An Example Of Daring.

During the hottest fighting in the
Shipka pass the leading battalion Of the
Russian General Dragomirof's division
recoiled before a hailstorm of Turkish
bullets. The general was a very stout
person and had the appearance Of a
peaceful German professor. But when
he saw his men recoil he ~dlsmounted
and walked slowly to and fro along a
ridge swept " the enemy's bullets.
He was a hundred yards in advance Of
the men, occupying the position they
had abandoned. After staying there
for awhile without being touched he
shouted back to the battalion: What
are you doing, you geese? Did you
think there was danger here? / don't
find any, The men responded with a
roar Of cheers. doubled up to him and
charged so flercely that the Turks were
forced to retreat.

LEGENDS ABOUT DEW.
Curious Beliefs as to Its Origin and
Varied Powers.

In many places dew is looked upon
as tears of the angels and of the souls
in purgatory shed on account of the
sins Of human beings upon earth, and
dew is collected to be used to cure GER
tain diseases, especially those of the
eyes, freckIes, badness, cramps. open
wounds and cuts, rheumatism, skin
diseases, burns, etc.
The virtues Of dew as a beauty wash
are also well known, remarks the Jour
nal Of Religious Psychology. One leg
end tells how by licking the dew off
the plants on a certain morning when
all the birds drink 1t one can learn
their language.
Another folk belief is that naked or
with only their shirts on the witches at
the time of the new moon collect the
dew from the grass with bark sieves.
By this means they deprive of their
milk the COWS that have been pastured
on the grass, and as soon as their
sieves are full Of dew they know that
their pots at home are full Of milk.
The Polish people Of Wongrowitz call
the dew On which the birds are sup
posed to feed patasie mieko-t. e.,
birds milk"

4 Domestic Dialogue That Made Old
Deacon Wood Wise.


II notice Mrs. Simmons Is having a
new porch put on to her house." said
Deacon Wood. polishing his glasses.
YES" said his wife; ''she always
wanted one clear across the front Of
the house. but Silas never would build
one, so the first thing she did with the
insurance money was to have one"
The deacon looked at his paper
thoughtfully for a moment, then re-
marked:
1.-The Wilder Davis is setting out a
good many flowers, isn't she? She keeps
getting seed catalogues at the post
Office"
YES" replied his wife; "her hearts
been set on q posy garden a good many
years, but ! should almost think
'twould make Jed Davis turn over in
his grave. He always thought flowers
was such a foolish waste Of time and
money"
For a time the deacon was silent:
then he said. Wasn't that a new rub
Der tired buggy l saw Prunella White
In yesterday"
"Yes." said his wife, with ANNA
ton. "and I'm glad she's got It at last.
She rode around for years in an old
farm wagon. though Leander could
well afford q decent buggy for her and
the girls, but If he'd lived they'd never
have had one"
For a time the deacon remained sunk
in thought: then he asked:
"If you had a considerable sum Of
money to do just what you wanted
with. Mandy. what would you get?'
"Td have me a hardwood floor in
that Kitchen" his wife said firmly. Il
never scrub that old floor but what !
run my fingers full Of slivers."
Mandy" said her husband. with
fervor, you'll see the carpenters at
work on that new floor tomorrow
mornin'." And the deacon resumed his
paper with a sigh Of relief.-Youth's

A PERSISTENT Able.
Romance Of Mountain Road Building
In the Pyrenees.

In the Pyrenees.
G. L. Preston in 1.-THE Passes Of the
Pyrenees" quotes the story Of Felix
Armand, cur of St Martin-Lys. who
pierced a road through the magnificent
Gorge de Pierre-Lys In order to bring
prosperity to his poverty stricken VII
lage. The cure himself marked out
the route, Hanging like a spider from
the end of a rope over the awful preci-
pices of the Pierre-Lys. After five
years incessant toll the workmen
reached the huge mass Of rock which
blocks the gorge near Belvianes." Still
he bravely melted his parishioners to
presevere until in 1871 the tunnel was
pierced which still bears the name
of lie Trou du Cure" The revolution
stopped the work, but after the reign
Of terror the cure set TO work anew.
"a pity the nan should be a priest"
said Napoleon when he heard Of Ar
mand's heroic efforts. 81 would have
made him a general in my army"
The cures personal bravery was
great. Once when a mine was about
to explode a muleteer was seen riding
round a corner. The priest instantly
sprang out and extinguished a slow
match just at It's last inch. Armand
was made an able, but he declined to
leave his flock and was buried at St
Martin-Lys with the cross of the Le-
gion of Honor on his breast.

when we started found a twenty-five

Some OF the weeds which grow In

DDS are expensive and especially on

The cropping system which contains

some weeds down, but these crops

wheat are the only crops grown for

Is very little better than when wheat

HARDY BREED OF DAIRY cows
Dutch ReIted Cattle Are Easily Kept

Ing. North Dakota Agricultural Col

The Dutch Belted cattle get their
name from the characteristic color
markings of the breed, which is
white belt around the middle with the
rest of the body black. This breed
originated In North Holland and was
controlled by the nobility for a long
time; who have kept the breed pure
for over 200 years.
The conditions under which this
breed developed in Holland were very
similar to those of the Holsteins. In
general form and conformation the
two breeds are very similar. The
mature Dutch Belt COWS will average
little more than 1000 pounds. They
are strong, vigorous breed. able to
