Reading in Bed.

Reading in bed used to be objected to
in the oil days on the score OF danger,
and one of he first injunctions OF hostess
to her suest was in reference to that
prevalent but disquietiug practice. But
in these days, when electric light has re-
moved the risk OF fire, the question is one
sorey of its benefit or harm to the pro-
spective sleeper. The Medical Press and
Circular is of the opinion that a short
course OF some standard author may act
as composing sedative, but books which
contain extremes OF wit, melodrama
comedy. tragedy or philosophy should be
avoided Like 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 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, how
ever, that the habit. to all but those fort
innate beings who are asleep the moment
their head touches the pillow. is very
seductive, and that good many peoples
most serions reading is done at this time.

Prevention of the Spread of
Consumption

The following rules are suggested by
the board OF health of Brighton, England:
% Expectation indoors should be
received into small paper bags and after
ward burned. (2) Expectoration out-of-
doors should be received into suitable
bottle, to be afterward washed out with
with boiling water, or into small paper
handkerchief to be burned. Cd If ordi-
nary handkerchiefs are ever used for
expectoration. they should be put into
boiling water before they have time to
become dry, or into some disinfectant
solution to be ordered by the doctor.
Cd Wet cleansing of rooms, particularly
of bedrooms occupied by sick persons
should be substituted for "dusting."
80 Sunlight and fresh air are the greatest
enemies of infection. Every con-
sumtive should sleep with his bedroom
window wide open top and bottom, and
during the day should occupy a well
ventilated room. Rebreathed air is the
main condition favoring consumption.
If the patient is warmly clad he need not
fear keeping out in any weather. N. b:
The patient himself is the greatest gamer
by the above precautions, as his recovery
is retarded and frequently prevented by
renewed infection derived from his own
expectora,ion. (6) Persons in good
health have no reason to fear the infection
of consumption Over fatigue, ntemper-
ance, bad air and dusty occupations favor
the spread OF the disease.

Scarcity In Horses.

There is decided scarcity of horses all
through the State, and the buyers are
having hard work to find what they want
in that line. For several years the buyers
have been through different sections of
the country buying up the best horsefesh
that they could find These horses were
bought for the New York markets and
commanded good prices. The buyers
made it a point to begin operations just
before the winter set in and great many
rather than keep their horses through the
winter let them 60 at the good prices
offered. The result is that there is a
scarcity OF the horses. There has been
but little attention paid to breeding,
recently. consequently it is almost an
impossibility fo' the local buyers ID find a
good actor with bit of speed.

A Christmas Tree Feature,

Dancing Christmas fairies always en-
nance the children's delight in the
Christmas tree and. once made, can be
used year after year. Buy up a dozen
or more Of and 10 celt dolls, and to
add to the variety have among the
number some Japanese and colored
dolls Dress these to represent fairies
In bright hues Of spangled gauze. tar
latan or tissue paper and literally
sprinkle their hair and garments with
diamond dust powder. Each doll should
be provided with dainty pair of fairy
wings made from spangled tissue pa
per and fastened to the body by means
of concealed wires. These wires should
be colled to obtain motion In the wings,
and nothing better can be used than
the fine spiral coils that come out of
wornout wire stitched brooms. The
least motion will set this spiral to
quivering. causing the wings to- move
as II In flight. In like manner use the
spiral wire to attach the dolls in hover
ing positions over and around the tree.
The effect is magical. Every footstep
causes jar enough to start the dolls
dancing and circllng above and around
the tree, as if the invisible fairies OF
the air had come down to join the
Christmas glee.-Woman's Home Com
panion.
