A monitor is a boy or girl what

Ancient Natchez Indian Who Rebelles
Against Being Sacrificed.

Ancient Natchez Indian Who Rebelled
Against Being Sacrificed.
One Of the repulsive features Of the
laws under which the Natchez Indians
were governed was that when mem
Der of the royal family of the nation
died it was necessary that several others
of the people should accompany him TO
the tomb by suffering death at the
hands of executioners. When the
great sun" the hereditary chief Of
the whole nation, died, all his wives,
in case he were provided with more
than one and also several of his sub
jects, were obliged to follow him into
the vale of shadows. The little suns,
secondary chiefs, and also members Of
the royal family, likewise claimed,
when dying, their tribute of death from
the living. In addition to this the in
exorable law also condemned to death
any man of the Natchez race who had
married girl of the royal line of the
suns. On the occasion of her death
he was called upon to accompany her.
II will narrate to you upon this sub
jeot, writes an old French chronieler
of Louisiana, "the story of an Indian
who was not in a humor TO submit to
this law His name was Etteacteal. He
had contracted an alliance with the
suns. The honor came near having a
fatal result for him. His wife fell sick,
and as soon as he perceived that she
was approaching her end he took to
flight, embarldng i'll u pirogue on the
Mississippi, and sought refuge in New
Orleans He placed himself under the
protection of the governor, who was at
that time NJ. de Bienville, Offering him
self to be the governors hunter. The
governor accepted his services. and in
terested himself in his behalf with the
Natchez, who declared, in answer, that
he had nothing to fear, .inasmuch as the
ceremony was over. and as he had not
been present when it took place he was
no longer available as a candidate for
execution. New Orleans Picayune.

Bad Digestion, Bad Heart.

Poor digestion often causes irregular
ity Of the hearts action. This irregu-
larity may be mistaken for real, organic
heart disease. The symptom are
much the same. There is, however,
a vast difference between the two; or
ganic heart disease is often incurable;
apparent heart disease is durable if
good digestion be restored.
A case in point is quoted from the
New Era, OF Greensburg, Ind. Mrs.
Ellen Colsom, Viewpoint, Ind, a
woman forty-three years old, had
suffered for four years with distressing
stomach trouble. The gases generated
by the indigestion pressed on the heart,
and caused an irregularity OF its action.
She had much pain in her stomach and
heart, and was subject to frequent and
severe choking spells, which were most
severe at night Doctors were tried
in vain; the patient became worse,
respondent, and feared impending
death,

She was much frightened but noticed
that in intervals in which her stomach
did not annoy her, her hearts action
became normal. Reasoning correctly
that her digestion was alone at fault
she procured the proper medicine to
treat that trouble and with immediate
good results. Her appetite came back,
the choking spells became less frequent
and finally ceased. Her weight, which
had been greatly reduced, was restored,
and she now weighs more than for
years. Her blood soon became pure and
her cheeks rosy.
The case is OF general interest be-
cause the disease is a very common

steal everything within sight, regard
