Heavy Cars the Safest.

Every commercial traveller has ~
opinion of his own as to that position
which makes a car the safest one in a
rain. Some Of them hold that it is the
cns next the baggage car; the majority
MAINTAIN that the centre of the train is
The least dangerous, while there are still
Individuals, in the minority, to be sure,
yho favor the rear Car.
These opinions have been gainel iu
many instances from practical experienc-
in railroad wrecks, which are, OF course,
By no means infrequent in certain sec
lions OF the country. As such they are
untitled to consider alton, but the dis.
rmilar views really 60 to show that the
position OF a car in train as regards its
srea!er or less safety is a matter OF
speculation alone.
Upon one matter, however, all the
.ravelinS men agree, and that is that no
matter what the position of the car is,
the safest ones OF all are the heavy Sleep
ing, parlor, bullet cars and the like.
They are commonly referred to by the
drnmners ''as better than an acciden,
policy" There is every reason for the
holding of this favorable opinion of these

Pre- elce of Mind.

Last summer boy of whom we know
-and he is only eleven years old-sprang
into the water when the boat in which
be had been rowing upset-and rescued
rom drowning both his mother and

A few weeks ago two children wers

would have been killed had not au Italian

The truest heroism was displayed In
10Th these cases, and, in addition, there
vas another quality-referred to only

way up in the social scale. They
took seats in one Of the cross seats in

her laugh. That laugh revealed a
void where pearly teeth should be,
and the charm was broken.
1t must have been the first time
the young woman had laughed sinca

startled the car by exclaiming:

The SILK of Spiders.

In a French publication there Is :.
'aper by Rev. p. Cambone on the silk of
piders. After giving a history of the
'ttempts to obtain and use the silk of
piders, he gives tome interesting expert
nents OF his own, made on a large orb
weaving spider of Madagascar. He finds
that the spider furnishes the most silk
after she has laid her eggs. From one
spider there was obtaiued In twenty
seven days nearly four thousand meters
Of silk-oyer three miles. The silk was
OF golden yellow color. lie gives the
plan OF an apparatus for winding the silk,
which. however, as he says, Is imperfect.
Nothing, however, was done as to tho
raising and keeping of the spiders in
large numbers, undoubtedly the most
.erious question.
