One day her mother was talking | about something the child did not care to pay attention to. so in her sweetest | tones she said, as she pointed out the | window, “Mamma, see the pretty little | bird.” Fortunately the woman had a | sense of humor and she laughed heart- | ily. Then the child did too. She was ! her mother's methods, but wisely used them when occasion re- quired in her little scheme of things.

An unorderly or disorderly mind is a favorite breeding ground for mistakes. But back of that there is an- other mental habit that breeds mistakes, perhaps even more common. Its name is inaccuracy, but that likewise is a name only for a mental habit that is real, but ‘a bit bafing. That type of | mind is never sharply focused; it works with blurred images. It never gets your | name or your address or your instruc- | tions just right; it carries. but it spills as it does so. It turns out work that must be gone over and checked up.
