Wounds of the Heart.
In wounds of the heart itself the es
cape of blood is never in large quanti
ty, and the lethal consequences are
due to the fact that the escape of blood
from within its cavity of cavities into
the surrounding sac of the pericardium
mechanically interrupts the alternate
contraction and expansion by which
its pumping action is maintained. Ac
cordingly the results of the wound of
the heart are usually Identical with
those of gradual suffocation. Ex
change.

Morocco, in spite of its close proxim

the Mohammedan countries.
No Pity There.
Undutiful boys may see themselves
held up as before a mirror In the fol
lowing anecdote: A young Irish girl
in giving testimony in a court of Jus
tice, when asked some questions in
reference to the prisoner, replied. "Ar
rah, sir, Tm sure he never made his
mother smile." There is a biography
of un kindness in that simple sentence.

Father of Astronomy.
Hipparchus, the father of astronomy,
established the fact of the precession
of the equinoxes—that Is, that the von

farther westward each year—lso years
before Christ was born, and It Is con
sequently believed that he knew the
earth was spherical in form. He cata
logued 1,000 stars and invented an In
strument for calculating latitude and
longitude.

The Browns were always on the outa.

Hard on tha Proofreader.
Getting typographical errors out ol
dictionaries Is a task beside which
that little Augean stable affair of Her
cules waß an afternoon snap.
When the Oxford edition of the Bible
was published the proofs were read
and reread ten times. Then a reward
of |250 was offered to any one who
should find a typographical blunder.
One was found in the first chapter of
Genesis. Dictionary proofreading is
even more difficult than Bible proof
reading.
There Is a tradition that a man who
read proofs of the Lord's Prayer for
that Oxford edition went insane out of
fear lest he made a blunder in it-
