LAUGH Away the Clouds.

HE sT
Mistakes are to be laughed at. II
one were to take seriously every little
mistake he made life would become a
burden to him. Laugh at your own lit
tie mistakes. and do not feel grieved
II others laugh at them. Laughing will
help you remember to avoid them an
other time quite as we'll as giving
away to serious regrets. Some peo-
pie are forever taking themselves to
task for some shortcoming. They are
the Recommendations ones. If we act
foolishly on the impulse of a moment.
1t is no more fair to punish ourselves
than to punish a child for a little mis-
take. 1t is right to look for the error
and acknowledge it. II one has
wronged another, he ought to confess
1T and be careful; then put it out
of mind. To grow morose and solemn
is to commit a second fault. No one
is doing any good to himself or others
by constantly eating the bread OF peni-
tence. The only time to remember a
mistake is when one is tempted again
to the same fault. Daily and hourly
keeping up self-reproach, one is worn
out. This does not mean never to
listen to the warnings OF conscience.
but to see the fault, start afresh and
keep cheerful and hopeful.

other day that, although no system is
in%fallible, the police, given a finger
print of a nan who has been through
their hands, will tell you who he is in
nine hundred and n%inety-nine cases
out of a thousand. Furthermore, it
is a matter of Indifference to the Eng
lish police by which finger or thumb
the print is made; it can be easily

extent on physical measurement for
Identification, but while measure
