On the subject of travel there is one
remark that is heard in America very
often; and the man who makes it al
ways prides himself on having said
something original and something very
bright. Here is the noss-covered re-
mark: Before l see Europe 1 want to see
all OF my own country. 1t sounds patri-
otto and fine, doesn't it? But the man
who remarks this remark has been
cheated out Of his trip to Europe, and
his remark is only sour grapes; but the
people who listen often believe it wise.
The truth is that three months tour
of Europe is worth more to a young man
or woman than three years steady
travel in America. We all know a good
deal of our own country-even if we
stay at home, the people Of the land
troop past our door; but to see the Gull
ture of France and Italy is to have an
impression made on you that years can
not efface nor time destroy; it gives q
point Of comparison that a drummer,
who knows the United States from
Maine to Mexico, never possesses. 1 be-
