GOOD ADVICE.

Much may be done t., prevent the Group
by the exercise of god judgment in the
care OF children. Some parents make
their children very sensitive and delicate
by excessive prudence. A child kept in
the house and treated like a house plant
can hardly be prevented from encounter
ing rude blast of wintry weather by the
oversight of some one havin. the care of
it. Ii IS better II t,Isien til, chill b.
clothing it warmly and give it go,l
airing every day, either in walking or
riding. The mistake should not be m ide
of putting fur or wooden about the throat.
Tougher the throat as you do the face.
lie sure that the extremeties are as warm
ly clad as the trunk of the body See to
snowwater, and still avoid the use Of
rubberS, unless, if necessary, pair Of
low sandals be used to protect the soles
Of the feet. One more hint to over-pru-
dent mothers! Do not cover the child too
warmly when put to bed. Nothing is
more Liable to give child cold than
to be mutiied in too many bllnkets OF
spreads of some kind. for AS soon as 1t
gets into al uncomfortable psrspiration
it will free itself from cumbrouS cover
ing, and then By a sudden hecking of
the perSp:ration contract a cold. There
is absolutely more danger from excessiv
than too little covering-Dr. Roots

The Green Mountain Railway.

Wegather from our exchanges the follow
ing particulars relative To the novel railway
now about completed TO the summit Of
Green Mountain: The line is 6.0OO feet in
length aud soon will be extended 300 feet
further, 50 that its terminus on the summit
will he at the hotel. The lake terminus is
go feet above the sea level and the summit
is $40 feet high, making the eleya alton at
tanned by the railway, l,210 feet. The
steepest grade is rise of one foot in three
while at Mount Washington the road rises
in some places at rate of thirteen feet IN
thirty six, or slightly sleeper than at Mount
Desert. This line has been constructed IN
a most substantial manner and is much
superior to the White Mountain road. The
irestle work characteristic of that railway is
entirel, done ava, here and the road bed Is
the solid ledge nearly the entire distance.
The face of the rock was cut away to a
plane upon which were bolied cross timbers,
on which stringers were laid and in turn,
crosstles all fastened together in the most
secure manner.
1t is the third railroad Of its kind-the
first one being that to the top of Mount
Washington, aud the second that on the
Righi. IN Switzerland. 1t is by all odds the
best as well as the latest. according To the
verdict of the excellent Railroad Com
missionerS of Name, two of whom are civil
engineers and practical railroad contractors.
his Kind of railroad is really an iron lad
der, the rungs of which are but two or
three inches apart, and the train climbs il by
means Of the steel toes Of the cog-w heels
geared 10 the power of the engine.
As one sits on the forward sloping seat Of
the car. which becomes level as the floor
measures an angle Of forty. FIVE degrees or
more. ii looks frightful risk. this climbing
the sheer precipices of the mountain. But
an examination Of the gearing and construc-
ton puts 10 flight anything like nervousness.
he thick, studded steel teeth of the cog
wheel. IN the first place, do not in the least
look like breaking off; but if one should
give way certainly not all the four. which
are always entering or just about taking
hold of the rungs at the same time. Nor
are the wrought-iron, hand fastened rungs
likely 10 give way for each with possible
but not probable weight of twenty tons Of
