READING IN BED.
Not Bad if Neither Too Heavy Nor Too
Stimulating.

Stimulating.
Reading in bed used to be objected
to in the old days on the score of dan
ger, and one of the first injunctions
of 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 its
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 composing sedative, but books
which contain extremes of wit, melo-
drama, comedy, tragedy or philos-
ophy 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, however, that the habit, to
all but those fortunate beings who are
asleep the moment their heads touch
the pillow, is very seductive, and that
good many peoples most serious
reading is done at that time.-Lon-
don Telegraph.
