BREAD MAKING MACHISE.-A bread
making machine is the latest Yankee in
vention. The machine consists of deep
bread pan, within which two polished iron
rollers are made to revolve by means of a
crank and gearing, in such way as to
mix the materials and knead the
dough in the most thorough manner
You have only to put in the materials and
turn the crank for about ten minutes. and
the dough i, ready for rising, or for the
oven, according to its kind. The machine
cleans itself, and there is no necessity for
touching the dough with the hands until
it is ready to be transferred to the pans
for baking Many families fail to obtain
good bread from insufficient kncading =
With this machine the process is so easy
that good bread can hardly fail to be made

bread that fine porosity 50 much admired

generally sixteen inches. In each Of the
Twelve wears after birth. one-twelfth is
added to the stature each year. Between

er diminished after this. up to twenty-five,
the period of maximum growth.
= I'm old age, the height of the body d.
minishes on an average OF about three
inches The height of woman varies less
than that of man in the different countries.
The average weight of a male infant is
about seven pounds of female, about
ak and half pounds. The weight of an
infant decreases for few days after its
birth, and it does not sensibly commence
gaining until it is week old. At the
end Of the first year, the child is three
times as heavy as when it was born. At
the ace Of seven years, it is twice as hea-
Wv as when year old. The average

COLLISION on THE B. g. o. R. R.
Conductor Iwured.-A collision occurred
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on
Thursday night, near Glover's Gap, by
which Conductor r. A. French, was
painfully though not seriously injured.
The accident occurred in this wise:---
The heavy snow drifts greatly disar-
ranged all the trains on the road, and Mt
Warrington, on the night mentioned,
three western bound trains, the Light
ming" Express, and Accommodation,
were all at the depot together. Tho Con-
ductors conferred together, and agreed to
send the Accommodation ahead, as it
was the lightest train. The Light
ming" followed, and then came the Ex-
press. The three trains were to run to
Glover's Gap and there switch off, in
order to allow Eastern bound trains to
pass. The Accommodation train was
being switched off, when the "Light-
ming" came along at full speed, and ran
into, the rear end of it. Con-
ductor French, who was standing at
the rear end of his train gave the prop
er signals, but seeing that collision
was inevitable, he jumped from the
platform of the car and rolled over an
embankment. His shoulder was dislo-
Gated, and other portions of his body
painfully bruised. His wounds were
dressed, aud he took the Eastern
bound train and returned to his
home in Cumberland. The rear
car of the accommodation train
was badly damaged, but none of the
passengers were injured in the least.
Damages were repaired as soon as pos
sible, but the trains did not reach here
until three o'clock yesterday morning.
