AMERICANS ONE GREAT IDEA
Happiness Has Principal charm-The
People Are the Most ldeaIistie
and Imaginative.

"The Americans are the most ideal
istic and imaginative people in the
world, and the most prosaic, because
like Wordsworth, the most prOsaic of
poets, they believe in happiness, and
happiness to them as to Wordsworth
means mems sana in corpore sanO;
every n efficient In the tasks of mod
ern life, the least heroic of doctrines.
81 met q young American poet, hand
some, and besides elated by winning
some prize or other for a poem. He
said to me In his arrogant way that
poetry is a b%y-product of life. Why, l
said, 1T is life ITSELF L don't agree
with you was all he condescended TO
reply. This young man expressed the
American idea.
81 think the English dislike of the
cries, etc, through their long history
is because of their poetical minds and
their preOccupation with personality
and its freedom.
"The taste for scenery has this ad-
vantage over the taste for human ma
ture; the heart is not bruised. Yet
since scenery is never absurd as are
poor mortals, neither is there laughter
nor genial pity. We love scenery
principally because the feelings IL Gre
ates are tranquil and easily controlled
so that we can enjoy our full measure

rlor person nor can he be proud

Dry, Hot Atmosphere.

Dryness combined with high temper
allure is commonly deemed injurious,
notes an exchange. This is the com
bination found in desert climates and
in many a~rtiticially heated dwellings
in northern climates in winter. The
dry, hot atmosphere induces restless
mes and nervous feelings as well as
drying and irritation Of the skin and
mucous membranes. Susceptibility to
colds is said to be increased In indoor
jewellers in a hot, dry atmosphere, al
though a similar effect does not seem
to be associated with the aridity of
desert climates.
