HYQEIA. 559 



prevention of disease is the proper management of sleep. 

 The " preserver of men" has a special favorite in this beau- 

 ful brother of death, and insists upon it that we shall be 

 wary and wise how, when, and where we sleep. 



" This inner part of the process of rejuvenescence may 

 be rendered more clearly comprehensible by sleep, for this 

 also is a phenomenon of periodical rejuvenescence, the reju- 

 venescence of the consciousness. In sleep the mind is relaxed 

 from the tension in which it is held toward the outward 

 world while awake. Thus sleep, a necessary recreation for 

 the mind, is equally required by all the powers of the body 

 immediately serving the mind. The inner formative pro- 

 cesses, on the contrary, through which the body is preserved, 

 do not rest during this time of retreat ; they rather act the 

 more undisturbedly and concentratedly. Hence the reju- 

 venescing power of sleep also over the body, which appears 

 so wonderful."* 



WHAT WE WEAR, AND HOW WE WEAR IT. 



The philosophy of clothes is of profound interest to the 

 "biped without feathers," and "Sartor Resartus" is ex- 

 haustless in suggestions as a critique on the divine rights 

 of the only universally-acknowledged kings and queens of 

 the present time, namely, tailorsf and mantua-makers ; and 

 the doctrine that " spiritual idiosyncrasies reveal themselves 

 in the style and color of clothes," and that the external husk 

 of the monkey man, is all-powerful in the " table of forces" 

 of the world, the flesh, and the devil, even belonging to the 

 abysmal necessities which superintend the developments of 

 peacocks and parrots, fashionable ladies, fops, and Indian 

 chiefs, ("with stripes of red and yellow,") have a sublime 

 significance in the publication of the outside of things 

 as a mode of "visualizing the ideas of the eternal mind."

f "The Tailor is not only a man, but something of a creator or 

 divinity. With astonishment the world will recognize that the Tailor 

 is its hierophant, and hierarch, or even its god."
