Face and an Agreeable MREiner Help.
'iWhat is the first duty of good
traveler?" asked a young lady who
was about to start from New York on
an extended European tour.
"To look pleasant and never to
grumble," was the answer of . veteran
wanderer who had crossed the ocean 20
times and gone twice around the
world.
1t was good prescription, and will
help to make 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 wear
mess that comes from fretting over
what is unavoidable and worrying over
trifes.
An American girl not long ago spoiled
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 serv-
ice was shocking, the officers were un-
civil and the passengers were disagree
able and stupid. Nothing suited her
and she had not good word for any
body. Every member of the party was
Indignant over her want of amiabil-
ity.
1T makes me almost seasick merely
to look at her." 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 South
ampton and London. She pronounced
English cooking to be utterly vile. She
inveighed bitterly against the weather
and the climate. She was not inter-
ested in cathedrals, castles, palaces, pic
lures, colleges, ruins or country roads.
She was bored by everything she saw.
One night she received a round robin
signed by every other member of the
party expressing regret that she was
not enjoying her journey and offering
their sympathies in her yeXations and
discomforts. 1t was bold stroke on
I the part of her friends, who were worn
out by her tiresome peevishnAss. For
| tunately 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 expresses kindness and good
will, make the best passport which a
traveller can carry into foreign coun-
try. They insure civility and courtesy
from officials, fellow travellers and
strangers, and are an unfailing re-
source whenever there is any misad-
venture-Youth's Companion.

The Tahlaa Turned.

Birds, we know, are sometimes train
ed to fire off pistols, as well az to per-
form other unusual feats, hut it is not
often that wild bird in the woods
shoots Il man with his own gun, as re-
lated in "South American Sketches"
by Robert Crawford.
A pavo del monte, a bird of Uruguay
not unlike the turkey, had been winged
by hunter. 1t fell to the ground, but
was at once on it's feet and ran away.
Throwing his gun hastily aside, the
hunter started in pursuit, and game
of hide and seek ensued.
III one of it's doublings and turnings
the bird passed over the gun, which
was lying on the ground. and its foot
CHANGED to strike against the trigger of
the undischarged barrel, the hammer
Of which, in the hurry of the moment,
had been left at full cock.
There was loud report, followed by
an exclamation of pain from the man.
The bird escaped, and the luckless
hunter had an ugly wound in the tieshy
part of his leg to remind him for weeks
afterward of the adventure.
