Philosophy for Hot Weather.

Washington Irving, 40 the story goes, once
said to lady friend Don't be to anxious
about the education of your daughters. They
will do very we'll don't teach them so many
things, teach them one thing" "And what
may that one thing be ?" inquired the lady.
Teach them," counseled the author of The
Sketch Book, "to be easily pleased" No
more sensible piece of advice could well be
given TO prespiring Americans who go about
these days finding the grasshopper burden.
The best way to keep cool and serene is not
by putting q cabbage leaf in ones hat, is not
by putting ice-water IN ones stomach, nor
yet by tarrying long at the straw that leads to
mixed drinks. Such devices are not to be
despised, but the most effective weapon with
which to ward of the heat is the fine art of
being easily pleased. The man who is easily
pleased is a man that can rely upon his diges-
ton, and digestion as everybody knows, is
half the battle of life even when the mercury
is standing at q narrowing height.
Thrice happy is he who has learned to be
easily pleased. He has found the philoso-
piers stone. He has become superior to
fate, and the weather. When it is piping
hot he smiles gratefully ~ he reflects that At
all events he has not been sunstruck. He con-
tinually finds sincere pleasure in reminding
himself that it easily might be hotter, having
respect more particularly to the equator and
to the three gentleman Of old who were cast
into what was literally fiery furnace. He
TRANQUILITY appeals from the most rabid Of the
dog days to the bracing chillness of autumn.
and now and then he re-rcads Winters
"Snow bonnd." The consequences is that he
gets thro' the heated term with comparative
comfort. He is continually counting his mer-
cies, and he always spells each one of them
with big NJ. As for his troubles, he de-
clines to count them, he resolutely turns
away from them. and it pleases him, this man
who is easily pleased, never to fret. IL was
person of this sort who, when he fell and
fractured his leg. exclaimed with glad eyes,
THANK God-it might have been my he ad. -
There certainly was philosopher of the best
because the most practical school. He had
learned to be easily pleased. York
