He takes his text from the Bible, naming

For half an hour or more he breaches an
excellent sermon, using strictly gramati-

sermon he sings hymn to an old air,
but the words of it entirely new and of
his own composition; then comes q
prayer and he dismisses the congrega-

Sleep.

Whatever feats of endurance meu
may accomplish they cannot live long
without sleeping. The victim Of the
Chinese waking torture seldom sur
wives more than ten days. Those
condemned to die by the waking tor
tore. which is infinitely worse than
the death suffered by Kemmler, are
given all they wish to eat and drink,
but whenever they close their eyes are
jobbed with spears and sharp sticks
until they awaken. There is no tor
ture more horrible. Men sleep under
every condition of bodily and mental
suffering. Those condemned to die
even though they fear their fate, gen
orally sleep the night before execution.
Soldiers have been known to sleep
when on long and wearisome march
while walking in the ranks, or lying
on a bed Of stones, or in the mud and
water. No one knows just what sleep
is. The prevailing theory as to its
nature is that of the Psychologist
Preyer, who holds that refuse matter
accumulates in the nervous centres
in such quantity as to bring about
insensibiity in sleep, which continues
until the brain has been relieved Of
this waste matter by its absorption
into the circulation.-!S Louis Repub-
