A writer in Al the Year Round saws
Perhaps the prettiest and most pOetical
tradition of the Tyrol is that of the
"Salige Fraulien.r Their very name
is descriptive, for "Salig" is, in all
probability, derived from "Selig"-
''blessedn or happy" Popular belief
depicts them as lovely maidens, clad in
snOw-vhite robes. with fiaxen curls.
and blue eyes beaming with sweetness.
Their sovereign Is the beDeiicent and
gracious goddess Hulda, the especial
patroness of the flax culture, which
may account for the chef home of the
legend being in South Tyroi, where flax
is, most cultivated. There have ALWAYS
been many superstitiOns connected with
flax. 1t is supposed that it will only
flower at the time of day at which it
was originally sown. He who sows il
must first seat himself thrice on the
sack, turning to the east. Stolen seeds
mingled with the rest cause the crop to
thrive. Flax. when IN bloom, acts as a
talisman against witchcraft, and sOrcery
can be practiced even with the dry
stalks. When the threads are spun or
woven into shirts under certain incanta-
tiOns, the wearer is secure from ac-
cidents or wounds. 1t was Hulda who
first taught mOrtals the art of growing
fax, or spinning, and of weaving it.
Her habitation is in the caves of the
mountains; there she dwells with her
maidens and their attendant dwarfs, in
splendid palaces and grOttOes, the walls
of which sparkle with inlaid gold and
Jewels, while the domed roof is of
transparent crystal. Moreover. there
are beautiful gardens, leafy woods aud
even verdant meadows, on which feed
countless wild animals, particularly the
clamOis-the especial favOrites of the
Salige Fraulien. However, the Salige
Fraulien did not always remain in Sc
clusion. In Olden times. before they
disappeared from the earth, the friend
illness of their disposition drew them
to the haunts of mankind for then
character was as attractive as their ap-
pearance, and its chief feature was an
unselfish benevOlence. LegendsOf theiI
numerous good deeds abound in the
0ber Inn Thai, the 0utz Thai, and the
Vinschgau, which are the poorest dis
tricts in Tyrol. t'-

Honesty.

Everybody says that everybody should
be honest; but everybody is not honest
either abroad or at home. That we
should be honest in our trade, weights
and measures, dealing with our neigh
bors and with strangers, is also clearly
right. That strong principle of integ-
rity should govern us-is just what
every man not only admits but believes
and contends for. There is no such
thing as being too honest. Honesty is
a virtue better than gold, richer than
rubies, more precious than gems and
costly trappings. 1t is much richer
adornment for manhood or womanhood
than wealth can purchase or place Sc
cure. To be honest is to be like child
and like an angel; and Christ said, of
such as little children is the kingdom of
Heaven. But we wish to write a word
"a strong word-in behalf of honesty.
There are many people who are honest
away from home. They make home
promises only to break them. As hus-
bands they make thousand and one
promises to their ives, and hint a
thousand good things and raise many
pleasant expectations, they never seem
TO think of again. As wives, they prac-
tice thousand little deceits, equivocate
many times, when straightforward
honesty was just the thing required.
As parents they conceal, go around the
truth, deceive and often actually falsify
to their children, when the truth is
always better, always the best. The
children see their parents double-deal-
ings, see their want of integrity, and
learn to cheat, deceive and equivocate.
The child is too often a chip off the old
block
