SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Why IteietTo cf Manner Is Xnavltnhlo In
Ktcii tho lwlndllist of City l'olk.
Xho season of summer boarding nnd travel
gives occasion to many complaints and criti
cisms against thoso who do not show cor
diality enough to sf rangers. In considering
this subject, with special rofercuco to man
ners nt watering places, Harper's llazar gives
tho following among lessons for this stnto of
things:
It is to bo noticed that this complaint Is
niado to n lorgo extent by tlio country
against tho city.
Now It U inovitablo that tho kindliest poo
plo living in cities should fall Into n greater
reservo of manner toward strangers than
that developed In tho country, whero pcoplo
know all about their neighbors. In n city
you cannot nod to everybody you meet on
tho street; thcro Is not tlmo for It. You can
not oven call outhoso who llvo in tho sam
block with you. You may bo living In t'ua
next houso to n professional gambler nnd
havo no means of ascertaining tho fnct. All
theso things produco In toplo from cities a
habit of morogunrded lutcrcourbc, which is
certainly less pleasant than tho kindlier
country way, but Is not easy to lay aside,
Aain, tho mcro possession of a now acquaint
ance, as such, Is a privilege to ono who habit
ually lives an isolated Hfo, but is not n thing
so eagerly destrod by thoss who llvo In a
crowd all tho tlmo, nnd liavo rather to ac
quire tho habit of defending themselves
against numbers. Indeed a great deal of
'what is called hospitality in thinly sottled
regions nnd new communities has no especial
unselfishness about It; wbcro noighbors and
guests aro few It is really tho visitor who
confers tbo favor1. To givotho pleasuroof
his company becomes in that caso phroso of
somo meaning.
But abovo all It is to bo remembered that
thcro are always a great mauy pooplo, num
bering, perhaps, even tho majority of sum
mer visitors, who go to tho country or tho
sea shoro for rest and quiet, not for ex
citement or novelty. They aro overworked
all tho rest of tho year in our busy America,
and it is only when away from homo that
thoy find tho possibility of quiet. It Is hard
to seo why this pursuit of pcaco is not n thing
in itself as Innocent as tbo s;nrch for gayoty,
and as much to bo respected.
In conclusion, tho authority quoted nfflrmj
that wo aro coming to rccogulzo tho right of
social self defense, a right which hardly has
tho vestlgo of recognition In a mining town,
whero n mini thinks It rensounblo to shoot
you unless you drink with him; but which,
whou fully recognized, Mill also allow a
summer boarder to select his own intimates.
This right can never Justify rudeness, but it
may sometimes justify a llttlo modest seclu
sion, Correcting SlUtukcs In Others.

Jams' California Pear Cider.
This delicious sumtrer beverage Is mndc In California, from very ripe mellow
Bnrtlett Pears. In the height of the ripening kcaion many tons of pears become too
ripe for shipping or canning purpotcs, they can then be utnllzcd by pressing them Into
cider. The fresh juice Is boiled down two gallons into one, nnd is then strained through
pulverized char coal. This hcntlng, condensing and straining completely dcilrojs fer
mentation, nnd the cider ever afterwards icmains sweet and good and Is a most healthy
and nutritious article for family use.
Knowing there ore many spurious ciders sold In this market wc offer the ahov
explanation with the eminent testimonial of Prof, J. II. Long. Very Respectfully,
THE G. M. JARVIS CO., Sole Proprietors,
San Jose, California. 39 N. State Street Chlcag..
Chicago, Jtiiy 7th, 1887.
THE G. M. JARVIS CO., Gentlemen:
I hnve made made n chemical cxanilnnllon of Ihc sample of Jnrvis Pear Cider
submitted to me n few days ngo, nnd would report these points among otheis noted.
'1 he liquid is non-alcoholic and has n specific gravity of 10.65. 'Die tolnl cstrac
tivc matter amounts to 10.25 per cent., containing only .025 per cent of free ntid. The
tests show this add to be malic acid ns usualh found in fruit juices. I find no other
acid or foreign substance added for color or lutor.
I believe it, therefore, to conris.t (.Imply of the juice ot the Pear ns represented.
Yours truly,
J. II. LONG, Amih, Ileal Chemist,
Chicago Medical College.
