How to Prevent sIeepwalking.

A device to prevent sleepwalking is
said to be to lay upon the floor, by the
side of the somnambulist's bed, sheet
of iron, zinc or other metal wide enough
to insure that he will step upon 1t.
When the sleepwalking fit comes upon
him, his foot touches the cold surface
of the metal, and he instinctively draws
the leg into the bed again. After two
or three attempts the somnambulist
gives ii up and settles down in bed.

New York Evening sun.
Breakfast over. the morning after her ar
rival at an up-the-State household, WISH
tor repaired with the family 10 the library
for prayers. The head OF the house first
read a short Scriptural selection; then he
knelt and began 10 pray. At his very first
words his wife rose and tiptoed from the
room. The visitor could plainly hear her
giving the servants orders in the dining
room The wife next stepped to the tele-
phone. Ringing UP the butcher, baker and
candlestick-maker, she proceeded 10 order
her marketing and execute various other
housewifely commissions over the wire.
Timing herself with remarkable accuracy,
she returned 10 the library Just in time for
the amen of her husbands prayer The
performance was repeated every morning;
as soon as the prayer was under way, the
wife left the room and went about her
domestic duties. always getting in again
at the death, however. In a conversation
with the visitor the wife said that busy
woman as she was, she could not afford 20
waste all that time at the beginning Of the
day sitting through her husbands prayer
which was always long and generally the
same prayer. TX was regular understand
ing between them that while he was pray
ing she should retire ai.d attend 10 her
household duties. There is Scriptural pre-
cedent for it, said the wife-'Mary and
Martha, you know.

men, The knightly Dyer. all OF whose
known verses are strangely religious, would
not fall into an error SO out OF keeping
for the spiritually-minded Byrd. all his
known works refute the thought. Ills
mon Nobis Domino and his contributions
to the Virginia. could not be the products
Of mind capable OF literary piracy.
Complicated as the situation Is. IL be-
comes still more so when one turns To
Southwell and studies his Content and
Rich" in which the thought Is found
again, IN varied forms, but most strikingiy
In the seventh stanza, OF which the last
two lines are:
My mind TO me an empire is
While grace affordeth health"
In the third stanza II is found again,
with slight variation:
MY conscience Is my crown,
Contented thoughts my rest;
My heart is happy In itself.
Ny bliss Is in my breast"
Southwell was martyred under the anti
Jesuit laws of England IN 1895 after spend
Ing three years in prison and suffering ex-
cruciating torture. The poem referred 10
was probably written prior TO his incarcera-
ton, but those which he produced during
the years of imprisonment breathe largely
the same spirit and often approach Con
tent and Rich I'm phraseology.
In tracing these verses TO their genesis
IL is necessary to bear in mind two things.
first, that these three men were learned
men in the classical learning of the day.
ard second. that all were deeply religious.
None of them In all probability claimed
originality to the central thought That.
indeed, is as old as philosophy and has
been expressed thousands OF times. 1t is
identical in Christ's 1.-THE kingdom of
heaven is within you and in the Mems
regnum bona possidet" of Seneca "a good
mind possesses a kingdom.) Confucius i'm
pressed it repeatedly and Ii is found in
scribed on the walls of ancient Egypt and
written in the sacred books of India So
after all 1t seems a most natural thing that
in the Sordid, grasping and vicious age in
which they lived three men OF great
spiritual discernment should seize a great
central truth and present il in almost
identical form as lesson to the ages.
To show again that these great minds
indeed followed the same channel the fol-
lowing verse from SouthwelPs "A Sinner
Complaint" is quoted. 1t is almost identi-
cal with a thought and expression in Mas
ter Dier's Fancie:"
Yet Gods L must remain
BY death, by wrong, by shame
/ cannot set at naught
Whom L have held so dear;
i cannot make Him seem afar
That is indeed so near"
