in courteous way. speaking the Ian
guage and understanding every detail
OF Bedouin etiquette. one receives
cordial invitation to enter and rest in
the shade, and coffee is at once Of
fered one and a sumptuous meal is
prepared for the unknown visitor.
The needs OF horse or camel are also
attended to carefully.
Outside the tent the men enjoy a
smoke and chat, and their inevitable
coffee. Squatting in circle around
the camp fire. they flash their long
pipes and listen to the old-time STORY
teller" His lengthy stories OF adven-
ture or fables OF weirdly imaginary
plots hold the company spellbound.
A sleepless Night.
At length when night is far spent
and the last Pickering ember among
the ashes has died out and stiffness
prevails throughout the camp, the
traveller also retires to his tent, his
mind filled with variety Of interest
ing pictures of the strange life he has
entered upon. But alas! trivial ac-
encampment which do not in the least
disturb the native, to that life born,
are cause of great annoyance to the
visitor and give him sleepless night
Near by his tent are the interesting
noises of the continual movements of
the hundreds of camels around the
camp, the bleating of sheep, the bark
ing of dogs, the braying of donkeys
and the stamping of horses hoofs, all
of which goes on all night long. Fur
ther off are the chirping OF crickets,
the croaking Of frogs and the uncom-
Portable sounds of the shrieking of
jackals and hyenas. But these are
minor troubles to those within the
tent Here flies, mosquitoes and sand
flies are his closest companions, and
thickly inhabit his lodging. The heat,
which to the Bedouin is a source of
comfort, grows insufferable to the poor
stranger. These are the drawbacks
to an insight into Bedouin life.
Long ere daybreak he is awakened
from a morning nap-at last attained
through sheer exhaustion-by the
screams of the children all around the
camp Life is astir, and the work OF
the women has begun. And thus be-
gins another day in the Bedouin camp
to be spent exactly like yesterday and
and the day before. and so on for a
succession of days. weeks, months and
years. While life shall last the Be-
douin knows no change. nor does he
wish for any.

Police Outwitted,

One Of the most remarkable political
meetings on record is described in a
Paris paper as having taken place at
Riga The Let's Socialists desired to
hold meetings The Riga police ex-
pressed an opposite view, and then the
contest began in reality. 1t was brains
versus determination. Wherever the
socialists determined to pitch their

Meat and Cancer.

In view of the fact that meat, and
especially fresh meat. is comparative
ly very cheap In Australia and in con.
sequence its use probably very much
more general than In any other coun.
try. It may be interesting on account
of meat being frequently associated
with cancer to note tho Incidence of
this disease,
In 1908 the total number of deaths
reported in the Commonwealth was
46,426 or this number 1921. or 6.29
per cent. were due to cancer II the
population is estimated at 100000
the incidence would be ono death per
annum in every 1.540 OF tho popula
ton This rate is very much lower
than that OF the United States, Great
Britain or Germany.-Msdical Record
