"A RIuI MAN's Work RooM.-The
| owner of the great Cornwall iron estate
in Pennsylvani' Mr.. Robert Coleman
has u fine mechanical taste aud pays
much attention to mechanics and engi
ncering. To facilitate his investigations
he has constructed circular railroad
with double line of steel tracks, inclos-
ed in a large building. The length of
the track is about one hundred aud fifty
feet with two sidings Patent safety
switches, electric crossing signals, safety
frogs, and the latest method of fastening
rails are employed. The turntables of
the miniature round house operate auto
matically. The three small locomotives
comprise every piece of mechanism,e every
rod, bolt, screw, lever, tire, cock, pipe, and
pump of the largest machines The
boiler jackets, rods and driver nickel
plated, and some of the bright work is
silver-plated. The cabs are of solid wal
nut, and the boilers proper and the fire
boxes are of wrought steel The ten
ders are of copper, and their water sup
ply is taken by scoops from watts on the
roadway while the locomotives are in
motion.
The locomotives are about four feet in
length, including the tender, and are
models of beauty. They are of English
design, so far as high driving wheels are
concerned, otherwise they are advanced
American mechanical ideas and have
many original appliances of Mr.. Cole
mans invention The locomotives are
fired up and set in motion. Around tie
tracks they go,while the millionaire own
er watches the movements of the minai-
ture machinery. Hours are thus passed
all sorts of experiments are tried, high
speed and low speed are compared to de
.termine the comparative effects of fric
ton, and other questions of railway econ
omy.- Scientifc .Iuerican.

Breeding Chickens,

In breeding for early market, it is I'M
portant to have a breed that grows rapidly
and ileshes up young; the skin should be
yellow, and if the feathers are all white,
both the chicks and old fowl will look
much better when dressed than those
with colored feathers The color of the
skin is important, yet half of the fowls
that are sent to market have anything
but yellow skin. Small bone, short
legs and a well rounded form are also
desirable and size, when full
grown, not less than five pounds, and
not over six before dressed, give the best
early chicks for market. None of these
qualities are an injury to laying hen;
and if to them are added good layers,
hardy and quiet, we have combined
the points necessary for both meat and
eggs

The question is raised whether il is
right to color butter artifcially. Since
the coloring of butter is probably due to
the coloring matter in the food, as well
as to the power of the COW to re
move the same from the food, the ques-
ton may be asked whether there is any
more wrong in putting the coloring into
the butter than in supplying food to the an
imal which will cause the COW TO give milk,
the cream of which will make yellow
butter. AT all events, as the coloring is
now made from harmless substance, and
the colored butter is as good and pure as
the uncoltrld (when properly done), and
as people prefer the uucolored butter, we
think the benefit of the doubt belongs to
the farmer"

Many people drag themselves wearily
about from day to day, not knowing
what ails them, but with failing strength
and spirits, feeling all the time that they
are steadily sinking into their graves.
If these sufferers would only use Par

and surely coming back to them, with

Near Sardis, Miss, there is an old cat
that. is rearing queer brood, consisting
of two cat kittens and three young rab-

field, and after guarding them until their
mother came, she caught and killed her
and then gathered up the three little
ones and brought them home to live
with her and her little family of kittens.
