M 113 [ml Some Advice About How to Woo “Na- ture’s Sweet Restorer.” ln fighting; sleeplessness I have found nothing so helpful as a simple pro. cedure based on the conditions which recent psychological experiment has proved to be fundamental to sleep. These are: Mental and muscular relaxation. 11m. itation of voluntary movement and monotony of sensation. To obtain these the next time you find yourself wakeful select on the wall of your room some ornament or spot which. by reason of a ray of light from the moon or street lamp. seems to stand out clearly from its surround- ings. Having selected this spot. as- sume a comfortable position in bed, taking care that you lie in such a way that you can see the spot on the wall without straining any part of your Next. remaining perfectly motionless and thinking of nothing but the spot on the wall. gaze at it through half closed lids in such a way that it seems remote and indistinct. Be sure not to try to get a full view of it. That would mean tension. not relaxation. and would defeat your pur- pose. Your gaze at the spot. while steady. must be without any straining of the attention. Soon. if you have continued to lie perfectly quiet and to think of nothing but the spot on the wall. you will find your eyelids grow heavy and close com- pletely. Open them half way. as be- fore, and resume the process of gazing. They will again grow heavy and close, when you must. if you can. open them once more. Before long you will find it impossible to open them. for you will be sound asleep. Even if your room be in total dark- ness you can still make use of this sleep bringing method by calling up before your mind's eye some imaginary object and gazing at it between half closed lids exactly as though it were really before you. Remember, how- ever. that you must lie perfectly still, moving neither your hands nor your legs. Try this device the next time you are troubled by wakefulness. From per- sonal experience I am satisfied that, if you follow it faithfully in its details. you will find that it works like a charmâ€"H. Addington Bruce in Kan- sas City Times. ‘ Big Hats In Colonial Days. The question of high hats at public places was of some moment, even in colonial days. In 1769 the church at Andover. Mass. put it to vote wheth- er “the parish disapprove of the fe- male sex sitting with their hats on in the meeting house in time of divine service as being indecent." In the town of Abington in 1775 it was voted that it was “an indecent way with the feminine sex to sit with their hats and bonnets on in worshiping God." Still another town voted that it 'as the “town‘s mind" that the women should take their bnnnets off in meeting and hang them on the pegs. An Egg Trick. Hold a raw egg on end and spin it on a plate or other smooth surface. Quickly place the hand upon it for an instant. stopping the motion momen- tarily. When the hand is removed the egg will resume its spinning. This is because the liquid contents of the shell crmtinued to whirl rapidly when your [land Stopped the shell. and if it is quickly released the whirling contents will again set the shell to spinning.

If you and Gwendolin get married it’s her and her mother’s do- ings, and I don’t want to be brought into it. I’m tired of being held respon- sible for every kind of trouble that comes up in this family." The Roads of Norway. A curious feature to travelers on the highroads of Norway is the great num- ber of gatesâ€"upward of 10,000 in the whole countryâ€"which have to be open- ed. These gates. which either mark the boundaries of the farms or sepa- rate the home fields from the waste lands, constitute a considerable incon- venience and delay to the traveler, who has to stop his vehicle and get down to open them. â€"Jndge.

Q ‘n.‘v. FREAK OF THE “DE Curous Phenomenon That Occurs In the River Trent. FURIOUS RUSH OF THE AEGIR. Like a Monster Tidal Wave the Water From the Sea Sweeps Up the Stream With an Angry Bear, Flinging Its Foam High Into the Air. “Ware aegir! Ware aegir!” The river Trent has been flowing out to the sea for hours. leaving long stretches of brown mud glittering in the light of the setting sun. It is a calm summer evening. and We sit wait- ing and listening on one of the old wharves of Gainsborough. Lincoln- shire. The cry is taken up 'by every boatman, who shouts it again upstream â€"a strange, eerie warning. Several small boats are now pushing on? into midstream to avoid the mass of churning water which breaks on the foreshore. A group of children add to the tumult with a shrill cry of "Wild aegir! Wild aegir!" which they con. sider a much better rendering than “Ware aegirl" By craning forward we can see it now. rounding a bend of the river by the shipyard. The first wave is big and smOOth. stretching right across the river. .with a swirl uf angry water at each side; next follow five or six big rollers. which roar and foam almg‘. leaving masses of broken water in their wake. These are called the "whelps." l The distant swish has increased to a ‘ roar now and a feeling of intense ex. citement gr: ps us as we see a small 1 boat rise Up on the first wave and dis- appear for a moment in the hollow. Up again she rises. tight into the froth . of the “whelps.” Another moment and she is through into calmer water. Presently we shall see the force of these “whelps” when they reach those big, unwieldy. square nosed barges-â€" which. by the way. are called “keels.” There is one such swinging at anchor in midstream just opposite to us. For the last half hour the old keelman has been lolling about the deck smoking his clay and looking idly at the water. Now he is alert all at once, and, knocking the ashes out of his pipe. he gives a turn at the windJass to tighten the anchor chain. After a glance along the deck to see that all is secure. he looks back up the river. He is cal- culating where the aegir will carry him to. There is anothexj barge higher up the river, and as yet nobody has stirred on board. The old man has noticed it, for he shouts, “Ware aegir, Stoney, my lad!” and a young fellow jumps up the hatch and runs to the tiller. See! The billow dashes like :1 monster tidal wave against :1 wharf and splash- es higjh up into the air with :1 mar and smother of white foam. Now it has reached the "keel.“ \Vith :1 groan and rattle of chain she rises to the wave and is carrivd along with it. but not very far, for the anchor holds fast and She swings slowly round. The heel is broadside on now. and the creamy “whelps” dash right over her deck as she rolls in the trough of waves. but as quickly as it takes to tell she swings stem on to the current, which is now rushing upstream with tremendous force. and will continue to do so for two hours or more until high water. when the water lazily returns toward the sea. The aegix‘s are not. all as big as this one; some are a mere swell about a foot high. The best time to see them is in the spring and autumn, when the equinoctial tides are big on the coast. Just below Gainsborough the aegir is seen at its best, as it rushes along some of the longest reaches of the Trent. This curious tidal phenomenon only occurs on one or two other rivers in Great Britain. the Severn being one of them. Where it is known as the “bore.” Those Who have seen it. however, say that it does not equal the aegir in any way.-Wide World Magazine. How Railroads Create Wealth. Our marvelous crops would count for nothing if forced to lie in the fields where they grow, or driven -to seek such markets only as the farmer‘s team could reach. The cotton crop. which brings to our shores annually nearly half a billion dollars of foreign gold. would be but a fruitless burden on southern winds if there were no railways to carry it to the seaboard. We take from our mines and forests and factories twenty billions of dol- lars each year. but without means of transportation these costly products would beworthless junkâ€"Robert Ma- ther in Leslie‘s.
