of railways and politics, OF making elo-

ture American president, and so on--if he
tires OF these things, what newspaper
man ho would make!

very distinctly of the benefit In health to

"We have little TO attract thom but our
scenery, which Is unsurpassed-none OF
those things which the centuries have

as said before, and young people can
not possibly have the attractions for visit

find on the part Of Europeans q disincli-
nation to undertake long journeys. We
Americans think nothing Of tho trip Of
5000 miles across the Atlantic However,
have little doubt that the amount Of
European travel to America will, in the
