Early Rialng.

Bob Ingersoll, the sinner, OCCASION
ely takes g shot at old adagcs as we'll
as modern theology. In speech,
lately delivered before the Illinois
farmers, he thus attacks the we'll.
established adage, "Early to bed and
early TO rise"
"It is not necessary in this age of
the world for the farmer to rise in the
middle of the night and begin his
work. This getting up 80 early in the
morning is relic of barbarism. Il
has made hundreds and thousands of
young men curse the business. There
is no need of getting up at three or
four o'clock in the winter morning.
The farmer who persists in doing Il
and persists in dragging his wife anil
children from their beds ought 70 be
visited by missionary. It is time
enough to rise after the sun has set the
example. For what purpose do you
get up? To feed the cattle? Why
not feed them more the night before?
1t is waste of life. In the old times
they used to get up about three o'clock
in the morning, and &c to work long
before the sun had risen with healing
upon his WINGS" and as just punish.
ment they oil had the ague, and they
ought to have it now."

Artificial Climate.

The growth OF potatoes, recent cx-
pertinent shows, is considerably cffec-
ted by tho color of the soil in which
they nre planted. The GALAXY relates
that in studying the puzzling question
why some potato fields escape blight
while surrounded by others suffering
severely from it, it was noticed that
these fortunate plots were darker than
the infected areas. Thinking that the
greater absorption Of heat by the
darker ground and the consequent
higher temperature might explain the
difference, Mr.. j. p. Hannay selected
a piece Of ground poorly adapted for
growing potatoes, as it was blue clay.
It was planted in the ordinary way,
using stable manure. One-half was
left as planted, but the other was COW
cred with SCOT which had been careful
ly washed until the soluble matter had
been entirely removed, so that it could
no longer afford any nourishment to
the plants. Yet the tubers in this part
of the ground sprouted first, and were
always healthier than those in the un-
dressed part of the field. Tempera-
lures were taken by a thermometer in
ser.ed II .he eel, :sh;;cch :sh;c h:o, &, hat ..ss..
at q depth of two inches the soot-cov-
cred earth was, on the average, LIT
degrees hotter than the natural ground {;
and at the depth of eight inches the
difference was 1.09 degrees. Thus the
dark earth afforded its tubers warmer
climate than light-colored soil. The
most remarkable difference was found
in the composition of the resulting
crops. The soot-covered potatoes con-
taincd 22.5 per cent. Of starch, and
those III plain ground only 17.5 per
cent, and the granules were smaller
in size.-Rurat Nep Yorker.

Attention is called to the profess
sional card OF DR.. J. W. Jennings, who
has recently located in Plymouth.
The doctor comes from Alliance,
Ohio. The Reuie,c of that place on
noticing his departure says:
DR.. Jennings, with his family start
cd on Wednesday last for his new
home in Indiana. The doctor having
formerly been a resident OF the
Hoosisr state, finds it difficult to cut
loose from the ties that bound him to
her, and finding a more extended
field Of usefulness opening up for him
there, has felt it his duty to accept
the call. We are sorry to lose from
our community, a gentleman Of such
sterling integrity and professional
ability as the doctor but hope that In
his new field Of labor he may find as
appreciative friends as he leaves be-
hind, and n practice as successful
and profitable.

A Reading Room Needed.

The offer by Hon. II. G. Thayer Of
5000 toward the establishment Of q
reading room in Plymouth, and the
ofIer Of Hon. H. Corbin to furnish
the ground on which to erect q building
should not be allowd to go unnoticed.
The offers are highly creditabls to
the public spirit and enterprise of
these gentleman, and IL our citizens
will second the motion an institu-
ton may be put in operation that
may be Of incalculable benefit to this
city. A well regulated reading room
Is one Of the needs of Plymouth.
There are many men, young and old,
here who having no family ties are
compelled to pass their spare time In
such places as now offer. Men are
by nature social animals, and many
are drawn into temptation because OF
that fact. It IL not matter OF won
der that many young men form hab-
its Of dissipation under such circun-
stances. And when they get fairly
started on the downward road 1t Is q
most difficult matter to arrest them
in their descending career.
It Is not claimed that the establish
ment c. reading room will correct
all evils Of thu nature referred to, but
It will do great good In the way Of
intoxicating . spirit for reading, which
win naturally lead them into habits

of correct thought. That much, at
least, is clear gain. Then the
pleasure to be derived by all citi-
zens in having access to the cur
rent newspapers, periodicals and
books Of the day Is to taken into con-
sideration. No one will question the
Importance of establishing such an
institution and now that such sub
stantial encouragement is offered our
citizens should take the matter in
hand. A plan may be hit upon if a
public meeting is held for that pur-
pose, and it will not require long to
determine the temper Of our people
il such a meeting were called. The
REPUBLICAN throws out these hints at
the instigation Of trio OF ladies
who feel sufficient interest in the
matter to request that attention be
called to it in this way. THE REPUB-
LICAN will cast its mite into the enter
prise in the way of furnishing from
three to five daily papers for the
reading rooms, in addition to other
periodicals from time to time. Who
will speak next?
