THE BOYS OF GREECE.
A well-known writer who has been visiting Greece has formed a very hic_ opinion of the Greek boys...' " They are always, he says," ready to be useful, and always glad to help strangers out of little difficulties. They will run errands and make purchases, and will bring back the change of any purchase money entrusted to them. They will wait and deliver a long message to a friend with whom you have been unable to keep an appointment. They will act as guides and conduct vo_ to any place you wish to go to. In brie, they like to bo of use, and are ready and willing to do anything for anybody quite in the spirit of our Boy Scouts; and-the remarkable thing is that they do everything. for nothing, and do not ask or expect tips and rewards.
Such boys are truo patriots, for thev give tourists and foreigners a good impression of their native land.
