IN A RAILWAY SMASHUP.
The Proper Thing to Do " You Have
Time Enouqh.

If you were passenger on rail
road train that collided with another,
jumped the track, ran into an open
Switch Or fell a victim to any of the
other misfortunes that railroad trains
are heir to, what would you do or
what do you think you would do?
A writer in an engineering journal,
after describing from his personal OBJ
servation what most passengers do in
such times of stress and peril-that is,
"stand up and howl"-gives what he
calls sound advice, which is simply 'to
drop upon the floor, preferably in the
aisle, or cling to the seat frame"
That advice is not only sound, but
simple. The trouble, however, is that
not one person in ten can tell with
any degree of certainty to what eX-
tent the same kind of mental demoral-
ization that causes the volunteer fire
man to throw mirrors out of the win
dow and tenderly carry feather beds
downstairs would possess him in such
an emergency. The man who believes
with absolute conviction that he
would remain calm, cool and collected
under all circumstances may be the
very man who would make a mental
aviation fight that would cause the rec
ords of the champion aeronauts to pale

Portuguese Burial Custom,

They have an unusual mode of burial
In Portugal Instead of the headstones
and monuments of the graveyards Of
other countries the cemetery of Lisbon
shows rows and rows Of tiny chapels
ranged in long avenues bordered by
cypress trees.
The Portuguese are reluctant to bury
their dead out of sight, and these
chapels serve as mortuaries for the cof-
fms, which are placed on the shelves
within. Through the iron grills the

SPARE THE OLD THINGS.
A Plea For the Preservation of Keep
saI<es and Sentiment.


Most everything is being sacrificed
nowadays to the spirit Of PRACTICABLE
ity. Old love letters are destroyed be-
cause desk room is needed. The
spreading oak that marked for dec
AIDES the turn of the road is sacrificed
to give room to a modern electric sign
that tells the same story. The baby's
first pair of shoes, vice. dainty and soft
as they are, are thrown in the trash
pile that tn re may be room in the top
drawer for the powder box.
All Of this destruction Of "auld lang
syne" sentiment and the basis of remi-
niscence is chuck full Of wrong. The
most interesting place in or near
Washington is Mount Vernon. The
most magnificent square in Philadel-
phia is Independence hall. The most
valuable spot in Texas is the old
Alamo at San Antonio Such places
as these contain the story of Ameri-
can history, and the citizen who views
and thinks while viewing-and no one
can view without thinking-becomes
instantly patriot, likewise a better
husband and q better father.
Keep the old love tokens. Don't de-
stroy the 'old gray bonnets." Treas
ure the little shoes. Save youths love
letters. And we may not have as
much room, but we will have more
sweetness, and there will be more
heart In the world.-Wichita Beacon.

The primary colors shown in the

Of the light waves that give us violet

the question sprang, Were these longer
waves represented by cClors which we
don't see, colors for which we have no

no conception? And was the same
thing true of the waves which, grow

course, for myriads of colors beyond

are doubtless represented by colors
which no human eye can perceive, no
human mind imagine. 1t is with sight
as with sound. We know now that
there are noises louder than thunder

THE DEATH OF A CAR.
Dramatic Story of the Way Nicholas !.
Committed Suicide,

There are various stories of the death
Of the Car Nicholas L. Here is one
which the great singer Mario heard
from doctor of the court and which
Is told in "The Romance of q Great
Singer"
when the Russian army was meet
ing with reverse after reverse in the
Crimean war the car sent for his doc
tor and demanded to know which was
the quickest and most painless poison
that he knew of, bluntly telling the
startled physician that he had re-
solved to commit suicide. He further
warned the doctor in the stern manner
were not obeyed the doctors life would
be worthless. He sharply silenced the
mans nervous remonstrances and CON-
manded him to bring the poison. Ths
doctor did not dare to refuse and few
minutes later brought small vial
containing the poison, which he as
sured the czar would deprive any one
Of existence In a few minutes. To be
sure that he had been obeyed and that
the doctor was speaking the truth tn !
car obliged him to remain in the room
warning him that If the poison faile'l
his life should answer for 1t. The car
took the poison without the least ire
NOR or the movement of a muscle, and,
although twice told by the doctor, who
held his watch in his hand, that there
was time to save him by an antidote
should he alter his mind, the car re-
fused, answering the second entreaty
by simply waving the man away, he by
that time being unable to speak. 1t
was given out that the car had died
from the effects of a severe chill, but
those who knew the facts also knew
that he had committed suicide rather
than face the defeat of his army"
