One of the great failings of the human
family is thoughtlessnessi in speech, ,espe-
cially is this noticeable with the gentler
sex, generally speaking. A writer who
has given it considerable thought says:
|'The great lesson that woman has yet to
learn is TO think before she speaks. In
comparison with the thoughtless tongue
the pen in q woman's hand is as harmless
as a dove. All too prevalent in these
days is the spirit of cruel and thoughtless
criticism among women. Thoughtless-
ness of speech has done more to injure
woman than any single element in her
life. 1t has laid her open to the charge
of being unreliable--and oftimes justly
so. 1t has kept from her condolences
that were hers by right; it has stood in
the way of her progress: it has placed
her innumerable times in false positions;
it has judged her as being cold where she
was in reality affectionate; cruel where
she was gentle. 1t is the one incon-
sistency in woman's nature that has
baffied many one anxious to believe in
her.

How apt we all are to want to attend
TO agreeable duties first and leave the
disagreeable duties until the last, and
II possible leave them undone. With
this frailty of humanity in view Henry
Ward Beecher gave the following ad-
vice: 'Take good care of disagreeable
duties. Attend to these first. Never
select the things that you want to do,
and shirk upon others the things that
you do not want to do. Wherever you
are, choose the disagreeable things.
You will get your pay in your manhood.
You cannot grow in any other way so
fast. You may be angry with some
shiftless man who is willing to put on
you work that he ought to do, you may
feel that there is injustice in it, but you
cannot afford to be unfaithful because
somebody else is"
