First national bank of Wellington, o.,
VS. II. p. Chapman, treasurer of Lorain
county. The case involved the validity

The BEST PASSPORT.
when Travelling Abroad n Pleasant
Face and an Agreeable Manner Help.

Face and an Agreeable Manner Help.
'What is the first duty of good
traveler2" asked young lady who
was about to start from New York on
an extended European tour.
ITO look pleasant and never to
grumble," was the answer of a veteran
wanderer who had crossed the ocean 20
times and gone twice around the
world.
1t was good prescription, and will
help to make a 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
iness that comes from fretting over
what is unavoidable and worrying over
trihes.
An American girl not long ago spoiled
the pleasure of a 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 a good word for any
body. Every member of the party was
indignant over her want of amiabil-
ity.
at 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
cha had han,, ot ho nx,oc
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 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 vexations and
discomforts. 1t was a bold stroke on
the part of her friends, who were worn
out by her tiresome peevishnHss. 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
traveller can carry into a 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.

rings never were more fashionable,
and il is the latest fashion to wear
ring on the index finger, and this is
quite as awkward as wearing a circlet
of jewels on the thumb. The ring
most approved at present to wear on
the index finger is large and costly.
1t consists of ruby surrounded with
diamonds. An emerald set in this
same fashion is alSo in vogue. Women
of fashion are also wearing curious an
cient rings, many of which cover three
fingers, after the style of Mrs Mackey
and her S27. 600 ring.

FOUR states are getting ready to go
INTO competition with New Jersey in
the business of Incorporating corpora
tions and trusts. For several weeks
agents from New York, Pennsylvania
and Maine have been here examining
the New Jersey corporation laws, with
a view to adopting many of them to
make the states named more attractive
to corporations and trusts. The little
state of Delaware has already passed a
corporation law which will be even
more attractive to corporations than
the existing laws.
