The Jlefana.
Who is Befana') The little child-
ren of Italy know all about her, and
they watch for her every year on
Twelfth -night. Like Santa Oleins,
ehe comes over the rode of the
Houses, but she clops not eons with
reindeer,—she walks,—and the lit-
tle children listen for her footsteps.
She le said to be a little old woman
who remembers the conduct of all
the children,
Before the children go to bed,
they hang up their stoelcings for
Befana, just as other children do
for Sante Claus, and before the
clock strikes twelve they are sure
to jump out of bed to see whether
they •will find sweetmeats, or good-
ies, or alas! a few switches to show
that they have been naughty during
'the year.
Another lesson that Befana
teaches is never to lose an opportu-
nity. The legend tells us that poor
Befana onoo made a sad mistake,
and lost the greatest opportunity
of her life—the opportunity that
never came back to her, although
she sought ib years and years, and
is said to be se -eking on every
Twelfth -night.
She was a very diligent house-
keeper; and she was busy' house-
cleaning on the day that the Three
Wise Men passed her 'house on
their way to the manger to see the
near -born Saviour. She wanted to
.see them, but she said, "Ob, I am
busy to -day. I cannot leave my
work, and'I will be sure to meet
them as they come back,"
.Alas ! They did not come back
that way, and the poor Befana
never saw them, and she had many
questions to ask them; but they
passed her house once, and she had
lost her chance to talk with them.
So when Twelfth -night -arrives,
the little children in Italy say,
"The Befana is walking to -night]
looking for the Three Wise Men.'
But in her search she remembers
faithfully, and in one hand she car-
ries a basket of rewards, and in the
other hand she carries a basket of
the needed punishments.—Youth's
Companion.
A MOTHER'S DUTY
TO HER DAUGHTER
Io to Guard Her Health by Keeping
Her Blood Supply Pure.
.Anxious mothers who see their
daughters fail in strength, becosne
pale and languid, can be certain
that the cause of their anxiety is
the condition of the growing girl's
blood. At no time in her life does
e girl stand in greater need of
pure, red blood and the strength
which it alone can give her, than
when elle is developing into woman-
hood. It is then that anaemia rapid-
ly develops and the growing girl
finds herself in declining health,
If your daughter complains of feel-
ing constantly tired, if her appetite
is fickle, if she is breathless "roto
slight exertion, or if her heart pal-
pitates violently on 'going upstairs,
it is a certain sign that her blood
is failing to meet the demands upon
it, because it is thin and watery.
It is at such times that Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People
are worth their weight in gold to
tired anaemic girls, They actually
make the new, red blood, that
brings brightness to the eye, 'the
bloom of health to the cheeks, and
strength and, activity to the whole
body. The following is an instance
of their value to young girls: Miss
Hilda Pearl Snowe, ;Barrington,
N.S., gradually drooped under an
attack of anaemia. At first she
was pale-'' and listless, suffering
from occasional headaches, but as
the trouble progressed, a severe late, however, the advantages of
cough also attacked her, and her aluminum for this purpose are be -

AFRICAN "FLY SWATTERS."
Natives Can't Resist the Pleasure of
Slapping Your Back.
The Africans are the champion "fly
swatters" Of the world, and they need
no journalistic' exhortations to urge
them on to battle with the pest. When
a native sees a fly on a neighbor's
back, says Mr. Robert H. Milligan,
author of "The Fetish Folk of West
Africa," he regards it as a duty of
friendship to come up behind that.
neighbor slowly and stealthily. He
gives the fly full time to bite his
worst, and so be deserving of death;
then he strikes an awful blow on the
neighbor's back, that brings him to
• his feet ,with a yell.
The habit of 'killing flies, or at-
tempting to kill them when they,
alight, is an obsession with the native.
It seems a physical impossibility for
him to resist. He does it In church.
When I first preached to a large
congregation' In Batanga, I was very
much disturbed by the unlooked-for
and constant slapping on bare backs.
Whenever I saw a man creep quietly
across the aisle or forward several
seats to perform this friendly office,
I could not help watching until I
heard the slap, and then I always felt
like stopping the discourse long
enough to ask, "Did you kill it)"
. Forgetting that' the white man is
protected by his clothing, the natives
vie with each other in the discharge
of this courtesy; and ..the exasper-
ating blows that the white man re-
ceives from his black friends are the
chief discomfort that he suffers,from
the larger. flies. One day I was sitting
in an open boat when a native man
behind me suddenly gave me a, slap
on the back that actually hurts and
nearly caused me to leap into the sea
from' surprise, A few minuteslater,
when I was indulging in a somnolent
reverie, he struck me again—I think
it must have been in the same place,
it hurt so much worse than the first
time; whereupon I turned round and
told him that if he did it again I
should, land 'a blow in his stomach,
whether there was a fly there or not.
My boat boys, who knew the uses
of clothing, and appreciated the Tm-
inunity of my back from fly bites as
well as the greater tenderness of the
white . man's body, laughed at this
interesting diversion, Then they
undertook to enlighten .their friend.
from tho bush as to the white man's
point of view, combining 'theoretical
instruction with practical sense by
removing him to another seat; for
they well knew that if he should see
another fly on my back, even while
they were, talking to him, he would
'strike again, Ho coitld not help it;
the habit is coercive,

ALUMINUM USES IN INDIA.
One of the Most Important InQus-
trk's Of That Iilnnire.
The working of aluminum in In-
dia is making most significant head-
way and promises to become one of
the most important industries of
that empire. Imports of altuninum
ingots and sheets into Indiafrom
Europe and the United States riow
approximate 500 tons per year.
The most important use of aluani-.
num in India is in making vessels
for carrying their daily supplies of
water to the native houses from the
village taps or hydrants or from
wells and. rivers. On account of
the caste rules or prejudices, na-
tives of different castes living in
the same neighborhood must often
go long distances apart in order to
secure water not defiled or mono-
polized by other castes or outcasts,
and as a rule not only the poverty
of most of the'people but also their
religion prejudices prevent con-
necting their houses with central
taps, and so the use of metal ves-
sels or receptacles for obtaining'wa-
ter for the many household pur-
poses for which it is required is of
great importance in the domestic
economy.
When the natives are extremely
poor they use earthenware vessels,
but as their means increase they
adopt the use of metal ware for
carrying their water. In a pros-
perous community it is customary
to see people carrying vessels of
copper` or brass (usually on their
heads) between their sources of wa-
ter supply and their homes. Of
friends feared she was in the grip
of consumption. Almost from the
outset she was being treated medi-
cally, .but with no apparent bene-
fit. At .a critical stage in her ill-
ness Miss Snows wisely decided
that she would give Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills a trial. After taking
them for some time there was a
noticeable improvement in her
case;. and the Pills were gladly con-
tinued until she was fully restored
to health. Miss Snows is to -day
as healthy and rugged as any girl
could wish to be, and her friends
believe that Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills saved her life.
These Pills not only cure anaemia,
but all troubles clue to poor blood
and weak nerves. Sold by all medi-

coming recognized, as it is not only
much lighter to carry but also much
cheaper.
Another important and rapidly
extending use for aluminum in In-
dia is for manufacturing cooping
utensils, especially kettles, grid-
irons, saucepans, stew pans, frying
pans, etc. -

Judge Not.
There are numbers of circumstances
which attend every action of a man's
life, which can never come to the
knowledge of the world—yet ought to
be known and well weighed, before
sentence with any justice can be
passed upon him. A man may have
different views, and a different sense
of things from what his Judges have;
and what he understands and feels,
and what passes within him, may be
a secret. treasured up there deeply
forever.
A certain set of Christian names
taken from the Scriptures has been
in use so long that we do not think
of them as Adam, Moses, Samuel,
David, Daniel, Solomon, . Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. Others taken from
the Saints, like Peter, Paul, John,
Stephen and Matthew, originally giv-
en to children because they were
born -oil the saint's day, are still so
common that we think of them as
English names.
These names antedate the use of
surnames, as may be inferred front.
the fact that nearly all of them have
given rise to patronymics. like
Jacobson, Peterson and Stephenson.
In the twelth ,century missionaries.
used to baptize whole villages at
once, and to euro time invested all
the men with the name of John or
some other saint, and the women;
usually Mary or Martha.
To distinguish the Johns some ad-
ditional name like Short or Strong or
White or Black was given him by the
neighbors, and so Christian names
and surnames were united.
After the Reformation 'it became
the fashion among the Puritans to
give children the names of characters
like the Old Testament and odd ones
like Melchizedek or Barzillat were
preferred. Among 'these were Abel,
Levi,. Jesse, , Amos, Asa, Isaiah,
Ephraim, Gideon, Malachi, Job, Ab-
ner, Hosea, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Zoo-
hariah, Asher, Eli and hundreds of
others.
For some reason the use of these
names has largely ceased. We can
understand why Ebenezer has been
dropped. No modern girl could fall
in love with an Ebenezer. But most
of the Puritan Bible names have a
strong manly ring,and have been
borne by able men.
We:can-only hope that descendants
'of these ancient worthies have In-
herited some of their sterling quali-
ties, though.they do not perpetuate
the name.
