EARLY RISING.
The Spectator denies that early rising in really beneficial. The truth is that late rising in civilized countries is not thercault either of ille noss or Fashion, or contempt for bygienic lawa, but of a babit based partly upon the social sys- tem of division of labour. It is very inconvent, ent for any socisty which is in any way inter- independent to vary its time of rising with thứ sao, and it therefore selectes a rough mean time at which for, the greater part of the year there will be a decent measure of daylight. In Eng lund that time is not live or anything like Ave, but between eight and nine; and accordingly
