The Giants and the Flood.

Among the many queer stories related
in the old Jewish Talinud is one con-
corning the action taken by the great
race of giants mt the me of the dcluGe.
According to Rabbi xliczer, when the
flood broke upon the earth the giants
exclaimed, "lf all of the waters Of the
earth be gathered together they will
only resch to our waists, and if the
fountains Of the great deep be broken
up we will stamp them down again. I"
The same writer, who was one of the
compilers of the Talmud, says that they
actually tried to do this when the food
finally came. Eliczcr says that Og, their
leader, planted his foot upon the foun-
tain Of the deep and with his hands
closed the windows Of heaven. Then,
according to this same queer story,
God made the waters hot and boiled
| the flesh from the bones of the naughty
giants.
The Targum Of Palestine also says
that the waters Of the flood were hot
and that the skin If the rhinoceros lays
in folds because ne was not allowed to
enter the ark, but saved himself by
hooking his horn under the sides Of the
vessel and floating with it. But the
water which was directly under and at
the sides uf the ark was not hot-the
rhincroceIos looscncd his skin swim
ming from n mountain peak to the side
of tho vessel. One account says that Og
and another giant named Lami also
saved themselves by taking refuge in
| the cool water under the edge If the
ark's hull. along with the rhinoceros.
One rabbinac authority quoted by Gould
i'll his ''Patriarchs and Prophets says
that Og saved himself by climbing upon
the top Of the ark, and that when Noah
discovered and tried to dislodge him h,
sworc to be slave to Nuah's family
forever if allowed to remains LGui.

ceedinO to York.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Aug. 8.-The
executive committee of the National
Democratic party held its first meeting to-
day. W. D. Bynum was chosen chairman
and John R. Wilson of Indianapolis
secretary. This committee on transpor-
tation was appointed: Hopkins of Illinois,
chairman; Falkner of Alabama and Hold
ing of Ohio.
The committee on campaign literature
is composed of Cutcheon OF Minnesota and
Usher of Wisconsin. Inasmuch as a
demand for sound-money literature is
simply tremendous the committee was
ordered to at once go about getting docu-
ments together. The demand, says Sec
retary Wilson, is particularly great in
Indiana. Messrs. Bynum and Wilson
were authorized to select headquarters in
Indianapolis to be used until the National
Convention at least. They have not deter
mined where permanent headquarters will
be located. An address to the public is
being prepared by the executive COM
mittee. Secretary Wilson says that it will
be ready for publication within week.
John ]. Rooney, secretary of the Demo
cratic Honest Money League of America,
with headquarters in New York, appeared
before the committee to offer the sound
money party all the aid that it can pos
slbly give. This league is month cid
and was organized for the single purpose
OF defeating the Chicago ticket. Major
John Byrne, formerly of Detroit, now OF
New York, is president and Ex-Governor
Flower of New York is treasurer. The
leagues minor officers and its member
ship, Mr.. Rooney says, are filed with
men prominently identified in the New
York business world. His offers of assist
ance to the committee were gladly ac-
cepted and he was asked to forward all the
literature at his command at once. He
notified the committee that two days after
Bryan makes his speech in New York
Bourke Cochran will make reply. The
committee has not yet chosen its commit
tee on finance. 1t will meet again in
