A Railway in q Room.

The smallest railway has been
built to the order Of Mr.. Percy II.
Leigh in an annex Of his residence at
Brentwood, Worsley, near Manches-

but one of the most marvellous toys

it is an exact replica of the track, To-

in a room 80 feet long and 30 feet
wide, and is raised on trestles three
feet high.

mYsoPHoeIA THE LATEST.
What This Learned Term Means &c
the Great Majority.

Tho medical profession has con.
ferred no small boom On many suffer
ers by inventing Greek. or pseudo.
Greek, term for their otherwise demo
cratic complaints, says the London
Graphic. The last OF these inventions
is recorded this week. The disease is
fussiness. and the medical name is
mysophobia. The mysophobe is he
who. when seated by his table. lifts
his glass to see II 1t is fingered. and
II he detects a smudge uses his nap
Kin to dispose of II. In short, myso-
phobia is the exaggeration of that re.
spect for cleanliness which convinced
Svengnli Of the madness of English
men when he surprised the Laird in
his matutinal tub. The lady In the
play who seized on everyone's watch
chain and began rubbing 1t with cha.
mois leather was mysophobe. and
the irritating man who begs your
pardon and picks some microscopic
piece of fun from your sleeve is an.
other. The servant who insists on
dusting papers is another. and the dis
ease is widely prevalent among all
housekeepers in the spring. 1t is nice
to know at last what to call 1t. but the
medical press is more inclined to sug.
gest scientific names than remedies.
