A TINE For VISITING.

Summer visitors, always of importance
in country and seashOre farms and cot
tages in the North, have an especial in
terest in this Worlds Fair year, when
the world and his wife are off on great
pleasure excursion. Although Western
relatives will receive the greater number
of visitors, there are many signs that
our Eastern homes will be we'll filled with
strangers from the West and from Eu-
rope. Undoubtedly all will be well
coined, but the warmth of the manner of
speeding the parting guest will depend
in great measure upon the aptness of
the stranger in accommodating himself
to the home customs of the hosts.
The new Bae1eker guide book, which
tells foreigners how to see the United
States, says: 'The social forms in
America are, in their essentials, similar
to those of England and the visitor will
do well to disabuse himself of the idea
that laxity in their observance will be
less Objectionable in the one country
than in the other. He will, of course,
find minor differences in different parts
of the country, but good manners will
nowhere be at discount" This is
such good advice that it is hoped that
all visitors will study it carefully.
Out OF the IlrBC rules OF Social Wishing
in England which this country would do
well to follow exactly is that of placing
a time of arrival and departure, which
the guest is to follow rigidly. There is
too great laxity in this regard, and to-
day many people are keeping their own
plans of visiting the Worlds Fair in
allegiance on account of the company
who are expected indefinitely. At a
season when everybody is busy in ar
ranging tours, it is especially important
that the coming and going of guests
should be known with precision.
The English fashion of giving great
freedom to the guest may be followed
with good results. Let the company see
Boston as they choose. 1t is not neces-
sary for you to climb Bunker Hill Monu-
ment for the twentieth time because
your guest feels the ambition. The
average guest is much happier when
permitted to enjoy little independence,
and when he feels that he is not tres
passer in any way. 1t is not always
most entertaining to discuss private
family affairs before company, and the
guest may show a great deal of discre-
ton in his questions and answers. In
difference to some things is part of the
good manners that Baedeker commends
so highly. Boston Journal.

HOODS CuRES.

In saying that Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures, its proprietors made no idle ex-
travagant claim. The advertising of
Hoods Sarsaparilla is always within the
bounds of reason, because it is true; it
always appeals to the sober, common
sense of thinking people, and it is fully
substantiated by endorsements, which in
the financial world, would be accepted
without moments hesitation.

Hoods Sarsaparilla, all from reliable,

The best of all WAYS

Is to use Pisrce's Purgative Pellets Sir?
For nine tenths of the diseases of the
body begin with constipation or the
clogging up of the sluice-ways, through
which the impurities of the blood es-
cape, SO that they are reabsorbed into
the system. The Purgative Pellets act
gently but thoroughly upon the stomach
and liver, and are the best laxative
known. Without racking and straining
the organs, they open the bowels and re-
store natural, healthy digestion. I'm

almost second nature among the mem

them. One young man of unnis-

avenue palaces the other night by ap-
pearing on the floor Of the ball room
with his well pressed black trousers
turned up snugly around his ankles.

and had forgotten to turn them down

CORSICAN BANDITS.
Dignity Forbids His Being q ME-
RObber.

dignity Forbids HIS Being Nero
Robber.
Bandits have friends in every viii
lage, who supply them with what
they want, and those who have only
taken a life or two out of revenge are
not regarded as criminals. We have
seen girl scarce y out of her teens
flash up with anger if any thing was
said against the vendetta and ex-
claim: "Que voulez-vous? On Maine
pas teur, mails ST on tue les votres"
Being told it was crime to take life,
she shrugged her shoulders and said:
"Qui ne tue pas quequelfoisP"
A bandit in Corsica never robs any
one, but if he wants money he gets it,
not by plundering rich tourists, not by
stopping diligence-this would be
thieving, and altogether beneath his
dignity. He writes strongly-worded
letter to some person with whom he
and his family are at feud, and bids
him send certain sum by given
date, or take the consequences. The
Belle Croscie band, especially during
the last twenty years, has acted as if
the country around belonged to them.
They have almost always insisted
on sharing in the profits of any un-
dertaking which they may have seen
going forward, says the Saturday Re-
view.
Some few years ago the MARIE of
- obtained concession of the
right to fell certain number of
trees in the forest of VizzavonaI
The Belle Croscie heard of this and
demanded a share in the profit. The
MARIE Indignantly refused, but the
two bandits said: "Then we will
shoot any one. who attempts to cut
down single treew 1t was so GER
tain that they would do it that the
trees were left standing. At length
the marie began to think that half a
loaf was better than no bread, and
yielded. That has always been the
way. Every one has yielded, and
though expedition after expedition of
armed men have been sent to the
mountains to capture the two Belle
Croscie, and though the gendarmes
have been eager for the honor and
reward attendant on success, there
has been no success. Antoine Croscie
has waited until the time during
which the law prosecutes for murder
is passed; Jacques will do the same
and governing family in Corsica
will have been founded.
