The Holy Shadow
A Legend Out Of France of the
Wish That Never Tired

II IS French legend. so old (hat we
do not know when it was written. or
rather when it grew. We may not
believe in the miracle giving but IN
the heart Of the story lies an exquisite
pearl of truth And thus runs the old
legend:
A very long time ago there dwelt
upon the earth saint so good that
the angels themselves came down from
heaven TO see how any mortal could

found man going about his daily
duty in simple faithfulness, ditiuslng
an atmosphere Of love as the star Diff

without being aware Of il. Watching
with eager interest they saw that two
words summed up his day He gave
and forgave.
Not that these words fell from his
lips, but they were expressed IN his
pleasant smile in his kindness, for
bearance and charity.
Then the angels prayed TO God. ask
ing, 80 Lord, grant him the gift OF
miracies," The answer quickly came,

Still he answered. no; if men
would be further from God and es-
tranged from him. The Lord has other
means Of clarifying himself.'
Filled with astonishment they cried:
"What, then, do you desire ?''
The saint smiled and asked in turn,
"What can wish for? That God give

have everything?'
But the angels insisted that he must
choose a miracle or have one chosen
for him.

FROZEN MARSHES OF RUSSIA
DesoIate Tundras Stretch inland From
the Sea for From Three Hundred
to a Thousand Miles.

In the extreme north of Russia, from
the White sea to Behring strait, there
lies the region of the tundras-waste
frozen marshes stretching inland from
the sea for from 300 to 1000 miles. It
Is often difficult to determine the point
separating the land from the sea, for
the surface of the ground is frozen
some forty feet deep; even the heat of
summer can thaw only about two feet
Of top soil.
The only possible vegetation consists
Of moss and few berry bushes-scant
food for the millions Of birds and
beasts Of all kinds that flock north
ward in July and August to escape
their enemy, the hunter, says the Geo.
graphical Review. BY the end of Au-
gust, however, the heavy frosts set in,
and the tundras become barren, life
less desert, covered with snow for
hundreds of miles, with never a liv-
Ing speck Of any kind on which to rest
ones eyes.
To the south Of the tundras is the
great coniferous forest belt, which
stretches from Finland TO the Sea of
Okhotsk. At its western end, where 1t
is more settled, this is perhaps the
most beautiful part of the great Rus
sian plain. The countryside is dark
with the shadows of the fir trees, but
frequently shot with the light, 1.-THE
trunks of silver birches. The aspect of
the land, too, is slightly rolling In
parts, and Graded between these slight
elevations there are thousands Of
charming little lakes fringed around
with reeds.

WIRE FENCES AND LIGHTNING
Dangers to Live Stock Increased Dur
ing Thunder Storms Unless Wires
Are "Grounded."

Wire fences increase the dangers OF
live stock during thunder storms, I'M
less the fences are carefully ground
ed" say specialists at University farm,
st. Paul. Such fences may be ground
ed by running a No. 8 or No. 10 gal
vanized iron wire from each strand Of
the fence into the ground. The wire
should be twisted two or three times
about each strand and should reach to
depth Of four or five feet into the
ground. II the soil is particularly dry
the wire should be sunk much deeper.
1t should always reach down to moist
soil. A crowbar may be used in max
Ing the holes. Projecting points above
the fence will help to relieve the cleo
trio tension and prevent the lightning
from striking. Field fences should be
grounded every 20 rods, and fences
about barnyards and feed lots every
ten rods at least.

EXTEND THE TOMATO SEASON
Gather All Large Specimens Before
Vines Are Killed by Frost and
Put on Bed of Straw.

The tomato season may be extend
ed several weeks by gathering all the
large tomatoes before the vines are
killed by frost and putting them on a
bed Of dry straw. Put about ten bush
els in each heap, cover with straw at
night and when weather is cold and
wet. The tomatoes will ripen gradu-
ally and will be nearly as good as
those ripened on the vines. If frost
threatens, pull up the vines with the
tomatoes on the vines and pile in the
field. This is the method followed by
our truckers and market gardeners.
Where only few bushels are wanted,
pick the largest and finest tomatoes
and place them on bed Of straw In
the cold frame, cover with a six-inch
layer of straw. If rain threatens slide
on the sash, as they should not get
wet or they will rot.
Gather the ripe fruit for canning
or preserving and make catsup while
fruit is abundant. The small green
tomatoes may be sold for picking.

"BAD EYES MAKE BAD MEN"
This Is the opinion Of Jurist Who BE-
lleves Defective Vision often
Causes Moral Delinquency.

"Bad eyes make bad men," says
bases his belief upon observations ex-
tending over many years.
"The man who cannot see straight
cannot think straight and cannot act
correctly" continued the jurist, as
quoted In Case and Comment.
"When the nervous functions be-
come disarranged the morals also are
affected. One of the first steps the
state should take in the correction of
the criminals is careful examination
and treatment of their eyes. A very
large percentage Of the men who APP
pear before me for sentence are suffer
ing from defective eyesight, and I at
tribute their moral delinquencies large
ly to this cause"
The effect of ocular ailments upon
delinquency was considered by DR..
William Healy, director OF the Psyche
pathic institute juvenile court. Chica-
go, who states in his recent work,
"The Juvenile Delinquent"
I'm our estimate of causes of de-
linquency, it appeared that defective
vision could be regarded as either a
major or minor factor in over 10 per
cent of the cases. Vision, to be sure,
was not perfect In many other in
stances, but In these Ii was hardly to
be regarded as any cause of the de-
linquency. There are several sides to
the resultant effects of bad eyeslght,
so far as delinquency Is concerned.
Equestrian VIGOROUSLY leads to ir-
ritability, discomfort, headache, various
feelings Of bodily discomfort-all of
which may be contributory to the in
dividuaPs delinquency. Now eye-strain,
1t should be remembered, is not always
to be measured readily by what the
individual can see on test chart.
defective vision may exist without
strain, and strain may result from not
readily discerned defects, such as as
tigmatism."

Our Battle HYMN.

Florence Howe Halls book, "The
Story of the Battle Hymn of the Re-

ing caption of one of the patriotic mo-
vies-"Julia Ward Howe Wrote the
Battle Hymn In Her Sleep"-which is
just near enough the truth to be de-
ceiving. The real manner of the con-
ception of this song is repeated by
Mrs. Howe's daughter In her mothers
own words :-"Awoke In the gray of
the morning twilight; and as / lay
waiting for the dawn the long lines
of the desired poem began to twine
themselves in my mind. Having
thought out all the stanzas, said to
myself, Il must get up and write these
verses down, lest 1 fall asleep again

asleep, saying to myself, 4 like this

Swine FEEDING In Spain.

In western Spain certain lands COW
cred with oaks are utilized for pig
feeding. Toward the middle of au-
tumn, when the pastures begin to get
poor and the acorns begin to ripen, the
feeding process begins. The forest is
usually divided into four parts and the
acorns knocked from the trees in the
low-lylng quarter first, then the sec.

Corn Has Few Relatives.

Corn has but few relatives in the
plant world. Man has developed 1t and
made 1t one Of the greatest plants In
the field. Everyone knows the value
and use of corn as farm feed, but few
appreciate its value as a human food
in this country. In other corn produc-
ing countries It is a popular human
food. 1t is a strictly American plant,
but sailors carried 1t broadcast, and
fields Of 1t now cover the other CONT
nents.
