HIS PATH ONE OF BLESSINGS
Beautiful Legend of "Holy Shadow"
Might Well Serve as an Inspira-
ton to ALL

1t is French legend SO old that we
do not Flow when 1t was written, or
rather when it grew. We may not
believe i'll the miracle giving, but in
the heart of the story lies an exquisite
pearl of truth. And thus runs the
old legend.
\ very long time ago there dwelt
upon the earth saint so good that
the angels themselves came down from
heaven 10 see how any mortal could
live 50 holy and beautiful Il life. They
found man going about his daily
duty in simple faithfulneSS. diffustng
an atmosphere of love as the star diff
fuses light, and the flower fragrance
without being aware of 1t. 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 We're expressed in his
pleasant smile, III his kindness, for
bearance and charity.
Then the angels prayed to God, ask
ing, 80 Lord, grant him the gift of
miracles" The answer quickly came,
Il will; ask him what gift it shall be-
So the angels asked the holy man,
Would you like to have the touch Of
your hands heal the sick?" But he
answered, NO; that is Gods work. "
Again they asked, Would you like to
convert guilty souls, and bring back
wandering hearts to the right path?''
NO" he replied, that is also the
work of God 1 pray; 1 do not con-
vert"
"Would you like to become a model
of patience, attracting men by the lus-
ter of your virtues, thus clarifying
God?"
Still he answered, NO; if men
should become attached TO me they
would be further from God and es-
tranged from him. The Lord has other
means of clarifying himself"
Filled with establishment, they cried :
What, then, do you desire?'
The saint smiled, and asked in turn,
What can l wish for? That God give
me his grace; with that shall l not
have everything"
But the angels insisted that he must
choose u miracle, or have one chosen
for him.
Very WELL" he said at length, weary
of their Importantly. Il wish that I
may do a great deal of good without
ever knowing it,
How were they to carry out such a
wish? Finally they hit upon the fol
lowing plan: Every time the saint
shadow should fall behind him or on
either side where he could not see it,
this shadow would have the power to
cure disease, soothe pain, and comfort
the Borrowing.
And so the wish was fulfilled. When
the dear old man walked abroad, his
shadow, thrown on the ground on
either side or behind him, made arid
paths moist, gave fresh greenness to
withered vegetation. brought back mu-
sic to the parched, dried-up brooks,
and roses to the pale cheeks of suffer
ing little children, and diffused Joy
everywhere.
The saint went simply about his
daily duties, knowing nothing of the
blessednesS of his falling shadow. At
last his very name was forgotten and
he was reverently called The Holy
Shadow. '-Pirtsburgh Dispatch.

HeIuoland a Bird MStation.U

The island of Helgoland is one of the
landmarks of the birds migrating
from the North, and night after night
beginning in early September, they
pass in countless armies.
In times of peace the islanders
turned the bird invasion to profit, stir
ring abroad all night with lanterns
and nets, trapping weak or weary
birds that paused for a few minutes
rest. Fifteen thousand larks alone
have thus been caught in a single

Deadly Spiders.

We have in this country a small
spider, commonly known as the "black
widow" which is very deadly. 1t has
red spots on It's abdomen. There is no
question of the fact that its bite is
often fatal.
Rather odd is the fact that this
species of spider is found in MOST parts
Of the world. In New Zealand 1t Is
called the "katipo;" in Santo Domingo
the "red rump." Not only does it kill,
but the death it infiicts is inconceiv-
ably frightful. The brain is affected,
and dropsy of the skin may distort
the victims features to such an ex-
kent as to render him unrecognizable.
