Com fort in Hot Weather.


In these days. when the sun Is rather TOO familiar
with the Inhabitants OF this zone, and the dog
star shines reilly with rejected heat, frequent
ly complain OF the weather without considering
that their discomfOrts may be due to conditions OF
life which might be altered for the better Every
observer OF the human race and its customs knows
that men do not suffer in the same ratio On the
superheated plains OF Bengal. and that death from
sunstroke Is not so frequent In the tropics in our
higher ATTITUDES, but strangely enough such
observers have rarely explained the phenomenon.
AS matter of fact this anomalous condition OF
things Is entirely due to neglect OF the common
est sanitary conditions or food and dress. Man is
naturally an inhabitanJ OF the tropics. He was
first created In a LOrrid zone, according to the
teachings OF both revelation and geology. In that
zone man sill lives and fiOurisheS, AFTER nnumer-
able cycles OF occupancy. Essentially the same
creature, VIII 'rever his home may be, there is no
reason why he should not be happy and comforta-
bic IN the hotter seasons OF the year.
Summer Is tine season OF growth and physical

there some exceptions prove what the rule might
be. The farmer sweatS freely while hoeing in his
corn held, but with his straw hat, suit OF light
jeans and bare feet, he feels the same grateful
exnilaration as the negotiating shoots which
spring up greenly about MIN. The pores OF his
skin are open for every passing breeze, and the
wet drops which soak into his light clothing are
not an expense account upon his physical bank
A similar regulation OF clothing prevails IN hot
climates. The hindoo who works all day In the
rice neid Is not subject to sunstrokes Australi-
ans, Cu0ans and Mexlcan5 live easily during six
months OF hot weather, because they know how

fatal as pestiences in cities In this part OF the

Pericies or Aicibiades ruled, and Socrates Plato,
Zeno or Pythagoras were living thinkers, did not

the Romans OF the heroic age, when Virgil sang.

The Family Outing.


1t was q family OF nine, and they made for
midable appearance as they marched on board
the train. First came the father He was short
and fat, with flowing side whiskers q red face,
and husky voice. He carried wo-year-old
baby on his right arm, and led an interesting
string OF chubby youngsters with his left hand:
Toiling on behind was the fat mans wife and
the mother OF all the children. A fretting baby
was Struggled up TO her bosom, and the mother
and baby wheezed and fretted together.
II was a frtghtfuiiy hot DAY, and the family
was going to COny Island TO cool on. Perspirati0n
streamed from all their faces. The man cleared Q
row OF nine seats py requesting several persons
to sit somewhere else. The children Immediately
stuck their heads out OF the windows, while their
mother and father mOpped their faces and
struggled to regain their breath.
"If had to work as hard as this in the store"

American Cities.

Westminster Review for July.
The saints have bestowed their revered names
upon many cities in America, but have allowed
Saint Paul and Saint Augustine TO be literally d.

ture, but on nothing else. The very manner In
which the names OF The saint-christened towns
are pronounced by the resident generations in
this nineteenth century shows that for them the

than in any other place that this influence must

responsibility which, considered In its true light
becomes a privilege and sacred trust. A child
cannot understand the "why and wherefore" OF

shrinks from sights and sounds which, 20 him. are
strange and unaccountable. To IN any way

but the act itself may be followed by serious
results. For one TO say no harm was intended,
and that was only In fun, is no excuse. II is or
some OF the ways In which this abuse is some
times offered and their consequent attendant
evils that wish to speak.
There are some people VINO seem to take NOR
bid satisfaction in frightening Young children by
suddenly appearing before them with the face
hidden by mask or the entire body covered with
Sheet, at the same time uttering loud and un-
natural sounds and gesticulating In a wild and
frantic manner. Occasionally We ma person
