patients showed no signs Of the pres
ence Of bacteria. That disposed of the
microbe theory. Ten years earlier a
Cuban physician, DR.. Carlos Firlay,
Of havana, had propounded the theo-
~ that the fever could be carried by
mosquito, the culex (now stegomyia)
fasciatus. The board began to expert.
ment with this insect Eleven persons
were permitted to be bitten by these
contaminated mosquitoes. From nine
there was no result; two had yellow
fever. This proved conclusively that
the disease could be communicated in
that way.
The American board then undertook
the test which has become famous.
Two experiment houses were built at
Quemado, Cuba, one Of them called

low fever is Of African origin, it is mo-
difficult to explain it's Transportation
to America. 1t is one Of the baneful
legacies bequeathed by the slave trade
The slave dealers Of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries often lost
from one-haf to twO-thirds of their
cargo during the voyage from a mys-
FERROUS fever which broke out sudden
~ in the filthy holds Of the overcrowd-
ed ships, and this complaint, formerly
denominated African, or ship, fever, is
now believed to have been yellow
fever. Whenever it appeared among
the hapless and terrified wretches
packed in the middle decks Of the
slavers 1t made the most frightful raw
ages, and, as q rule, the crews Of the
vessels suffered equally with the
slaves. More than once in the history
adrift at sea, the holds filled with dead
blacks, while the white crews were
either dead or stricken with the fever
Even in those remote days it was
suspected that the plague was in some
way connected with yelloW fever. 1t
was observed that the latter sickness
occurred almost always at ports in
which 4 returned SLAYER had just dis
charged her cargo. It is not difficult
in the light Of present knowledge to
trace the course Of yellow fever in
tropical countries, and whenever suf-
fcient and unprecedented investigation
has been made it has been found that
the disease has followed the slave
trade. In the interior towns Of Mexi-
co, Central America and In the Span
ish set+' nents on the South African
CONT 1t not infrequently prevailed
after the arrival of a shiplosd of Afri-
can slaves, and its appearance in sub
tropical Europe may be referred to the
same cause. Its earliest recorded an
pearance as pestilence on the CONT
nent Of Europe was in the Spanish
ports OF the Mediterranean, whence it
spread to the cities of the Leyant
along the Red Sea and finally to India
In the latter country it found con-
genial surroundings and obtained so
firm foothold that it is still well es-
tablished in the crowded Hindoo cities
In the seventeenth century the slave
trade was regarded as a perfectly To-.
ultimate business, followed by the
ship owners Of every maritime nation.
but especially by the Spanish, then the
leading seafaring people Wherever
the slavers went they spread slavery
ana pestilence. and, since they sailed
as far east as Calcutta, the disease be-
came established in the equatorial
zone around the entire globe. Confined
to the torrid zone, the evil would still
have been bad enough, but it soon
made its way to other quarters of the

PLAYING HOCKEY.

I remember when in boyhood,
Just a step advanced from toyhood,
When in through the schoolroom win
dows foated eet the wild birds
call,
I would close my desk at dinner
Like hardened little sinner,
And the after-nooning found me play
ing hockey from 1t all.
What to us the far-off sorrow
Of the whipping on the morrow,
For the day seemed all the future
twas a hundred hours long,
And each hour we were enjoying
By the wood and pool-just boying.
While the wild birds caught our laugh
ing tones and wove them into song.
And to-day a robin twittered
Through the window, and my Uttered
Desk became the ink-bespattered one
my schooldays used to know,
When the voice of spring was crying
And some voice in me replying
To it's every note and echo-and some
yearning babe me go.
But a sterner duty letters
Me to those unanswered letters
While through half-opened shutters
sweet the wild birds cry and cali.
And I'm wishing, wishing, wishing,
I might steal off somewhere fishing,
Lock up every care and worry-3ust
play hockey from 1t all.

ling" The former was screened and
we'll ventilated; the other was screened
and unventilated In the former, pa
tents were bitten by infected mos
ouitoes: in the latter, no mosquitoes
were admitted, but the persons sub
hitting themselves to the experiment
slept with soiled bedding and clothing
direct from the yellow fever hospi-
tails. In thirteen cases where non-im-
munes were bitten by mosquitoes
which had bitten a fever patient, ten
contracted the disease. In the other
house, although an equal number had
slept there several nights, no one be-
came i'll.
This discovery, which has since been
verified repeatedly, at once worked a
revolution in the management of the
dreaded fever. At Havana a war of
determination against the culex was
begun. If the death-carrying pest
could be abolished, it was evident that
the scourge would disappear. If COM
plete determination were not possible.
there still remained the saiutary expe-
dent Of screening both the patient and
the non-immune person from the pres
ence OF the mosquito. This Is prac-
ideally tba modern way Of dealing with

II is observation-disclosures fact that
yellow fever has prevailed endemically
throughout the West Indies and in GER
tain regions on the Spanish main ever
since the discovery of America. Bar
bados, Jamaica and Cuba suffered cpl
denies before the middle of the sew
enteenth century. There were out
breaks of the pest in Philadelphia
Charleston ard Boston as early as
1892, and for hundred years after
ward there were occasional eruptiOns,
eliminating in the famous Philadel-
phia epidemic of 1893 Most Northern
cities were able by extraordinary SAM
tary and quarantine measures to pre-
vent great epidemics, at least after the
beginning Of the nineteenth century,
but the disease crept in from the West
Indies now and then and ragged cpl
demically in the Southern towns.
Although it has been the habit of
certain medical authorities, especially
those of foreign countries, to describe
yellow fever as a disease which Origi-
mated on the Western continent, there
is excellent ground for dissent. 1t is
we'll known to medical historians that
at the time when the plague first ap-
peared in the West Indies and at va
rious points in South and Central
America a similar disease ragged vio-
lently on the west coast Of Africa, in
the countries bordering on the Nediter-
ranean and in India. OF course its
wide distribution at the time it was
first classified as a distinct disease
would not initiate against the theory
Of it's American origin, but it is also
an undeniable fact that outbreaks Of
the disorder occurred in the lagOOns
Of Africa long before the discovery Of
the American continent.

idea was that somebody had got in

have broken into my cart for that

LET CHILDREN CHOOSE NAMES
Race Suicide Would End and Stork Be
Overworked by Method.

Race Suicide Would End and Stork Be
Overworked by Method.
A factor In this matter of race sui
eide that nobody seems to have con-
sidered is the appalling liberties pa
rents take with their helpless offspring
in this very matter Of names. No self
respecting child is going to be born
and run the risk Of lifelong ridicule
because its parents have humorous
ideas about names. 1 once knew a
girl who, born into the Button family,
was forthwith named Pearl, and it is
significant fact that she was the last
child that intrusted itself to that pair
of parents. There is in New England
to-day a man named Ware, who never
signs his firm name in full, because it
is Tin. 1t was his fathers idea Of q
joke. Another son Of the family was
named Wooden, but as soon as he
could fight back he called himself
Woten, which name he bears to-day.
The only parents l have known who
had a proper sense of justice toward
their children lived in Kentucky. Not
one Of their children was named by
them. Each child chose a name to suit
himself. One of the daughters has to
my knowledge, called herself at va
rious times Editha, Gladys, Marguer-
lite, Pansy, Genevieve and Hortense,
but as she is locally known as Pinkey
her indecision is a matter Of no mo-
ment. The important thing is that
there were eleven children in that
family, and the Button family ended
with Pearl. In considering the men
ace of race suicide this matter Of
names should not be overlooked. Let
it be understood that all children may
choose their own names and at once
the stork will be overwOrked.-Was

hadn't much fear-perhaps l might
tell the truth, and say l had none, for
l had a good pistol, and more than
that, my passenger was safe, yet 1
was glad when l came to the old -four
barrel factory that stands at the edge
Of Jackson, and in ten minutes more
hauled up in front Of the tavern. and
found a couple of men in the barn
cleaning down some stage horses.

Where am I? Let me out

"By this time the two hostlers had
come to see what was the matter, and
I explained the case. After this 1 got
one Of them to run and rout the sher-

got for him. The first streaks Of day.
light were just coming up and in half
an hour it would be broad daylight.
In less than that time the sheriff came
and two men with him. told him the
whole affair in a few words, and then
made for the cart. He told the chap
inside who he was, and If he made
the least resistance ned be dead

and as let the door down the fellow

ankle, and he came down on his face,

told the sheriff I should remain in
town all day.
AFTER breakfast the sheriff came
down to the tavern and told me that
had caught the very bird. and if i
would remain until the next morning
I should have the reward Of two hun
dred dollars which had been offered.
Il found my goods all safe, paid the
express agent for bringing them from
Indianapolis, and then went to work
to stow them away in my cart. The
bullet holes were found in the top of
the vehicle just as l expected They
were in line about five inches apart,
and had I been where l usually sit,
two Of them must have hit me some
where about the small of the back and
passed upward, for they were heavy
charges Of powder, and his pistols
were heavy ones.
