Reading in Bed.

Reading in bed used to be objected to in the old days on the score of danger, and one of the first iniunctions of a hostess to her guest was in refer ence to that prevalent but disauietfng 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 sleeper The Medical Press and Cir cular is of the opinion that short course of some standard author may act as a composing sedative, but works which contain extremes of wit. melo- drama, comedy, tragedy or philosophy should be avoided. Like a good sup, per. 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 de- sjN'el effect. It must be admitted. however, that the habit, to all but those fortunate beings who are asleep the moment their head touches the pillow, is veiy seductive. and that good many peoples most serious read. Ing IS done at thattime.-London Tele- graph.

 When Pope Leo XIII. dies his imme- diate successor will be Cardinal Luigi 0reglta, Camarlingo of the Roman Catholic Church He will not be called Pope, but according to the laws in force he will be Acting Pope until the new Pope is elected. The Vatican reg ulations decree that the election of the new Pope cannot take place until after the burial of the late Pope. which takes place ten days after his deceage. In many instances the election is not completed for weeks or months. so that the Camarlingo may enjoy his oapal power for long time. Leo KIT. held the position ef CamarJlngo wher he himself was elected to the pont!A- cate, but it does not seem probable that his Camarlingo will succeed to the papal throne. It is the Camarlfngo who formally declares the pope dead after tapping his forehead three times with the silver hammer. He it is who breaks the seals and Ring of the Fish. erman, and then assumes the diree- ton of the Apostolic see until the new pope is chosen. The Camarlingo pre-. sides over the sacred conclave of the cardinals having the election in hand. and keeps the key of the place of meet ing, so that none can enter or go out save with his consent. When the election is concluded he asks the naw pontif what name he intends to take.
