The tourist having made up his mind for a trip, has three indispensable things to arrange-his baggage, his money, and his passport. On these points we may repeat the suggestions given in another volume.* "As to baggage, there is a short and golden rule, which is,―Take as little as possible. The man of many packages becomes a slave to them. On steamboats, on railways, in seeking inns and on leaving inns, his luggage becomes a source of anxiety, annoyance, and loss." Mr. Albert Smith, whose experience as a tourist every one will be ready to acknowledge, gives some very shrewd and practical hints to those who are about to set out for a foreign trip.
