A FARM BOYS RAILROAD.
Toe Time and Labor-Saving Device
of an Ingenious Lad.


Of an Ingenious Lad.
Robert Nj. Tyler, aged II, has
built a railroad with rolling stock on
the farm OF his father, William M.
Tyler, at Bucks Hill, a suburb of
Waterbury. He showed consider
able mechanical skill in constructing
the roadbed and laying the rails
from the house through the fields
and over brooks to walnut grove
at the extremity Of the farm. Then
he built the car and put the engine
and boiler in place. It has proved a
very useful as well as creditable en-
terprise, much time and labor being
saved by it, and farm labor being
made much more attractive.
The boy thus describes his SYSTEM:
1.-The rails are Of steel, Tshaped, the
lightest made of this description,
weighing only eight pounds to the
yard-< The crossties are of chestnut,
three and one-half feet long, four
inch face and three inches thick.
The gauge is 26 inches. The grade
is quite steep in places, the steepest
being $40 feet to the mile
"The whole cost of constructing
the railway was at the rate Of 5000
a mile, the engine, boiler and car
costing about $500 more. The en-
CINE is rated two horsepower, stands
upright, is double acting, reversible,
and makes 800 revolutions a minute
The boiler is also a two horsepo wer,
upright, holding six gallons of
water. 1t generates steam rapidly,
can get up steam in five or six min
utes, and uses but little fuel
"This small engine and boiler will
propel a car up steep grade, draw
ing quite load. We find the en-
CINE and boiler very useful for othes
purposes, such as grinding grain,
cutting feed, saving wood, etc.
1t is interesting to speculate on
advantages to farmers who should
establish similar systems and then
connect them with others in the
neighborhood. = Hartford Courant

WILL MAKE GOOD FISHING.
The Wholesale Destruction Of Poto-
mac Bass to Be Stopped.

The Game and Fish Protective
association is working out q nlan
which it is expected will result in the
saving of 1,OOO,0O or more bass to
the Potomac river annually. Early
each December the water is drawn
off the Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
which runs parallel with the river.
When this water is drawn off, there
are numerous deep and shallow pools
left. In these the gamy black bass,
big and little take refuge, 1t has
been the custom To allow anyone to
fish the pools, and the fish have been
scooped up by hundreds. 1t is
stated that this wholesale destruc-
ton will not be permitted hereafter.
DR. George w Massamore, deputy
game warden, has spent a week
along the river, arranging plan to
save these fish. He found ready CO
operation from the fishing clubs and
residents along the stream. A valu-
able ally was found in Col. G. L.
Nicholson, superintendent OF the
canal, who has issued an order to all
lock- tenders and other canal en-
ployees instructing them to pro-
hibit the fishing of the canal by any
persons except the employees of the
Game and Fish Protective associa-
ton, who will secure the bass in the
pools and deposit them in the river
to increase and multiply
The part of the canal which the
association will fish as soon as the
water is drawn off extends from
Little Falls, just above Washington,
to point opposite Hancock, Wash
ington county. The fishing will be
done by hand-seines, seine 20 feet
long by 5 feet deep being used in the
shallow pools, and one about 100 feet
long by five feet deep in the larger
pools. 1t is estimated that it will
take six men to work the big seines
and three to work the smaller ones.
| The waters to be fished extend over
60 miles, and it is estimated that it
will require about two weeks to
complete the work. The bass Of all
sizes will at once be thrown into the
Potomac proper. The catfish, suck
ers and large carp will be sold. The
small carp will be killed, as these
fish are not desirable, as they are
destructive to the other fishes. 1t is
expected that by carrying out this
work the Potomac will in q few years
be the best bass stream in America.

The S ,rVant Girl,

AS an illustration of the latter
day requirements of servants,
correspondent sends me letter she
has just received in answer to an
advertisement for an upper parlor-
maid. The applicant writes an ex-
ceIlent hand, and expresses herself
with. one or two lapses-really
very well. Indeed, she would seem
to be valuable acquisition in any
household, if only from the fact that
she is quite accustomed to take the
head Of dinner parties" She; how
ever, has bicycle which would
have to be carefully housed for her,
and she would require a free after
noon weekly to ride it-starting a.
wheel, one presumes, in tights, from
area door. My correspondent, who
seems a temperate person, makes no
comment on this letter beyond re-
marking that, as she keeps eight
female servants, it would be rather
awkward if they all rode bicycles.

Told of Whittier.

Mrs. Ward tells a good story in
McClures OF Whittier. He was
driving a restless horse, and with
him in the buggy was Lucy Larcom,
talking a continuous stream of brill
liant IDEAS, deeply interesting to the
poet. The horse, however, grew
more and more unmanageabIe, per-
fectly uninfluenced by the high
minded company behind it, and
after Whittier had struggled with
him awhile he exclaimed: Lucy, if
thee do not stop talking till ] get
this horse in hand, thee will be in
Heaven before thee wants to-

The Houss Fly.

The astonishing abundance of flies
during the latter part of the summer
is accounted for by the estimate made
by an eminent entomologist that
the progeny OF a single house fly,
in the course of one summer, will
number 1850, 800. If it were not
for the inumerable enemies provided
by nature for the destruction OF the
hy, the whole air would be filed, by
the end of August, with swarms OF
flies which would render life insup-
portable.

Suppose you are a poor man. working

that silver dollar Is worth 100 cents, but
you know very well that 1t Is worth only
So cents. How do you know It? You know
it because the bullion In a silver dollar
cannot be sold in any mart in the world
for more than SO cents. Therefore, the
government is a cheat. Suppose you go
to the butcher to buy your Sunday beef.
You pay him dollar. but the butcher
knows the dollar il worth only 5S cents,

to the commercial value Of gold and sill

he was not ashamed to go to foreign
countries to find what gold and silver bull

The government had no idea Of impressing
any value on gold and silver by the exer-
