Black silk and colored silk coats and cos

in fanciful fashion. some hanging full over
the shoulders, others drawn tight TO the
bust where they are finished with a knot
of ribbon or a velvet rosette. A plain vel

in some very bright shade. One appears
IN to-day's small picture. and was emerald

Dove gray wolfe was the dress material

Reading I'm Bed.
New York Post.


For many years. perhaps hundreds Of
years, cautious and conservative souls have
resisted the impulse which and again
must come TO every mortal. 10 read In bed.
Reading in bed was injurious both 20 the
eyes and TO the general health An axiom,
people said, both those who did and those
who did not indulge in the practice. Now
comes a Pennsylvania physician who main
tains that reading I'm recumbent position
is actually a benefit. not an injury. He rea-
sons IL out in technical terms. and also in
language which ordinary lay brother
may comprehend. Whenever possible he
says we bring gravity into play 20 relieve
congestion. especially that OF a passive
type. Prolonged eye work results IN con-
gestion OF the veins about the ewes and
when reading in a recumbent position IS
resorted TO, gravity aids in relieving this
congestion. Surely there Is some sense in
that. He hopes for a change in the general
sentiment. The possibilities which might
result from such a change appeal 10 the
imagination Think Of the self-improve-
ment rendered possible. Men and women
who are exhausted with the tolls OF the
days might then improve their minds BY
reading after retiring at night. one thinks
Of an intellectual revival. increased sales

physician and PHILOSOPHER.

Care of the Hair.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

New York Commercial Advertiser
Hair must be cultivated as a gardener
cultivates his roses. There must be per-
sistent cultivation, consuming at least a
half-hour's time daily. Brushing with a
clean hairbrush is point to be emphasized:
brushes need almost as much attention as
the hair, and should be washed twice a
week in water containing a few drops of
ammonia and rinsed in clear water. Wash
the brushes in a shallow basin. that the
backs may not be injured by the ammonia.
A shallow dish and a nail brush are a nee
essary part OF the psraphernalia when one
sets out TO cultivate the hair, and every
night 1T should be used; pour some Of the
hair tonic in the dish and with the nail
brush go over the whole scalp giving il a
thorough brushing. Use the tonic three
times a week. the other nights rub the head
with clear, cold water using the brush. The
tips Of the fingers can be used. and should
be occasionally, for applying the tonic to
the head, but a nail brush is more conven-

have his measure taken.
Some of the members of the Pen and
Pencil Club talk of again attempting to
place on the market syndicate letters
from Washington, suitable for simulta-
neOuS publication in a hundred colOred
journals of the country. The plan was
tried some years ago by the late Charles
A. Johnston, J. f. Bruce, c. S. Morris,
and other of the earlier literary lights
here. but the success-if success it could
be Called-was My temporary. Later
other bureaus came into existence, one
headed by w T. Menard. Papers would
accept the matter and its desirability was
conceded, but few were willing to pay
a pittance and many would not invest
the price of postage. Caucasian journals
pay from S. to So per. column for
copy of less value and which please a
much smaller constituency. We know
all the difficulties that hedge about Negro
journalism, but it is a surprise that such
a small per cent of papers are able to
realize the Importance of general news
furnished from a common center, writ
ten by hands far more experienced than
they can supply at home. A bureau with
access to a liberal news budget could
supply news that would interest every
body, and get up editorials, special ar
ticles of any length and upon any subject
at short notice. If hundred of the lead
