THE BEST PASSPORT.
It Is to Always Look Pleasant and Do No
 Grumbling.

@~e~oeN-A~
 Grumbling.
 What is the first duty of a good traveler?" asked a young lady who was about to start from New York on an ex- tended European tour.
 ITO look pleasant and never to grum- ble, " was the answer of veteran wan- derer who had crossed the ocean 20 times and gone twice around the world.
 1t was a good prescription and will help to make 8 good traveller of any novice. The fatigue of the longest jour- ney can be patiently endured if one can only be amiable and avoid the weari- ness that comes from fretting over what is unavoidable and worrying over trifies.
 An American girl not long ago spoil ed the pleasure of party of tourists by complaining of everything on sea and on land. The ship was dreadful roller, the cabins were badly ventilated, the cooking was abominable, the service was shocking, the officers were uncivil, and the passengers were disagreeable and stupidl Nothing suited her, and she had not a good word for anybody. Every member of the party was indig nant over her want of suitability.
 ''It makes me almost seasick merely to look at herl'' exclaimed one of the ladies.
 Perhaps she will cheer up, was the charitable response, ''when she reaches port.
 But she was as unhappy on land as she had been at sea. She was angry with the customs officers and told them that they had mauled and ruined her best gown. She found fault with the lovely rural scenery between Southamp- ton and London. She pronounced Eng fish cooking to be utterly vile. She in- weighed bitterly against the weather and the climate. She was not interested in cathedrals, castles, palaces, pictures, colleges, ruins or country roads. She was bored by everything she saw.
 One night she received round robin signed by every other member of the party, expressing regret that she was not enjoying her journey and offering their sympathjes in her vexations and discomforts. It was bold stroke on the part of her friends, who were worn out by her tiresome peevishness. Fortunate ly it was not unsuccessful. Not another word of complaint was heard from her during the remainder of the tour.
 A pleasant, cheerful face and man. ner that express kindliness and good will make the best passport which a traveller can carry into 8 foreign coun- try. They insure civility and courtesy from officials, fellow travellers and strangers and are an unfailing resource whenever there is any misadventure. Youths Companion.

Blood Poison.

Contagious Blood Poison has been ap- propriately called the curse of mankind. It is the one disease that physicians can. not cure; their mercurial aud potash remedies only bottle up the poison in the system, to surely break forth ill more virulent form, resulting ill total wreck of the system.

THE FAULTS AND FOLLIEs OF THE
 AGE

Are numerous, but Of the latter none is more ridiculous than the promiseuous and random use of laxative pills and other drastic cathar- ties. These wrench conyulse and weaken both the stomach and the bowels. If Hos. tetter's stomach Bitters be used instead of these no remedies, the result is accompl shed without pain and with great benefit to the bowels. the stomach and the liver. Use this remedy when constipation is manifested, and thereby prevent it from becoming chronic.
