A Hollow Rail.

A hollow rail has just been invented
by J. C. Allendorph. The standard
now in use is 81 inches high with
5h inch base, and is solid. Mr.. Allen.
dorph's rail is 4 inches high, with a
6-inch base, and is hollow. There is
also a device for connecting these
rails which takes the place of the
familiar flsh-plate. It consists of a
plate 2 feet long and 6 inches wide,
and carrying an upright the length Of
plate, which fits into the hollow Of the
rails to complete the connection. It
is asserted that the danger of spread.
ing rails will be greatly minimized.
The present standard rail carries 30
pounds to the yard, while that of Mr..
Allendorph is only II. At $2S a. ton
for rails this would mean a saving Of
$517.76 per mile.

Some Cause for Gratitude.

A Park orator. having spoken for
two and a half hours upon the subject
of charity and the great work done by
institutions that are supported entirely
by contributions, concluded his Grafton
by saying that, with the permission
Of the crowd. he would send his hat
round, and would be grateful for some
little encouragement. His hat was
passed all round, but returned to him
empty; when he exclaimed: well,
now I come to look at what I've been
talking to, all 1 can say Is Thank
goodness, I've got my hat back!'"-

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such q bad condi-
ton that he was compelled to give
up a good position that he had held
for years. He was too sick to work.
His skin was yellow, and I hardly
think there was an organ in his body
that was not affected.
Il told him / felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee, and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
1T was a struggle, because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try 1t,
and then it was easy to leave on cof-
fee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent. his complexion began to
clear. kidneys grew better until at
last he was a new man altogether, as
a result of leaving of coffee and TAX
ing up Postum. Then l began to
drink II, too.
Although ! was never as bad on
as my husband, / was always very

The Arderney Breed. ,

1.-THE Attorneys and Jerseys are so
closely related and SO much alike in
appearance that the description given
for Jerseys will apply to them. They
can be classed as the same breed,
but bearing the name Of their island
home. The main difference is that
the Attorneys are smaller and more
delicate, and for this reason are not
SO much in favor"
The above passage was printed in a
book which I judge is in the hands
Of many farmers throughout the coun-
try.
When Channel island cattle were
lrst imported to the United States,
and for a long time thereafter, both
Jersey and Guernsey, and especially
the former, were called by many peo-
Pile Attorney cattle. The Island Of
Attorney is one of the Channel group,
and although the third In size is too
small to export any cattle. 1t prob
ably has no cattle except a few for
family use, and so far as records
show none were ever exported from
there. The name may have originated
from the fact that A%lderney. having
a good harbor and being nearer Eng
land, all the vessels carrying cattle
or produce from Guernsey and Jersey
formerly cleared from the Attorney
port before leaving the islands for
England. This may have given the
impression to early English importers
that they were Attorney cattle. and
the name so came to this country.
The fact is that there is no such
thing as an Attorney breed of cattle.

OF o
Curious Action of the Metal Whel
Cast In Mold.

Curious Action of the Metal Whel
Cast In Mold.
The action of fluid. cast iron in tha
mold is somewhat curious. When
poured into a mold in a state of fluid
ity, cast iron, and especially what Ia
known technically as very gray, ex
pands at the moment of solidifcation
thus giving a sharp impression In the
mold. The expansion, slight but very
noticeable, extends until in the pro
cess Of cooling the iron attains the
stage of red heat. Contraction then
takes place, with the result that the
cooled iron is noticeably smaller
than the mold.
In making patterns for iron castings,
therefore, patternmakers commonly al
low about al eighth of an inch pei
foot for shrinkage. The shrinkage In
castings, however, is by no means a
constant quality, but varies materially
with the proportion existent in the pat
tern, and the character Of the metal
used-as much as one-tenth Of an inch
per foot being allowed when casting
beams and only one-thirty-second OF
an inch with large cylinders.
In casting, therefore. thin strips, the
shrinkage of the length Is very great,
while In the thickness it is scarcely
appreciable. A square plate shrinks
little in thickness, but equally in width
and breadth; a fiat disk shrinks little
in thickness, but equally in diameter.
A thin ring shrinks more In diameter
than a thick one. When 1t Is known
that iron with different shrinkage from
that generally employed Is to be used
in a foundry, the patterns are altered
to meet the changed conditions.
Silicon, unless in excessive quaint.
ties, gives a gray, soft iron, which
has the minimum shrinkage. In many
cases a j~udicious mixture Of iron will
give the desired result without extra
expense in patternmaking. Charcoal
iron has usually a higher melting point
than that Of less pure iron made with
coke. 1t sets quickly in the
mold and contracts more. so that an
extra allowance for s%hrinkage must be
made in all patterns employed. 1t will
be seen from the above that pattern.
makers require special technical skill
as we'll as knowledge of the iron to be
used in casting for their patterns.
There are few employments which re.
quire greater specialized knowledge
of rather a wide range than that OF

WORRIED BY TOO MANY DEER.
Droves OF Them Interfere With Rail.
road Building in Mexico.

Droves OF Them Interfere With Rail-
road Building in Mexico.
Captain william Scott, who is build
ing the new line of the National Rail
road Company of Mexico from Monte
rey to San Miguel, says that the con
struction work is being badly inter
fered with by droves Of deer.
According to Captain SCOTS state
ment. the deer make raids on the con
struction camps and eat up the forage
intended for the mules Of the graders.
These attacks have become so fire..
quent and bold that it has been found
necessary to keep guards posted
around the camps both day and night
to prevent the raids OF the herds OF
deer.
The statement of Captain Scott is
confirmed in a letter Just received at
Austin, Texas, from Frank Poult, who
has a sub-contract on the road. He
says:
1.-The country through which this
new road will pass is simply a aunt
ers' paradise. never saw 81 many
deer in all my life. and | have been
something of a deer hunter in my
time.
The animals overrun our camps,
eat up our grub, stampede Jul mules
and play havoc generally. They are
in such great numbers that there is no
sport in shooting them.
II and most of the other sub-con-
tractors have issued orders for our
foremen to carry rifles at all times in
order to keep the animals from inter.
fering with the mems work. The other
night a bunch of deer, in which there
were several big bucks, entered our
camp and when fred upon by the
guards, broke and ran right through
our tents.
Some. of them got tangled up in
the tent ropes, and before they could
get away we had captured five of the
animals alive. We still have them
here in camp, and If it was not for
the expense of getting them to you !
would ship them up to Austin.
"On another occasion a drove of
the animals upset our meal tent and
nearly scared our Mexican cook to
death. The biggest nuisance we have
to contend with down here is the
wild deer.
II before knew that these
animals have so much curiosity. They
beat IN old maid in that respect.
There are very few settlements in
this part of the country, and no deer
hunting has ever been done. l sup
pose that this accounts for the bold
ness of the animals.
ut seems a shame to kill them un.
der these circumstances, but we have
to do it for u own protection. When
this road gets finished to Matamores,
situated opposite Brownsville, Tex, it
will open up a country which will be
the mecca of. hunters. But it will
not take long to kill OF the deer, al.
though they are apparently here by
countless thousands"

The Portland (Me.) Press observes:
An interesting scrap of information
from Washington to the effect
that the Agricultural Department pro.
poses to test the merits of the South
American plant known as "cupatorium
re ~bandenum," for sugar making. Not
to know cupatorium may be to argue
oneself ignorant, but the lame looks
fshy. 1t is possible, however, that the
plant is destined to beat the beet and
raise Cain with cane.
