CAUSE OF THE DELUGE.

The aboriginal blacks Of Australia have
a queer tradition about the food. They
say that at one time there was no water
on the earth at all. except in the body OF
an immense frog, where men and women
could not get IL. There was a great coun-
ell on the subject, and IL was found out
that II the frog could be made TO laugh
the waters would run out OF his mouth
and the drought be ended
So several animals were made TO dance
and csper before the frog TO induce him
10 laugh. but he did not even smile. and
so the waters remained In his body Then
some one happened to think OF the queer
contortions into which the eel could twist
itself. and II was straightway brought
before the frog And when the frog saw
the wriggling he laughed so loud that the
whole earth trembled, and the waters
poured out of his mouth in a great flood
in which many people were drowned The
black people were saved from drowning
by the pelican.

THE POPE DOESN'T FAVOR
THE WOMAN POLITICIAN.

Nearly every one in this country
knows that IN England many OF the wo.

electioneering at the different elections,
but to just how great an extent this has
become the custom is hard for an Ameri-
can reader to realize. On the Continent,
however, II is we'll understood. That IL is
not universally approved is shown by the
recent expression Of Pope Plus X, who,
according 10 a writer that signs herself
the "Marquse de Fontenoy," I'm the
Washington Post. has been very out
spoken In his opinions:
He heartily approves OF woman adopt

from their duties to their home and &c
their families. But the pontiff condemns,

is inclined to the opinion that the sudden applica-
tion of the air brake was in measure responsible
Tor the tearing OF the body OF the from the
trucks.
On this point he says: THE result of such a
checking would be that the body would tend to
leap forward and upward and separate from the
trucks. Something of this sort appears to have
occurred, for though the body must be raised
inches before II can separate from the running
gear, the swivel pins neither bent nor broken
Motorman Leuchner said he six passen-
gers on the running board the front platform.
Another witness with better view of the right
side OF the car, testified there were twenty men on
the running board
Is il not probable, therefore that when the air
brake was set and the sudden checking of speed
sent the body of the leaping forward and up
ward from the trucks, the weight OF the large
number OF persons the running board pulled the
from its normal balance to the right toward
which it toppled and finally fell?
If those passengers had been inside the car
instead OF outside on the running board, could he
body OF the car have been thrown on it's side

The public believes such would not have been the
result, and entertaining that belief it considers
nothing short of criminal the neglect of the traction
company management TO adopt and enforce rules
so obviously necessary to the safety OF trolley car
passengers.
1t has already been remarked that the coroner's
censure will not be likely to deter the Rhode Island
company from continuing its mischievous and
menacing practice of extracting profit from the
running boards of its cars and that remedial legsla
tion cannot be obtained from legislature in which
Braytonism is the controlling power.
But unsatisfactory and inadequate as the cor
oner's finding is to the people, the easy escape OF
the Rhode Island company may in the end bring
some measure of public good
1t is likely to make frmer the determination OF
the honest citizenship to destroy Braytonism which
prevents the enactment of laws to compel Perry's
Rhode Island company TO operate its cars in way
that will not expose the riding public to the con-
slant danger of injury death
