Collecting
Memories
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

No man Is failure If he can learn
from his own mistakes. No woman
has missed her chance in life if she
can accept her own blunders quietly
and calmly and profit by them.
In old age one gazes back across
the panorama OF life and sees strug-
gle that was not rewarded, blunder-
ing that was bitterly expiated, suffer
ing that SCARED and a series Of
human experiences good and evil,
which, perhaps, had one life to live
over, one would manage very differ
emily. But, after all, each of US is what
we are because Of what we have ex-
perienced. We stand each year as the
sum total OF all the striving and fail
ure or effort and success which have
filled our days up to the point when
we reckon our own worth.
What we experience matters far
less than what Interpretation we
make of it. "
With idle and bitter regret have
very little sympathy or patience. Re-
morse is waste of perfectly good
energy-and | object to waste.
Suppose all through one day you
conduct yourself very badly. Suppose
you say stupid and awkward things
and are conscious that you are max
ing very bad impression thereby
Suppose you are mentally and phys
ically all thumbs3"
Suppose opportunity comes and
you make nothing of it. What good
will It do you to lie awake at night,
toss and tumble feverishly on your
bed regretting all you have done and
imagining how differently you might
have done itl What possible avail
can il be for you to reproach your
self for your laundering and grieve
over each i'll advised move you have
made that day? All of that will only
wear you out and bring you weary and
worn to the duties of the next day.
The way to accept your plumbers
is in this spirit: "Well, made pref
ty bad fizzle OF things today. | did
all the things ! shouldn't have done
and ! neglected every opportunity
that came my way. However, perhaps,
that's just as well, for now that |
understand my own unreadiness and
lack OF judgment in today's proceed
ings, shan't need to 60 through them
again. I've simply learned what not to
do and what to seize upon and try to
do. So this day wasn't wasted at ALL
After all, life is an endless going
to school. One keeps having tasks
set and doing them well or Ill and
learning through failure as we'll as
through success.

The .Swlft Foe of the Rat
By GARRETT P. SERvISS.

A rat with weasel on his track
ISL imagine, a very unhappy animal.
His chances could hardly be worse
unless his pursuer happened to be
that red-eyed cousin of the weasel
called a ferret. And yet a rat is
courageous fighter Get him in a cor
ner and he will fight a man or a
dog. But he will not stay in corner
to fight if weasel is after him.
The fierce, swift, sinuous move
ments of his slender enemy confuse
him and take the fight out of him.
1t is like swordsman fighting with
streak OF lightning. And the light
ming becomes zig-zag when it is
ferret instead of weasel that
makes the attack.
Both the weasel and the ferret be-
long to the family of polecats, and
one of their other slender cousins is
the stoat, who, when he wears white
coat, with a black tip on his tail, is
dignified with the name of ernine,
whose fur kings were once so proud
of adjoining themselves with that they
forbade common people, including
those more stilted common people |
called mobiles, ever to put it on.
All OF these creatures are born rat
cStchers, but the weasel and the fer
ret excel their relatives in bloodthirst-
mess, rapidity and cunning. When
was boy | had a great fear of wea-
sells, because of the stories that l.
heard of their ferocity, swiftness, abil-
ity to go through the narrowest OPEN
ing, and habit of springing upon their
prey and instantly driving their sharp
teeth into the arteries of its neck.
The stories were true enough in
substance, only weasels were not so
numerous nor so fond of chasing lit
tie boys as had been led to suppose.
The nearest | ever got to weasel
was in taking up, with rather tremu-
lous fingers, from hens nest some
fresh egg shells, which, | was told,
had been sucked by a marauding
weasel.
Yet the weasel, for all the terror
that he inspires, is one Of the hand
soonest OF the smaller four-footed ami
mails. And if you can keep him away
from the hens nest and the chicken
yards, he is one Of the most useful
allies Of man, on account of the cease
less war that he wages on rats, mice,
moles and other vermin.
The weasel has even been called
Elegant" on account of his shape.

Keeping Feet IN Condition

Few tyrannical slave owners ever
treated their minions worse than
most people treat their feet, the will
ing servants who carry them every
where, run all their errands and bear
the entire burden OF their avoirdu-
pois. Just consider for a moment the
ill-treatment meted out to the unfor-
tunate toes. Once the straight, pretty
pink toes OF the baby, they are
crushed by the drawing vanity of
sweet sixteen to the high heeled
shoes with pointed toes that push the
big toe forward and produce that
permanent Disagreement, an enlarged
joint, which periodically inflames
and sometimes develops into an un-
slightly bunion.
As time goes on the toes are COM
pressed into distortions by the in
sane practice of squeezing No. 5
foot into No. 4 shoe, or a No. 6 into
a No. S, until the foot becomes, in
stead of thing Of beauty, positively
repulsiye to behold uncovered, with
twisted, overlapping toes, malformed
nails, knoblike joints, plethora of
corns and callousities. Yet we ex-
claim in horror at the deformed feet
OF the Chinese woman Of rank.
One can imagine the eastern lady
being equally Mortified at the feet
OF some American women were they
exposed to her gaze. What hours
of misery are represented by. these
maltreated extremitiesl Pain in the
feet is aggravated by the weight OF
the body and by the pressure of the
unyielding footwear upon the in
famed surface, and this kind of pain
has the effect Of causing the most

THE WEASEL RESTING.

He has the graceful "stream-lines"
with which automobile manufacturers
have coaxed so many extra dollars
out of peoples pockets, and his move
ments are an eye-lesson for dancing
masters.
A full-grown male weasel is
about ten or eleven inches long, in
GLIDING short tail; the female is
somewhat shorter.
He has a small head, little round
ears, long, flexible neck, short
limbs, five-toed feet, beautifully
curved claws, sharp, white teeth
and finely arched back. He has
short, fine fur, brown on the top
and sides and white underneath. If
his habitation is far north, he some
times turns white in winter, in I'M
itation of the ermine, but he has not
the invaluable black tip on his tail.
and he is smaller than the ermine.
He will chase his prey anywhere
into a hole, up tree, through any
kind OF a labyrinth, and across
stream of water, for he is perfect
swimmer. Only the ferret exceeds
him in these exercises. The ferret
is professional, the weasel an
amateur, almost as good as pro-
fessional. l have read one pleasing

Household Helps

If eggs you are about to boil are
cracked, add a little vinegar to the
water, and they can be boiled as sat-
isfactorily as unchanged ones.
Don't throw bones that have been
boiled for soup into the dustbin. Put
them at the back of the fire, bank up
with well-damped small coal, and they
will burn for hours.
Ink stains can be removed without
injuring the most delicately colored
material. Mix some mustard into
thick paste and spread over the stain.
After twenty-four hours sponge thor
oughly with cold water, and no trace
OF the ink remains.

SP00k3 IN A WAR HOSPITAL,
Indians and Priests, a. Result Of In
expected Meeting, Thought Each
Other "Haunts."

British Headquarters-An amusing
little incident was told me by the off,
Ger commanding a clearing hospital
which is now being used as GONZALES
cent hospital, writes a correspondent
Of the London Times. His hospital IL
housed In a Cistercian monastery.
Ameng the wounded were a consil-
cradle body Of Pathans, who, after the
manner Of their kind, had no sooner
had their wounds attended to than they
began to wander about the building
And explore what kind Of place 1t
was to which they had been brought
They chose for this amusement the
hour-between two o'clock and three
o'clock In the morning-when the
monks were at complins. Some of
them even went SO far as to get into
the monks beds and settle down there.
In due course the monks returned
and there was a scene Of frantic ex.
element. The Pathans, seeing these
white figures walking along the cor
ridors and coming into the rooms,
thought that the building was haunt
cd by ghosts, while the monks sudden
iy confronted by crowd of black hui
man shapes, became obsessed with the
Idea that their monastery had been
Invaded by host Of black phantoms.
Each side began to shout with the
fury of fear at the other. Luckily.
they made such noise that the at
tention Of my informant was attracted
and he succeeded in putting matters
right
