# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Hedgehog

Edition of 1920. See also Hedgehog on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HEDGEHOG, a small insectivorous mammal of the Old World family Erinaceidæ, and especially of the genus Erinaceus, characterized by its coat of stiff spines. The family inhabit temperate Europe and Asia, but are not known on sea-girt islands. The best known of the score of species is the common hedgehog (E. europæus). It has a long nose, the face, sides and rump covered with strong, coarse, yellowish hair, the back with sharp, strong spines; and is about nine inches long plus a very short tail. Hedgehogs, as their name indicates, reside under hedges and in thickets, where they turn over the leaves and root in the mould for insects (especially beetles), snails, lizards, roots, fallen fruit, etc.; they are, indeed, omnivorous. The hedgehog defends itself against attack by rolling itself up, and thus exposing no part of its body that is not furnished with a defense of spines. It may be rendered domestic to a certain degree, and has been employed in Europe to destroy cockroaches, which it pursues with avidity. In the winter, in cold climates, the hedgehog wraps itself in a warm nest, composed of moss, dried hay and leaves, and remains torpid till the return of spring. The female
produces four or five young at a birth, which soon become covered with prickles. These animals are sometimes used as food, and are said to be very delicate. The long-eared hedgehog (E. auritas) of the East is smaller than the common, and is distinguished by the great size of its ears and shortness of tail. Fossil forms as far back as the Miocene differ little from existing spedes. No true hedgehogs exist in America; the animals often so called being the very different porcupines (q.v.).

He was graduated from Cornell University in 1878, and is author of the dramas ‘Love by Induction’ (1889); ‘The Silent Witness’ (1890); ‘Between Two Foes’ (1899); ‘The Vagabond’ (1893); ‘Jess of the Bar Z Ranch’ (1896); ‘Down the Santa Fé Trail’; and the novels ‘Thirteen Stories of the Far West’ (1887); ‘The Rancho of Heavenly Rest’ (1892); ‘The Investigators’; ‘Beacon Island’ (1907); and ‘Buena Ventura’ (1911).
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Hegira

Edition of 1920. See also Hijra (Islam) and Islamic calendar on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HEGIRA, hĕj'ĭ-ra, HEJRA, or HIJRA, an Arabic word meaning “going away,” commonly used to indicate Mohammed's flight from Mecca, in 622 A.D. In 639 Caliph Omar instituted a new Moslem calendar to begin with the first day of the first month of the year in which the flight took place. The Mohammedan year, as a lunar year, is shorter than ours by ten days, 21 hours and 14-2/5 seconds. A rough and ready method for finding the year in our calendar corresponding to a given year in the Mohammedan is to subtract from the latter 1/33 of itself and add 622 to the remainder. To find the precise year and day multiply the year of the Hegira by 970,224, strike off from the product six decimal figures and add 621.5774; this will give the year of the Christian era; and the day of the year is got by multiplying the decimal figures by 365.

He was educated at the cathedral school of Bremen and the University of Göttingen; in 1794 was appointed professor of philosophy and in 1801 professor of history at Göttingen. His chief works are ‘Ideen über Politik, den Verkehr und den Handel der vonehmsten Völker der alten Welt’ (1793-96, 4th ed. 1824-26); ‘Geschichte des Studiums der klassischen Litteratur seit dem Wiederaufleben der Wissenschaften’ (1797-1802); ‘Geschichte der Staaten des Alterthums’ (1799); ‘Geschichte des europäischen Staaten-systems und seiner Colonien’ (5th ed. 1830); ‘Versuch einer Entwickelung der Folgen der Kreuzzüge’ (1808) and ‘Vermischte historische Schriften’ (1803-88).
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Hedin, Sven Anders

Edition of 1920. See also Sven Hedin on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HEDIN, Sven Anders, svĭn än'dĕrz hĭ-dēn', Swedish geographer and explorer: b. Stockholm, 19 Feb. 1865; was educated at Stockholm, Upsala, Berlin and Halle, at the latter university receiving the degree of doctor of philosophy. In 1885 he began his first journey of exploration through Persia and Mesopotamia. In 1890 he went to Persia as a member of King Oscar's embassy to the Shah, and the next year journeyed through Khorassan and Turkestan. In 1893 he set out on a remarkable journey from the Russian frontier to Peking, through Tibet and the Lob-nor region. He arrived at his destination in 1897, having experienced four years of exciting and harrowing adventures. His second expedition to Central Asia began in 1899. In 1901, writing from Narkhlik, Dr. Hedin tells of finding the ruins of a beautiful Buddhist temple, some rare specimens of wood carving and 12 complete letters written in Chinese on paper and marvelously well preserved. He started from Chinese Turkestan in 1906 for the third journey of exploration in Tibet. During two years he covered some 4,000 miles, discovered the sources of the Brahmaputra and the Indus, several mountain ranges and Lake Chunitso. Early in the European War Dr. Hedin visited the German front, where he was granted special facilities for observation. The result was a book entitled ‘A People in Arms’ (Leipzig 1915), in which the author poured out a torrent of vitriolic abuse over Great Britain and of fulsome adulation for everything German. The book caused considerable amusement among the Allies, particularly the reference to the German Crown Prince, “tall, slim and royally straight, dressed in a dazzling white tunic and wearing the Iron Cross of the first and second class. . . . Would you like to know what the German Crown Prince eats for supper? Here is the menu. . . .” Dr. Hedin has made numerous valuable contributions to geographical literature. His works include ‘A Journey through Persia and Mesopotamia’ (1887); ‘King Oscar's Embassy to the Shah of Persia’ (1891); ‘A Journey through Khorassan and Turkestan’ (1892); ‘Through Asia’ (2 vols., 1898); ‘Central Asia and Tibet’ (1903); ‘Adventures in Tibet’ (1904); a scientific treatise in German, ‘The Results to Geographic Science of my Travels in Central Asia’ (1900), and ‘The Scientific Results of a Journey in Central Asia 1893-1902’ (6 vols., 1904 et seq.).

HEGELER, Wilhelm, popular contemporary German novelist: b. Varel, Oldenburg, 25 Feb. 1870. He studied law at the universities of Munich, Geneva and Berlin, traveled extensively, and returned to Munich in 1895 to settle down to literary work. He moved to Berlin in 1897, to Weimar in 1906, where he has lived ever since, engaged in the production, at first, of naturalistic novels dealing with the life of the population along the river Rhine, later, of humorous satires. His stories were at first characterized by a rather sharp and painful naturalism, but later assumed a convincing and powerful realism. Their popularity in Germany is very great, and Hegeler's books have frequently appeared among the lists of best sellers for certain years (1905, for instance). His more important works include ‘Sonnige Tage’ (novel, Berlin 1898); ‘Ingenieur Horstmann’ (his best novel, Berlin 1900); ‘Das Ærgernis’ (his best satirical novel, Berlin 1907).

# The Eldritch Dark

1912.
Now as the twilight's doubtful interval Closes with night's accomplished certainty, A wizard wind goes crying eerily, And on the wold misshapen shadows crawl, Miming the trees, whose voices climb and fall, Imploring, in Sabbatic ecstacy, The sky where vapor-mounted phantoms flee From the scythed moon impendent over all.
Twin veils of covering cloud and silence, thrown Across the movement and the sound of things, Make blank the night, till in the broken west The moon's ensanguined blade awhile is shown.... The night grows whole again....The shadows rest, Gathered beneath a greater shadow's wings.

# The Elder Edda and the Younger Edda/Younger Edda/Tyr and Other Gods

26. "All the gods appear to me," said Gangler, "to have great power, and I am not at all surprised that ye are able to perform so many great achievements, since ye are so well acquainted with the attributes and functions of each god, and know what is befitting to ask from each, in order to succeed. But are there any more of them besides those you have already mentioned?"
"Ay," answered Har, "there is Tyr, who is the most daring and intrepid of all the gods. 'Tis he who dispenses valour in war, hence warriors do well to invoke him. It has become proverbial to say of a man who surpasses all others in valour that he is Tyr-strong, or valiant as Tyr. A man noted for his wisdom is also said to be 'wise as Tyr.' Let me give thee a proof of his intrepidity. When the Æsir were trying to persuade the wolf, Fenrir, to let himself be bound up with the chain, Gleipnir, he, fearing that they would never afterwards unloose him, only consented on the condition that while they were chaining him he should keep Tyr's right hand between his jaws. Tyr did not hesitate to put his hand in the monster's mouth, but when Fenrir perceived that the Æsir had no intention to unchain him, he bit the hand off at that point, which has ever since been called the wolf's joint. From that time Tyr has had but one hand. He is not regarded as a peacemaker among men."
27. "There is another god," continued Har, "named Bragi, who is celebrated for his wisdom, and more ​especially for his eloquence and correct forms of speech. He is not only eminently skilled in poetry, but the art itself is called from his name Bragr, which epithet is also applied to denote a distinguished poet or poetess. His wife is named Iduna. She keeps in a box the apples which the gods, when they feel old age approaching, have only to taste of to become young again. It is in this manner that they will be kept in renovated youth until Ragnarok."
"Methinks," interrupted Gangler, "the gods have committed a great treasure to the guardianship and good faith of Iduna."
"And hence it happened," replied Har, smiling, "that they once ran the greatest risk imaginable, as I shall have occasion to tell thee when thou hast heard the names of the other deities.
28. "One of them is Heimdall, called also the White God. He is the son of nine virgins, who were sisters, and is a very sacred and powerful deity. He also bears the appellation of the Gold-toothed, on account of his teeth being of pure gold, and also that of Hallinskithi. His horse is called Gulltopp, and he dwells in Himinbjorg at the end of Bifrost. He is the warder of the gods, and is therefore placed on the borders of heaven, to prevent the giants from forcing their way over the bridge. He requires less sleep than a bird, and sees by night, as well as by day, a hundred miles around him. So acute is his ear that no sound escapes him, for he can even hear the grass growing on the earth, and the wool on a sheep's back. He has a horn called the Gjallar-horn, ​which is heard throughout the universe. His sword is called Hofud (Head).
# The Elder Edda and the Younger Edda/Younger Edda/Wolves that Pursue the Sun and Moon

12. "But the sun," said Gangler, "speeds at such a rate as if she feared that some one was pursuing her for her destruction."
"And well she may," replied Har, "for he that seeks her is not far behind, and she has no way to escape than to run before him."
"But who is he," asked Gangler, "that causes her this anxiety?"
"There are two wolves," answered Har; "the one called Skoll pursues the sun, and it is he that she fears, for he shall one day overtake and devour her; the other, ​called Mali, the son of Hrodvitnir, runs before her, and as eagerly pursues the moon that will one day he caught by him."
"Whence come these wolves?" asked Gangler.
"A hag," replied liar, "dwells in a wood, to the eastward of Midgard, called Jarnvid, (the Iron Wood,) which is the abode of a race of witches called Jarnvidjur. This old hag is the mother of many gigantic sons, who are all of them shaped like wolves, two of whom are the wolves thou askest about. There is one of that race, who is said to be the most formidable of all, called Managarm: he will be filled with the life-blood of men who draw near their end, and will swallow up the moon, and stain the heavens and the earth with blood. Then shall the sun grow dim, and the winds howl tumultuously to and fro."
# The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 8/Writings: Prose And Poems/To My Own Soul

Hold yet a while, Strong Heart,
Not part a lifelong yoke
Though blighted looks the present, future gloom.
And age it seems since you and I began our
March up hill or down. Sailing smooth o'er
Seas that are so rare --
Thou nearer unto me, than oft - times I myself --
Proclaiming mental moves before they were!
Reflector true -- thy pulse so timed to mine,
Thou perfect note of thoughts, however fine --
Shall we now part, Recorder, say?
In thee is friendship, faith,
For thou didst warn when evil thoughts were brewing --
And though, alas, thy warning thrown away,
Went on the same as ever -- good and true.

# The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 8/Writings: Prose And Poems/No One To Blame

The sun goes down, its crimson rays
Light up the dying day;
A startled glance I throw behind
And count my triumph shame;
No one but me to blame.
Each day my life I make or mar,
Each deed begets its kind,
Good good, bad bad, the tide once set
No one can stop or stem;
No one but me to blame.
I am my own embodied past;
Therein the plan was made;
The will, the thought, to that conform,
To that the outer frame;
No one but me to blame.
Love comes reflected back as love,
Hate breeds more fierce hate,
They mete their measures, lay on me
Through life and death their claim;
No one but me to blame.
I cast off fear and vain remorse,
I feel my Karma's sway
I face the ghosts my deeds have raised --
Joy, sorrow, censure, fame;
No one but me to blame.
Good, bad, love, hate, and pleasure, pain
Forever linked go,
I dream of pleasure without pain,
It never, never came;
No one but me to blame.
I give up hate, I give up love,
My thirst for life is gone;
Eternal death is what I want,
Nirvanam goes life's flame;
No one is left to blame.
One only man, one only God, one ever perfect soul,
One only sage who ever scorned the dark and dubious ways,
One only man who dared think and dared show the goal --
That death is curse, and so is life, and best when stops to be.
Om Nama Bhagavate Sambuddhaya
Om, I salute the Lord, the awakened.

Shiva is dancing, lost in the ecstasy of Self, sounding his own cheeks.
His tabor is playing and the garland of skulls is swinging in rhythm.
The waters of the Ganga are roaring among his matted locks.
The great trident is vomiting fire, and the moon on his forehead is fiercely flaming.

Lo, the God is dancing -- shiva the all - destroyer and Lord of creation,

His flaming locks have filled the sky,
Seven worlds play the rhythm
As the trembling earth sways almost to dissolution,
Lo, the Great God Shiva is dancing.

He who is in you and outside you,
Who works through all hands,
Who walks on all feet,
Whose body are all ye,
Him worship, and break all other idols!
He who is at once the high and low,
The sinner and the saint,
Both God and worm,
Him worship -- visible, knowable, real, omnipresent,
Break all other idols!
In whom is neither past life
Nor future birth nor death,
In whom we always have been
And always shall be one,
Him worship. Break all other idols!
Ye fools! who neglect the living God,
And His infinite reflections with which the world is full.
While ye run after imaginary shadows,
That lead alone to fights and quarrels,
Him worship, the only visible!
Break all other idols!

If things go ill or well --
If joy rebounding spreads the face,
Or sea of sorrow swells --
A play -- we each have part,
Each one to weep or laugh as may;
Each one his dress to don --
Its scenes, alternative shine and rain.
Thou dream, O blessed dream!
Spread far and near thy veil of haze,
Tone down the lines so sharp,
Make smooth what roughness seems.
No magic but in thee!
Thy touch makes desert bloom to life.
Harsh thunder, sweetest song,
Fell death, the sweet release.

# The Cutters' Practical Guide (1898)/Part 1/Economy

ECONOMY
In order to make this work as complete as possible we have added three diagrams of lays to give cutters an idea of what we consider economical cutting. Economy does not necessarily consist of getting a suit out of the least possible quantity, but rather taking it out of the cloth to the best advantage, leaving inlays where required, and placing the patterns down so that the material is not biased in any way.
Dia. 168.
This represents a Boy's Knicker Suit 24 chest, cut out of 1⅛ yards, the facings are not large, but such is not generally of importance. The patterns in every case used for these diagrams are the Tailor and Cutter models.
This and the next diagram are taken from "Economy in Cutting" a work every cutter should posses; and as we have put it to an extended test in daily practice at the cutting board, we can speak somewhat authoritatively on it's merits, which we believe to be of the highest order, and is a work that should be in the hands of every progressive cutter.
Dia 169.
This lay represents a Lounge Suit, 28 breast, 24 long, 37 sideseam, and is taken out of 1¾ yards, 56 inch cloth. For smaller suits of the same type, the length required may be still further reduced by making the top and undersides of the trousers change, and putting seat pieces on, that is if the length of sleeves will admit of it, which they generally will in smaller sizes.
Dia. 170.
This lay represents a Lounge Jacket Suit, 32 breast, 26 long, 41 sidesarm, and is taken out of 2¼ yards, 56 inch material. It is also suitable for sizes between 28 and 32 breast. A saving may be affected by putting top welts or top bands on the trousers which could be got between the sleeves and the undersides of the trousers. It will be noticed that if a roll is required for the vest a small piece must be put on the forepart.
For larger sizes we must refer our readers to the work previously mentioned, and which may be obtained from the Talior and Cutter Office, price 7s. 6d. or post free 7s. 9d.
