Hints for Travellers.

Take One.fOurth more money than
your actual estimated expenses.
Acquaint yourself with the geogra.
ply of thcroute and the region of your
travel.
Have a good supply Of small change,
and no bill or piece higher than ten
dollars, that you may not take counter
felt change.
So arrange as to have but one single
article of luggage to look after.
Arrange under all circumstances to
be at the place of starting fifteen or
twenty minutes before the time, thus
allowing for unavoidable or unantici-
pated detention on the way.
Don't commence day s travel with
out breakfast, even if it has to bc eat
en- ut daylight. Dinner or supper or
both eau be more healthily dispensed
with than Il good warm breakfast.
Put your purse and watch in your
vest pocket, and all under your pillow,
and you will not bc likely to forget
either.
The best if not entirely secure fast.
enings of your chamber door is a bolt
on the inside; if there is none lock the
door and turn the key so that it can be
drawn partly out, and put the wash
basin under it; thus any attempt TO
use 4 jimmy or another key will push
it out and cause Il racket among the
crockery. which will be pretty sure

posed rudeness, insult or inattention.
Do not suppose yourself specially
and designedly neglected if walters at
hotels do not bring what you call for
in doublequick time; nothing so dis.
tinctly marks the well-bred man as a

proves the puppy.
Do not allow yourself to converse in

person two or three seats from you ;
it IS the mark Of a boor if in Il man,

like dclicacy if in women. A gen.
tleman is not noisy; ladies are serene.
Comply cheerfully and gracefully
with the custom of the conveyances in
which you travel, and Of the places
were you stop.
Respect yourself by exhibiting the
manners or gentleman and lady, il
you wish to be treated as such, and
then you will receive the respect OF
others.
Travel is a great leveler; take the

morse so deep fell upon their souls
that they were fain to arise, leave
their homes and journey to Rome in
hope of getting reconciliation with the
church. They were graciously re-
ceived by the Pope, who promised to
receive them back into the fold after
seven years of penitential wandering.
They had letters of credit from King
Sigismund would the Luneburgers
kindly look at them !-granting safe
conduct and recommending them to
the safe protection of all honest PEG.
pie. The Luneburg folks were touched
at the recital of so much suffering in a
cause SO good; they granted the re-
quest OF the strangers.
They allowed them to encamp they
watched in curiosity while the black
tents were pitched, the naked babies
rolled out on the grass, the dOnkeys
tethered, and the brass kettle slung
over tho newly kindled fire then they
went home. The next day the strang.
ers visited the town. In the evening
Il good many things were missed, es-
pecially those uncOnsidered trifles
which IL housewife may leave about her
doorway. Poultry became suddenly

rumorcd that purses had been list

ers cherished cups Of silver were not
to be found. Could it be that these
Christian penitents, these remOrseful
backsliders, these seekers after holi-
ness, these interesting pilgrims, 50
gentle Of speech,s so courteous and hum
BILE, were cutpurses and thieves! The
next day there remained no longer any
doubt about the matter at all, because
the gentle strangers were taken in the
act redhanded.
While the Luneburgers took coun-
sci, in their leisurely way, how to
meet a case so uncommon, the pill
grims suddenly decamped, leaving
nothing behind them but the ashes of
their fires and the picked bones of the
purloined poultry. Then Dogberry
called unto him his brother Verges,
and fell to thanking God that they
were rid of the knaves. This was the
first historical appearance of Gypsies.
It was a curious place to appear in.
The mouth of the Elbe is a long way
from Egypt, even if you travel by sea,
which does not appear to have been
the case and a journey on land not
only would have been infinitely more
fatiguing, but would, one would think,
have led to some notice on the road,
before reaching Luneburg. There,
however, the Gypsies are first heard
of, and hencefOrth history has had
plenty to say about their doings.

Whether in towns or silent fields it be,

One at the altar ever seems to stand,

Daniel Deronda Synopsized.

From the London Examiner.
l. Geraldine HartOpp was consider
ed by the exoteric to be a girl of strik-
ing beauty. The truth known to the
seOteric few was that there was GER
tain hydr0static force in her aspect
which compelled either admiration or
hate, and had been known to draw
tears Of envy. She pawned her neck
lace at Baden Baden to pay a gambling
debt, and the next day it was returned
to her with mysterious note, which
she associated with mysterious
stranger who had watched her with
some contempt in his hooked nose as
she played. After this her family was
ruined.

III. Geraldine, finding that she could
not go on the stage, resolved to marry
Courteb0tte, who had several other cs-

Trading With the Japs.

From the Boston Commercial Bulletin.

which struck my fancy and enquired
the price.
"'Four dollaire.' was the response
from a youthful Jap.
''The price suiting us we'll as the ar

way out, and in the afternoon again
approached the Bazaar with that OBJ

like that of Il wrinkled old monkey,
who upon being asked the price an
swered,-
Eight dollaire!'
"'No,' said, throwing up four
fingers, it was four dollars this morn

like a cash in a side of sole leather,
and displayed a row of yellow fangs
from which the gum had receeded, and
ejaculated,-
ooh, noa, he is eight dollaire.'
Gas retreated, noticed in the lit
tie garden which surrounds the bazaar
the same kind of flower pots in some
of which were flowers, and tried the
custodian of these, sober, chestnut

"Again explained that they were
only four dollars in the morning, but

Appearance of Gypsies.

One day, four hundred and fifty
years ago, or Whereabouts, there knock
ed at the gates of the city of Luneberg,
on the Elbe, as strange a rabble rOut
as had ever been seen by German
burgher. There were three hundred
of them, men and women, accompa.
MED by an extraordinary number of
children. They were dusky of skin,
with jet black hair and eyes wore
strange garments; they were unwash-
ed and dirty, even beyond the limits
tolerated by the cold.water.fe fearing
inhabitants of Luneberg; they had
with them horses, donkeys and carts ;
they were led by two men whom
they called Duke and Count. These
two alone were dressed in some kind
of splendor, and rode richly compari.
sOned horses they were most courte-
Gus in manner they seemed careful to
conciliate, they talked among them
selves in strange language and they
understood the language of the coun-
try. All they asked was permission to
camp outside the gates for few days.
All the Luneburgers turned out to
gaze Open-mouthed at these pilgrims,
while the Duke and the Count told the
authorities their tale, which was wild
and romantic even had they invented
4 story to suit their own objects, no
other could SO easily have enlisted the
sympathies of a credulous, kindly, un-
critical, soft-hearted folk. Many years
before, they explained, while the tears
of penitence stood in the eyes of all
but the youngest children, they had
been a Christian community, living in
orthodoxy and therefore happiness, in
far.off country know as Egypt. The
Luneburgers had heard of Egypt.
Crusades had not been out of fashion
more than two hundred years, and PEG.
pie still told of dreadful things done in
Egypt as we'll as in the Holy Land.
Egypt, indeed, was about as well
known to medieval Europe as it was to
the Isrelites under the Judges. The
strangers came from Egypt. 1t was
the land of Phoenix. It was not far
from the dOminions of Prester John.
1t was the country of the infidel and
the Saracen. They were then a happy
Christian flock. TO their valley came
the Saracens, an execrable race wor

hour, to the threats and prosecutions
of their conquerors, they-here they
turned their faces and wept aloud
they abjured Christ. But thereafter
they had no rest or peace, and q re.
