Modern Compensations.

Hot days, high temperatures. excessive
humidity. great suffering. True. Life IS
heavy in midsummer. when the sun gets
busy and the skies weep. But do we ever
stop to think Of how much better OH we
are than we used to be- even the living In
habitants Of the earth? There should be
comfort in the thought that there once was
a day when. with the temperatures as high
and the humidity az marked there were no
electric fans no long cool drinks no whiz-
wagons and trolley cars, no means OF
quickly reaching the ocean or the noun
tainS.
So when the collar wits and the body IS
a burden stop and think of the advantages
which have come to you in these days.
Meteorologists speak of relative tempera-
ture'' to signify the actual effect upon the
Individual of the combined heat and hui
nudity. There should be scale of "rela-
tive temperature in terms of the heat
humidity conditions and the comfort-secur-
ing facilities of today compared with the
circumstances Of life fifty or seventy-f1ve
or hundred years ago.
In the olden day. when the sun worked
overtime and the clouds conspired to de-
press humanity, there was no way to avoid
the evil influences save to stay indoors, do
no work. wear practically no clothes and
remain perfectly still. But the world de-
mands active service in summer just In
winter nowadays The days duty calls US
out of the COOL shut house, makes us put
on collars and cuffs, forces us to hustle
about and otherwise lays on the burden.
The average man, however, copes with
these requirements in the new way.
He lowers his awning, turns on his electric
whirler, strips off his coat and assumes the
negige appearance of the business worker
in summer time which all ranks of society
have accepted. and when he goes forth to
lunch, to consult or collect he carries an
umbrella and wears a straw hat.
Now there's a modern advantage which
our forefathers lacked-the umbrella and
the straw hat. True. the Chinese used UNI
brellas, or sun shades. centuries upon GEN.
turtles ago. But it was not until the early
part of the eighteenth century that they
crept into England from Italy, where they
had evolved from the fans and sun shades
of the ancients. combined with the folding
device of the celestials. And there was a
long period during which the umbrella was
hooted in the streets as effeminate. The
straw hat is a late conner in the northern
catalogue of human Quitting.
1t is bad habit to grumble in summer al
the hard conditions of life. especially wher
there is so much to be thankful for wher
one begins to draw comparisons.

that indulgence in strong drink Is sign
of mental incapacity. But 1t Is not itself
