VnUTTEN FOB THE DISPATCH.!
A misty and a murky day at sea. A damp
and a foggy dnj-that came at early-dawn
with net pulls of cold moisture, across
leaden waters and left its breath, on the
hairy faces and on the bosoms of the flannel
shirts of those who clustered on the fore
castle and looked to windward. A long
and even swell upon the broad expanse of
ocean, a flash of while in a flying gull in
the foamy wake of a creaking ship; a low
and glowering horizon and hanging clouds
of mist and drizzle scurrying before a fitful
wind, a corvette bound to the westward in
the mighty Pacific!
A man with a navy cap pulled down over
his lace, climbs slowly to the starboard,
forecastle ladder. He is followed by an
other, a young one, who carries a sextant
box under his arm and a notebook between
his teeth. Both look tired and wan from

t-.ivq aii r our arrival, in an accidental way.
The LJonin Islands are divided into three
-. u,-s known to navigators as the Parry,
tre Itjily, the Peel and the Katcr groups.
O the Peel group are settled a few English
tad other Europeans, generally the descend
az. ot deserters from visiting whalemen or
other vessels. Port Loyd, the calling sta
tion on the largest island of this group, has
a good harbor of basin-like proportions and

A Crmlo, Ucpalnted Building.
0e balmy afternoon I had started inland
fo)u the circuit of the broad way of Port
Lai and climbed a woody mountain-side to
t. r i..Uf- beneath. Here, above a mass of
durL sreemh leaves, I saw protruding the
tj-ciitd roof of some settler's cottage.
(. rio'iiv led me to turu my steps in this
ci s direction, till I stood in front of a
d U. one-story building of the crudest con
t -ruction. Cnpainted and weather-stained,
tc roujrh boards that formed its sides leaned
id and out, warped by long exposure, and
w h hardly remaining strength enough to

t i There was a door hung upon leather
I f.es and closed.
1 stepped upon the half-barrel that served
a strpping-stone and knocked abruptly.
I'm bonie time there wasno response, though
Tie sound of my rapping echoed through
the crazy house. Presently, however, I
heard the noise of chair legs pushed about
& floor and the shuffle of heavy feet. The
door opened cautiously about half way and
in the gloom of the interior stood a strange
and uncouth figure.
"What do ye want?" he asked sharply of
me, in good English.
Picture of the Outcast.
As the light came slowly in through the
leafy bower overhead, I made out more dis
tinctly the figure and appearance of tho
the man. He was a tall and bony person,
with whitened hair and sunburned, wrinkled
face. His predominant features were hia
deep set, ferret eyes, overhung with bushy
brows, and a nose that was hooked and
large. He wore a coarse shirt, cut off at the
elbows, and a ragged pair of trousers that
barelv reached his naked feet.
"What do yc want?" he repeated harshly.
"I am tired, sir," I said, "from my long
walk, and seeing your house through the
trees, was attracted by curiosity and
knocked upon vour door."
He hesitated a moment and passed his
hand once or twice across his large mouth.,
"I haven't any room for strangers nor
nothing else. But ye can sit on the step it
ye wish, and there's water back of the house,
in a tub if ye is thirsty."
And he shut the door again.
The Boy Was More Hospitable.
I stood irresolutely a moment, and then,
followed his advice and a little foot-worn
fath that led to the rear of the house. Here
found the water in the tub, and a crude
cocoanut dipper to drink from. X noticed,
Where He Brought Sit Bride.
too, that an apology for a window had been
cut in the boards here, and a dirty piece of
calico acted as a curtain on the inside. As
I replaced the dipper this curtain was
pushed aside, and the face of my inhospita
ble friend, with theferfttty eyes, gazed
fixedly at me.
"Well, ain't ye gone yet?"
I shook my head and replied that the sun
was hot, and I would rest myself a bit, I
thought, before Istarted back. He-dropped
the curtain, and I could hear the shuffle of
his feet again across the floor. So I went
around again and sat on the barrel step.
Half an hour passed, and I had just thrown
away the short stump of the cigar I had
been smoking, and was thinking of starting
in earnest when the door opened again, and
my queer friend stood upon the sill.
"Ye see, stranger," he said, "I don't
want to be mean and oncivil to"ye, but we
never have no strangars here, and never
sees no one and don't wants to. But I
reckon ye are a new one on the island, and
don't mean no harm. I've got a sick boy in
here, and he's been a-beggjng to let ye in
and be civil to ye sol does if ye wants
to."
Backed by a Burning Fever.
And he held the door wide to let me pass.
The room was low and musty with the
smell of decayed vegetation. The floor was
of boards, loosely laid on the bare ground,
with no attempt at any caulking. Two.
rude chairs, an attempt at a table and a low
bedstead made from planks placed against
the wall, supported by props from beneath,
constituted the entire furniture. When my
eyes became accustomed to the gloom I saw
stretched on this rude cot the figure of a
man. My strange host offered me a chair,
and when I had seated myself, commenced.
"Yes, sir, he's pretty sick, is he. I don't
scarcely know as what ails him. He's been
down two months now, and just lays there
and sort of says nothing, only stares about
most of the time."
I moved my chair to the bedside and sat
down again. The patient was a tall and
well-built man of perhaps 25; before his ill
ness he must have been a person of splendid
physical proportions, but ne was weak and
wan enough now. His face was very placid,
but very, very pale; his eyes were closed
and he breathed irregularly. I felt his
hands; they were dry and hot and his tan
gled hair lay in wet masses on his broad,
whito brow. The older man stood by me as
I looked down, running his coarse hand
across his lips nervously as he watched.
Would Not Ilavo a Doctor.
"He has fever," I said.
"Yes; I guess that's it like it it -worries1
me dreadful sort, he looks so yearning at
me sometimes, and I don't know as what to
do always."
"Is he any kin of yours?"
He wiped his dry mouth again and hitched
up his coarse trousers about his waist.
"Well, yes, sir; sort of kin my son, sir."
I sat a while longer, and when I rose to
go I promised to bring the father something
irom the ship (he would not listen about a
doctor) the next day or the day following.
The old man followed me to the door, and,
holding it open for me, said: "He's a-sleep-ing
now;" closed it behind him, and
guessed he would walk a step with me
through the woods.
Our conversation, at first desultory, grad
ually led un to the subiect of his own nasi
life and the history of his queer surround
ings. He told it briefly.
Story of tbo Outcast.
Ho had run away from home a New
England home over 40 years ago, and
shipped on a whaler bound to the southern
seas. He had served on her three years and
over as the vessel rounding the Horn came
slowly toward the cruising grounds of the
Northern Pacific. Things had gone from
bad to worse between the captain and him
self for many months particularly after
they had rescued the crew of a sinking
South Sea trader, among them a young
woman, the daughter of the trader's
drowned captain. With this girl he feU in
love, and her treatment by the captain
made his soul boil with rage. So what
with the beatings he got and the insulting of
her, "we took we two the yawl and one
night when the Mary Clyde came in for
water at Port Loyd, pulled ashore and took
to the woods."
They built the little house I had seen, and
for over 30 years had lived there. She had
been dead these 15 years, leaving behind
her the boy, now grown to manhood. They
had lived all this time on what their little
Ftrst tight of the Sea.
garden had brought them on what fish he
could catch in the bay, or on the meat of
some turtles he bad now and then captured.
The hard experiences of the past sea life of
his wife had affected a little her "thinking
powers," as he put it, and she never again
came down to the ocean or in sight of it,
nor had she ever allowed her son to approach
its shores.
The Boy Never Saw the Sea.
After her death, her son had become so
long used to the habit of obedience, that,
though living on an island, ocean-bound, he
had never seen it nor heard the roar of its
mighty waves. They had no tools of any
kind, and she was "not very much, sir, on
education and the like noway," he said, so
his son had "sorter growed up with the hills
and trees and knew nothing else beside
them."
My visit of tho next day was not the last
one. It was followed by daily ones there
after. I had consulted the doctor of our
ship with reference to the case and had
great difficulty in preventing him from
visiting the patient himself. In fact he did
once, I believe, but was bo roughly met by
the surly old man as never again to attempt
it. But he gave me medicines and much
good advice. So, over tho woody hills each
day I tramped to the little wretched cottage
In the valley. And I was glad to see the
happy look of recognition in the glassy
eyes, or the wave of the weak, bony hand
-above the coarse sheet about him. That he
was fading, day by day, I saw; that death
was but waiting, hour by hour, to knock
upon the lonely door, I knew full well.
But In my heart there grew for him this
man so utterly outside my world a real
and tender affection.
His Mind a Perfect Blank.
Yet, In our daily, quiet talks, and we
had these always at our meetings, I never
met nor wish to meet again, a mind so abso
lutely blank, so devoid of the slightest
knowledge or conception of other men; the
history of his own or any other age, or the
triumphs of art, science, war, astronomy or
religion. It was as if a babe had sprung to
sudden maturity and been thrown into the
society of mankind, long used to all the
benefits of years of education and civiliza
tion. I used to recall often the story of the
child born in a French prison, who was
reared in solitude and darkness tor 20 years;
this was even worse perhaps than the case
ot my strange dying mend. Jb or at least
the latter knew language when he heard it;
knew color when he saw it, knew the trees,
the rocks, the animal life about him: but of
the causes for, the reasons why, nothing.
Sometimes when I was deep in the rela
tion of some great historical event: some
wonderful discovery; some astounding in
vention, he would turn his pale face to roe,
and half whisper to mein a placid way some
simple, childlike question, that all my phil
osophy could not answer. It was as if one
who had never seen fire, had asked of an
other who had seen it and in all the
majesty of some roaring conflagration
"What is fire?" "What does it look like?"
Day by day he grew weaker, and both his
father and myself knew the end was nigh.
Little by little I changed the topio of our
talks from earthly things to those beyond.
But I saw that, too, was even more utterly
blank and incomprehensible than the for
mer. He listened gently, with often a faint
smile upon his lips but, alas, a dark void, I
knew, in his souk
Begged to See the Ocean.
And I could almost see the struggle in his
mind within himself, always to lose itself in
the dull look of total ignorance. At last one
stormy morning we saw the end had come
indeed: and when I softly entered, he
opened wide his eyes and faintly beckoned
me. X bent my head to his; he put his hot
lips to my.ear and whispered: "I would like
to see the ocean you have told me ot.
We made his father and I hastily a
rnde litter and carried him the poor, worn
frame up the mountain side and down to
where the great waves were breaking on the
beach. Dark and heavy clouds were fast
flying across the leaden sky the rising gale
blew cold and wet in salty spray about us.
He did not mind, but lay quiet and still,
with a half smile on his lips. Suddenly he
raised: he motioned tome and pointing with
-his lean and weakened arm seaward, gasped:
"is that it the sea?"
"Yes yes."
"1 understandnow it is God."
And with these whispered words the soul
of the child-man came into the presence of
-its Giver. Mason W. Shxjfeldt,

That Never Fait
Nervous prostration (neurasthenia),
epinal anemia, spinal irritation, nervous
debility, nervousness and weak nerves aro
different names given to an affection of tha
nervous system, which is becoming more
and more common. The habits of the aver
age American is, in almost every particular,
calculated to produce this form of nervous
disorder. Hard work, close competition,
business uncertainties, little sleep and high
living, the use of narcotics, all tend alike to
injure the nervous system. The dress and
customs of polite society, the ever-increasing
pressure of business circles, the reckless
indulgence of the sporting classes, each fur
nish their quota to swell the terrible list of
nervous wrecks that crowd the many-hospitals
and sanitariums of our country. Thou
sands remain at their homes, desperately
trying to go through the tedious routine of
the duties of household, farm, shop or office,
taking nervine after nervine, vainly striv
ing to put off the day when they shall break
down altogether, a. ouraen to themselves,
a trial to their friends, these unfortunate
people continue to drag out a miserable ex
istence year after year.
ststtoms.
Probably the most invariable symptom in
the history of nervous prostration is morbid
fear. A foreboding of calamity of soma
sort, vague apprehensions, a sense that
something awful is about to happen, often
precedes for a long time the general debility
which is to follow. The loss of vitality of
the nervous system deranges the functions
more or less of every organ" in the Body.
The head is one day congested with too
much blood, and perhaps the next day
pallid, because of too little blood. Twitch
ing of the eyelids, moving brown specks
before the eyes, and metallic ringing in the
ears, are the result of brain exhaustion.
Tho appetite and digestion mav remain
good, although loss of appetite and nervous
dyspepsia are very often prominent symp
toms in such cases. Sour stomach after
eating, with belching of gas, is very
troublesome a feeling of great weight in
the stomach after eating a full meal, pro
ducing in some cases a terrible depression,
causing the patient indescribable suffering,
even when the appetite ana digestion re
main trood.
Morbid fear of leavinft home, or being
separated from their usual attendants, also
ot taking medicine for tear of being poi.
soncd, fear of great storms, of crowded as
semblies, all or either and many others are
likely to be present in a decided case of
nervous prostration. A constant desire to
talk of their symptoms is commonly so
great as to make it difficult to keep such
-patients Ions at a time talking or thinkine
of anything else. Chills and hot flashes of
very irregular duration ana recurrence come
and go without seeming cause. The hands
and feet are usually cold and clammy, and
the general tendency is to dryness and cool
ness of the skin of the whole body.
Among tha symptoms to which this class
of patients are liable, but not always pres
ent, may be mentioned neuralgic headache,
nervous chills, hysteria, sinking or faint
spells, distressing palpitation of the heart,
defective eyesight, total inability to read,
write or do any business; urine abundant,
without color, loss of flesh, sleeplessness
and many others, of which each case pre
sents a different array.
HTGENIO TREATMENT.
This consists, first, of an entire change Of
habits as possible. Wnatever vocation the
patient has followed should be entirely sus
pended, or as nearly so as possible, and
some other employment taken "up to the ex
tent the strength of the patient will permit
Entire leisure is not favorable to improve
ment, as the patients are too apt to dwell on
their troubles.
Second, the diet should consist largely of
animal food, jurided by the preference of
the patient. A long walk before bed time
will frequently procure a good night's rest
A tepid bath often will accomplish the
same desirable end.
It is generally impossible to keep the
bowels regular by any hygienio measures,
as the patient is unable to take exercise
enough to keep up the natural action of the
bowels. An effective and gentle laxative
that does not weaken or disturb digestion
is a very desirable remedy in these cases,
but hard to find., I have found Man-a-lln
to be by far the best laxative in these cases'
X have ever been able to procure. There is
no laxative the equal of Man-a-lin'in cases
where a natural movement of the bowels is
desirable rather than active purgation.
SPECIFIC MEDICAIi TREATMENT.
The first difficulty I meet with in the
proper treatment of nervous prostration is
to get my patients rid of the many nervines,
stimulants and sedatives which they havo
usually become accustomed to before con
sulting me. It would be difficult to over
estimate the damage these drugs do in such
cases. Bromides, valerinates, chloral, opium
in every form, caffeine, cocaine and many
others are all alike of great injury and of no
possible good. To get all these and many
other similar remedies away from the
patient, and Pe-ru-na in their stead, is the
first thing to be accomplished.
After the patient has taken Pe-ru-na, to
the exclusion of everything else, a short
time, there is a marked change in all the
symptoms. The appetite becomes regular,
sleep natural and every disagreeable symp
tom improved. Of course it is sometimes
several months or more before a permanent
cure is realized, but it is only a question of
time; Pe-ru-na will not fail to cure a single
uncomplicated case. Pe-ru-na is a perfect
specifio for these cases, and is absolutely in
vincible. There aro no failures where these
directions are faithfully followed. The itn-.
provement is prompt, and the patient can
rest assured that a perfect cure will follow a
persistent use of it.
Pe-ru-na contains no phosphorous,
strychnine or quinine to temporarily exalt
the nervous system, but acts permanently
by restoring tho normal functions. It con
tains no narcotic or sedative, and does not
derange the action of any bodily functipn
during its use. I have no hesitation or
misgiving in making positive promises of
results in advance as the cure of nervous
prostration in any form by Pe-ru-na, taken
according to above directions, except only
in cases where softening of the brain or
spinal cord had commenced before the use
of Pe-ru-iTa was begun.
