Railroad Gauge.

Very mrc1 the greater part of the rail.
road system of this country is of what is
known as the STANDARD gauge,"-that is,
the distance between the rails is four feet
eight and one-half inches. 1t has never
been understood how this particular
gauge happened to be first adopted,
though several accounts have been given.
Besides this gauge there is the abroad
gauge" of five feet six inches, and of late
there have been number of roads built
which have distance of three feet, or
even less, between the rails.
The broad gauge has been going out of
fashion lately, and the Erie Railway,
with its connections, is the only import
ant line that still maintains it. The
Grand Trunk, which reaches from Port.
land, Me-, to Detroit, through Canada,
has abandoned it; and only last month,
the whole system of railroads in Maine,
east of Bangor, with part of the New
Brunswick roads, narrowed the gauge
down to the standard.
A great deal has been written in favor
of the narrow gauge, of about three feet.
As being cheaper both to build and TO
run. The claim for it has been strenu-
ousiy denied, but it is question for ex.
perts. and one not To be discussed here.

After More Hay.

It needs bit Of imagination for the
full enjoyment of the anecdote. Uncis
Silas didn't like to be beaten. Though
his youthful days had been left very far
behind him, and, the frosta of more than
three score years had silvered his heA1,
yet be really fancied that he Wa physi-
cally a. young - ever. He was . abort,
dumpy, happy hearted man, fond Of his
joke, and particularly fond of the good
things of life. One day, out in the hay
field, whittier the ox-team had been driven
for load, the old man declared that b.
could load hay a. we'll and ~ fast 10 he
ever could; and it was known that in his
younger days, placing the hay upon the
load had been his forte. His two ncphews
did not fatty dispute him, but they Clear
~ intimated thathe clearly overestinisled
bis powers.
Whew! Uncle Silas leaped like play
full dog. He would just like to show
them; and he issued challenge. He
said be could load the hay - fast - the
pair of them could pitch it on.
The boys accepted the challenge, and
the old man mounted the hay-rack, fork
in hand. And then the work commencsd.
The boys lifted large forkfnls rapidly.
While the body Of the rack was being
filled all went we'll enough, but when the
load began to swell above and hey 'nd
the points Of the stakes, and it became
necessary to place each forkful in its
proper place for bidding the mass next
below, things became little mixed upon
the top o. the cart. Still Uncle Snss
yelled out, ut the top of his voice-"M"re
hay More nay! Drat it, boys! You d.n't
half keep me busyw
The boys let in. The hay went Up
thick and fast, and the old mans putting,
as he struggled to keep his head ABOVE
the food, could be plainly heard. Al
length, what with his struggling, and his
choking, and his being blinded under the
thick coming mass, and the clumsy, III
fashioned manner in which the last zcn
forkfuls had been suffered to rest ~hs, Q
they had fallen, the top of the load slid
of upon the ground, and the old man

4 competent medical electrician must have thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and must have made Disease study.
 ;. Not every one who happens to possess an electrical battery, can apply electric ity understandlngly and with beneficial results. ...,
 There are those who pretend to be medical electricians, who. know no more about the nature of electricity than does child, and whose knowledge ot anato- my and physiology has not begun to manifest itself but though such persons happen, occasionally, to effect 8 cure they know not how-7tho benefit to the few Is more than coaHGerbalsnced by the injury to the many, so it is evident that persons who desire electrical treat ment, should go only to the skilled opo- rator whose reputation as such cannot be disputed.
 Dr. J. D. 8. SMITH has had nine years experience as a medical electri- cian, five of which were with the late Dr. s. W. Beckwith of Phila., whose practice was the most extensive of any medical electrician in America, and the remaining four years of constant prao- tiee have been in Bridgeport, where hundreds of patients can testify as to his ability as far as their own cases are concerned. a' ,1
 The Dr. has, at considerable expense, fitted up his offices with all the conve- niencies requisite for the thorough ap- plication of electricity, and during the last four years he has, by close applica- tion to his profession, and his untiring efforts to ameliorate the condition of his patients. built up large and constantly increasing practice, His charges are reasonable, and are not varied from ex- 'eept to the poor. Many persons have given up hope. when thes could have been cured by electricity in skilled hands. so it is important that those sui fering with nervous and chronic diseas- es should call on Dr. Smith for consul tation, which is always free, and find out whether their cases do not admit of cure. If not, they will be frankly told SC. EYE -# .,. ..
