Thero are four other two foot gauge roads in Maine, the Sandy River, the Alotison, tho Franklin aud Megantie, ami another whoso niino I cannot now recall, varying from fifteen to eighteen miles in length. A fexv words, in conclusion, in regard to the two roads to bo built in the southern part of this continent, the possible adoi tion by which of the plan of the littlo two foot road away doxvn east drew these emissaries from tho south hither. Tho Central American road is to bo built by tho Honduras North Coast Railxvay and Im provement company, xvhostj president, S. li. ilcCarnico, lately inspected our road, and. will connect the port of Truxillo with Puerto Cortez, in the republic of Honduras, 115 miles long, for the development of tho trade in tropical fruits and vegetables, native xvoods, medicinal plants, minerals, etc., in which that region abounds. The route of the South American road is 110 miles long, and extends from San Lorenzo bay to Isbarra, about forty miles from the city of Quito, in Ecuador, the city being the capital of tho re public, with a population of l0,000, and lo cated at an elevation of nearly 8,000 feet abox-o sea level amftng the Andes mountains. Jt is the intention to complete the road to Quito, in time, the name of the road being the Pacific and Quito railway. There is not a railxvay in tho country, most of the traffic lK-insr done on the backs of mules, and it is projiosed to build this line to help the trade of that country with America. Charles O. Stickney in Boston Transcript. ALSO- Library - Lamps -OF- OiipBMisaMPaitBi! Protection Aniri-St Cold. A well knoxvn physician, whose experience enables him to speak with authority on the subject, gives the following advice for pro tection against cold when driving! "Provide vonrself with a eood kerosene oil lantern. well lilled ai;d triinuned, aud with sufficient oil if necessary for refilling, and you have the most efficient means for enduring tho v.l,l that ran ho trot This lantern, beina: lighted, and kept beneath any covering that is used to protect the limbs, xvill add mate rially to one's comfort who must make whiter trii. I will add. in connection with the lantern, that a rublier coat, gossamer or rub tier blanket is a most de";H"?We garment for a long, cold rido. If any one xvill try these suggestions he or she xvill never start out a "ain for a cold drive without the lantern and , , . i n.. ; . 1 gJJrP & Ijlj.iLli- . jrotection against a cold wind" AT THE USUAL Cheap Prices AT- A NEW YEAR'S SONNET.

Tli Charge of Ilio I'nture. Writing in 1S78 on tho conclusions to lo drawn from his study of th-? Ilu-Man cam paign against Turkey, t'aot. fJreeue, United States engineers, said: ''Four hundred incji, gnrrisoning a little redoubt of 1(f) y:m!s o.i a side, and firing lot!j from I lie parapet and the ditch, can now in twelve iiiii:ut;-s easily deliver 21,000 shots, n veritable hail of lead, each jiellet of of xvhich, if it strides 'a vital part, is fatal, up to a distance of a mile und a quarter; and if but one in twenty ofthefe bullets finds its billet, the defenders will have destroyed 1,200 men during the time that the assailants are passing over this mile and a quarter, i. e., three times their own number." In 18iJ tho possible destruction was less than a twelfth of that in ls7. But it must be allowed that the possible destruc tion in 1S83 will have doubled that of 1-Sv and the defense will have corres:xjnilingIy doubled its power. So tho attack xvill be in tho future weaker than ever, whether against works or mere field intrenchineiits or l illo pits. Now York Times. Medieal Inspectors for Schools. Medical inspectors of schools are being gradually appointed in all tlio civilized states of Euroc. Tho Hungarian ministry of edu cation has just issued an ordinance for the appointment of public school doctors. It will be their duty to periodically inspect the school buildings as to their light, ventilation, water supply, retreats, the number of pupils to the cubic space occupied, etc. ; to examine each pupil separately as regards the general health of body, more particularly tho eyes aud ears, tho capacity of chest, the teeth, hair, skin, etc. They must keep special ac count of thoso that are sic!: or convalescent ; in case of infectious diseases the dix-tor must see tho patients at their oxvu homes. lie must keep a special account of tho iafluenco school lifo exercises upon tho bodily heali'a and mental development of each pupa. Chicago Nexvs. Origin of tho Sandwich. Of the millions of travelers who l;avo par taken of tho luscious sandwich r.s they traveled through lifo and dined at tho gorgeous railxvay lunch counter, few prob ably know whero this hunger iimihilating viand got its uniquo name. It was not from the islands in the Pacific or-can, as some sup pose, nor from tho sa:xl "wich"' is found in somo of them. The sandwich i.j tl.o inven tion of Lord Sandwich, an English aristo crat, xvho was such an inveterate gambler that ho would not leave tho paining table, and had slices of meat placed bc t v. een slices of bread,;xvhich he devoured ih-ring tho prog ress of tho games. Hotel V.'orliL Lemon .7 nice for Nose IJleod. Dr. Genouil xvrites to Tho Bulletin General da Therapeutique that, after hnving tried various means to arrest epistaxis in children, he tried lemon juice, and for twelve years has had from its use tho best results, witli i:o failures. His method is, first to wash out tl:o nostrils with an ordinary urethral r.yri::r:e, and then, having removed all clots, ha in jects with the syringe the juice of the freshly squeezed lemon, lio found that almost al ways one injection is snClcient to stop t'ia bleeding in two minutes. Ho did not fci such results from using citric acid. Popnlir Science News. I'lro Alarm for Horses. A Now Yorker has invented a method of saving horses in case of fire. Tho devico is to be worked by either electricity or Lan.L When the temperature rises to a certain point a bell rings. At tho same moment the stable doors fly open and 1 bo horses aro au tomatically unhitched, whilo two streams of water spurt from the wall at tho right heit to strike tho horse in tho face. To cseapo tuis ho backs out of the stall and perceives tho road to safety through tha open iloors. Chi cago Times. What Recomos of tho Antlers. Dr. C. A.
