How We Go to Sleep.

Now physicians and Psychologists come
to the front with the astounding statement
that a man goes to sleep pieccmeal instead
of altogether and simultaneously, as it
were. That is, the senses do not lull
themselves unitedly and at once into a
state of slumber, but cease to receive i'm
pressions gradually, one after the other.
At first the sight ceases and next the
sense of taste loses its susceptibility to
outward impression.
Even then. the individual being almost in
n state of unconsciousness, three senses till
remain in a condition of activity-smell-
ing, hearing. and thought. Gradually the
sense of smelling goes. then hearing and
finally. with the lapse or thought. the en-
tire body becomes completely asleep.
The physioiogists have gone even further
than this. and they say that the senses sleep
with different degrees OF profoundness
The sense OF touch is the most easy to
arouse, next that of hearing, then sight
and taste and smelling last.
Sleep steals on the body gradually, GER
tain parts OF muscles beginning to siep
before others. Slunber commences at the
eXtremities, beginning with the feet and
legs That is why it is always necessary
to keep the feet warm.-New York World.

DUEL WILL NOT COME OFF
Principals in the Metropolitan Club
Difficulty Not Bloodthirsty.
Prince Iturbide Have Satisfactorily
Ad tusted the Matter.

There is little. If any. probability that
duel will follow a personal alteration be-
tween Prince Iturbide, of Mexico, aud
Robert Neville, the welI-known clubman
of this city.
Although blows were not exchanged, the
lie was given during a discussion bet
the gentlemen on the subject of hurseinan-
ship, in the Metropolitan Club. Subse-
quently II is said that Mr.. Neville chaI-
lenged the prince, and, according tn rumor.
the affair will be settled by the code some
time during the present day.
Those supposed to have accurate knowl-
edge of the prospective duel either are In
hiding or unconmunicative. Prominent
members of the Metropolitan Club do not
believe that Mr.. Neville has issued a chal-
lenge assigning as q reason the dra site
anti-dueliing laws. The story, they say,
might be entertained If Prince Iturbid
were credited as being the challenger. His
seconds would doubtless be attaches of the
Mexican Legation, and all the parties on
that side of the controversy would in no.
wise be amenable to the laws.
DuellIDg, the sending, carrying or ac-
ceptance OF a challenge, constitutes a fel-
ony under the District code, punisha BILE
only by imprisonment in the penitentiary.
Parties leaving the District for the pur-
pose of fighting duel also commit fel-
ony.
In the event'of a fatal termination the
spectators, surgeons and seconds are made
equally guilty with the surviving partici-
pant of murder in the first degree. No
more stringent la ws against dueliing have
ever been framed than those on the Dis
trict statute books.
Mr.. Neville was at his club during the
morning, and this afternoon was out walk
ingg with Fred May
In response to an inquiry concerning
Forthcoming duel bet W cen himself and P rince
Iturbide. Mr.. Neville said the story OF the
alteration had been greatly exaggerated,
and the entire matter had been satisfactorily
adius ted.

Refuses to Impose Additional Penal
ties Upon Contractors.
Secretary Herbert has rejected the recon-
mendation of the board of bureau chiefs
that additional penalties be imposed on con-
tractors for the overweight of hulls OF
vessels and failure to deliver plans for
armor plate within the time specified in
the contract.
Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn disa-
greed with the bureau chiefs on these prop
ositions, and argued against them before
Secretary Herbert
He called the attention of the Secretary
to the fact that contractors at present had
three penalties-one for failure TO complete
a vessel in given time, another for the over
weight of engines and third for failure
to give required speed.
These were as much. he claimed. as they
could bear. II additional penalties, such
as proposed. were added it would prevent
many persons from bidding for naval
work. The Secretary agreed with Con-
structor HichbOrn and refused to approve
the additional penalties recommended.
