A NIcERIaN LEGEND.

that relates the origin Of mans sub
lection to women.
AT the beginning Of things. the le-
gend runs. the world was peopled by
women only. One day the earth god.
Awbassl Nal. happened by accident 70
kill a woman. On hearing this the rest
gathered together and prayed that. If
he meant to slay them be would bring
destruction on all together rather than
kill them one by one.
Awbassi was sorry for the GRIEF he
had caused and offered as compensa-
lion to give them anything they should
choose out Of all his possessions They
begged him to mention what he had to
give and said that they would all cry
Yes" when be named the thing they
wished to have
Awbassi mentioned one by one all
his fruits. fowls and beasts. but at
each they shouted No" at length
the list was nearly ended-only one
thing remained 10 Offer
"Wlll you. then. take man" asked
Awbassi at last. "Yesl" they reared
in a great shout, and. catching hold OF
one another. danced for Joy at the
thought Of the gift Awbassi was send
ing.
Thus men became the servants Of
women and have to work for them to
this day.

RAINING CATS AND DOGS.
Various Explanations Of the Origin 81

This Expression.
Many explanations have been given
If the origin Of the expression raining

Or cataracts. Another explanation IL
that the male blossoms Of the willow

were called seats and dogs" in some
parts Of England. where they increase
rapidly after a few warm April show
ers. and the belief prevailed that the
rain brought them.
Others trace the saying to northern
mythology. in which the cat Is said to
have great influence on the weather,
and sailors still have a saying. THE
cat has a gale Of wind In her tall"

that rode upon the storms were said
to assume the form Of cats. and the
stormy northwest wind Is called 4the

even at the present day. Then the dog
is symbol Of wind, which in old Ger
man pictures Is figured as the head Of
dog or wolf from which blasts issue
The cat therefore symbolizes down
pour of rain; the dog, strong gusts OF
wind, which accompany 1t. and SO
