‘As a matter of fact the press has been
largely instrumental in encouraging the
reading of good books, and while it en-
grosses 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-
ters 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 na-
ture. Be it was who criéd: “Do not read
the times. Read the eternities. ” But he
lived in a day when the press was small,
of little influence and, servile. In his
own state it supported the demands of
the slaveholders, to his infinite disgust,
and it was first and last a mere record
of the day’s doings. »
But the press of this day is more than
a record. It is a mirror of the world’s
thoughts and intentions, a critic, a
judge, a guide, a friend. By many the
pews pages are glanced at, and attention
is bestowed on the contents that exhibit
deliberation, research and scholarship.
There is as good writing and as pur-
poseful and helpful writing in the daily
papers today as there was in the maga-
zines of the first half of our century be-
fore. -- Moreover, it is writing toisome
purpose. It is not for meredisplay of
style, but to accomplish the betterment
of governments, of society, of institu-
tions and arts, to stimulate effort in
right causes, to encourage industry,
thrift, honor and content. The condition
of the world in our century without the
daily press is unthinkable. —Brcoklyn

DANGER IN EARLY RISING.
A Doctor’s Theory That the Habit Helps
to Make People Insane. .-
Dr. Selden H. Talcott, the medical
Insane asylumyrecently,{tarted the the-
ory that nothing conduced so much to
insanity as early rising. f
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 amo‘ng 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 an 'nerv-
ous strain than city folk and a 0 less
liable to infectious diseases and the bad
effects of alcohol. . .
Dr. Talcott’s view, after a careful
consideration of the advantages and dis-
advantages of farming life as a 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 chil-
dren in particular suffer severely from
the “artificial cut elf” which is applied
so rigidly to their lives. ' ,
The report of the state commission in
lunacy shows that during the year end-
ing Sept. 80, 1894, 370' farmers, gar-
deners and hérdsmedrwere committed in
New York state as lunatics. ‘ This is a
larger number than in any other class
except laborers, of whom there were 607
commitments. ‘
As against these large classes there
were only 54 members of the profes-
sional classes committed, including
clergy, military and naval ofl‘icers, art-
ists, authors, civil engineers and surveys
ors. There were only 45 men committed
out of the large class of waiters, cooks,
servants, miners and seamen. The class
of male teachers, students, housekeep-
ers and nurses gave‘on ly 23.—New York

Chinese Idea. of Firemln Winter.
Although in some parts of China the
weather during, winter is very cold, the
Chinese think English fires very unu'vi‘
lized—so destructive to furniture and so
apt to smoke. “Their way of getting
warm is to add jacket over jacket and
skirt over skirt, and when sitting quiet
to embrace a little charcoal burner hid-
den by the wide sleeves of the tunic. ”
Sometimes this unseen warm friend was
forgotten during Mrs.- Stewart’s class
hours, and there was a cry that some-
body was on fire. All hands would then
hasten to the rescue, and the fire would
be put out amid much; amusement.—

Mrs. E. T. McKinnon, residing at the

time ago I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills ad-
vertised at Geo. Burwell’s pharmacy,
Boylston St. and‘ Park Sq. I began
taking them at once, and nothing I had
been taking acted as quickly or efl'ec-
t1v_ely._ One box entirely dispelled the
pains in my kidneys and I have had no
recurrence of them, and the “dizzy
spells,” from which I formerly sufi'ered
so much, left entirely and I am indeed
IDVIgorated, and my home duties seem
so light compared with what they for-

duty to tell what Doan’s Kidney Pills
have done for me.”
Is this not plain, concise, convincing?

ferer from any kidney trouble.
