CABLE CARS BUMr EACH OTHER

BumpinG Due to One Sliding Down the Hill
In Lexington Avenue at 1osd Street.
Two accidents added yesterday to the troubles
that travellers on tho lines of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company have to endure nor
mally. Tho first happened At $3.50 O'Clock in
tho evening. when car 900 Of the Lexington
avenue line slipped the cable while climbing the
hill at l0od street.
Gripman James McGrath put on the brakes.
bnt the car. with q dozen passengers IN board.
slid back down the hill and rammed its
back platform against the front platform of car
355. Conductor Brown was standing on the
platform of 900 and his thumb was crushed be-
tween the rails of the two cars. Both platforms
were smashed.
The force with which car 200 struck 355
caused both to bowl backward to the foot of the
hill. where they bumped against car All. Henry
Gerrity. the gripman of All. had the brakes set
on his car. and managed to stop tho procession.
The three cars contained about forty passen-
gers. half of whom were women. and. although
most of them were accustomed to riding on tho
cable cars, they became frightened and scream
ed. Policeman Cody of the East 104th street
station helped them from the cars.
The other accident came later when the
horses drawing q Madison avenue car became
frightened ~ the top of the steep hill at Ninety
fifth street. James Brodell. tho driver. kept
them running straight. and Samuel Lloyd. the
conductor. Quoted the fears OF the six pas
sengers.
The horses ran until one fell at Hath street
and brought the other to tho ground. The car
bumped against them ana stopped with 4 bang
that sent the PASSENGERS rolling in q heap on the
floor. No one was hurt.

BIRDS MINDED mr. M coLoRs.
n Connecticut Mas Bags Partridge with
Boards pntnted white.

THoAAsToN, Conn.,, Dec. A queer discovery
has been made by Charles jennings, a farmer
and hunter of Morris. 1t Is that partridges will
fly against large objects painted In light colors,
and thus cripple or XIII themselves, because tho
colors blind them. Mr.. Jennings believes That
the commonly accepted theory OF sportsmen
that cartridges, especially young ones in the
fall OF the year. commit suicide In this way, is
an error. lie has satisfied himself that a snowy
white color or n brilliant white light has an at
traction for the eye of tho partridge which tho
bird cannot resist, aud that while light colors
attract, they also blind the birds. so that tho
partridRes cannot Judge distances.
Mr.. Jennings's attention was first directed to
this matter by n number of tragedies ut his
front door. His house stands on n knoll near n
large tract of woodland. The dwelling was
painted n dark red, with n front door of daz-
cling white. last spring. Before this 1t was of n
wood color and no partrldaes ever we're known
to visit it. But early this fall the front door
began TO prove mn attraction for these birds
in septemher, one in October, and three
Inst month. AS they struck AGAINST no
iG HhSin part n 81 ih .sot h !, we. Mr. Mr. w Jhsnni i at
tho door that attracted them, and he decided to
make some experiments. He was confirmed in
into his lighted stable lantern as IL stood on the
ground in front Of his barn one night. The
Dlru s neck was broken ana the thlcK globe or
the lantern was shattered.
In open space in the woods Mr.. Jennings
stuck on end some wide boards. about ak feet
long. and painted almost snow white. and
awaited DEVELOPMENTS. That was about three
weeks ago. He set up four boards. and during
the first week he found three partridg yes dead at
the foot OF them. During the second week he got
two more pRrtridges in this way. when n light
snow fell and destroyed tho power Of attraction
which his boards had possessed, as 1t deprived
them of the dark background of the woods. AS
there has been more or less snow in the woods
ever since. he has not taken more birds. He has
decided 10 take In the boards for the winter, but
says he will put them out in larger numbers
next autumn. and that he. has not the slightest
doubt that he has solved the problem OF tho
partridge's eccentric flights.
Mr.. Jennings adds that the reason SO many
more of the young birds are killed in this way
than old ones is because the old ones are shyer,
and as n rule do not venture SO near the haunts
Of man as do their progeny.

STARVING
Sorry Experience or the Enierants who
Went 10 Brasil.


OTTAWA, Dec. 1.-THE most deplorablo ao-
counts have been received by the Government
here from the Canadians who last summer
emiRrated to Brazil In the expectation Of max
Ing q livelihood there. A thousand French
Canadians with their families had taken passage
on a chartered TO carry them from
Montreal, and IL was only with the greatest diff
flculty that some 500 of them were induced to
abandon the idea of going to Brazil the day the
steamship sailed. Those who went out there
are now implorlng the Government and their
friends to send them money to enable them to
return home.
Many have died from exposure, disease, and
want of food. A few managed to escape, and
worked their way north again, and they, know
ing the condition In which their countrymen
are now placed, are putting forth every effort to
help them to return to Canada. One of Thorn
says that when they reached Santos. Brazil,
they were huddlcd together in n barge like a lot
Of cattle and taken to Sac Paulo. their food
consisting of a piece OF dry bread and q little
cheese. At Sac Paulo they were showed into q
barrack. where they were kept in confinement
for eight days. The French Consul was very

Brazil the Government did everything in It's

This is about moods. Moods are caused by

Weather aud vicissitudes are frequently hold
responsible for a mental condition that is
caused purely md simply by tho liver.
It's u wOnIan's moods that make her the most
incOmprchensihlo of all the works of the Crea-
tor. Neither man nor herself can understand
her. Moods even shacKle the new" woman.
The mood that made woman u martyr a few
years ago has been overcome by fresh air and
physical culture. She now reforms everything,
and she sighs for new conqucsis because almost
every body has yielded To her theories.
Home atmosphere l. largely the result of your
moods. There's q washday mood. and a sweep,
ing-daY mood, and a dinner party mood, and a
financial mood.
These moods are as different as the glory Of
the moon from the glory OF the stars.
Any man can battle with one mood when it's
timely. It's the misht moods that perplex him.
