EN1 ANGLED IN KITE STR Nc
Peculiar Accident Which Resulted In
the Drowning Of Unfortunate
Sea Gull.

Two sailors while rowing a small
boat from an anchored schooner to a
Stapleton, Staten island, dock, the
other day picked up a large sea gull
which was approaching the
boat, with wings outspread, floating
on the water, quite dead, says the
New York Press. The men we're
puzzled to account for the progress
it made through the water, as it
went faster than their boat but as il
came near it was found that, wound
securely round the body and under
the wings was a string, which they
discovered was attached to a large
paper kite then flying above them at
a considerable height. The kite had
furnished the propelling power. The
bird had evidently, while flying
about the city docks, got entangled
in the string Of a boys kite, had
been unable to eItricats itself, and
while on its way 10 the sea had been
drowned in its efforts TO obtain free
dom.

HABIT OF READING IN BED

One Writer, But only Under
Certain Conditions.

Reading in bed, ike most Injuries,
oan be oycrdone, in fact there seems
TO be only one excuse for this fas-
cinsting way Of ending the day. Ger
tain people find that thor worries
accumulate in their brains after bed
time; their nerves are at high ten
sion and their minds are actively
ut work trying TO solve problems that
should be left behind in the city,
says a writer in The Family Doctor.
Going 10 bel with the brain in
such a state means that with nothing
to distract the thoughts, hearing
nothing and seeing nothing in the
darkness, imag nation has full sway
and hours Of w~akefulness may be the
result. Such a man, we think. will
find half an hours reading in bed
q great help.
With careful attention paid to the
quality and position OF the light so
that without pickering Il shines over
the shoulder and directly on to the
page the much maligned habit Of
reading in bed has sometimes u very
beneficial effect on a tired and over
wakeful brain.
