Painful Accuracy.

A habit of accuracy is of the utmost
importance, and mothers ought to insist
upon truthfulness in their children. But
occasionally one comes across person
who lays undue stress upon trites. II
you start to tell a story, she interrupts
you to say that it was Wednesday, not
Monday, as you had stated; that the
amount was thirty-one dollars, not
thirty; and that the gentleman could
hardly be called middle-aged, as she
knew his age to be sixty-two. Thus she
corrects every speaker, until it is only an
adventurous soul who will attempt to
talk much in her presence. If you say
to her that it hardly seems worth while
to make so much fuss over trifes, she
will ask how you dare call anything q
trife, and then relate cases in which
apparent trifes have proved Of untold
Importance, till you retire in silence,
overcome by a sense Of your own ignor-
ance and unworthiness. Such self-ap-
pointed reformers need to be reminded
that they will not have to answer for
other peoples sins, and that it were bet-i
ter to let trifing inaccuracies pass un-
noticed than to be the means Of prevent
ing the free interchange Of thought and
opinion. Certainly there are no such
conyersation-killers as these oVer-accu-
rate persons, and as such they deserve
to be suppressed. E

Certainly the chemistry whose working
in us is thus limited owes its laws to Life
