The history of this virgin martyr
saint dates back to the early Roman
periods. The martyrdom of ST. Aga
tina is not authenticated and we possess
no reliable information concerning the
detail of her glorious death. If there is
a kernel of historical truth in the mar
ratiVe it has not as yet been possible
to sift it out from the later embellsh-
ments. The information at hand shows
that Agatha, daughter of a distinguish
ed family and remarkable for her beau
ty of person, was prosecuted by the
love. AS his proposals were resolutely
spurned by the pious Christian virgin.
he committed her to the charge Of an
evil woman whose seductive arts, how
ever, were baff1ed by Agatha'S I'M
swerving firmness in the Christian faith.
Quintianus then had her subjected to
various cruel tortures. Especially inhu
man seemed his order to have her
breasts cut off, detail which furnish
ed to the Christian medieval tcono-
graphy the peculiar characteristic of
Agatha. But the holy virgin was con-
soled by a vision of st. Peter, who mir
succumbed to the repeated cruelties
practiSed on her.
Both Catania and Palermo claim the
honor of being Agatha's birthplace.
Her feast is kept on February 8; her
office in the Roman breviary is drawn
in part from the Latin Acts. Catania
honors st. Agatha as her patron saint,
and throughout the region around Mt.
Etna she is invoked against the erup-
tions of the volcano, as elsewhere
against fire and lightning.
Around Mt. Etna are woven so many
interesting legends that it is impossi
BILE to go into many of the details. The
fact that the earthquake and the Sc
we're eruptions are closely connected
brings back Ovids poetic description
of Mt. Etna- According to Ovid,
'HTyphoeus lies imprisoned deep down
beneath the vast island of Trinacria,
his right hand placed under Pelorus,
his left hand beneath Pachynus, his
legs pressed down by Lilybaeus, while
Etna bears down his head" Thus i'm
prisoned, the Titan "vomits flame from
his raging mouth. struggling to throw
off the earth, and to roll away cities
and huge mountains from off his body"
When the monster thus bestirs himself,
"the earth trembles. the king of the
Shades is himself in dread lest it may
be opened, the ground be parted with a
wide chasn1, and the day let in to af-
fright the trembling ghosts"

MRS. G. DAVENPORT,

The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, WHY
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack

according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
