HIS PATH ONE OF BLESSINGS
Beautiful Legend Of "HoIy Shadow
Might Well Serve as an lnsplra-
tlon to All.

1t is French legend, so old that we
do not know when 1t was written, or
rather when 1t 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
live so holy and beautiful q life. They
found a man going about his daily
duty in simple faithfulness, dlffusIng
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 were expressed In his
pleasant smile, In his kindness, for
bearance and charity.
Then the angels prayed to God, ask
ing, 20 Lord, grant him the gift Of
mlracles" The answer quickly came,
Il will; ask him what gift 1t shall be-"
So the angels asked the holy man,
Would you like to have the touch of
your hands heal the sickT 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 pathH"
mo" he replied, that is also the
work of God. pray; do not con
vert"
would you like to become model
of patience, attracting men by the lus-
ter Of your virtues, thus clarifying
God2'
Still he answered, mo; 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 desire2"
The saint smiled, and asked In turn,
what can wish for2 That God give
me his grace; with that shall I not
have evorythingf"
But the angels insisted that he must
choose n miracle, or have one chosen
for him.
very WELL" he said at length, weary
OF their importantly. II wish that I
may do great deal of good without
ever knowing It,"
How were they to carry out such Il
wIshf Finally they hit upon the fol.
lowing plan: Every time the saints
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
wlthered 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 1.-THE Holy
Shadow."-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Then there was the little old Boche.

so shriveled, his clothes were so wrln-

Then, as he neared, compassion sez-
ed one. He was wounded; he ran, en-
circled by the arm Of n friend, and his
head wabbled weakly as he ran. He
had little pointed beard which curv-
ed upward at the end; he was about
forty-flve years old; no was the hum
blest, gentlest little man. He sat down
on stone near the dugout entrance;
he would not lie down, but his head
rocked weakly on his small, narrow
shoulders; now and then his thin little
beard pointed straight to the sky; and
he was so deathly palel One Of our
surgeons went to him and with long
scissors cut away his blouse. The sod
den thing fell to the earth, heavy with
blood-and here In the shoulder was a
great red hole going right down into
him.

Wooden Stocklnus2

Turning trees into silk stockings
has become an important industry In
the United States In recent years.
During the last fiscal year more than
100000 pairs Of stockings made from
artificial silk, obtained from wood pulp,
were exported, the National City bank
says. The United States has now be-
come one Of the leading world pro-
ducers Of artificial silk.
From being large importer Of this
product, this country has become a
considerable exporter. While the tex
tiles made from the artificial fiber are
not yet fully equal to those produced
from the natural silk, the growing use
Of the artificial silk is illustrated by
the fact that our Imports Of artificial
silk, chiefly in the form Of yarns or
threads, aggregated about $30,000,O0O
In the last decade. With the opening
Of the war the supply from Germany
and Belgium was entirely suspended
and that from Great Britain and
France materially reduced.

Deadly Spiders.

We have In this country small
spider, commonly known as the "black
widow" which Is very deadly. II has
red spots on Its abdomen. There Is no
question Of the fact that its bite IL
often fatal.
Rather odd is the fact that this
species Of spider Is found in most parts
Of the world. In New Zealand Il IL
called the "katip0;" In Santo Domingo
the "red rump." Not only does It kill,
but the death It innicts Is lnconcely-
ably frlghtful. The brain Is affected,
and dropsy Of the skin may distort
the victims features to such an ex-
tent as to render him unrecOgnlzable.

Extensive phosphate deposits on
Nauru or Pleasant island and Ocean
island, located about midway between
the Marshall and Solomon islands,
northwest Of New Zealand, are said to
be the most valuable deposits of the

the rookeries Of sea birds, which have
deposited guano that has lmpregnated
the limestone, forming phosphate rock

phosphates available IL estimated at
500,000000 tons, and us fertilizer II

Before the war these Islands belong
