position to handle city and town pro
perty, and from now on will be as

if offered. We ask that owners who

COAXING SLEEP.
Sirrply a Question of Will Power and
Self Suggestion.
Ordinarily we do nut sleep by acci
dent ur haphazard. We simply resolve
to sleep, and self suggest ion plays a
great part in the pivdiirliuu of sleep.
We go through a variety of aelions,
(ill suggestive of a hangc from our
uoniuil waking iiaulii ion. We un
dress; we place ourselves In a com
fortable position; we dose our eyes;
tie believe and expect we are going to
sleep, and the result Is -sleep.
One of (he great preventiv es ufuleep
is the fear of not sleeping, but a writer
lu Harper's ltazar says that once this
fear Is broken down we sleep anyhow.
The insomniac worries about his in
somnia, and this very worry deepens
the mischief; hence the sufferer should
suggest to himself again and again,
"If I sleep, well; if I don't sleep, I
will at least gain rest by keeping my
mind calm and my body relaxed."
In a word, our chances of getting
Bleep Increase if we assume the ex
ternal physical attitude which corre
sponds to sleep If we relax every
muscle and let It stay relaxed, if we
breathe lightly and regularly, if we
call up the Imagination of a Bleeping
person and talk and think sleep to
ourselves, repeating silently and In n
quiet, dreamy fashion such a formula
as this:
"Then Is no reason why I should
not sleep. Therefore I can sleep.
Therefore I will sleep. My mind Is at
peace. Sleep Is coming. I am getting
sleepy. I am about to sleep. 1 urn
asleep."
HIS QUEST FOR A WIFE.
John Newcomb Wai a Close Observer
and W. Hard to Suit.
The sister of Pinion Newcomb, the
great astronomer, tells In McClure's
of their father's John Neweomb's wan
derings in search of a wife, whom bo
had decided to select In accordance
with scientific theories:
"John Newcomb stopped at farm
houses for bis refreshment, and In
each house, if there was a daughter of
marriageable age, he tarried perhaps
a day or even longer to make a study
of the maiden. He always made him
self 'handy' about the place, drawing
up water with the great well sweep,
bringing In firewood doing anything
that ho could do and still keep near
the daughter
"Disappointment met him at every
door. At one house the cooking was
r, lit another the house was not
neatly kept, at a third there was scold
ing or fault finding, a want of har
mony and In all the maidens a lack
of desire for learning or education.
One young woman little knew by what
a narrow margin she missed her fate.
All whs going smoothly till, when she
was molding the dough for the baking
pans, ho noticed that a considerable
portion of the dough was left In the
wooden kneading trough, lie asked
her the reason for this, and her reply
was that she left It for the horse be
cause he was fond of It. She always
did this, she said; there was plenty.
'Want of thrift," decided the young
man, and he shouldered his bundle and
walked on."
Told Who He Was.
Dr. Headon, a former rector In F.l
thani, Kent, Kngliind, one Sunday
preached from the text "Who art
thou?" After reading it he made a
pause for the congregation to reflect
upon the words, when a man in mili
tary dress who at that Instant was
marching very sedately up the mlddlo
aisle of the church, supposing it a
question addressed to him, replied, "I
nm, sir, an olllcer of the Sixteenth
regiment of foot on a recruiting party
here, and, having brought my wife
nnd family with me, I am come to
church becauso I wished to be ac
quainted with the neighboring clergy
aud gentry." This so deranged the
divine and astonished the congrega
tion that tlx-? sermon was concluded
with considerable dilllciilty.

1800 and may be said to mark the real
beginning of modern water color paint
