SARAH oGDEN's COTTAGE
The Venerable Structure Moved for the
Fourth THINE Way Out 10 Mt. PIeasant.

Fourth Time Way Out to Mt. Pleasant.
Many of our readers remember the cottage
of the celebrated Sarah Ogden which formerly
stood where Secretary Tracy's mansion did pre-
yious to the calamity that robbed him of his
wife and daughter. Sarah Ogden was a we'll
known character of the District previous to
and during the war, and her cottage stood just
in the centre of the square above indicated.
Mrs Ogden owned the whole place, and was
reputed to be of immense wealth. She was
woman of many peculiarties. The cottage in
those days was regarded as one of the sights of
the city. 1t was constructed in half Gothic
style of architecture, while Virginia creepers
and clinging ivy gave it a decidedly romantic
appearance.
When the march of improvement commenced,
Mrs, Ogden having died and the property go
ing to her heirs, the cottage was raised on jacks
and moved out on Sixteenth, near street, where
a descendant made his home Aftera few years
the building up of that street again encroached,
and again the cottage was wheeled further
up toward Boundary street Later twas again
wheeled over to Boundary street and set down
on lot No. 1853 of that street. This made the
third time the structure had been moved and
to cap the climax recently the structure has
again been mounted on wheels and pulled up
over the steep incline of Thirteenth street ex-
tended, past the home of Mrs. Logan, the resi-
dence of DR.. Hammond, and at last placed on
a foundation, facing the road that runs from
Fourteenth to Seventh street, commencing at
Mount Pleasant There it rests to-day, a re-
minder to old citizens of the times of Sarah

How to Hypnotize Ones Self

From the PlttsDurg Dlsphtch.
1t is not difficult thing for some people to
hypnotic themselves; that is, to a certain de-
gree. They assume an easy position, sitting up
or half reclining, and breathe deeply and evenly
and at the same time rapidly, Very soon sleep
ensues. And after retiring, if troubled with
wakefulness, it can generally be quickly over
come by this simple procedure. Another way
is to take an easy position and steadfastly gaze
at a small shining object placed about two feet
from the eyes and little above their level,
Sleep will often ensue within five minutes
