SIeep in Sickness,

informed people. Don't let her sleep too

In Burmah they play the game in man.
ner totally unlike the sport as we know it,
but they call it football just the same. The
Burmese ball is made of light bamboo
wickerwork, about the size of the knot in
the players turban. Imagine such ball
in use at a Thanksgiving day game, with a
dozen ablebodied men piled on top and
endeavoring to get hold of it. The result
would be a beautiful fiat mat of light bam-
boo wickerwork. There is no team work.
The game as played in Burmah is run
strictly upon individual principles, and
each man has the play all to himself. Knees,
elbows, feet heads and shoulders play
their part, and the main object is to keep
the ball in motion and at the same time to
prevent it from touching the ground
incidentally the players assume positions
that would cause a professional contortion-
list to abandon his calling AS has been re-
marked they call it "football'' in the coun-
try of the Burmese, but we who possess
civilization and are prone to discriminate
would term it Juggling. But it is never
theless wonderful game, requiring skill
and proficiency. When one player has had
enough, and exhibited all his particular
tricks, of play, the ball is passed on, and
whoever gets it proceeds at once to have an
exhibition on his own account. Thus it is
passed all around, and the spectators are
duly edited and delighted The elite of
Rangoon society may rejoice in the game
but when the light of advanced civilization
has driven away the shadows of that land,
and progress is implanted in their midst
then will sure-enough football gain foot
ing. And perhaps horns, yellow coaches
and other evidences of enlightenment will
then play their part too.-Harper's Weekly.

Here is description of Il September day,
taken from The First Crossing of Green
land"
On the morning of Sept. the weather
was glorious and the air still. There had
been light fall of snow in the night. The
sun shone over the infinitely monotonouS
snowtield, which, rising almost impercep-
tibly, stretched away and away in front of
us like one huge white carpet, glittering
with diamonds, soft and fine in texture rs
down, and laid in long, gentle undulations
which the eye could scarcely follow
But in the afternoon the aspect of our
landscape changed entirely 4 biting wind
got up from the northwest which drove
the snow before it in one overwhelming
whiriy'ind The sky then cleared .cm
pletely and the weather grew colder
The wind increased in strength; it was
bitter work toiling along against it, and
we had to be careful not 20 get badly frozen.
First my nose hardened, but discovered
this in time to save it by rubbing it we'll
with snow thought myself safe now.
but then felt Il queer chilly feeling uLder
my chin, where found that my throat was
quite numb and stiff. By more rubbing
and wrapping some mittens and other
things around my neck, | put matters
straight there
But then came the worst attack of all. us
the wind found its way in through my
clothes in the region of my stomach, and
gave rise to terrible pains This was met
by the use of Il soft felt hat as a chest pro
tector, and was now armed at all points
My companions suffered rs did. and the
bodily comforts of our tent were more wei

are pretty nearly enough reform pa-

truth is the steady yeOmanry of Kan

he, 1.-THE political horizon is by no

thing since the day the cow iumped

light, 1t was thought they had be-
gun to diSintegrate, but they don't
seem to show it. They have held
state and congressional conventions,

carry the legislature and so give PEI
fer a colleague of the same political
faith as himself" Evidently Mr.. In
