A HUMANE ACTION.
(To the Editor.) Sir.—Recently I was riding in a farnell car, which was driven by motorman 98. Just as we reached the top of the hill, and were turning into Parnell, the car came to a sudden stop—not at a stopping disc—and the motorman alighted, went in front of the car, and gently picked up a little kitten that had an injured foot, and placed it on the pavement, then remounted, and on we went. There was so much of humaneness, both in the act itself and in the wajj in which it was done, that it well deserves to be mentioned. Both motormen and conductors are often criticised, and fault is found with them; so it is well to speak an encouraging word when it is deserved.—l am, etc., OBSERVER.
