HOW TO INDUCE SLEEP.
College Presidents Plan For Over
coming Insomnia.

Assume AN easy position, with the
hands resting over the abdomen, Presi'
dent Hyde of Bowdoin suggests In The
Outlook, discussing the matter of sleep
Take a long, slow, but easy and natural
breath,in such q way as gradually and
gently to. .lift,the.hands outward oy the
actione OF the abdomen. at the same
time slowly and gradually open the
eyes SO that sat the end OF the inspira-
sion they are.wi1e open and directed
upward. Letthe breath out easily and
naturally, 2etting the hands fall inward
as the, outward pressure of the abdo-
men is withdrawn. At the same time
let. the; eyes drop and the eyelids natu-
rally sfa1f by their own weight so that
they are closedoat the end of the expi-
ration. Do all this quietly and natu-
rally. Do not make too hard work of 1t.
Repeat the inspiration and expira-
ton, with opening and lifting. dropping
and closing Of the eyes. ten times. Then
take ten breaths In the same way, al
lowing the eyes to remain closed. Al
ternate ten breaths with the opening
and closing Of the eyes. When the eye
lids begin to feel heavy and you feel
tired and sleepy, as you will very soon,
go through the motions more and more
easily and lazily until you merely will
the motions without making any effort.
or hardly any effort, to execute them.
At this stage, or more likely I'm one Of
the intervals of breathing without any
motion Of the eyes, you will fall asleep.
Nervous persons will have some diff
Guilty at first In the gradual opening
and closing of the eyes. They will tend
to fly open and then snap together; but,
as putting salt on doves tail Is sure
rule for catching the dove, so this grad
ual and easy opening and closing OF
the eyes in rhythm, with quiet, natural
breathing, once secured, are almost
equivalent to dropping off 10 sleep.
This rule induces the respiration that Is
Characteristic of normal sleep. 1t tires
the set of muscles, the firing of which
is one of the favorite devices for pro-
ducing hypnosis. 1t produces and calls
attention to certain sensations In the
eyes and eyelids which are the normal
precursors OF sleep. Finally persons
who have had difficulty in going TO
sleep report that this method puts them
to sleep and puts them back again
when they wake up too soon.

How to Remove a Tight Ring.

To remove tight ring take needle,
fat In the eye, and thread it with
strong but not too coarse thread. Then
very carefully pass the head of the
needle under the ring In the direction
of the wrist. By soaping the needle
beforehand you facilitate matters.
Having done this. you pull down few
inches of the thread and withdraw the
empty needle. Then wrap the long end
of the thread round the finger toward
the nail and take the short end and
unwind 1t. The thread, pressing
against the ring, gradually works it Off,
no matter how tight it may be.
