Robin ROosts.

As stood night after night watch
ing the robins stream into this little
wood, no better, surely, than many
they had passed on thoir way,-l asked
myself again and again what could be
the motive that drew them together
The flocking Of birds for Il long jour
ney, OF in the winter season, is less
mysterious. in times of danger and
distress there is at least a feeling of
safety in a crowd. But robins cSnnOt
lie afraid of the dark. Why, then,
Sould not each sleep upon its own
feeding grounds, alone, or with few
neighbors for company, instead of n.y.
ing two OF three miles, more or less,
twice day, simply for the sake of
passing the night in Il general roost?
Such questions we must perhaps be
content To ask without expecting an
answer. BY nature the robin is strong
ly gregarious. and though his present
mode Of existence does not permit him
to live during the summer in close
communities, AS marsh wrens do, for
example, and some of onr swallows. -
his ancestral passion for society still
asserts itself nj ni3htfall. Ten or
twelve years ago, when | was bird
gazing in Boston, there were sometimes
hundred robins at once upon the
Common, in the time of the vernal
migration. BY day they were scattered
over the lawns; but at sunset they
gathered habilually in a certain two or
three contiguous trees, not far from
the Frog Pond aud the Beacon Street
Mall q wonder whether the same trees
are still in use for the same purpose),
where. after much noise aud some
singing, they retired TO rest, If going
to Sleep In a leaness tree-top can be
called retiring.
Whatever the origin and reason OF
this roosting habit, / have no doubt
that it is universal. Middlssex Coun-
ty birds cannot be in any respect
peculiar. Whoever will keep close
eye upon the robins in his neighbor,
hood, in July and August, will lind
them at sunset iiocking to some general
sleeping place. Bradford 7orrsy, IN

Syrup

Here is something from Mr. Frank
A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost a
father and several brothers and SIS
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee' 5
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger of lung trou-
bles, and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion? Listen /
Use nothing but Boschee's German
Syrup, and have advised. l presume,
more than a hundred different per-
sons to take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup
in the market" o

VISITING MANNERS.
Tie Proper way to behave As Guest ep
Hostess.

Many o. us who pride ourselves on
our good breeding are siugnlarly blind
as to what is duo TO friends who are
visiting people unknown to rs, or who
are entertaining guests whom we have
never met. Nor are we moro assured
as to some Of the points of etiquette to-
ward our own guests. and to our own
hosts when we make an occasional fit
ting from home.
1t is useless to decry etiquette by
saying that the best manners in all
cases are those which hurt no Que.
fhis - true rs general law, but there
always are some points which leave no
room for experiments as to what will
hurt another. and which yet may be
settled once for all by few rules.
III You have an acquaintance who is
entertaining friends whom she wishes
you TO meet. it is your duty to call
promptly, aud il possible offer some
hospitality to both guests and hosts.
Ii the position is reversed, and your
friend Is visiting people unknown to
YOU. never go to see your friend with
out leaving y card for the hostess. II
YOU give any entertainment for the
friend be very sure to invite her hosts
also. Ii does not follow that your in
yitation will be accepted. but IL it Is
the hostess must 0e treated as the guest
Of honor and shown every Difference.
II, for instance. the entertainment is
luncheon for young ladies, she may be
asked to take the seat at the end of the
table opposite to your own.
IL the mutual friend Is your guest
you may be sure that IL she is a wo-
man of good breeding, she in turn will
accept no invitation which does not in
clude you, although you may think
best to decline it and insist upon her
going alone. Nor will she receive Wis
itors without asking you to join them
in the parlor--should her friends he
rude enough to have sent you no cards.
Here, too, You may excuse yourself, or
at most join them with such delay as
to give them a short interview alone.
These same rules should hold good for
you when you are the guest. Before
YOU 90 to make the visit, send word to
your friends where and with whom you
are To stay, SO that there may be no
idea that you arc in clearinghouse
and therefore mistress of your time and
surroundings. This constant Difference
to your hostess should lead you to- Or
der all letters aud packages to be adj
dressed 10 her care.
As TO the disposal of your time when
you are visiting no etiquette requires
you to accept all the plans of your
hostess if you feel unable to do so; but
care is needed to show that refusal
means lack OF strength. not lack of in
terest aud inclination. With a little
tact on both sides you will have many
hours for your own.S Indeed. skillful
hostess will manage to secure you this
privilege, and>not make the mistake OF
working too hard TO amuse you aud so
absorb every moment of your visit
into her idea Of what is pleasure for
you.
No greater compliment is possible
than the quiet acceptance of your
preference in the intimacy of family
life. - Youths Companion.

KleptonanA a Mark Of lnsan-
ttv 10

The ordinary Iayman oil average
Intelligence smiles when he hears oil
or reads about case OF klepto-
manin. He knows better; the KEEP
tomaniac is thief with fine name,
and tho name has been invented for
the purpose OF screening Members OF
the higher classes who are vicious
let kleptomanin is as much an IN
sanity as the unreasoning desire to
take human life. A case in point is
cited in recent number of the Hos
pital. 1t is that of n man who was
arrested short time agoin the act
Nf stealing a handkerchief from a
lady in a Vienna suburb In his sane
days he had been prosperous bank
or; but mania for cambria pocket
aandkerchiefs seized upon him md
proved his ruin. 1t was his habit to
accost ladies in the street and offer
10 buy their pocket handkerchief.
II they refused he used to get angry,
aud to offer higher and higher prices
until bargain was struck.
Many women traded upon his mad
gess until at last all his money was
spent, and no became a bankrupt.
But bankruptcy did not cure his ma
MIA, for no longer having money to
pay for pocket handEerchiefs he took
to stealing them and was sent to
prison. For Ave years nothing was
heard OF his depredations, and it
vas believed that his Imprisonment
had cured him. But short time
ago he was discovered at his old
tricks. When arrested he had fifteen
cambria handkerchiefs in his posses
zion, all of which he confessed to
have stolen within an hour. III his
bedroom 434 cambria pocket band
kerchiefs were found, and it is be-
lieved that many more We're conceal
ed in hiding places which he refused
10 reveal. He had never been known
to. anything else nor does he seem
to have made any use ofthe cambria
handkerchief. The tribunal before
which he appeared very properly
sent him to a. mad-house and not to
prison. 1.-THE case" declares med
ical authority, "is absolutely con-
rincing, and probably no one who
reads it will in future doubt the fact
OF kleptomania." -.a...-.
