Show Open Am Wm m REAL TRUTH ABOUT LAZINESS. Mistake to Consider It a Sign of tal Inferiority. Is no sign of mental Inferiority, according to Rev. Dr. Merle St. Croix Wright. He talked about the Laziness inferior races before the League for Political Education at New York, and endeavored to show that their Inferiority was not yet proved. "It is true they do not wish to work," he admitted, "but who does? Do you? If you could He under a banana tree all day, and eat part of the leaf and fan yourself with the other, do you think you would choose to do anything else? That is the religious paradise, as many have described it. It is only recently. Dr. Wright further remarked, that the white man has been any different from the lower races in the matter of work. Not so long ago work waa considered disgraceful rather than meritorious, and Europeans who attempted to found colonies in the new world actually died rather than scratch the ground or do any of the fundamentally necessary things of life. "We have been In the habit of thinking that the lower races are not even candidates for humanity," said Dr. Wright, "but the last word of science on that subject has not been spoken. d .

In the upper left hand corner of a letter dater Cralgle House, November 30, 1841, are tbess words: "If you have room in your trunk put Into It that roudy portrait of me which you have in oils." This reminds the reader of Longfellow's extraordinary love for various and rather bright colors in his clothes; a characteristic very noticeable during the early years of his professorship, but modified by time. His students at Harvard wrote a song about this, and. were wont, to chant It to a popular tune. The verses, according to Putnams Magazine, are to be found among the Chronicles of the Hasty Pudding club, at Harvard, but this sample etanza serves to illustrate the point: Just twig ths professor, dresssd out In his best, Yellow kids and buff gaiters, green breeches, blue vest: With hat on one whisker And an air that goes with Itl Look here! the Great North American poet. and more to be realized. Years ago ' suffering from bronchitis, pneumonia and kindred ailments were guarded with the most zealous care lest the least whiff of fresh, cool air should strike them or even enter the room where the patient was confined. y And to the common mind even pneumonia Is associated with warm rooms protected from every draught, with efforts to keep the temperature equable. Dut such methods no longer receive the indorsement of the professional men whose business it Is to keep pace with the latest developments of medical and surgical science. It Is no longer the close room where the pneumonia patient is kept sheltered but in the apartment where the greatest amount of fresh air can be persons to-da- secured. Perhaps the Presbyterian hospital of New York has taken the most advanced steps in respect to this open air treatment for pneumonia, and a visit to their roof ward would come as a shock and a revelation to many who still hold to the old method of treatment There on, that high, exposed place, with only canvas awnings to shelter from snow or rain are to be seen a score or more of patients on iron bedsteads, their pallid faces upturned to the winter sky, their breath frosted by the keen wind, and the falling light of the bleak winter day giving an aspect of utter dreariness to the wind-swe- . i; space. '"These," said the doctor in attendance, with a comprehensive sweep of arm over the still, white faces, "are our pneumonia patients. We have now about 41 In all.

You'll wake up feeling all right Yet here were pneumonia patients, many ot tender years, exposed to every winter blast that blew; no roof overhead, only an awplng that could be slid over rods In case of rain or sleet or snow. It seemed barbaric. The doctor said that it was only revo- lutionary. Here is Dr. William P. Northrup of the visiting staff of the Presbyterian hospital, and It was due to his strong faith in this radical idea, and to hts Insistence in the virtues of the open- nlr treatment for all suffering from pneumonia and acute infectious diseases, such as typhlod, scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc., that this open-ai- r ward was established on the roof of the hospital. "In one sense It is an experiment," Dr. Northrup said, "and in another It Is not I have employed the treatment In private practice and have been more than satisfied with the result. It is an experiment only in the sense that this Is the first time it is being tried out In a hospital and on a large scale. It was only at the beginning of this winter that the ward was made ready for the reception of pneumonia patients. That is the only type ot disease that we are treating In it now. "The result has been satisfactory. It has been conclusively shown that no harm has followed the sending of the patients directly Into the open air, and conspicuous benefits have been noted. Tho patients are less nervous, tlielr sleep is better, and this conserves tlielr strength; they are able to take more nourishment, and once past the crisis their recovery is more rapid. "It is not claimed that the open-ai- r treatment kills bacteria. It is not even sure that It shortens the period of the disease. Hut it Is sure that it enables the patient to bear up against the poison, helps hint throw It off, renders breathing less difficult, Induces restful sleep, Increases appetite, aids the assimilation of food in short, contributes In every way to his betterment and harms him in no way at all." The establishment of the open-ai- r ward was the result of Dr. Northrup's 5 The back Is the mainsprD womans organism.
