Col. F. W. Higginson on the Health of Women
From the Woman's journal.
With the influx into cities has come an
increasing habit Of spending third or
Quarter Of year in the country, this being
the time when country life liz most available
and perhaps the only time when is so es-
sential. There Is great deal to enjoy in
the country in Winter; but, on the whole,
for physical training, the city offers better
opportunity in Winter. 1t has miles of
sidewalks for walking, at the same time
when our rural villages are half buried in
snow; and in all gymnastio advantages
there is no comparison. The finest physi-
cal types in New England are ordinarily to
but among the we'll TO- do families in our
cities and suberbs-families who spend, as
matter OF couse, their summer vacations
on the seashore or among the noun
taias. All improved habits as to diet,
bathing, ventilation are carried with the
summer boarders into the country. Don't
you think know" said q resolute landlady
in Vermont, what kind of folks are willing
to sleep on feather beds?" and she added,
eve have fewer and fewer Of them every
year." Middle-aged people can recall the
immense increase of physical freedom given
to young girls, first in the cities, then ID the
country, by the Introduction Of rubber boots
and waterproof cloaks. OF course the coun-
try is the place for long free walks and for
climbing; but who take the walk? As a
rule, the city boarders.
So IN regard to healthy outdoor games
that are doing so much for the health of
the young girls. Croquet was first known
in cities and then in suburbs; 1t now sets
up its wlckets in every farm house yard
1t is the same with archery and law tennis.
These exercises proceed from the city out
ward, not from the country inward.
1t is not the experience of our public
schools that the children of cur elnigrant
parents are healthier, on the whole, than
the more comfortable of our native born.
Consumption has been regarded as the
special scourge of New England, but a
physician told nae lately that no class among
us seem ID to have SO little stamina to resist
it as the young girls Of foreign parentage.
A worthy poor Irish woman living near me
has lost one Of four grown-up daughters
by this disease, and two more are rapidly
sinking under 1t, leaving her but one. In
presence of such facts doubt whether ev-
en- the tonic influence Of poverty can coun-
ter balance the good effects OF care and
good nursing and the ordinary comforts Of
life.
