Classical Idea of He'll.

The Greek word hades as itappears in
the New Testament and the Hebrew
word sheol in the Old Testament are
used in the most general and literal
sense-that of denoting state of condi-
ton of the dead, including the grave as
the abiding place of the body, and the
world of spirits as the abode of the soul.
The Hebrew idea of it is very fully
given in job 2l-22. 1t may be interest
ing to those of our readers who have
been paying any particular attention to
the various opinions of hell, purgatory,
hades, etc., as they have appeared in the
department, to see the above compared
with the pagan notions from which the
Greek word hades has been derived.

A Word to the sleepless.

DIR. J. r. Huxley says: The way to
go to sleep Is, in brief, to curl under the
clothes like kitten, or put the head
under the wing like hen. This i'm
somDia seems to be now universal af-
Fiction. We live wrongly; sit up late
and overwork the brain, and then 90 to
bed in an excited condition. No one
seems TO have hit upon the natural rem
edy. / think have. People take choral
and the like at their peril, and the fatal
consequence not seldom ensues. 1t is
all wrong, for you cannot control the
dose required for the exact circumstsn-
ces. But try natures plan instead :
Lower the supply Of ofoxygen to the blood,
produce a little asphyxia, limit the
quantity Of air to the lungs, and heart
and circulation becoming quicker, the
brain loses its stimulant and sleep fol-
lows. When you find yourself "in" for
a sleepless night, cover your head with
the bed clothes and breathe and rebreath
only the respired air. Thus you reduce
the stimulating oxygen and fall asleep.
There is no danger. When asleep you
are sure to disturb the coverings and get
as much fresh air as you require, or,
when once drowsiness has been produc-
ed, it is easy to go on sleeping, though
the air be fresh. What do the cat and
dog when they prepare to sleep? They
turn around generally three times, and,
lastly, bury their noses in some hollow
in their hair, and off they go. They
are in no danger. although it might look
as If they were, from the closeness with
which they imbed their noses.
