MANNER OF GOING TO SLEEt
1t Is Gradual Process, Senses Sinking
OF One at Time Until All
Are Unconscious.

Did you ever think of the way In
which you fall asleep?
1t is gradual process, the senses
sinking off one at time until they
are all unconscious. The first to be
affected is the eyesight The eye.
lids culver and blink, and you say that
you are drowsy. After the sense OF
sight is fast asleep often you will con.
tinue to hear and feel for some time.
Taste follows sight to sleep, and then
come smell and hearing, and finally,
last of all, touch. Touch never sleeps
very hard unless you are worn out
with fatigue. Frequently, as you
know, If you SO much as lay your fin.
ger on friend who is asleep, up he
will jump, wide awake. The quickest
way Of arousing a sound sleeper is to
lay cool hand on his forehead.
With cats, however, it is different.
Sight, hearing, taste and touch may
all 60 to sleep and sleep very sound
ly, but the cats sense of smell never
sleeps. Some of you who have pet
cats Will find lots of fun in expert
menting with them. When puss is
fast asleep get a juicy bit Of meat or
mouse and very quietly place 1t
near her nose. Instantly her eyes will
pop open and she will be ready for
dinner.

Converts BattIeship Into House,

Mr.. Smelter Trust Stokes (the
name is coagulated under stress Of
space) is building a house in Connec-
ticut, and it is going to be real old
fashioned. Most of it was built from
our battleship Wellington, which Mr..
Stokes bought for $20O,6OO. Now he
has bought Suffolk manor house of
the Tudor period. Half of it is there
already, the other half will be there
In the spring. The combination
should be striking when Mr.. Smelter
Stokes has completed his freak house.
One of these days we may wake up to
lind Westminster Abbey missing. And
to rediscover it as the dining room
with the Hippodrome close at hand
as the drawing room-in the splendid
home of another Mr.. Trust Smelter-

church services because of the fear
that they would disgrace themselves
by going to sleep. This is his reply:
'Let them come here; they may go
to sleep II they want to. They will
not worry me atall; on the other hand,
sleepers often cause me pleasure. The
sleeping man can't find anything to
complain about in my sermon or write
Indignant letters to me afterward.
There are many reasons why men
go to sleep. Many have been hustling
during the week, and when they come
into warm church and restful pews
they can't avoid sleeping. Heavy air
and heavy sermons are also respon.
sible. The music is soothing, too. Let
the man fall asleep; the rest will do
him as much good as the sermon, per.
haps."

"Aha!" he says, "I'll sleuth some"
And he did. He hid in a doorway.
Soon he saw two of the men boost the
third over the front transom.
"Aha!" says he, "I'll pinch 'em.' y
But he didn't. The two fed, leaving
the third inside the store, making q
most careful inventory of the stock,

Come out'r there!" ordered McCar.

his hand to position at right angles
with his face, placed his thumb
against his nose, and wiggled his dex-

"Come in and get me, yer big stiff, "
he finally muttered.
"That I will, me bucko, and twill

ber's fingers continued to sway back
and forth.
Mccarthy got a box and tried to
climb over. He couldn't reach the
transom. The robber advised him
to get ladder. So Mccarthy got a
barrel and put his box on top of 1t.
Thus he managed to reach the tran

You're doing fine, you big stiff," he
remarked.

he tried to wriggle in, as the bur.

coming, or wait until l get some
grease and oil your sides."
Thus encouraged, Mccarthy came
through until he was amidship-and
then he stuck, for no human being
ever said Mccarthy was sylphlike.
The robber got busy. He collected

Come on; yer doin' f1ne," he

There was a supreme effort, and
with mighty "Oof!" Mccarthy wrig-

landed upon the little robber.

Her Personal Plate.

A young girl who has a great many
valuable small belongings and never
loses any of them, says that 1t is
solely because Of her plan of marking
everything distinctly with her full
name and town and country address.
For her parasols and umbrellas she
has set of small silver plates of OBJ
long shape and with screw equipped
ends, which are readily detached from
a handle and put upon another one.
Her golf sticks, tennis racquets, hand
luggage and the valuable collars which
her dogs wear are marked in the
same manner and on all of her toilet
articles she has plate markings which
cannot be obliterated or easily
wrenched off.
The first cost of these plates was
not very great, although all are OF
solid silver, and they were accumu-
lated SO gradually that the money was
not missed from her allowance.
