And what legencle there, arel Missical hietesry is full of them. One, par ti cu la rly, will interest music lovers. It is the story of the Monk of Afflighem, taken from Engel's Musical Myths and Facts. The stou goes: "Towards the and of the eleven- th eeitturY at the Abbey of Afflighera, in Dendermonde, East Flanders, whefl the pious IISligentius was Abbot, an old monk no ono ever remembered having peen before, knocked at the door of the monastery and announced 'himself as one of .the brotherhood. The pious Abhot Fulgettius asked him his naine, resp.c1 frorn. what country he had come. IF -Whereupon the monk looked at the • Abbot in eurprise, and said that he be- longed to the house. Being further questioned, he replied that he had only be•en away a few hours. lie,had been singing the :Matins, he said, in the morning of the same day with the brethren. When, in 'chanting, they came to the verse in the 'nineteenth Ps.ann, which says: "For a thonsand yeare in thy sight are but as yester- day!” he pondered upon it so deeply that he did not perceive when the singers: left the ,choir. He remained- - singing alone, pondering over the words. Presently he heard heavenly strains of music, and on looking .up saw 'a little bird which sang with a voice so enchantingly ineledlous that • he arose in ecstasy. The little bird flew to the neighboring wood, whither he followed it. He had only been A little While listening to the song of the •bird, and now in'coming-b!ack he felt ewilcleied. The apPearanee of the. neighborhood was SO changed he scarcely .lorew it again. " "When .n.0 pious Abbot Fulgentius heard; the monk speak thus, he asked himth.s! t ame of the Abbot and the , • king who governed the country; And after the monk had answered him and mentioned the -names, it was found to the astonishment of •all that these were the names Of the Abbot and the King who had lived three hundred Years ag D. Whereupon the monk Sifted up his eyes, and said: "Now, indeed,.I see that a thousand, years are but as one day before • the Lord." "He then aslted the PiOus, Abbot Fulgentius to administer to him the Holy Sacraments; and having devinste u'y received them, he expired." Truth Without Tears. With all reverence, there might be addedto the Beatitudes: "Blessed are -the softeners of the truth, for they shall be well liked." t•As, we go through. life there are times' when the truth. must be told. It can be spoken so that it hurts, or it can be sOttened so that little pain le felt'The truth gets home',. but the Point is not barbed. . Sc: "Blessed are , the softeners!" say I. What makes a "sofberter"? Well, "softeners" are they who make it a rule to be courteous, always, every- where and to everybody. They are uaselflehs too, for they realize that it is not only the speaker' of words who has to be thought of, but those who have to listen. "Softeners" can perform an unpleas- ant duty pleasantly, and with con- sideration. They realise—perhaps fronr personal , experience—that hard • wards hurt tender hearts, and thus, when duty compels something hard "'tobe said, they soften it. • We're .not here very long, and we pass this way but once. And if, as it should, the appeal "to do all the good we can While We can" commends self to us, then we can do a great deal Of good by being "softeners." Work—a beginner's work, his or her best, but very poor—may have to be criticized. A "non -softener" will hurt, and crush the spirit; of the worker. A "'softener" will so put his criticism that t will spur to better effort. It's not so much what we say as how we say it.• The other week in this town there Was a house to let It was, taken with- in an hour. But for the rest of the day, and the next day, too, there came ,-aavith, ethers—brides and Would-be ,brides, with a great hope in their • hearts that they might secure the prize and either be able to Inarry, Or, If married, get out of un.eomfortable "rowes." • The landlord might have *mapped an impatient "House, is let!" to those who kept bothering him, but he was, a "eoftener," very sorry to tell, ion. the house has been taken!" he said sympatheti- cally.

Varlatlon-aWeldoil, Racial Origin—English. Source—A locality. Welden, or Weldon, • the latter of which Is simply a. different wayof spelling the same family name, is easily established as a surname which in its first use merely significant of the place at which, or near which, the bearer dwelt. ." But You wouldn't know how the place name !came into being unless you were unusually familiar with/the lees common words of the Iiinglish language, or „knew something of the ancient Anglo-Saxon speech. The pla.Oe name is &imposed, of two Anglo-Samon words, "weald," which means "wood,'!. or "vrooded," and "den," which in the, speech, of these iiist Englishmen did not mean a cave, but a depression in •the ground, a lit- tle valley. The meaning Of the com- bination is clear. It has been held by some -that the name is a combination of "Weald" and "dun," "don," or "ton," the ancient equivalent of our modern word "town," and :that the ending "den" is but a change in spelling. Thoreverse, how- ever, is the more likely explanation, for towns and fortified places in those days were not "wooded," but quite na- turally, always cleared. Welby is a family name derived frora a place -name which is a combina- tion of "weald" and "by," signifying a • PITMAN. ,Variations — Pittman, Putman, Put- nam. ; Racial Origin—English. Source—A locality., Right away it comet to our minds, accustomed to modern meanings of worde, that the original Pitmans, or Pittrnans, were miners, probably of coal. But immediately a knowledge of so- cial: history, begins to discount this theory. In the, arst place the name an- tedates the use of coal. Though Vile does not dispose of the possibility of a few family name,s, form,eal only in more modern times, having that ex- planation. In the secon1 place there wasn't. enough ntining by means of pits in the days, of the greatest family name formation to account for the fre- quency with which the family name is met. Knowledge of the language of tfte' medieval. English comes to the -rescue, however, and old documents, such as tax liste and, the like, clearly indicate that the original, Pitmans were dwell- ers near certain wells, for in the An- glo-Saxon tongue, the word "pit" meant a well, and in the speech of the Danes it was "put" Remember that Danes settled certain parts of England, -and left to some extent the impress of their language upon local dialects and you have the explanation of -two forms of the name. The form of Putman is but an unconsciously developell. varia- tion, taking plaoe'aftei the meaning of the name was forgotten. Inversion of the "nl" and "n" is quite common.

Mrs. John Mitchell, of Middleville, Ont., ,gives her experience for the benefit of other women suffer- ers. She says:—"Some years ago I was so badly run down I could hardly walk around the house. I tried to do a few chores but was able to do very little. My boys and husband had to do the rest. If I started up stairs 1 had to go very slow or I would fall, and I was just played out when X got at the top of the stairs. My head ached terribly, and my heart would_ beat violently. In this deplorable condition I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I had finished six boxes I felt much better. Then I got a further supply, and by the time I had taken these I could walk any- wherewithout being exhausted, the headaches had disappeared and I am now perfectly weal.

GREEN TEA IN GREAT DEMAND. Twenty -lave years ago, Green Tea was more popular than Black, but due to the heavy importation of poor quality Japan and China Green Tea, the demand fell off. Ceylon and India started producing Green Tea on a Igrge scale only in recent years. They were of such fine quality and delicious flavor that Green Tea drinkers im- mediately recognized their superiority and demanded them in ever 1nm-eas- ing quantities. Salada Tea Company is practically the sole importer of Cey- lon and India Green Teas in Canada. He who feels the advantage ought also to feel the burden.

To those who imagine, as many do, that Nature has no further aurprises in etore for us in the shape of new animals and birds, the news that an expeditiom is in South America at- tempting to capture the hoazin, a very rare species of water fowl, will come as a surprise. . But the hoazin, with its cockatoo crest and its formidably pniverful beak is by no means the only mystery crea tare known to exist to -day. In the heart of Central Africa, where the jungle in many places has never been penetrated by white men, there is to be found a strange leopard -like animal striped after the fashion, of a zebra, that so far has evaded clas,s111- ,cation by. natural history experts. What is known as the hippo -horse is • another mysterious beast that roams.the African wilds. The natives have long spoken of it, but it was not until a few months ago that a white man, Mr. H. E. Lee, made its acquaint- ance. He saw the animal half-inaraersed in a' pool. Its mouth, -cheeks, and 'ears were like those of a horse, but its head was like that of a hippopotamus, with two long, erect horns on its snout. Thd New Guinea. forests ape 'be- lieved to be the home of more than one animal unknown to natural his- tory, while the dense jungles of Bor- neo and Brazil contain others, among them a long lizard -like creature that is said to be capable of flying. • The Giant Bush Pig of Kenya doiony is another beast that is s rarely seen that its existence is doubted by some,, although several reputable travellers claim to have observed it.
