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.
