Ordinarily we do not sleep by acci dent or haphazard. We simply resolve to sleep, and self suggestion plays a great part In the production of sleep. We go through a variety of actions, al suggestive of a change from our normal waking condition. We un dress; we place ourselves in a com fortable position; we close our eyes; we believe and expect we are going to sleep, and the result is-sleep. One of the great preventives of sleep Is the fear of not sleeping. but a writer in Harper's Bazar says that once this fear Is broken down we sleep anyhow. The insomniac worries about his in soania. and this very worry deepens the mischief; hence the sufferer should suggest to himself again and again. "If I sleep. A1l; If I don't sleep. I wi at least gain rest by keeping my mind calm and my body relaxed." In a word. our chances of getting dseep increase If we assume the ex ftenal plysical attitude which core speeds to sleep if we relax every maele and- let It stay relaxed, If we breathe ightly and regularly, If we ca up.the Imagination of a person and talk and think sleep to ourselves, repeating silently and In a quet dreamsy fashion such a formul "There is no reaon why I should not sleep., hrfr can sep Therefore I will sleep. My mind is at! peace. Sleep is coming. I am getting1 sleepy. I am about to sleep. I arm asleep." _______ HIS QUEST FOR A WiFE. .ohn Nmwomb Was a Close Observer and Was Hard to Suit. The sister of Simon Newcomb, the grest astronomer, tells in McClure's of their father's John Newcombs wan derings in search of a wife, whom he had decided to select in accordance with scientinic theories: a am -JOhn Newcomb stopped a am hose for his 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 maden. He always made him self 'handy' about the place, drawing up water with the great well sweep, briningin rewoo4-doing anything that he could do and still keep near the daughter. *1)isappointment met him at every door. At one house the ecoing was poor, at another the house was not, neatly kept. at a third there was scold-I tg or faultending. a want of har many-4nd In nlu the maidens a lack of desire for learning or edncation. One young woman little knew by what1 a narrow margin she missed her fate. -All was going smoothly till, when she was mling the dough for the baking pans, he noticed that a considerable portion of the dough was left In the wooden kneading trough. He asked he the reasen for this, and her reply was that she left It for the horse be case he was fond of It. She always: did this, she said; there was plenty. *Wn fthrift.' decided the young man, and he shouldered his bundle and walked on." T'old Wsho He Was. Dr. Beadon, a former rector in El tham, Kent. England. one Sunday1 preached from the text "Who art thou"' After reading It he made a ganse for the congregation to reflect pon the words, when a man in miii try dress who at that instant was maching very sedately up the middle4 aisle of the church, supposing It a estion addressed to him. replied. "I am, sir, an officer of the Sixteenthj regiment of foot on a recruiting party here, and, haing brought my wife and family with me, I am come to church because I wished to be ac quited with the neighboring clergy, and gentry." This so deranged the divine and astonished the congrega-. tion that the sermon was concluded with considerable difficulty. Ringing For Gofer. Anong the queer church customs in Engand is the one observed at New ark parish church, called ':!nging for gofer." This custom, which has lasted for over 300 years. arose through a wealthy merchant named Gofer losing melft one October night in the forest that then surroned Newark. He carried much money, and the forest was Infested with thieves. Suddenly he beard the sound of Newark bells and was guided safely homne by their music. To commemorate his escape Gofer left a goodly sum for Newark belt ringers on cndtion that they 'ang for Gotter" every year on Sun daaights In October and November. Patti at Fiftydtwo.

COMPRESSED ICE. Sink. In Water and Crumbles Into Powder When Warmed. All know that ordinary ice will float. This relative lightness of ice with re spect to water is due to expansiot. of N the water at the moment of freezing. If water is frozen under immense pressure it seems that this expansion is prei-ented and ice heavier than wa ter is produced. G. Tamnman has prepared this mnodl fication, which he calls Ice Il., as follows: ie compressed water to 3.000 kilograms (,G14 pounds) and cooled It in solid carbon dioxide snow and finally in liqnid air. Inder these con ditlons a colorless, transparent Ice is formed. It is much denser than ordi nary ice and heavier than water: con sequently it sinks when placed In wa: ter. Ice III. is very unstable, and on slight warming it swells out and breaks up Into a dense white powder. The volume of the resulting powder is apparently four to eight times that of the original ice. This powder form ed by the breaking up of the dense [ form Is nothing more than ordinary ice in the form of fine crystals, which. of course, on further warming melt at zero degrees centigrade. Experiments on Ice III. show that it is impossible to obtain it by separa tion from water at atmospheric pres sure and then suddenly cooling. There would never be a possibility of this unstable form of solid water being formed in nature.-New York Tribune.
