GEo. II. HEAFFoRD, generalpasseu.
ger agent of the G., M. & St. p. Ry,
has issued one of the most convent
ent little pamphlets of the year, en-
titled Chow to see the Worlds
Fair in six, three or one day" Every
person visiting the fair should have
one. If it's directions are needed it
is sure to do away with bewilder,
ment and save a great deal of time,
and time is money.
VISITORS at the Worlds fair will
be compelled to walk over miles of
territory in order to gain the taintest
idea of the exhibits. A person en-
tering the manufacturers hall, walk
ing at the rate of four miles an hour
and ten hours day, would have to
walk seven days in order to go
through the aisles. If three min
utes were spent at each exhibit it
would take twenty-one years and
three months to go through that
hall alone.
ONE of the drawbacks to wearin 9
of russet shoes is the fact that they
SO easily take on rusty look. An
easy scheme for keeping them clean
and bright is given by one whose
own foot-gear testifies to the value
of his plan. He says; "With a
piece of nice, ripe banana, l can not
only keep russet shoes clean, but
polished as we'll l simply take a
piece of banana and grease the
leather with it, and then polish it
with a cloth. In this way all the
discolorations are removed and a
polish is obtained
A GOOD many people of this city
are postponing their visit to the
Worlds Fair until autumn. They
expect that the exhibition will be in
better shape then than it is now,
They are making a mistake, The
exhibition is practically complete.
The visitor who goes to the fair
now will see all that he would see
if he waited until Sept. or October.
lie will see a very great exhibition,
and a show which in many respects
will not be equalled within the time
Of living men. Moreover, he will
find pleasant weather, and accom-
modations are cheaper and more
abundant than they will be later on.
Whoever can get away now ought
to go.
