however. is the sequel. The peiman,
pleased with the reward given him. offered
to inoculate his patient so as to render him
proof against all kinds of bush fevers
no matter how much he might be exposed
to them, for at least 100 moons. If he
contracted fever II would be of the mildest

The traveller went to the settlement and
was inOculated. The operation consisted of
stabbing gently into the left wrist with
bunch of exceedingly fine needles plucked
from hard spiny leaf, the needles being
first passed through a flame and then
dipped in a black liquid. In short time
all the well-known symptoms of malarial
fever developed. then peculiarly nauseous
medicine was administered, and a deep
sleep completed the business. When the
patient awoke he felt perfectly well except
for the smarting of his wrist, which had to
be bandaged.
For long time after this he travelled In
some of the worst swamps of Central
America. undergoing considerable exposure
including night spent under the trees af-
ter the upsetting of his boat. OF the four
white men in the boats three had fever and
two died in twenty-four hours; the third
returned to the United States with health
completely broken.
Afterward he spent six years about the
isthmus of Panama, and in that hotbed of
FEVER, Colon, never experienced a days
fever. Not until ten years after incubation
did touch of fever come and then no
alarming symptoms were developed.

The Old Greek Ball Game.

From Good Words.
The balls were made of scarlet or purple
leather, and filled with flour or feathers,
grass, wool, fig seeds or sand They were
small, and the object of covering them with
such bright color was that they might
flash and look bright in the sum- and be
easily seen when they were thrown.
The players were generally girls dressed
in the Dorian costume, which can best be
reproduced to the fancy by remembering
the attire of Diana In the well-known group
Of her and the stag. Their dress was short,
barely reaching to their knees, and their
arms were bare, the dress being fastened
at the shoulder with gold or silver studs.
They stood at angles-sometimes, how
ment of the music, which was contributed
by Tyre player who sat on a seat near,
they began to weave all sorts of fanciful
steps in time and measure to the melody.
Then the ball was taken by the leader of
the game and thrown to one of the girls,
who caught it while she was dancing, If
possible while her feet were both off the
ground, and almost Immediately flung It to
another, who received it and dispatched it
In a similar manner. This bounding and
throwing communicated an aspect of the
most airy lghtneSS to the game, euualed
only, We imagine, by that common spec
tacle of the modern ballet, when a dancer
whose belt has been previously attached to
wire Is caught up aloft as If she were f1y-
ing. The same feeling of airy grace must
have been communicated to the Greek spec
tators when the girls were at the ball
dance-bounding high in the air, catching
the flying ball as 1t fiuttered through the
sky, and never seeming to touch earth, ex-
cept but for moment, during the whole
of the play.
