DANGER IN EARLY RISING.
New York Medical Specialist Says II Conduces
to Madness.

The Hospital.
All the spiritual descendants of
Sancho Panza, that finest eulogist OF
slumber, thould bless the name of DR..
Selden Talcott, of New York. DR..
Talcott is specialist in mental dis
eases, and he declares that the habit of
early rising conduces to madness.
The free and lazy savage" says,
"gets up when he feels ready and
rarely or never becomes insane" DR..
Talcott's protest should be considered
carefully by his fellow countrymen,
who, even more than the British,
pride themselves on their active hab.
its. Recently, we believe there has
been founded in New York a society
whose members pledge themselves not
to take more than four hours sleep in
the twenty. four. 1t would be interest
ing to follow the health and life his
tories of those who keep this pledge
For we do not suppose there is any
thing dangerous in early rising in it.
self, but only in the combination
Herewith OF going to bed late.
On the whole, it is better to obey
the old proverb and ego to bed with
the lamb and get up with the lark"
But it is different thing when one
combines the attempt to follow the
latter part of the advice with habit
OF going to bed with the nightingale.
Yet the increasing strain of business
compels early rising in those who
would succeed, while If they want to
combine pleasure with business they
will find it impossible to get to bed be-
fore midnight or even then, for our
amusements seem to begin and end
later every year. The energetic peo-
pie who 60 in for this fashion of life
are apt to assure others, and them
selves also, that they do not require
much sleep, and undoubtedly it is pos
sihle with practice to do with much
less than the normal amount of rest.
1t is important, however, to remember
that such habit cannot be INDUCED
in without a corresponding sacrifice Of
health.

PRESBYTERIAL INSTITUTE.
Bids Fair to Open with n Full At
tendance Sent. A.

Blackshear, Ga, Aug. 17.-Active
preparations are being made for the
opening of the Presbyterial Institute
on Sept. IA. The mana cement could
not well wish for a brighter prospect.
Very few rooms are left untaken at
this early date, and it is very likely
that every available space will be
taken before the institute opens.
The institute is most fortunate in
the fact that there will be no change in
the faculty, except in the way of adj
dition. Every member of last years
faculty will return. Several members of
the faculty have been doing special
work during the summer, and will re-
turn better equipped for their duties
than before.
1t seems that the hopes of the pres
bytery of Savannah will be more than
realized this year, and that additional
accommodations for students will be-
come a necessity.

Ernest Edwards of this city has been
appointed in his place. Mr.. Edwards
was the temporary receiver for the
concern, but at a meeting of credit
ors before the referee at Thomasville
recently they asked for the appoint
ment of Mr.. Gatchell, who was a
member of the firm. Judge Speer's
order suggests that it is hardly prop
err for a debtor to be appointed to close

Gatchell was removed. The liabilities
of the concern are said to be about
$23,S05, and the assets $35, 305.
