Gospel Tent Services.

Interest in the themes presented at the
tent is growing. A goodly number were out
last evening, who listened attentively to a
sermon on the 1890 years of Daniel, eighth
and ninth chapter. In this remarkable
prophecy, the very year of cruciixion, A.
D. 81, is foretold. 1t was conclusively
demonstrated that the prophetic period OF
Daniel, 8:14-the 2,3O0rd~ day-began in the
year 457 B. c., ending in 1914 A. D., each
prophetic day standing for a literal year.
The work to begin in 1874, the cleansing
of the sanctuary, will be discussed to-
night,

DANGER IN EARLY RISING.
a Dootor's Theory That the Habit Helps
to Make People Insane.


to Make People Insane.
DR.. Selden II. Talcott, the medical
superintendent of the Middletown State
Insane asylum recently, started the the
DRY that nothing conduced SO much to
insanity as early rising.
In proof Of his assertion Dr. Talcott
calls attention to the relative frequency
with which farmers, their wives, sons
and daughters become insane. The cause
of this has hitherto been thought to be
their isolated lives, their hard work and
perhaps the excessive use of pie and po-
tatoes.
On the other side, it has always
seemed to DR.. Talcott and other eminent
alienists that there must be some other
deep seated cause of insanity among the
farming classes than pie and potatoes.
Farmers have always pure, fresh air in
abundance, which city folk seldom have /;
they are less liable to mental and nerv-
GUS strain than city folk and also less
liable to infectious diseases and the bad
effects of alcohol
DR.. Talcott's view, after n careful
consideration of the advantages and dis
advantages Of farming life as o predis-
posing cause of insanity, is that it is the
excessively early hours of rising which
increase insanity in the rural districts
out of proportion to the urban and sub
urban rate. He thinks growing chill
dren in particular suffer severely from
the artificial cut off" which is applied
SO rigidly to their lives.
The report Of the state commission in
lunacy shows that during the year end
