DANGER IN EARLY RISING.
Doctors Theory That tho Habit Helps
to Mako People Insane.

DR.. Selden 81. Talcott, the medical
superintendent of the Middletown State
Insane asylum recently, started tho the
cry 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 tho bad
effects of alcohol.
DR.. Talcotts view, after careful
consideration of the advantages and dis
advantages Of farming life as 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 i'll particular suffer severely from
the artificial cut off" which is applied
60 rigidly to their lives.
The report of the state commission in
lunacy shows that during the year end
ing Sept. so, 1894, 37O farmers, gar
deners and herdsmen were committed in
New York state as lunatics. This is a
larger number than in any other class
except laborers, of whom there were GOT
commitments.
AS against these large classes there
were only 81 members of the profess
sional classes committed, including
clergy, military and naval officers, art
lists, authors, civil engineers and survey
ors. There were only 40 men committed
out of the large class of walters, cooks,
servants, miners and seamen. The class
Of male teachers, students, housekeep-
ers and nurses gave only 23.-New York

THE DAILY NEWSPAPER.
Its Development and It's Worth Excellent
ly Set Forth.

ly Set Forth.
The evolution of the daily press into
more than newspaper is forced by
public expectation and custom. It is to
u majority of people, at least on this
continent, the sole library. 1t must Salts
fly a wider demand than that Of the man
who merely wants to know if stocks
have risen since yesterday or whether
Senegambia and Bolivia have gone to
war overnight.
Matthew Arnold said, with sus.
pioion of tears in his voice, that if he
lived something like 90 years longer
than he expected to, he would probably
be the only man in Great Britain who
would be found reading books. He took
pn extreme and rather pessimistio view.
As matter Of fact the press has been
largely instrumental in encouraging the
reading of good books, and while it en-
crosses the attention of many millions
Of readers to itself the fact Of the in
creasing literary output Of the country
and the world refutes the notion that
the public is losing its appetite for mat
tiers of enduring moment. Thoreau, the
apostle Of high thought and individual
ism, took no care of the changes that are
recorded and forgotten every day because
he lived apart from men and studied ma
ture. he it was who cried: "Do not read
the times. Read the eternities. But he
lived in day when the press was small,
Of little influence and servile. In his
own state it supported the demands Of
the Shareholders, to his infinite disgust,
and it was first and last mere record
Of the days doings.
But the press of this day is moro than
record. 1t is mirror of the world g
thoughts and intentions, critic, a
Judge, guide, friend. By many the
news pages are glanced at, and attention
is bestowed on the contents that exhibit
elaboration, research and scholarship.
There is as good writing and us pur-
poseful and helpful writing in the daily
papers today as there was in the maya
zines of the first half of our century be-
fore. Moreover, it is writing to some
purpose. 1t is not for mere display of
style, but to accomplish the betterment
of governments, Of society, of institu-
tons and arts, to stimulate effort in
right causes, to encourage industry,
thrift, honor and content. The condition
Of tho world in our century without tho
daily press is unthinkable. Brooklyn

OLD TIME FASHIONS.
Some OF the Fads of Fashionable People In
the Long Time Ago.

Some of tho old timo fashions were worry
odd indeed In tho reign of Horny III Of
France, gentlemen and ladies of fashion
Thought tho comflt box q requisite. In
the reign of Charles V brooches very short
and very close fitting were worn by ultra
fashionable gentlemen. This style gradual
~ went out, and brecchcs grew larger until
they were simply enormous Indeed in tho
reign of Elizabeth tho gentlomon of fash
ion stuffed out their brooches with cotton,
feathers and Other light materials to mako
them look ms largo rs possible
Tho fashionable ladies of that time, not
wishing to be outdone by tho gentlemen,
invented tho largo hoop farthingale which
spread out the dress skirt like the modern
orinoline.
It was in tho reign of Elizabeth that
'dcep ruffles and long rapicrs'' wero quito
tho fashion. But thoruf1les becoming too
deep and tho rapiers too long Elizabeth
issued proclamation against them and
stationed selected oitizons at every cato to
"cut off the ruffles and break tho napier
points of oil passengers that exceeded n
nail of yard in depth Of their ruf1les and
yard in length of their rapiers.'
In the fourteenth century square toed
shoes were worn by tho fashionable world.
Tho square toes finally grew to such n
breadth that proclamation was issued to
tho effect that mo person should wear
shoes more than six inches square at the
toes"
These were followed by narrow, pointed
shoes, which kept increasing in length
until the wcaror found it necessary to
turn up the toes and faston them to his
knees with chains.
Some Of the old fashionable people con-
sidcred n great many changes of clothing
necessary. 1t is said that Sir John Arundel
had change of no less than 30 suits of
cloth Of gold tissue, and Elizabeth, vito
of Philip III of Spain, dressed very sump-
tuously and never wore the Same dress
twice.
Such were some Of tho old timo fashions,
and if it be truo that history always re-
peats itself" we may expect to SEQ thom
revived Times.
