In a recent article in the Indepen- dent. Margaret Deland makes a strong plea for the cheerful novel, For my part, she says, q find as I grow older I want the novels 1 read to end well. \ story, let Us say, of Siberian convict life might be told with truth so far as facts go and with art in it's telling, and yet leave the reader mis- erable and unhappy.

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 injunctions of a hostess to her guest was in refer ence 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 10 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 sedatige, but works which contain extremes of Wit, melo- drama, comedy, tragedy or philosonhy should he 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 aa 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 de. sired 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 very seductive. and that q good many peoples most serious read ing is done a that time-London Tels graph

scribes the fleet as existing only in the
past and future, as there arc at present
only seven battleships which could be
of any use and severely stigmatizes the
reckless waste of $500, 100000 on the
naval budget during the last 20 years,
stating that that sum would have been
amply sufficient, If judiciously en-

SECRET
Session Of the Com
mittee of Five.
Chairman Raymond Makes a State.
ment---His Opinion. :.

Another meeting of the School
Board Committee to inquire into and
investigate the management and
conditions of the public schools was
held in the assembly room of the
High school Tuesday night.
Mr.. Chas. B. Raymond, chairman
of the committee, said it was the
policy of the committee to do its
duty and then give its findings to
the public, thus all the investigating
will be done in absolute secrecy.
The reason for conducting the in
vestigation in secrecy is to not give
the public material to talk about,
which might injure some of the
parties involved in some way. Mr..
Raymond said the committee wanted
to be fair to every one. 1t is under
stood that principals of the various
schools were examined last night.
The appointment of DR.. F. G.
Reed, as a member of the commit
tee, has created adverse criticism.
He is an avowed Thomas man.
