THE INTERNAL REGIONS.
How They Are Depicted In Buddhism
and Is1amism.

How They Are Depicted In Buddhisn,
and Is1amism.
The internal regions of Buddhism
r horrible. They comprise a great
hell and 138 lesser hells. In these
hells, according to the sculptures of
the Buddhist temples, men are ground
to powder and their dust turned into
ants and fleas and spiders. They are
pestled in n mortar. The hungry eat
Fedhot iron balls. The thirsty drink
molten iron.
Islamism says Of the Internal re
gions: "They who believe not shall
have garments of fire fitted for them.
Boiling water shall be poured on their
heads and on their skins, and they
shall be beaten with maces of IRON"
In the scandinavian mythology, the
mythology of Odin and Thor, we are
told that Gin Nastrond there is a vast
and Gireful structure, with doors that
face the north. 1t is formed entirely
of the backs Of serpents, wattled to-
gether like wickerwork. But the ser
pents' heads are turned toward the In
side of the hall, and they continually
send forth floods Of venom, In which
wade all those who commit murder or
forswear themselves"
In the past Christian clergymen
loved to describe hell. The present
tendency, however, is to avoid discus
sion of this place-to dwell upon the
gentler and more lovely side Of Chris.

TELEPHONE HABITS.

Differences OF business Customs In
Various Communities.
In Ii Offices of the great telephone
companies statistics are kept from
which charts are plotted showing how
the telephone is used in the different
exchanges at different hours Of the
day. The convenient talking instru-
ment is very little employed In early
morning or late in the evening, but
during the working day the rise and
fall of the curves that represent the
fluctuations in the number of calls
makes an entertaining study.
Among many other facts these plot
ted curves reveal the great differences
that exist in the business customs of
American cities. A comparison, for
example, of the charts of the Broad
street exchange, New York, and the
main exchange, Chicago, on almost
any given date will prove, what is gen
orally known, perhaps, that Chicago
ans put in a longer II not more strenu-
Gus day than New Workers. The "traf-
fic curve" in the western metropolis
begins to rise about 8 o'clock and
reaches its forenoon maximum of calls
about o. The load" as 1t is designat-
ed by the telephone engineers, stays
heavy through the morning hours,
dropping at about 1 to the noon mini
mum, which is universal, and then
afternoon until 5, after which 1t falls
rather gradually till 8 o'clock.
A characteristic curve Of the great
downtown New York exchange, which
includes about all the Offices of the
Wall street district, reveals that bust
ness men in Gotham so to their Of
fees n full hour later than in Chicago.
The highest peak is reached at 10
O'Clock. h noon hour apparently be-
gins Il little earlier than in Chicago,
though the lowest point Of the noon
depression is reached at exactly the
same time. Evidently more New

cago. The curve also drops more rap
idly through the afternoon, and at z
o'clock less business is being done by
belated officials than must be the case
in the neighborhood of the Chicago
main exchange.
Such differences as exist between
New York and Chicago appear in the
curves of other cities. In general 1t
may be said that the tendency in the
eastern cities is toward shorter hours
than prevail in the west. Boston and
Washington very closely follow New
York in their telephone habits, while
the average days curve Of Cleveland
or Denver is not far different from hat
of Chicago.

Men and Hat. and Churches.

In the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries hats were commonly worn
by men in Protestant churches both on
the continent Of Europe and in Great
Britain.
Pepys notes in his diary as n singular
circumstance that at the French
church at the Savoy he saw, on Sept.
%, 1862, what he had never seen be
fore-viz, a clergyman preaching with
his hat Off.
Another author Of the period says
some congregations took off their hats
when they sang the Psalms, but kept
their heads covered If they read them.
The custom almost died out after the
restoration, but was revived again by
William III. When William, however,
found the Dutch habit caused offense
to his English subjects he diplomat
ically remained b~areheaded during the
prayers and then put on his hat for the

VILLAGES IN THE A r
Japanese settlements Amid Dens

apanc settlements Amid Dense
Groves of Evcrgreens.
Without having actually seen them
you cannot imagine how dark some
Japanese country villages remain, even
In the brightest and hottest weather.
In the neighborhood of Tokyo itself
there are many villages Of this kind.
At n short distance from such n settle
ment you see no houses; nothing is Wis
ible but q dense grove Of evergreen
trees.
The grove, which is usually composed
OF young cedars and bamboos, serves
to shelter the village from storms and
also to supply timber for various pur-
poses. So closely are the trees planted
that there Is no room to pass between
the trunks of them; they stand straight
as masts and mingle their crests so as
to form i roof that excludes the sun.
Each matched cottage occupies a clear
space in the plantation, the trees form
ing a fence about 1t double the height
Of the building. Under the trees 1t Is
always twilight, even at high noon, and
the houses, morning and evening, are
half In shadow. What makes the first
impression of such n village almost dis
quieting is not the transparent gloom,
which has n certain weird charm OF its
own, but the Stiffness.
There may be fifty or q hundred
dwellings, but you see nobody and hear
no sound but the twitter OF invisible
birds, the occasional growing of cocks
and the shrilling cicadae. Even the
cicadae find these groves too dim Ind
sing family. Being sun lovers, they
prefer the trees outside the village. I
forgot to say that you may sometimes
hear a viewless shuttle-chaka-ton,
chaka-ton-but that familiar sound In
the great green silence seems an el6sh
happening. The reaso of the hush is
simply that the people are not at home.
All the adults have gone to the neigh
boring fields, the women carrying their
babies on their backs, and most of the
children have gone to the nearest
school, perhaps not less than a mile
away.-Atlantic.

CATCHING COLD.

Caught" the a for 1t does catch
