Francis that he sanctioned the organi- zation.
 If is said that the saint went to Da- n,ietta and presenting himself to the Sol dan offered to prove the truth of his mis- sion by passing through fire if one Of inc Imauns would do the same. But the soldan deemed him mad and sent him back home under guard.
 So anxious was the good man to dis seminate his principles that he used to preach to the birds and when tempted by thoughts of luxury he would throw his body among clumps of thorns. which thorns ever afterwards bore roses and such thicket is to this day shown in the garden of the church by Assist. In preaching to the ignorant he showed them representation of the birth of Our Lord and it was over ths Presepio that the first Christmas carols were sung
 When the gbod man slept his last sleep upon his bier the marks of the stigmata were plainly discernible upon the corpse,
 As an adjunct to the Franciscans we find the Poor Clares founded by Ste. Clara, a native of Assist She made her profession at the door of the Porzion- cula and wonderful are the legends re- corded of her piety and power. It is
  Assist, Clara rose from a bed of suffer ing and leading her band of nuns to the gate of the city. knelt before the enemy as she sang Thou hast rebuked the heathen." The result was most nlirac- ulous for the Saracens turned and fled panic stricken.
 similar story is related of Ste. Gen evieve of Paris, whose tomb is in the church of St. Etienne of that city.
 T.s.. ,f n peared before Paris the people were ter TOT stricken, but Genevieve urged them to remain at their post, declaring that heaven would protect them, and for some unknown reason Attila never attempted to enter the city.
 The Pantheon at Paris is most beauti- fully frescoed with scenes from the life of this saint and among the mural deco rations may be noted one depicting a man walking as he carried his head in his hands This is no other than St, Denis. While studying astrology in Egypt he was much perplexed to ac- count for the sudden darkenng of the world for three hours which occurred during the crEcihxion He heard St. Paul preach upon the "Unknown God at the Areopogus and was converted. He then visited the Blessed Virgin at Jerusalem and was present at her death and burial, of which he left written account. He saw St Paul martyred at Rome and was himself beheaded al Paris, but to prevent his remains from being dishon- ored he took his dismembered head in his hands and walked two miles from the place of his execution to what is now known as Montmartre.
 The strange exploit of St. Denis was initiated by St. Cheron, bishop of Char tres. who, while on his way to visit St Denis, at Paris, was atttacked and be- headed by robbers. He, however was

One of the very few is Miss Edith Somerville Cioint author with her cousin, Martin Ross" of those interesting sketches of Irish lfe), who is this season hunt ing the West Carbary Hounda in Cork, pack with which she used to show wonderful sport some time back.

 After the ascension of our Lord he | travelled to Spain and upon the banks I of the Ebro he beheld the Blessed Vir- gin upon a pillar of jasper who direct | ed him to build upon the spot a church | in her honor and in obedience to her | direction he founded the celebrated church of Our Lady of the Pillar. He l returned to Judea and was matched gainst the great sorcerer and ma
 gician Philetus whom he overcame and
 converted. He was finally beheaded but his disciples, fearing to bury the body placed it in a ship of marble whence.
 under the conduct of angels, it drifted to the shores of Spain. Here the body was placed upon a great stone which became as soft as wax and closed around the figure indicating that here was to be its resting place. The coun- try was governed by wicked Queen Lupa, who harnessed wild bulls to the
 stone in the hope that they would drag it away and dash it to pieces. but
 To, the beasts quietly dragged 1t to her own palace. which deed resulted in her conversion.
 St James appeared many times fight ing for the Christians against the Moors. The first time of his mirae- ulous appearance was in A. D. 939 when he was seen upon a white charger bearing aloft snow white banner and leading to victory the knights of the

Upon their return as they wept by the gibbet where their son was still hang | ing Ne spoke to them, saying that St James had sustained and comforted him.
 The astonished and delighted parents rushed to the judge who had sentenced their son, crying, Our boy still lives The judge, seated at dinner, remark ed scoffiugly that their son was about as much alive as wore the fowls in dish upon his table. Scarcely had the words been uttered when the fowls-a cock and a hen--stood up in the dish. Full
 of astonishment, they all rushed to the

An amusing feud of two families in the County of Mayo, the Sweeneys and the Caseys, was before the justices at Kiltimagh recently.
 One of the Caseys having been or dered to wear spectacles, Sweeney, for ridicule, paraded before their house in a pair of tin goggles. Two Caseys next appeared. One dropped a purse which the other seized and ran away with. This, said the police inspector, was to indicate that Sweeney had been sent to reformatory for purse stealing.
 Two Sweeneys retaliated in the street by one of them, with dramatic flourish, aiming a wooden gun at the other. This meant, said the inspector, that a Casey, a water bailiff, had been indicted for shooting at man.

But Henry was not entirely faultless. 1. is related that one dark night hermit was much disturbed in his lonely cell by the great noise of demons outside madly rushing past the place. Upon inquring their mission the hermit was informed that the Emperor Henry was upon his death bed and they were hastening to claim his soul.
 That night Henry died and his deeds were weighed in the balance by the Archangel Michael To the great delight of the demons the scale of evil deeds was the heavier, but at that moment St Laurence appeared and cast into the other scale golden cup which Henry had pre- sented to his church. This put the de- mons to flight, but one of them in his | rage broke off the handle of the cup which he showed to the hermit as he l related his tale of disappointment The handle may still be seen at verdun. In the crypt of the little church of S. Clemente at Rome may be seen the relics of St. Ignatius of Antioch. This saint has always been supposed to have been the little child "set in the midst and of whom Jesus said "of such is the kingdom of heaven"
 It is said that he was permitted to hear the angel sing and that it was in imita- ton Of the heavenly choir that he intro duced antiphonal singing in the churches. He was torn to pieces by lions in the royal ampitheatre
 I once spent a night in Compostela, Spain, which though now almost a de- serted village, was in the middle ages one of the principal pilgrim resorts of the world. It once contained the relics of St. James, the Apostle and the patron saint of Spain.

| Nor was the dismembering art con- fined to human limbs as the legend of
 good old Blacksmith Saint Eloy, or Lo I of Bologna will attest. He was a re-
 markable worker in metal and in the region of Dagobert was made Master | of the Mint al Limoges. The dies used
 for his coins are still extant, some of
 which bear his name. On one occasion | he was asked to shoe a horse said to be possessed by a devil. When the anil
 nal kicked so furiously that no one
 dare touch him, Saint Eloy cut off it's | leg, put on the shoe and then with the
 sign of the cross replaced the severed | limb.
 Some of the saintly legends go fur
 ther than this and St. Hugh of Gren-
 oble was famous for his ability to
 change fowls to flesh. He was the
 builder of the "Grande Chartreuse,a - which site he selected from vision
 of seven stars resting persistently over
 the locality.
 When the great establishment was
 completed he visited the refectory
 where the monks who were forbidden | to eat flesh, could not partake of the
 repast. having nothing but fowls to
 eat With a wave of his hand St. Hugh converted the fowls into tortoises. While upon this subject l cannot omit mentioning very curious relic that
 once saw in a church at Verdun. It
 was the broken handle of a gold cup
 that once belonged to Henry of Ba- varia, who though Emperor of Ger many was nevertheless canonized. Henry wished to resign his imperial state for that of recluse but a prior | told him that he should remain where God had seen fit to place him, and he did so. It is said that Saints Adrian, George and Laurence were often seen 1 fighting for him in battle and enabled him to prevail against his enemies.

head, but proceeded upon his journey. carrying his caput in his hands
 An analogue to this episode is also found in the legends which cluster around St Martial, who is said to have accom- panied St. Peter to Rome. This time however, it was a convert of the saint wh) performed the wonderful act. Her name was Valerie and so wonderful was her beauty that her refusal to wed the Duke of Guyenne enraged the disappointed lover to such a degree that he caused her to be beheaded. The decapitated virgin picked up her head and carried it to St Martial, who was celebrating mass, where she deposited it at the foot of the altar. Her executioner. who had followed her to the church, dropped dead at the horrible sight.
 But lost heads were not the only mem bers that figured in these saintly legends. as discovered legs occasionally played an important part in the annals of antiquity
 The Saints Cosmo and Damian were patron saints of the Mediei family and of medicine. They were Arabians brought up in the Christian faith. most slIillful in their art and their fame spread over land and sea. They were beheaded and Ing years afterwards a man afflicted with cancer of the leg prayed to them in their church at Rome for cure. He fell asleep and dreamed that the saints had ap- peared in answer to his prayer and cut off his diseased limb, replacing it by one of a dead Moor and amounting it with a mi- raculous ointment so that it joined per- fectly. On awakening he discovered that he had a new leg and upon searching for the deceased Moor it was discovered that there had really been an exchange of limbs.
