The DANCING Monks of Thibet,

We were fortunate at Nartang to
find New Year festivities in full
swing. In a large courtyard in front
of the Compa about thirty monks
were solemnly preambulating to the
dirge of a band, and under the eyes
Of the assembled countryside.
Their idea of dancing was limited
to alternate lifting of the legs and
solemn p~irouetting, which lacked the
interest of high kicking and the
charm Of skirt dancing. But the
~grotesque dress and demoniac head
gear of the performers was quite
enough for the onlookers, who We're
entranced with the entertainment.
Though we were entirely unexpect-
ed the Abbot received us with great
courtesy, making room for us in the
balcony overlooking the courtyard
where he himself sat, and providing
cakes and the inevitable tea, of which
the butter becomes more rancid the
further away from Shigatse.-Times

ten or condoned?
We had turned into a restaurant
for a bit of dinner, and those thoughts
passed through Tay mind as we ate
our fish. My companion %pondered sad
ly for a few seconds, and then, shaa-
ing himself together as though TO
throw off an unpleasant train OF
thought, said:
Nov, tell me about yourself, your
wife, and family"
Before / had time to reflect upon
what might be the result Of my dis
closure, l blurted out the simple
truth:
II have no wife,"
He looked intensely surprised, as
he said: my dear fellow, | am very
sorry. I never heard"-He paused,
inquiringly and again blurted out:
Il never had one.'
A look of extreme pain spread over
his face as he heard this. He leaned
across the table, and laying his hand
on mine, said, with infinite sym
pathy:
'I see it all; / ought not to have
asked you. Forgive me, old fellow,
and forget that / have said those
words"
I gave him a clammy hand and
turned away, lest he should detect the
conscious outlines of my face. had
become confirmed in a suspicion thai
! had been gradually dawning upon my
mind, that I had never set eyes upon
my host before that day, and that |
had been carried away by some in
applicable chance resemblance to
some remote acquaintance, and by
his own apparent cordial recognition
of myself. There was no blinking the
facts, however. Everybody that he
mentioned was a total stranger to
me, while every incident that l men
toned with a view to drawing him
out seemed to find his mind a blank.
My sole object now was to extricate
myself from my false position with
out detection. I got absolutely n
hopelessly involved in fable and false
hood, and after having thus lightly
taken away the good name of the
suppositious mother of my children,
a sort of despair took possession OF
me, and a wild resire to avoid ex-
posture or explanation at any cost.
The dinner was good, the wine ex-
cellent, and my host geniality itself.
We sat late and drank freely, and
over our cups l blush to think of the
people I married, the old friends I
buried and the characters l took

what was I to do? Much of my in
formation seemed to afford him mat
ter for establishment, and often he
calculated:
"You don't tell me So" as I con-
veyed some specially startling piece
of personal news.
However, the time for departure
came at last, and my mind was torn
with conflicting desires to escape de-
lection and to ascertain his identity.

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Final Re-
lief

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy foodwe eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small in
testines, and If we eat too much, as
most Of US do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, SO that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and a long train of
ais result.
Too much fat also is hard to di-
gest and this is changed into acids,
sour stomach, belching gas, and a
bloated, heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress, but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
"About five years ago I suffered
with bad stomach-dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, constipation-caused, I know
now, from eating starchy and greasy
food.

any benefit. The doctor told me
there was no cure for me-. I could
