Curious Beliefs as to lt Origin and Varied Rowers. 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, aud dew is collected to be used to cure cer tain diseases, especially thoBe of the eves, freckles, baldness, 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 oil the birds drink It one can learn their lnngunge. Another folk belief Is that "naked or with only their shirts on tho witches at the Ume of the new moon collect the dew from the grass with bark sieves.

After staytns then for awhile without belnj tooched h shouted bock to the battalion: "What are you doing, you geoet DM you think there was danger hreT I don'l find any!"
