Rules for Visiting the Centennial

Rev. Lyman Abbott has been visit
ing the Centennial. /: may be pre-
sumed that he was thus enabled to
suggest the following excellent rules
for persons who may 60 there.
fnt--Go. BY all means, 90 And
take all the children who are over
twelve years old, For it is not mere
show. 1t is Il school, wonderful
school. 1t does not give all the adj
yantages of foreign travel, Tor it does
not show you the country. nor the
people But, on the other hand, You
NAV learn more in a week of the pro
ductions and industries of all nations
than you would be likely to learn in a
years trip around the world 70"
can not afford to stay at home
Wear an old dress for another season,
turn your carpet once more, even
give up your cigars for year or two
but by all means, go.
.Second-The best time to 60 is
either the month of June, or the
months of September and October
Midsummer is too hot ; as yet the
Exhibition is still unfinished. Eschew
fete days. Do not 90 on Fourth OF
July, unless you want to see, not the
Exhibition, but the crowd.
Third-Unlcss you mean to re-
main in Philadelphia more than a
week, write and engage a room be
forehand. Write to your friends, if
you have any. Ifnot, write to some
one of the clearinghouse agencies -
The principal ones we have hereto
fore mentioned Doubtless you will
not be suited. But you will not be
suited if you select your own rooms,
and you will lose day in the opera
ton.
Fowth-Prices vary from five dol
lars a week to five dollars a day, the
frat accommodations probably very
poor, the last certainly very high
Better pay fair price and be within
easy access of the Exhibition, than a
lower price for locations off the cal
routes. The best location. are those
near the steam-car routes. The horse
cars cannot accommodate the crowds
Get rooms and breakfast, or breaktas
and supper. DO not pay for dinner
you will invariably dine or lunch oil
the ground. Take a lunch-basket an(
conveniences with you, if a famil.
party is going.
Ftth-Plan to stay at least week
You can come away sooner if you SCI
it all or get tired. 1t will take a da..
and a busy day to see what tn

can be proftably spent in stady G
details.
Sinth-Some preliminary study
