Warm Weather Philosophy.

Hot weather has its compensations as well as drawbacks. There is no bothering with overcoats, overshoes, and so on; the gas and water pipes are not frozen; your horse can move if he is not sharp-calked; and then there is all the fruit and the berries and the green vegetation, the beautiful landscape and thousands of things that are enough to make you forget that hot weather is here at all, if you only enjoy them as you may. Let the weather come as it does. As an old countryman of sound sense said the other day: “It is fortunate that no man has the making of the weather, for if he did he would be the only one suited with it; while, as it now is, a large majority of the people are satisfied with it most of the time.” These people who find so much fault with the weather virtually confess their neglect to adapt themselves to it.
