Of course we make mistakes, and the wiser we are the more we make some- times. The mistakes of a generous na- ture are worthy a volume to them- selves. “He that never makes a mistake never makes anything else either” is a consoling truism intended for such spirits—not by any means for those well meaning blunderers who cheer- fully take exercise in hobnailed boots whens; angels fear to tread. A gener- ous mistake is usually one of the seeds that, “if it die, will bring forth fruit. ”, Someone has just published a book cali’ed “The Mistakes That We Make.” I predict a large sale for it, because everyone will want to read it, in order inapply the censure to other people. "That’s exactly what Mrs. So-and-So alWays does!” or. “By‘ Jove! Poor old Charley Blunder to a Ti” will be the gleeful exclamations of the majority of its possessors. On‘l’yhmcdbst persons—like the hum‘ blel‘scribe: addressing you—will sufier from» its perusal, because—after the fashion of a. new medical student, who imagines himself a subject for every disease included in his lectures—they will fancy themselves guilty of every mistake condemned by the author. N-Ot content with putting a trium- phant finger on our little daily errors, the author gaily. plants his foot upon our fondest and oldest illusions. For instance, ruthless of consequences, he tells us that “there never was no sich a person” as Mrs. Hannah Glasse! Never again shall we be able to quotes. with light-hearted irony,..the iamous saying, “First catch your hare,” sinCe the» loved shades of its venerable authoress are dispelled forever. ll do not mean to go on reading this book. It is hard to be robbed of one’l earliest faiths. It may be that within the dread pages there lurks the in- formation that there was no such in- dividual as Confucius, or Ninon de ifEnclos, or the Queen of Sheba. I think we have already been told that the Duke of Wellington neVer said: “Up Guards, and at ’em I” thatRaleigh never spread a purple velvet cloak for Queen Elizabeth to walk over, that Canute never told the sea to go back, and that Alfred never burned the cakes. One cannot stand. any more of th.s sort ofthing and remain a credit to society. Therefore, as I do not want todie a. hardened pessimistical scofier, I. shall give away that book to some:- body against whom I have a grudge. M $467440. ¢gum Feminine Chat. It‘is a pretty sure sign that a man Bias been to church on Sunday if he whistles hymns instead of popular airs on Monday. - A death by drowning doesn’t seem half so dreadful as a death by fire when youhspeculate upon them both in this weather. To-watch a man sew a button on his coat is to realize how great he would be if he would only bring as much energy to bear on something else. Moonlight is a very charming ac- cessory toa romance, but to be obliged an sit in it alone is to realize that it can be depressing as well as enchant- ing. The persons who are too selfish to enjoy friendships that make them a little trouble will surely some day be in need of the sort of article they fail- ed to cultivate. A woman may look like a human ice- berg in her ,white duck costume, but do not be deluded.- into thinking that she isa bit cooler than. the woman in the cloth tailor gown. The microbe of love seldOm finds its ‘aayto an old bachelor’s heart. 5 The new blue stationary and red, stamps form quite a patriotic combin- ation. ' The fickleness of woman is absolutely nothing in comparison with that of man. ‘ _ The girl who. is buying her trosseau is the most dictatorial creature on earth. Despite the fact that it is too warm to eat, the butcher’s bill apparently suffers no diminution. _ The modest and retiring young wo- man is forced into contact with peeple when she begins to ride a wheel. The only man in the train who look- ed cool yesterday was theone who was . reading “With Peary Near the Pole.” Under the chiffon veil the face is treated to quite as much of a steam bath as in any of the hoods used by the beauty doctors. Purple asters being sold by the blos- som venders make us try to forget the present humidity and realize that autumn is near. ———<o.o>-—————— 7 T0 OLEAISE THE SYSTEM Efi‘ectually yet gently, when costive or bilious, to permanently overcome hab- itual constipation, to awaken the kid- neys and liver to a healthy activity, without irritating or weakening them, to dispel headaches, colds, or fevers, use Syrup of Figs, made by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. —-——-——<0.0.——-—-— Cannon.
