The Safest Part OF a Car.
NeU York Sun.

Four men half hidden in the smoke cloud

ing which part of a car was the safest to ride
in. They finally agreed to leave it to the con-
ductor.
middle of middle car, rig t-hand side"
said the parsonage when asked.
Tho rapidity with which he spoke and the
mechanical manner in which he made the
reply, led one Of them to halt him as no was
passing on and ask him to explain himself
Why" said he, everybody asks me that
question, and l am so used to answering it
that I've got 1T down to tho fewest words
possible. / shouldn't wonder If you were to
ask mo that when am asleep if | would
answer it without waking up. Tho middle
Cur Of the train is the safest because it is
the furthest removed from a collision either
in front or behind. Even If an engine
plunged into an open drawbridge, it might
not take more than car or two with it..
Couplings would bo likely to break, you
know. Always sit in tho middle of u car,
because whom cars telescope they are apt not
to telescope many feet. AS you can't tell
which end will telescope, and as both ends
may telescope, take to the middle. Whatever
car you 80 in, sit on the right hand side of
the car, which is to say the side farthest from
the other track, because it sometimes happens
that freight projects too fur beyond a nat car
and rips the windows out of passing trains"
"Do railroad men observe these precautions
when they ridop
'"rhey have no precautions at all. Those
that l have mentioned are sensible, but you
can't always sit where you like, and there
are always plenty of people unlucky enough
to be killed wherever they sit Railroad

dents. They could not bo railroad mon if
