READING IN BED.
From The London Telegraph.

From The London Telegraph.
Reading in bed used to be objected to in the
old days the score OF danger, and one OF the
first injunctions of hostess to her guest was In
reference to that prevalent but disquietlng prac-
tice. But in these days, when electric light has
removed the risk Of fire. the question Is one
solely of its benefit harm to the prospective
1leeper. THE Medical Press and Circular Is OF
.he opinion that short course OF some standard
Yuthor may act a composing sedative, but
books which contain extremes OF wit, melo-
drama comedy tragedy or philosophy should be
avoided. Like good supper, the reading should
be neither too heavy too stimulating. On
the other hand, most physicians are OF the opln-
ion 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 read
ing 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 mo-
ment their head touches the pillow, is very Sc
ductiye and that good many peoples most
serious reading is done at that time.

HOW AMNEsTIED OFFENDERS DEVELOP INTO
VALUABLE SERVANTS OF THE STATE
Although the Car has until recently been re-
garded as thoroughly honest and loyal in his
profession of the most humane and generous
sentiments. yet the fact remains that both his
lieges and the world at large are still waiting
for his proclamation OF that amnesty for which
people have been looking ever since he came TO
the throne. five years ago. and Which would
have constituted a far more practical and con-
vincing demonstration of his philanthropy than
the organization OF peace congresses such as
that which assembled at The Hague on Wednes-
day. Amnesties for political offences were
looked for at the time OF the Cars accession
on the occasion Of his solemn coronation at
Moscow, and again at the birth Of his eldest
child. But no sign Of clemency has been given
by The Little Father" Of "All the Russas."

from New York for Mobile on Monday

noon yesterday. A great hole was stove in
her above the water line. and she was
towing swamped lifeboat. Everything
about her gave evidence of the storm
and stress which she had passed through.
She was boarded and the story OF their
narrow escape from death was told by the
crew They said that stiff gale caught
them Tuesday when off CuTrituck light, on
this coast. and the vessel became un-
manageable. Her head could not be kept
to the sea. and the waves beating against
her stern stove the great hole in it, through
which the water poured in torrent. wash

sprung leak. and the crew. who thought.
they said, that every downward plunge
she made would be her last, held a council
and determined to abandon her.
The lifeboat, made fast by a big cable.
was launched. but soon filled and sunk.
The crew. fearing to attempt escape in the
remaining boats. which they said they
did not think could live in the high sea
running. decided to stick to the steamer.
and managed finally to bring her into port.
When they arrived they were wet TO the
skin. and had eaten nothing for about two
days. were worn out, and only after they
had had some hours Of sleep could they be

that men were never nearer death than
they were on Tuesday. and they looked it.
