Getting Oneself to Sleep.

Many are the expcdients resorted to by
persons who are troubled with insomnia
TO coax reluctant slumber. Some OF these
expcdients are as primitive and simple AS
grandmother remedies for colds, fevers,
torpid liver and the like and they are
equally effective, AT u little dinner party
at an up town club not long ago the
subject Of sleeplessness thrust itself into
the general discussion, and various expert
ences We're narrated
Now let me tell my way OF getting to
sleep when feel nervous and wakeful, "
said woman who was born in New Eng
land and who takes pride in the fact that
she esnbodies family traditions nearly 200
years old. 1T is method that has pre-
vailed in our family for several genera
lions. OF course you will laugh at me,
but it is just this: Whenever you find
yourself getting more and more wakeful
after you have retired to bed just close
your eyes, conIure up pasture and begin
counting the sheep as they jump over a
stile. AT first you may not be able to see
the sheep very distinctly, but soon they
will pass before your Imagination like a
procession. You count them one by one,
and by and by you will see two jump over
the stile at the same time; next a whole
lot of them will go over in bunch, and
you will lose the count. Everything then
becomes vague, and for short time You
see an endless string Of sheep moving for
ward, growing more indistiuct with each
movement until you are sound asleep -

The curious things which occur in the
world on n given day would no doubt if
collected, excite the wonder OF the most
incrcdulous. Yet in II single Newspaper
there was recently found an account of u
woman who was guilty OF 50 infamous L.
proceeding as going to sleep at n shop
while the assistant was in the act Of show
ing her some dress stutfs, accompanying
the exhibition with the usual eloquence OF
these individuals.
The second related the acuteness of two
tramps who conceived the idea Of going
to fancy dress ball In their ordinary at
tire. AS may be imagined, they devoted
the best part of their time TO a serious in
road on the resources of the supper room,
much to the amusement of the whole
party, who naturally thought they were
guests who had been invited to the enter
tainment and who having made them
selves up with exceptional skill for their
assumed parts, were carrying out the idea
OF the characters they represented for the
purpose of the jest
The third story was that of an absent
minded young woman who was playing
with pair of scissors and proceeded to
trim of her eyebrows quite unconscious
OF what she was doing. -Pearson' 8 Weekly.

The New England Fair.

The New England agricultural society
will hold its thirty fifth annual fair and
exhibition at Rigby park, Portland, Aug.
-, %, "a, % and %.
This fair has stood at the head of agri-
cultural shows in New England for many
years. At the last exhibition there were
nearly 900 head Of neat stock, mbracing
all choice breeds and the best that can be
found IN New England. As to quality
the same can be said of the show OF
horses, sheep, swine and poultry.
The trotting for the present year prom
ises to be interesting and exciting. The
sum Of S15, 900 is offered in purses, insur-
ing the entry of the fastest horses, and
Rigby park has the best track in New
England for making fast time.
The entries in all departments warrant
the expectation and confidence that the
coming fair will be equal to any ever held
by the society in the great attraction
that have made former ones uniformly
highly successful.

WHAT MAKES A GENTLEMAN.
The Young Man Should be Guided by
His Own Best Instincts.

"Common-sense rules in dress and man
ners, the same as in any phase OF our
lives, and this our young men should
learn and understand" writes Edward
Box OF "What Makes Gentleman, In
Ladies' Home journal.
"a mans manners are not exterior;
they emanate from within, from himself.
Experience and observation are the only
teachers he can seek and use. Etiquette
books are useless to him young mans

On Board the Associated Press Dis.
patch Boat Dauntless, st. Thomas,
Danish West Indies, May 14.-The
forts of San Juan de Porto Rico have
been bombarded by portion of the
fleet under command Of Rear Admiral
Sampson.
The remarkable feature Of the bonn.
bardment was the bad craftsmanship
Of the Spanish gunners. Hardly shot
from the forts struck the ships. while
the forts were hit repeatedly. Most Of
the Spanish projectiles fell very wide,
and at the close of the engagement the
fortitications had very dilapidated
| appearance, but the guns were as active
as ever.
The United States monitor Terror
had magnificent half hours duel
with the forts. The batteries bravely
threw shot and shell about her until
she seemed to occupy the center Of a
great geyser basin. The Spanish gun.
ners were crazed with excitement, and
some times dropped their shells mile
away from the Terror.
The latter fired one shot to the fort:
three, and when the monitor retired
she did SO slowly, contemptuously, still
firing at the Spanish forts. The Span
iards continued to fire on her until she
was miles out of range.
After the engagement, the Dauntles,
steamed among the fleet whose crew.
We're cleaning the decks and polishing
the guns.
The American sailors seemed to bt
not at all excited and were going about
their work as if nothing extraordinary
had happened.
The only marks on the Iowa were
dent on her exhaust pipe and sligh
injury to the railing Of her bridge. Tn
New York had several small holes il
one of her ventilators.
Each vessel in action carried tw,
10 ge American flags.
Only one vessel is known to be in tn
harbor of San Juan de Porto Rico, AM
that craft is q small French steame
which hurried away affrighted afte
the warships had departed.
