s@HLv RISING rs CONDEMNED.
q Habit Which May Severely Tax the
Vital Powers.

There is no adequate support for
the impression that the early morning
hours are in any way more wholesome
or healthy than later periods of the
uay. Except i'll summer time they
are apt to be damp. foggy, chilly and
among the least desirable hours of
daylight lt is quite true that during
the suInmer there is a sense of exhil-
aratlon about being abroad in these
early morning hours, but this evapo.
rates with the dew and is apt to be-
succeeded by a corresponding depres-
sion and loss of working power later
In the day. Ihave been observing INV
friends and patients for the past 20
years in this respect, and am inclined
70 tne opinion that not little of the
repression and nervousness which
commonly develop in hot weather is
oue to excessive exposure to light
from habits Of early rising. inherited
from agricultural ancestors. not CONN.,
teracted by three to four hours rest
In darkened rooms In the middle Of
the day.
Secondly, that the exhilaration ex.
NuiihS lu0 early morning
nours is an expensive luxury which
mas TO be paid for later in the day.
IN TACT, have found that as a general
rule, TO put it very roughly, the busi-
ness or professional man who rises
an hour before 1880 or 8, goes TO
ped, or loses his working power
an hour and a half earlier in the
evening. Each individual has in
the beginning of his day about so
much working power stored UP IN his
brain and muscle cells. II he uses
this up with great rapidity in the
early morning hours he naturally ex-
hausts his stock the sooner in the
afternoon.
1t Is largely a matter of when a
man wishes to be at his best. If his
occupation is or sucn a character that
ne can clear off the brunt of his
work In the early morning hours, then
let MIN rise early. If on the other
nand he requires full vigor and readi
ness OF mind and body in the latter
part of the day, or at night, then
ne must rise later to get it. Even
In pure muscle work it is false econ.

No Tax on Pianos.

The vigorous protests made in
France against the proposal to levy a
tax upon all owners OF pianos in that
country have had the desired result,
and for the present no further attempt
will be made to carry the suggestion
into effect.
The plan, as the London Telegraph
recalls, was to make every possessor
OF small piano pay the equivalent
OF two dollars a year, and the owners
OF grand were to dlsburse double
that amount. It was estimated that
the revenue from the proposed tax
would enrich the Golfers of the state
to the tune Of $1,000,000 Many collec.
tions Of other instruments have been
known to produce a worse tune.
