DO WE GET SLEEP WRONG.
present Method of Seeking Repose
Adversely Criticised


According to w. HI. Somerall a re-
spected and eloquent high light of the
theosophists, the present methods Of
seeking sweet repose, as practiced in
fankeedom, are al wrong, says the
Boston Journal Going 10 Sleep" says
he, is in nose cases crude and al
most brutal affair, and yet it might
be raised to the dignity of fine art.

we hurl ourselves into the bed and let
go. Between the voluntary letting-goes
and enforced assumptions lies a third
of life-which third is to most of us
spiritually valueless.''
We are not prepared at this mo-
ment to contradict Mr.. Somersall, for
to tell the unvarnished truth we 40
not know how we go to sleep. We
simply find, upon being aroused by
the heavy boots of the gentleman
above our head, that time has passed
that it is light and that presumably
We have been asleep. Whether this
going to sleep was brutal affair or
not, accompanied by sounds that sug-
gest the porcine animal, we are in
blisful ignorance. So, we presume. are
most of our brethren. Why not let It
go at that?
But theosoply. we find upon further
examination, has a remedy for this
commonplace and almost vulgar meth
cd of wooing old Morpheus. We are
told that 1.-THE mind should, the last
thing, be emptied, prepared, raised,
cleared, spiritualized by final medi.
tation, a nnal strain of aspiration,
kept up for some few minutes. The
DUST of the day should be swept away

stay nearly dreamless, sleep be-

morning when the soul returns 1t can

mind some of its indication"
That's it. That's what we have all
long waited Tor the ideation of the
morning. For the most part, It has
previously been a mere returning to
the consciousness that one must re-
cover energy enough to emerge from
under the clothes, only to go through
the old weary routine of soap and
water, and tooth powder II there Is
any joy that theosophy can give to
take the place of coming back to the
usual grind, Shen we all hail and
let us have tie cure at once. The
trouble with most of us. we fear. in
Following Mr.. Somerall's method
would be the final strain Of aspira-
ton before going to sleep generally
becomes the old wrestling with the
problem of how to capture few
more of the mighty dollars on the dav
that Is to come. If theosophy can
eradicate from our beings gross and
sordid thoughts of this sort, Il will
really do service to mankind.

prince could see on the horizon the
great rock described by the genie.

leaped out
Not green thing was to be seen on
the Island. nothing but the bare rock
rising sheer to the sky. How could
one reach the top OF It? II was clearly
too steep TO climb.
Perplexed, the prince sat down on a
iiat stone, when suddenly he became
aware that the sun seemed to have
ceased shining. Raising his head, he
beheld a terrible bird above him. Its
wings were as big as sails; each wick.
cd talon was as long as six fingers: its
beak was long and sharp and pointed;
the head was massive and shaped like
that OF an owl.
Hastily grasping his bow. the prince
shot an arrow at the bird with all his
strength, but though II struck the
black. glossy plumage OF the bird, II
broke as though made of glass.
With horrible cries the bird pounc.

above the sea. and then released ita

water with a force that dazed him so
that he WIS barely able to swim to

He rested In the boat. discouraged
but not yet daunted.
Just then he saw the bird leaving
the nest accompanied by her brood Of
little ones. Fitting another shaft e
his bow. he shot once more. This
time the arrow struck one OF the
young birds, last In line. and stunned
II so that II fell on the shore Just BY

Hurriedly picking up the bird. which
was larger than man, he bound II q
