READING IN BED.

London Telegraph: Reading in bed
used to be objected to in the old days
on the score of danger, and one of the
first injunctions of a hostess to her guest
was in reference to that prevalent, but
disquieting practice. But in these days,
when electric light has removed the risk
Of fire, the question is one solely of it's
benefit or harm to the prospective Sleep
er. The Medical Press and Circular is OF
the opinion that a short purse Of some
standard author may act as a composing
sedative, but books which contain ex-
tremes of wit, melo-drama, comedy,
tragedy or philosophy should be avoided.
Like a good supper, the reading should
be neither too heavy nor too stimulating.
On the other hand, most physicians are
of the opinion that bed should be kept
as much as possible for sleep. A habit
of reading before putting out the light
and closing ones eyes is apt to grow and
become a tyranny, and. like drugs, the
more you indulge in it the longer has the
reading to be to have the desired effect.
1t must be admitted, however, that the
habit, to all but those fortunate beings
who are asleep the moment their head
touches the pillow, is very seductive,
and that a good many peoples most seri-
Gus reading is done at that time.

A RUBBER BAG.

New York Press: All through the San
tiago campaign, aboard the hospital ship
on the way home and in the hospital at
TT. Wadsworth, where he was confined
under treatment for a southern fever, j.
T. Murray never lost his hold Upon a
small, waterproof rubber bag which he
carried.
He chung to it affectionately, as if j
were a thing Of lite, or as if it contained
the souvenir Of some tragic moment in hii
career. Even in death, which came to
him yesterday, Murray held tightly to hi,
treasure, and it was only taken from him
when the fingers relaxed and the doctors
and nurses folded the hands of the old
! soldier.
Murray was As years old, and had spent
more thar half of hat time in the service
OF his country. AS a private he was the
jolly fellow of his regiment, a man Of the
type which Kipling made famous by hi
word picture of Mulvaney, but when Muir
ray became Sergeant Major of the Fiji
teenth United States Infantry he took o.
more dignity without losing any Of his
soldierly qualities, and it was for this
reason, perhaps, that the story Of his
treasure was net known to his comrades
1t was on the hospital ship tina MUIR
rays bag became famous. The doctors
discovered 1t, and wanted to take it from
him f.r safekeeping, but re would not

He's got a story Of the war writ for a
magazine, SOS he kin sell it in NJ York"
suggested one of the half-sick men on the
ship. in a baEtering way, but Murray

IN reaching the hospital at Fl. Wads-
worth, the doctors were almost detcrmin-
cd TO take Murray's bag from him. They
saw 1t was ~aggravating his Illness. He
worried about it constantly, and the
worry intensified his fever. One day he
came out of ar attack of delirium, and
had forgotten where he had placed the
bag. He found it under his pillow. The1,

for color combinations, it may be said
further that a broad distinction must be
made between tailor waists and those in
tended for different wear. Tailor waists,
whether of silk or the heavy cottons,
. whether meant for use with cloth gowns
or outing suits of madras and silk, wheth-
er intended for walking or golfng or BIZ
cycling, cannot be too severe. Other
waists cannot be too soft, too profusely
trimmed or too feminine. To be success
full, this summers shirt waist must
cnoose its class and then stick absolutely
to its own side Of the line.
The most manuish shirt waist has q
stiff and starched bosom and fastens
with studs. 1t differs IN but few details,
such as the soaring height OF it's collar.
which must leave no space between it's
edge and the tendder ear, from the cor
responding shirt of last summer. 1t is
the most uncomfortable OF all shirts,
adopted just as men have found it impos-
sible for warm weather. When most cor
rect, it has q short yoke in the back. While
in front the stiff bosom reaches straight
to the collar Its only concessions to fem
ininity are the loose folds down the sides
of the bosom.
What conimends this shirt to its wear
ers is the fact that it must be made to
order and cannot become common The

place to match each, or else Of pure

ed with polka-dotted linen or jean bands
the dots being Of the color of the silk,
and the ground corresponding with the
skirt. These bands are used for cuffs and
whatever finish is needed, just as if they
are sewn on plain with no gathers.
The greater severity Of the tailor waist
and the greater elaboration of the more
dressy bodice are natural consequences
of the struggle to be different from the
conventional shop waist. The combina-
ton of jean and silk and the many odd
uses of the novelty piques show how far
in this direction ingenuity can 60.
An outing dress Of deep pink Jean has
a skirt with tight-ftting back, the bot
tom Of which is finished with a band Of

pretty, simple model, suitable for a soft,
Gellcate-toned wash silk, shows two clus-
ters Of cords at the shoulders. front and

tucks, each tuck edged by a tiny frill of
the waist material. The tops of the cuffs
are corded and tucked, and the sleeves,
which open on the inside, are fastened by
small white silk buttons.
Silk is one of the best materials for
shirt waists, if it is really good enough
to be washable. 1t has the advantages of
GOODNESS and comfort and of lasting about
three times as long as the cheaper cot
tons. Some of the more novel silk waists
of this season are made to correspond
with the linen or jean skirts they are
meant to accompany by being ornament

used for draped vests and sashings, while

SMALL EXHIBIT OF QUICKSAND.

New York World: 1.-The contents Of
that little BOTTLE" said a leading con-
tractor Of New York, holding up a small
half-pint 4iask, ''cost our firm $1,000. 1t
is the rlost expensive article we have in
stock"
TIE bottle had about an inch and a half
Of sand in the bottom, and above that
about an inch Of dirty water. AS one
turned the bottle the only thing notice
able about the sand was its marvellous
limpidity. 1t ran hither and thither like
quicksilver.
Yes" continued the contractor, that
is quicksand. the zane Of contractors
whose work takes them underground.
We got that article at a depth of 4S2 feet,
in one of the Southern states. The bed
Of sand out Of which it came swallowed
up our entire plant Of tools, and w had
our work for nothing, for we had 10
abandon the job.
We We're sinking a well and We're just
out $1,000, and that little bottle of sand
and muddy water is all we nave to show.
We think a good deal Of the bottle.
Nobody will believe the tenacity Of
%quicksand unless he has han experience
with IT. Once it seizes anything that
thing has got to go down. 1t drags it
below with a tenacity of grip no force
one bring to bear from the surface
can counterfeit. The tool, or whatever
the sand has in it's clutches, goes down.,
down, down, and if one hangs on long
enough with any mechanical contrivance,
that contrlvance will go down, too. There
is no such thing as resisting this myste-
rlOus, unseen force.
Nobody has been able to account for
quicksands. There is no such thing as
calculating their presence or absence in
Y locality. They are found every
where, with no surface indications OF
their presence. Manhattan island, rocky
and hllly as it is, is full Of them. They
will have to ~be-counted on in the con-
struction of the underground road.
Il know one contractor in a small way
who was financially ruined by them. He
had a contract to drive II piles in Pearl
street. He drove 124 before he got his
IL to stick. 1t was night when he finished
the job, and he told the engineer he
would be happy to have him inspect the
job in the morning. When the engineer
got there there wasn't a pile in sight.
The q%uicksand had got it's finger tips on
the ends of the piles and had drawn them
down. These 124 piles are still under
ground somewhere. Maybe they are
sinking vet, for sometimes the depths of
the Watery sandbeds are unfathomable."
