Conscious During a Fall.

Every time workman falls from a
forty story building there are people
to say, well. he probably didn't feel
1t when he struck" There is little or
no basis for this belief that a person
is dead or unconscious at the end Of O
long fall. Our surviving jumpers from
Brooklyn bridge prove this. and that
a person retains consciousness is
shown by the case of the English boy
who fell down pit some $50 feet deep
and shouted Below three times on
the way down. One theory is that a
person falling would not be able to
breathe, but train at sixty miles an
hour is moving faster than one would
move in falling hundred or so feet,
and no one pretends that one would
die Of suffocation IL he put his head
out the train MISUNDERSTANDING

A INUNDATED MONKEY.
The Crippled Old DespotW Made to
Feel His Miuhty Fall,

The following amusing story is told
by ]. L. Kipling in his MAN and Beast
In India" Of the humiliation of mon
key whom physical disablement pre-
vented from maintaining his despotic
position as leading male of the troop:
"One morning there came monkey
chieftain. weak and limping, having
evidently been worsted III severe
fight with another of his own kind.
One hand hung powerless, his face
| and eyes bore terrible traces of bat
tie. and he hirpled slowly along With
pathetic air Of suffering, supporting
himself on the shoulder Of female
a wife, the only member of his clan
that had remained faithful to him aft
er his defeat.
1--WE threw them bread and raisins,
and the wounded warrior carefully
slowed the greater part away in his
cheek pouch. The faithful wife, see
ing her opportunity, holding fast his
one sound hand and opening his
mouth. deftly scooped out the store of
raisins. Then she sat and ate them
very calmly at safe distance, while
he moved and chartered in impotent
rage
'He knew that without her help be
could not reach home and was fain to
wait with what patience he might till
the raisins were finished This was
probably her first chance Of disobedi-
ence or Of self assertion In her whole
life. and am afraid she thoroughly
enjoyed it."

Just as a waiter began to pour coffee for a quick eyed little woman, she said, "Oh. wait; l must get out. Just theri by that tie" mottoning, 'I see a big four-leaf clover" The waiter brough it, and the passengers exclaimed "ho lucky and the little woman said, Tt will bring good luck all the day"

 By this method, the employees of the company are given an incentive to start a savings account, and while the interest allowed is nominal, it must be conceded to be generous, as the amounts placed on interest will at no time be very extensive, still the time and attention incident to car ry ing the various accounts will need considerable care. and the fact that the money so deposited is in safe hands. hands which are as reasonably safe as those of the great banking institutions throughout the States the officials of the company who have brought about the possibility of such an arrangement should receive the thanks of the men who take ad- vantage of the offer.
