'I would giys the world, u the world " as
mine" 70 sleep that sweet sleep again.
Tne Ancients fully Understood the absolute
necessity for sleep, Those upon whom they
wished 10 innlct the seyercat penalty were tor
tured out Of nfs by not allowing them TO sleep.
Soldiers were stationed In their cells, with In
structions 70 keep them awake. when the poor
victims were just about 10 tan asleep they were
compelled 10 walk their cells, and when the eyes
dropped aud the limbs refused 10 move they
were pricked with some instrument and thus
kept from sleeping until theJ fell dead from o.
haustion-or became rsving maniaos. with IN.
named eysbsils prosruding half ont Of their
socksts-a condition mat soon ended In death.
The most nutritious and tue most tempting
food was given thsm, 10 orier TO prolong their
torturea Of wakefuiness. hut few ever re-
msincd awake over forty-eight hours before
they begged the guard TO kin them, and the,
lives when they found that begging and brioinf
were OF no avail. ~. ...-
