Indeed, +the Elysian Fields themselves were a part of Hades, though they have since been +removed to Paris. When the Jacobean version of the New Testament was in process +of evolution the pious and learned men engaged in the work insisted by a +majority vote on translating the Greek word “Aides” as “Hell”; but a +conscientious minority member secretly possessed himself of the record and +struck out the objectional word wherever he could find it. At the next meeting, +the Bishop of Salisbury, looking over the work, suddenly sprang to his feet and +said with considerable excitement: “Gentlemen, somebody has been razing ‘Hell’ +here!” Years afterward the good prelate’s death was made sweet by the +reflection that he had been the means (under Providence) of making an +important, serviceable and immortal addition to the phraseology of the English +tongue.</p> + +<p class="entry"><span class="def">hag</span>, <span class="pos">n.</span> An elderly lady whom you do not happen to like; sometimes called, also, a hen, or cat. Old +witches, sorceresses, etc., were called hags from the belief that their heads +were surrounded by a kind of baleful lumination or nimbus—hag being the popular +name of that peculiar electrical light sometimes observed in the hair. At one +time hag was not a word of reproach: Drayton speaks of a “beautiful hag, all +smiles,” much as Shakespeare said, “sweet wench.” It would not now be proper to +call your sweetheart a hag—that compliment is reserved for the use of her +grandchildren.</p> + +<p class="entry"><span class="def">half</span>, <span class="pos">n.</span> One of two equal parts into which a thing may be divided, or considered as divided. In +the fourteenth century a heated discussion arose among theologists and +philosophers as to whether Omniscience could part an object into three halves; +and the pious Father Aldrovinus publicly prayed in the cathedral at Rouen that +God would demonstrate the affirmative of the proposition in some signal and +unmistakable way, and particularly (if it should please Him) upon the body of +that hardy blasphemer, Manutius Procinus, who maintained the negative. Procinus, +however, was spared to die of the bite of a viper.</p> + +<p class="entry"><span class="def">halo</span>, <span class="pos">n.</span> Properly, a luminous ring encircling an astronomical body, but not infrequently +confounded with “aureola,” or “nimbus,” a somewhat similar phenomenon worn as a +head-dress by divinities and saints. The halo is a purely optical illusion, +produced by moisture in the air, in the manner of a rainbow; but the aureola is +conferred as a sign of superior sanctity, in the same way as a bishop’s mitre, +or the Pope’s tiara. In the painting of the Nativity, by Szedgkin, a pious artist +of Pesth, not only do the Virgin and the Child wear the nimbus, but an ass +nibbling hay from the sacred manger is similarly decorated and, to his lasting +honor be it said, appears to bear his unaccustomed dignity with a truly saintly +grace.</p> + +<p class="entry"><span class="def">hand</span>, <span class="pos">n.</span> A singular instrument worn at the end of the human arm and commonly thrust into +somebody’s pocket.</p> + +<p class="entry"><span class="def">handkerchief</span>, <span class="pos">n.</span> A small square of silk or linen, used in various ignoble offices about the face +and especially serviceable at funerals to conceal the lack of tears. The +handkerchief is of recent invention; our ancestors knew nothing of it and +intrusted its duties to the sleeve. Shakespeare’s introducing it into the play +of “Othello” is an anachronism: Desdemona dried her nose with her skirt, as Dr. +Mary Walker and other reformers have done with their coattails in our own +day—an evidence that revolutions sometimes go backward.</p> + +<p class="entry"><span class="def">hangman</span>, <span class="pos">n.</span> An officer of the law charged with duties of the highest dignity and utmost +gravity, and held in hereditary disesteem by a populace having a criminal +ancestry.

Figuratively, this useful organ is said to be +the esat of emotions and sentiments—a very pretty fancy which, however, is +nothing but a survival of a once universal belief. It is now known that the +sentiments and emotions reside in the stomach, being evolved from food by +chemical action of the gastric fluid. The exact process by which a beefsteak +becomes a feeling—tender or not, according to the age of the animal from which +it was cut; the successive stages of elaboration through which a caviar +sandwich is transmuted to a quaint fancy and reappears as a pungent epigram; +the marvelous functional methods of converting a hard-boiled egg into religious +contrition, or a cream-puff into a sigh of sensibility—these things have been +patiently ascertained by M. Pasteur, and by him expounded with convincing +lucidity.

There have been many singular +popular notions about the hibernation of various animals. Many believe that the +bear hibernates during the whole winter and subsists by mechanically sucking +its paws. It is admitted that it comes out of its retirement in the spring so +lean that it had to try twice before it can cast a shadow. Three or four centuries +ago, in England, no fact was better attested than that swallows passed the +winter months in the mud at the bottom of their brooks, clinging together in +globular masses. They have apparently been compelled to give up the custom and +account of the foulness of the brooks. Sotus Ecobius discovered in Central Asia +a whole nation of people who hibernate. By some investigators, the fasting of +Lent is supposed to have been originally a modified form of hibernation, to +which the Church gave a religious significance; but this view was strenuously +opposed by that eminent authority, Bishop Kip, who did not wish any honors +denied to the memory of the Founder of his family.</p> + +<p class="entry"><span class="def">hippogriff</span>, <span class="pos">n.</span> An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half griffin.
