It is not unusual to bear a Bedouin upon reaching a camp wliere water is offered li ini refuse it wìth the remark. "I drank only yesterday." On the Bedouins' long marches across dry countries the size of the water skins is nicely calculated to just outlast the journey, and they rarely allow them selves to break the habit of abstemi- ; ousness, as this would be sure to uiake their next water fast ali the harder.

The economy of a stock company ot fered interesting instances bere at the old Boston museum. Some of thè actors had no intention of letting grass grow under idle feet. One player was a bar ber by day; another, the beloved "Smithy," was a tailor —very properly, the tailor played fops. I had a partic ular friend who was a cab driver. Who sìiall point the fìnger of scora that these had two strlngs to their bow? Their example mlght be well followed. An honest barber or, for that matter, an honest cab driver may be the noblest work of God. And well may the actor's study of mankind be multiplied a thousandfold by the scraping of innumerable chins or the driving of the accidental wayfarer from the cradle to the grave. Who could better_take man's measure than | the tailor, dissect him to a,hair thnn l the barber or consider bis final desti nation than the cab driver? —"My Re membrances," by E. A. Sothern In Scribner's Magazine. Wounds of the Heart. In woimds 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 witb those of graduai suffocation. Ex change. PENNSYLVANIA NEWS IH BRIEF Interesting Items From Ali Sec tions ot th Stsla.
