WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

To traverse all the corridors, gal leries and distance brtween the build- ings at the Fair would cover I50 miles
 The famous Blaney stone, which for centuries occupied d place in the walls of historic old Blarney Castle in Ireland. has arrived at the Worlds Fair. It was shipped by Lady Aberdeen and will form one of the attractions ut her Irish village. It will be placed in the walls of the reproduction Blarney Cas- tie, which forms a part of the Irish viii lage, where it may be kissed by all who have the hardihood to be lowered head down to where 1t is to temporarily rest
 A woman just returned from Chicago, and quoted Tn the N. |. Times. says: Take an outing flannel loose gown with you to the Fair. It will serve you on the sleeping car going and coming, andWlll be invaluable to rest in. While there, make 1t q rule to leave the grounds every day to get to your room by o'clock, then loosen your clothes, discard some of them, and, in your | gown, take an hours solid rest on bed or sofa, then leiSurely dinner, and you will feel fresh to write on your note book and make up the plan for next days sight seeing before all early bed time. got to the Fair every day at 9:30, went about continually except d | half hours rest at luncheon, left at 4:30, and staid ten days without serious fatigue. 1 wore big shoes that were not new, and 1 alterilated two pairs day by day, finding much relief in this simple expedient. The distances about the grounds are memorable. They can not be traversed at random. A map and guide-book should be bought before leaving home, and daily itin- erary laid out, i'll order that not d single step need be retracted or even Il short distance gone over second time
 When you feel yourself giving ou, take wheel chair for all hour. 1t is money well expended, and refreshes one very much. A careful diet is an. other thing to be considered during q stay in Chicago. It is the conlmonesl digestive law that the stomach sympa thiseS closely with bodily fatigue, but most persons recklessly disregard this when away from home. Nearly every body has some food limitations and knows perfectly well that there certain things in common table use which ht may not eat with impunity. The average traveller is apt to consider himself relieved from such embargo when. in fact, he should exercises d greater caution than at an other time. Persons should consider visit tt the Fair in it's proper light-a tremen dous and unnatural tax upon oDe's phy sical strength and vital forces. Econo my of both is a serious necessity"
 One of the most remarkable facts oticeable among the great influx Ol visitors to the Fair is their keeI interest in the great city, her past history and present wonderful growth, and the marvellous rebuilding that has taken place since Chicago was swept away by the flames of the fire of 1871 1 This is nowhere more manifested than at the Cyclorama of the Chicago Fire
 Michigan Avenue and Madison St., l where the beautiful effects that the artists have secured m painting the I great cOnflagraton are like nothing ever yet shown in cycloramic work;- the burning embers. hurled through the air by the hurricane that was blowing on that memorable October day, ths topping walls, portions of which are shown in mid air blown there by an eX- plosion of giant powder, clouds of ruddy hue, tinted by the flames, the shadows of which are dancing on the doomed buildings-all so realistic as to be startling in their effect, aad one can almost imagine the work Of des- truction tO be at the moment going on. The visitor to Chicago will find this one of the most interesting exhibitions in the city.
