MEMoRY's JOY AND SORROW
To the Properly Balanced Mind the
Scales Will Be Found About
Evenly Arranged.

1t is remembrance that makes us
human, remembrance that gives us
present Immortality. Without memory
there could be no progress, no ad-
vancing from low places to the
heights; for 1t is memory that brings
the past to us and gives us certain
immunity from the burdens of the
passing moment.
Not in childhood, perhaps, but at all
other times memory is the mother Of
hope. 1t may be true. as Dante said
and Tennyson echoed, that sorrows
worst sorrow is to remember hap
pier time; but against this we have
to weigh the numberless joys that men,
Ory confers. the lessons it teaches us,
the strength 1t gives us and the CO.
herence, the sense of completeness that
1t gives to our lives.
1t is not well to live in memory only.
unless in old age, when remembrance
may be the best treasure left to us.
We can easily become morbid and
weak by too continual a dwelling in
the past; the present and the future
both have their insistent claims. But
any sane person knows that the abuse
of good may always turn it into an
evil, and remembrance can be no eX-
ception to this law.
Gilpin observer., 1919-07-03
Snow Houses in the Arctic.

A snow house is the most adaptable
of dwellings. If it gets too warm ell
ther for the comfort of the inhabi-
tants or because the roof begins to
thaw, you can lower the temperature
by enlarging the ventilating hole with
your knife. If 1t gets too cold you
make the hole smaller by stuffing a
mitten into it. If the roof begins to
thaw because it is made of blocks that
are too thick you send man out with
a long knife or machete, and he thins
them down until the frost without
neutralzes the heat from within and
the thawing stops. But II you have
made your roof too thin and hoar
frost begins to form from your breath
and from the steam that rises from the
cooking, then man goes out with
shovel instead Of knife and throws
a little soft snow on the roof to blank
ct it from the excessive cold.-Vilhjal-
mur Stefansson in Harper's Magazine.
