the route, "hanging like a spider from
the end of a rope over the awful preci
pices of the Pierre-Lys. After five
yenrs' incessant toll the workmen
reached the huge mass of rock which
blocks the gorge near Belvianes." Still
he bravely incited his parishioners to
presevere until In 1781 the tunnel was
pierced which still bears the name
of "Le Trou du Cure." The revolution
stopped the work, but after the reign
of terror the cure set to work anew.
"A pity the man should lie a priest,"
snid Napoleon when he heard of Ar
mnud's heroic efforts. "I would have
mnde him a general in my army."
The cure's 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 its last inch. Armand
was mnde an abbe, but he declined to
leave his flock and was burled at St

LEGENDS ABOUT DEW.
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.
By this means they deprive of theii
milk tho cows that have boon pastured
on the grass, and as soon as their
sieves are full of dew they know that
their pots at home are fall of milk.
The Polish people of Wongrowlts call
the dew on which the birds are sup
posed to feed pat&sie mleko 4. e,
"birds' milk."

An Example of Daring.
During the hottest fighting hi the
Bhlpka pass the leading battalion of the
Russian General DragomlrotTs 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 dismounted
and walked slowly to and fro along s
ridge swept by tho enemy's bullets.
He was a hundred yards m advance of
the men, occupying the position thej
bad abandoned. 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!" The men responded with a
roar of cheers, doubled un to him and
charged so flercely that the Turks were
forced to retreat
