Experience.

“It’s a good thing to depose a general If he makes a bad mistake,” said Representative Britton, apropos, of the new French law’, for trying the high command. “You enight say that a general learns by experience, that he profits by his errors. But the French people evidently hold that the man who only learns by experience never learns at all.; “ ‘Experience,’ they doubtless say. Is a brush which is given to us after we have lost our hair.’ “Or again they say: “*Oh, yes. experience is all right, but It doesn’t seem to help us much. What’s the good of knowing what the weather was like last night before last?’ ” ' ■ ’ . ’
