Soma From the Chicago Ipter-OceaEuropean scientist, sfter burning midnight oil for .years in an endeavor to discover something new, has Jumped in the sir in the agony of discouragement and landed with both feet on the doctrine that early rising is conductive to wealth and wisdom. He stamp the old rhymed adage, Early to bed and early-- rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise,"" as a Delusion and a snare, invented by some wsvk--o- ut .farmer- - who-- wan led to-of his harvest hands. In support of his theory the scientist remarks that Insanity is more prevalent among early risen. Farmers, he says, go mad in He greater numbers than bankers. considers raising potatoes more injurious to the nervous system than raising mortgages. Under ths new doctrine will lead a long life, the gambler though he may be short at times. Incidents can be cited in Chicago which go to bear up the learned statements of the European iconoclast, who has shivered a gray haired and beloved superstition into atoms. To begin with, there is the milkman, who from year of getting tip before it is light around the pump, has been laboring under tbe , hallucination nhat his milk is thick. This is a form of insanity often met with, but people have been undecided what to attribute it to. The citizen who finds a fish in his cream may not know that another honest man has gone mad. The ravages of early rising are also evident in the case of the young husband who arises in the small hours to lull the screeches of a spell of colic. Between his set teeth the breath of a madman hisses the refrain of a lullaby, stopping now and then to breathe a few words not set to the music. Under the new order of things the fisherman in starting out before the sunrise lays himself liable to a home in the insane asylum; the delivery man should make his rounds about 8 o'clock, and street cars should start an hour later. Stores might open at 10 o'clock, and by noon business would lie In full blast for the day. Whether there is anv virtue in the new' disroveiy time alone will tell. Anyway, ij js well to give it a trial, and but few' will be found who are adverse to lying abed to give the European scientist a chance to prove his theory. s4 op Malf DELHI. INDIA, .
