Reading in bed is seriously advised, so the news-papers say, by a physician ng conducive to "repair i:i:d resting," "relieving congestion." "emptying the v- ins overfilled by prolonged c-yework," civ. It is plain that placing the head back In a horizontal position so absolutely meets the whole problem cf a relief of congestion by gravity and it is such a very important problem that it seeing strange that people with weak eyes dj not habitually practice reading in a recumbent position perfectly comforta ble. Such advice, carried out with ab solute care as to light and the position of the book, would in the case of a taousand busy people add largely to the number of hours which reading could he indulged in without detriment to the eyes or general health. Certainly the one who gives this strange and pernicious advice could rover have tried the plan. Some years ego there was described a patented de- vieo for suspending the book over the i torizcntally placed bead of a sick per son whereby reading would be possible without holding the book in the hands. Even then one wonders how the light could be made to fall properly on the rage. Without a method of the kind rot even a well person could hold a took live minutes above the eyes. Ltadit'g in bed has ruined thousands of good eyes. Unless one sits up in bod as il' in a chair it is impossible to hold ihe book in such a position that the arms are not quickly tired and so that the lisht falls on it properly.

"It is not. such au uncommon thing." said a physical u, "to hnd a person j whose pulse beats can be plainly seen, and yet I si.ppose there are but few outside of th profession who realize the fact. In nirst persons the beat of the pu! ;e ;.-:! not be perceived, but the mere fat" that the beating is per ceptible docs not mean that the pulse is otLer t'un normal. I have come ncicss a i;:.L:;ber of cases where the i throbbing of th wrist could be plainly vn, and yet the persons rarely gave evidence of abnormality in tempera ture. They were rarely feverish and vTe in pjod physical condition gen erally. Pulses of this kind, from this i View. hich is based upon actual ob- j ser various 01 cases, uo not luuicate tinything more than an abnormal phys ical condition in the formation of the VrTist vei.is. "I have met with one case which was possibly a little extraordinary in that it was plainer and much more dis tinct than any I had ever seen before. It co'ild niiuout be beard. The artery would rise t; a point aluiost as large as the ball of the little finger of a child and would change from the white of the skin to a blood purple with each beat of the pulse. I found it easy to count the pulse beats without touching the patient's wrist. I ecu Id see plainly enough to keep the record, and in order not to err in my calculation I tested it in several ways and found it was cor rect and that there was no mistake in tny counting with the naked eye."

Mr. Wu, the Chinese minister at Washington, was not surprised to hear of the appointment of a successor to himself, as he has been expecting an announcement of this character for some time. He had received notice that his services would be required in another capacity, and for this reason has been prepared to hear of the nam ing of his successor at any time.

In the peace congress at The Hague Lord Tauucefote attracted the atten tion of the delegates by taking notes with a fountain pen the handle of which was formed by the shell of a dumdum bullet.' ' One day the represent ative of a foreign power, excited by the heat of the discussion in the inter ests of eternal peace, said to him sharply: "My lord, it isn't right for you to use that murderous shell in this congress. The instruments used by persons are almost emblematic. They can become a part of themselves, an expression of their ideas and of their personality." Lord Pauneefote smiled, but said nothing. The following day his critic, wanting quill, and after the borrower had fin- ishod said: sous are almost emblematic. They can Not Quite Complimentary.

"Maybe they do," assented the nurse. unable to forbear a smile, But the smile was lost upon Bertie.

SALISBURY RESIGNS; BALF0MCGESS05 Change In the Premiership of Great Britain. HICKS-BEACH ALSO RETIRES. , ; Reason of Lord Salisbury's Retirement! Is Generally Regarded as Simply a Desires for a Quiet Life Cther Cabi net Charges Foreshadowed. London. July 14. The marquis ol Salisbury has resigned the premier- ship of Great Britain and Rt. Hoc. A. J. Balfour, the first lord cf the ; treasury and government Lader in th-3 house of commons, has been appointed to succeed him. The marquis of Salisbury tendered his resignation at an audience which he had with King Edward last b ti- , day.' Saturday Mr. Balfour visited tho king and accepted the premiership. AT.THUB J. BAt?CUIt Perhaps never has a change of pre-, miership been affected with eo littlo dislocation to business, cither public or private, as accompanied the trans-' fer of the seals of orlice frcm Lord Salisbury to A. J. Eaifour. The oc-, currence had no eSect whatever on the stock exchange. The orly other change in the cabinet thus far an nounced is the chancellorship cf the exchequer. Sir Michael Ilicks-Bacn, who resigned today, though others are foreshadowed. i Mr. Eaifour, in addressing the first meeting of his followers at the foreign ofSce this afternoon, informed them that he ccuM not count on the ccntin- ued assistance ot Sir Michael Hicks-, Eeach, hut he could cn the latter s good wishes. j The public showed little interest in ' the party meeting, which was sum- j ironed for noon. The tow premier, ! when he entered the conference ro ) j of the foreign office, accompanied by j the Duke of Devonshire, Sir Michael i Hicks-Beach, Lord Londonderry and others, received quite an ovatior When Mr. Balfour rcse to address th.--meeting all again stood up and cheered the new chief. Mr. Balfour referred to the loss cf the services of the chief who, for neaily 50 years, had been en gaged in active political life. No on.?, he said, w ould grudge him his well earned repose, though his lets was irreparable. "I do not flatter myself," proceeded e premier, that the gap he has leCt the can be filled. But the place he has left must be occupied, and it is be cause the king has desired me to dj my best to take that position that I have asked you to meet me today. I have accepted a great task and u heavy responsibility, ce.tainly from no over-weaing belief in my own ca- pacity, but because I am sure, or at least have every reason to believe, that In attempting to carrj' on this work I will have the most important qualification a leader can have, name ly, the regard and confidence of those with whom he works." As to Lord Salisbury's withdraws.!, ' the main reason is considered by pra tically all the best informed persons to have been simply a desire for a quiet life on the part of a man ad vanced in years, whose activities have been unusual, and whose scientific tastes predispose him to study and se elusion. That the retiring premier s health has failed, to some extent, is undeniable, but this perhaps is to be expected in a rnan of his years, and j the close of the war in South Mrica and the return of the commanding gen eral here is considered to be an appro priate time for his withdrawal. Several other changes are likely to occur including the retirement of Earl Oadogan, lord lieutenant ot Ireland, and the elevation of George Wyndhani, the chief secretary for Ireland, to a seat in the cabinet. Speculation is already rife as to who will be Sir Michael Hicks-Beach's suc cessor. The name of P. W. Hanbury, president of the board of agriculture, is frequently mentioned.
