No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame. are surprised that they are
not cured by nerve medicines. and Spring
remedies; the real seat of mischief is lost
sight of; the stomach is the origin to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ: in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu-
lar: in Others, the kidneys are affected; /;
in others the bowels are constipate1, with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with the accu-
mutation of gas, sour risings and heart
burn. ...

There is no doubt that war is. as the

Natives OF the Canary Islands.

The GuancheS, or native Canary Is
landers, are mongrel race, darker N
color than even the population of
southern SPAIN where Moorish blood
predominatss. They are the descend
ants of Phoenicians, Carthaginians,
NIoors and Africans, all of whom at
one time owned or occupied the is
lands. They are Il simple rural folk,
devoted entirely to such agriculture
as the soil and climate of the islands
admit, and as industrious as might be
supposed under tropical sun. When
the islands were first discovered by
Europeans the Guanches were war
like, and more than once repealed
Spanish and Portuguese expeditions
sent to accomplish their subjugation.
The power of firearms, however final
ly overcame the arrows and spears OF
the islanders, AID one by one the diff
ferent islands of the group were sub
jected' to the control of the whites.
For a long time they were a source
of contention between Spain and Por-
tugal, being claimed first by one, then
by the other, and not until the pres
ent century was the Spanish authority
definitely maintained.
1t is worthy of note that the islands
have been known to civilized nations
by the same name for at least 1900
years, for they We're mentioned by
Pliny. who called them the Fortunate
Islands. and the Romans also denom-
mated them the Canaries. from the
word CAMS. dog, and the fact that on
these islands there We're bred mastiffs
of unusual size and ferceness, which
We're in high repute in Roman house
holds as guards for the doors. To
have a Canary dog was considered
an evidence of wealth and social sta
ton. for none but the rich could af-
ford to have them. and some of the
largest and most savage cost between
$500 and $3.50 a pair The famous
Canary dogs, which rendered Cave
Canem. Beware of the dog" IA
miliar legend in every Roman city, are
no longer known in the islands.

LARGEST APE IN THE WORLD.
Rabe Is Bigger and Stronger Than John L
Sullivan.

The biggest orang-outang ever IN
captivity. the most wonderful ape ever
seen by civilized man, has just been
brought to this country.
He is now in the Philadelphia ZOO
logical Gardens. "Rube" is the name
they have given him in Philadelphia
on account of the length Of his wills
kers and other features supposed TO
be peculiar to the inhabitants OF re-
mote country districts.
Rube's size is enormous and aston
ishing. 1t is convenient to compare
him with John l.. Sullivan, who is to
most Americans an ideal OF Well
grown man.
RUDE stands five feet eleven inches
In his bare feet. John l.. sullivan Is
only five feet, ten and half inches.
Rube measures eight feet from tip
to tip of his outstretched arms. John
l.. Sullivan's measurement in this re
spect is only six feet and one inch.
RUDE weighs 200 pounds. John l..
Sullivan, in his best fighting condition,
WelSneu OILY LOU pOuHuS.
These measurements are to certain
extent deceptive. RUDE is Il little big
ger than Sullivan, but his strength is
incidentally greater. A dozen Sulli-
vans could not knock him out with
their bare hands.
Give Rube a good. solid hold for his
hands or feet, and he can pull 100
men to him. Probably Sullivan could
pull three.
1t is not alone as creature of size
and strength that RUDE is interesting.
He is one of rare race that IS last
disappearing from the earth. lie Is
one of the nearest relatives of man
among the beasts.
Rube came to the United States on
the British steamer Ben Alder, which
sailed from Singapore on April 20.
Her voyage occupied forty-fve days
The cargo included Rube and three OF
his family. dozens of common mon
keys, and large assortment of py-
thons and wild animals from south
eastern Asia.
RUDE is fearfully human in appear
ance He resembles an unspeakablc
ugly man. His age is estimated at
thirty 1t is said that the orang -outans
is full grown ut twenty. and that I'M
der favorable circumstances he may
live to be one hundred. Scientific Oh
servers believe that Rube's intellectu-
al capacity is far superior to that OF
the illustrious gorilla Crowley and the
famed chimpanZee Johanna. The
problem is to induce him to exhibit Il
little of his capacity.

The Oysters Make-Up.

The organization of the oyster Is
among the lowest and simplest of the
mollusks. 1t has no foot, and except
when very young, no power of loco
motion, or organ of any kind adapted
to that purpose. Its food consists of
animalculae, and also of minute vege-
table particles. These are brought TO
it by the water. a continual current of
which is directed toward the mouth
by the action of the gills. The young
come forth from the spawn furnished
with a temporary organ for swim
ming. and provided with powerful
muscles for extending it beyond the
valves and withdrawing it at pleas
ure. When the oyster has become
fixed in its permanent place of abode,
this organ, being no longer of any use,
has been supposed to drop off, or grad
ually 10 dwindle away and disappear.
But Doctor auckland has expressed
the opinion that the swimming organ
of the young oyster is the lungs, and
remains as the lungs IN the mature
oyster.
