... ' >ie Washington Fust of last Tt. "day concedes editorially that In anajKilis is the greatest literary ce 'er in America. Its tribute to th> Hoosier capital was called forth b> an editorial iu the Worcester Gv/ette, complaining because the sc. ol board of that town went to Evansville, Ind., to select an assistant superintendent of schools. The Worcester paper said with a set er: ‘ \\ e have to go to wild and woolly Indiana wheu we want something that is really good.’’ To this the Post replies: “Just a word about ‘Wild and Woolly ludiana.’ Has not the ■Gazette learned that Indiana pops ruperseded Boston years ago as the literary metropolis ot United State."! The world knows it by heart. Bos ton’s literary greatness—and it was real greatness —is under ground, a thing of the past, while the glory of Indianapolis and the state for ■which it stands is in splendid trui tion. “The halo that onee was Boston’s surrounds the deserviug head of the Hoosier capital. Not that iu literature Indianapolis is the equal of what B.iston was, but that she is far in the lead of any other aspirant or primacy.”

▲RE YOU GOING ABROAD? The following interesting article from the pen of cine who has traveled extensively in all foreign CdariWies, and therefore ‘‘one who knows," is quoted for the benefit of such of our readers as contemplate a trip abroad: There is no time In one’s life so replete with interesting and highly pleasurable incidents as that spent in traveling through woTld. 'The leautiiul panoramas that hold one's vision while passing from village to village and" the quaint signts in the • cities, so different from our type, furnish food for recollections and descrip'tive stories for years after. "One who lias not been abroad cannot realize how his ideas of life are broadened and how much education he receives yvJlth a few months’, or even a few weeks', contact with the people and the ways ur.d tanners of the European countries. I have traveled ail over Europe several times during the past few years ar.d each time, find something new, something instructive and interesting, and I strongly advise every American to spend a few months of his lifetime in the foreign countries, for pleasure as well as for education. It is wise to visit the steamer a day or two before sailing and get the head tO: reservfttablet " Also see the deck and rent a steamer chair which will cost one dollar and will bo'the'best Investment of the voyage. Do not forget to buy a warm steamer rug before going abroad for even in midsummer it is likely to be cold on the'ocean. Ladies will find their gossamers comfortable during rainy or rough weather. A fulj outfit of winter clothes, including undergarments, is necessary as a safeguard against the cold days. M n should take their light overcoats and warm gloves. For women a winter walking suit of dark color, a heavy cape or ulster, stout walking shoes, thick gloves and a yachting cap or soft felt "hat wilt be desirable. It is well also to take along a rain coat, rubbers and an umbrella, for rainy days in Scotland and elsewhere. A silk waist to wear at the Captain's dinner and on other more or less for-c n.a 1 occasions will be a comfort to the feminine, hearts —These and- all other needful things for two persons can easily be packed into one steamer trunk, "one large suitcase - and one carryall. And, oh, yes! Don’t forget your camera. Baggage for—Steamship Passengers s'.ouid be distinctly marked with name of passenger, steamer, date of sailing, and number of stateroom; also whether ‘ wanted" or “not wanted" by passeng< rs in their staterooms during the voyage. Labels and tags for this purp se will be furnished by the steamship companies upon application. Trunks for use in staterooms during ti,ip. if not over 13 inches high, 2 feet wide and 3 feet long, will fit under berths. Twenty cubic feet of baggage (about 300 lbs) is allowed each adult cabin passenger by the various steamship iines. Hand baggage, if carried in compartment with the Traveler, is transported free by almost all European Railroads. Of course, the question of spending money on such a trip is foremost in the minds of people who are not millionaires, and next to having the money to spend ft Is _ important to know what arrangements to make to carry your funds while traveling without. danger of loss or theft or overcharge in exchange. I have found in all my years of travel that the best mode of carrying money in traveling abroad is in the shape of American Express Company’s Travelers Cheques. These cheques can be purchased of any agent of the company- or of your bank. The reason that I recommend them is that you have no trouble in getting your money, as they are accepted by all Banks, Merchants and Hotelkeepers, and the cheques show on the face just how much money you should get In any country In Europe. I have used them without the least trouble even in such remote and strange lands as Palestine, India and Japan. The money of the different countries is not difficult to understand if one remembers simply that four English shillings or four German marks or five French francs or Italian lire are the equivalent of a dollar. Each of these coins resembles a silver “quarter" of our own money, while the six-pence and half franc look so much like a dime that they also seem familiar. For a rapid trip trough Europe the guide book published by Baedeker is most useful. The American Express Company also publishes a valuable booklet entitled "Notes and Facts of Interest to Travelers,” which they send free upon application, giving maps of principal cities abroad, directions and cab fares in large cities, overland routes and fares, tables of foreign moneys, time-tables and other valuable Information, which travelers should obtain before leaving this country. The American Express Company also maintains a Railway Ticket Department in London and Paris, where travelers can obtain at a reduction of about 30 per cent from regular fares, circular or Rundreise tickets over all European railroads. I can recommend in every respect their service In this department. Itching, torturing Bkin eruptions, disfigure, auuoy, drive oue wild. Doaus Ointment brings quick relief and lasting cures.
