WHEN WE CRlTICISEFRIE
The Kindness of Ignoring Trivial Mis-
takes In Our Daily Life.


"There are two kinds Of mistakes,
mistakes of moment and trivial mis-
takes, - writes Edward W. Box in The
Ladies' Home journal. Undoubtedly
the best service which one friend can
render another is to save him from IL
mistake liable to be serious in its re
suits In such an act lies true friend
ship. But III these days Of criticism
when we are apt to critielso everything
and everybody, We are all too apt To
correct mistakes which are absolutely
trivial and net worth correcting. And
yet i'll calling attention to them we of
ten hurt the feelings of our best friends
Not one OF Us, even the most good ma
tured, likes To have his mistakes point
ed out. We may appear not to mind cor
rections and accept them with smile
but it is human nature to smart under
correction, although some Of us may be
clever enough to conceal the smart !;
hence the fewer mistakes we call atten-
ton to in others the better.
"Two-thirds Of the mistakes we make
are trivial Their correction is unim
portant Why then notice them? Yet
some people do, and do so constantly. a
person speaks of having done certain
thing on Thursday, when III reality it
was done on Wednesday. If no impor-
tant point is involved why call attcn
ton to the mistake? What good does 1t
do to.have the exact day set right? It IL
a matter Of no importance, SO why IA
sist upon correcting the trivial error:
Staneh friendships have often boz
pricked by tins needle Of useless cmf.c-
tion. 1t is great art-th4 art Of learn
ing to allow others 10 he mistaken Whom
the mistake Is unimportant Few learn
it, but those who do are among the
most comfortable friends one can have -

GRANTS SECRETlVENESS.
The Responsibility of Ills Position Forced
Him To Guard His ttt.rances.

Him to Guard His ttterances.
General Horace Porter. in Cam
paigning With Grant, . in The Century,
says concerning General Grants score
tiyeness:
After the general had got some miles
out on the maren from Cold Harhor an
officer OF rank Joined lin. and as they
rode along began 10 explain plan
which he had sketche1 providing for
the construction Of another line Of in
trenchments some di~tance IN rear Of the
lines then held by Us, to he used i'll case
the army should at any time want to
fall back and move toward the James
and should be attacked while with
drawing The gen rtl kept on smoking
his cigar, listened To the proposition fer
time and then quietly remarked to tie
astonished officer, "1hc army has al
ready pulled out from the enemy, y front
and is now on its march to the james "
This is mentioned as an instance Of
how we'll his secrets could be kept. H.
had never been a secretiVe man until the
positions of responsibility in which be
was placed compelled him to be chary
in giving expression to his opinions and
purposes He then learned the force Of
the philosopher maxim that the un-
spoken word is a sword in the scahbard
while the spoken word is ii sword i'll the
hand of one 5 enemy. In the field there
were constant visitors To the camp,
ready to circulate carelessly any init
nations of the commander $ movements,
at the risk of having such valuable in
formation reach the enemy ANY en-
couraging expression given to an appli-
cant for fayors was ant to he tortured
into n promise, and the general natural
ly became guarded in his intercourse
When questioned beyond the bounds of
propriety, his lips closed like "A wise,
and the obtruding party WAS left to sup
ply all the subsequent conversation.
These circumstances proclaimed him
a man who studied to be uncommunica-
tive and gave him "a reputation for re
serve which could not fairly be attrib-
uted to him. He was called the Amer
lean Sphinx, " Ulysses the Silent and
the "Great Unspeakahle, and was pep
ularly supposed to move about with
sealed lips 1t is true that he had no
''small talk" introduced merely for the
sake of talking, and many one will
recollect the embarrassment of "A first
encounter with HIM resulting from this
fact. But while, like Shakespeare sol
dier, he never Wore his dagger In his
mouth, yet i'll talking to small circle
of friends upon matters toWhich he had
given special consideration his CONVEX
ton was SO thoughtful, philosophical
and original that he fascinated all who
listened to him.
