Rio de Janeiro being unhealthy, the
Brazilian government appointed COM

commission has fixed upon a plateau

be eighteen hours. No yellow fever

II every one vas born with a tag OF
destiny attached. One ofiicer finally
arose and said there was no use Of
discussing the matter any further; the
only way was to make a practical test
OF the question, and that he would give
himself as a subject. Could a man
wilfully dispose OF his life when the
fatal moment had been chosen at his
birth from above?
He could get no one to try the ex-
pertinent on him. Finally a wager was
made.
Who will pay you IL I lose?" said
the subject, as he drew his pistol and
showed that 1t was loaded. He placed
the pistol against his temple and pulled
the trigger. The pistol missed fire.
"A joke" yelled the crowd.
The fatalist smiled, and, recocking the
pistol, aimed 1t with steady hand at

In the days Of the ''old army" on
the frontier, when military posts were
sometimes hundreds of miles from any
civilized place, there was little to do in
the way OF amusement in the winter

and 1t was then that the reputation the
army has for card playing and drink
