from moving omnibuses by means of the back somersault or the swallow
dive. We are also implored to make quite sure, before alighting from a
train, that it is really at a station.

As this admirable propaganda is only in its infancy, I submit the
following additions to its collection of horrors, which may perhaps
inspire others even cleverer than myself to evolve new methods of
protecting the public from themselves.

TUBES.

A picture of a widow wringing her hands with grief, and under it
this pungent hint: "This is the widow of a man who tried to light his
cigarette on the 'live rail.'"

A picture of a man who has been cut in half, with, say, a crisp little
couplet:--

"Here are two portions of Benjamin Yates
Who scorned the request to 'stand clear of the gates.'"

A photograph of the interior of a hospital ward full of patients,
with the following: "Interior of a ward in the Bakerdilly Hospital,
exclusively for patients who stepped off the moving staircase with the
wrong foot."

TRAINS.

A picture of a stately building standing in its own grounds with the
description: "The N.S.E. & W. Railway Orphanage for children whose
parents crossed the line by the track instead of the footbridge."

A picture of a decapitated body with the poignant comment:--

"Be warned by the ending
Of Ferdinand Goschen
Who leaned out of window
While the train was in motion."

And perhaps a few general hints such as:--

(1) In stepping off an omnibus always alight feet first.

(2) In crossing crowded thoroughfares, proceed through the traffic,
not under it.

(3) Before stepping from the pavement make quite sure that there is a
road there, etc., etc.

Imagination, colour--that's all that's wanted, and if this propaganda
is carried far enough the safety of the public will be assured, for
either they really will try not to be killed while travelling or
walking in the streets, or they will stay indoors altogether.

A DISCIPLINARIAN.

"SCHOOLMISTRESS'S RESIGNATION."

Miss ---- will have the satisfaction of knowing that she
has left her mark on those who have passed through her
hands."--_Provincial Paper_.

"Closing scores in the professional golf match were Newman
14,835; Inman 13,343."--_Provincial Paper_.

This high scoring was due, we understand, to the large number of
losing hazards whi
