Quin watched the ruin of his hard-won

the orang-outang, its cage borne on the

doubtless been spared to present as a
trophy to Bho Sallah.

after a march of two hours through the

H0AESTCkNESS,
What 1t Really is and Possible
Remedy for 1t.

What 1t Really is and a Possible
Remedy for 1t.
From the Youths Companion.
There are few of us who have never
known the pangs of homeslckness, and
those few are rather to be pitied than en-
We'd. Honesickness in mild form is a sign
of a gentle mind, and indicates the posses
sion CT a love Of home and country which
is the characteristic of civilized and nor
NAL man.
This mild form fortunately, is the only
kind which most of us have experienced,
for when the severe form takes possession
of a person it is e terrible disease, causing
untold misery and even death This severe
form, usually called nostalgia, has grown
less common in these days of quick conf
n,unication, or rapid transmission of news
and of a widespread knowledge of georra-
ply.
The element of ignorance of ones sur
roundings and consequent sense of help
lessness and despair of ever seeing home
again, which in times gone by so oppressed
the sufferer from nostalgia, is now re-
moved, except in the case of the very
young CT the densely ignorant.
The greatest sufferers are Highlandnrs,
German and Swiss mountaineers, the
Celtic Scots, and men are more apt to lie
overcome than women.
sickness is almost always a resourceless
person, one whose life is a routine OF
trivialties whose Ideas are few and limit
ed, and such they are based upon famil-
lar objects and well-knowu associates.
hen such a person is placed in new sur
roun6ings no new ideas are created, but
there a gnawing longing for the past,
which is the more intense IS a return
seems impossible.
The patient, for such he really Is, broods
over what he has lost, rejects what is Of
fered In place of ii, and becomes apathetic
and taciturn. Sleep becomes fitful, and is
disturbed by vivid dreams of home. Tho
appetite fails, digestion grows poor, and
the sufferer becomes thin and haggard.
There is headache. with dullness of intel
lect and finally, perhaps, a condition OF
complete indifference to everybody and
everything, which may end in death from
a failure of the vital organs to perform
their functions
There is little to do for cases of this sort
where there is no possibility of a return
home, though stometimes study OF the
map and OF the routes by which return
can be made, and the birth of hope that
conditions may change and the separation
from the beloved spot not be final, may
bring about a restoration to mental health,
especially if the hope is based upon the
sufferers own efforts to that end.

ABOUT INDIGESTION.
What Causes 1t and How 1t May he
Avoided.
From the Youths Con panion

From the Youths Con panion-
America has the reputation, less deserv-
ed now, perhaps, than it was half GEN.
tury ago, of being the land of the dys-
peptic. When we consider the causes that
were formerly at work to prevent healthy
digestion, we cannot wonder that so many
suffered from this malady
The men were too busy to devote the
necessary time to their meals. and bolted
their food without the thorough masti-
cation that ensures the proper beginning
.of the digestive process. The women had
more time to eat, if they would have TAX
en- it, but they went out little, taking al
most no exercise, and the quantity of food
eaten was almost always in excess Of the
needs of the body-a most favorable con-
junction for the production of dyspepsia.
Finally, the food itself was of such
kind and prepared in such a way as to
tax the digestive organs to the utmost.
The frying pan reigned supreme, and
greasy, smoked and corned meats with
hot salaratus biscuits heavy pancakes
led the assault at breakfast time upon
the sorely overworked stomach, hardly
recovered after a nights rest from it's
hercuiean struggle with the hot bread,
pie and doughnuts of the preceding sup
per.
So much has been said and written on
this subject that these causes are less
active today, but they are still sufficient
ly SO to bring misery to large numbers.
The familiar symptoms of dyspepsia are
a coated tongue, disagreeable breath
and a bad taste in the mouth. The ap-
petite may be poor. or it may be raven
Gus, there may be nausea and vomiting,
a feeling of weight in the stomach and
often of oppression in the chest. There
will probably be much flatulence and
heartburn, and more or less acute pain.
A great danger to be avoided in dyspep-
sia is self-treatment. The patient watches
himself, cuts off one article of diet after
another which he has been led to believe,
often without reason, to be injurious to

tie after bottle of DR.. Somebody's anti

poured out a torrent of uncouth WORDS: s.
What is he saying?" asked Quin. Is
he Bio Sallah?'
Yes" Sooloo answered. He says that :,
our heads will be chopped off at dayoreak.
DO you think he means lt?'
"Assuredly, my master.

the English will come and STAY him and
all of his followers"
This was interpreted to Bio Sallah, put
his only reply was mocking laugh ne
turned on his heel and left the room TAX
ing his light with him.
To be executed at daybreak 1t was
hard to believe that the ghastly sentence
would be carried out; yet Bio Sallah
words and manner gave the prisoners no
hope of an alternative. And escape was

despair. He crouched in a corner, refusing
to speak. Qun paced the floor restlessiy
for long time, chafing like Gagged beast,
and trying to realize that his life was with
in a few hours of it's close. Time passed
on. Gradually the distant ciamor of voices
faded and a deep silence settled on the
fort.
Absorbed in bitter thought Quin failed
to hear the approach of stealthy footsteps
and the slight creaking of the door. A
low cry from Sooloo reused him, and at
the same instant, by the faint glow from
a narraw window slit in the wall, he per-
ceived tall, dark figure in front of him.

Scores of ferce-looking Dyaks ql ickly
