Persons accustomed to gaze in awe upon suit-cases and
steamer-trunks covered with labels of every size and color,
thinking the while enviously of the fortunate owners of such
baggage, who have such an advantage over the poor stay-at-homes,
may perhaps be surprized to learn that there are shops where
such labels may be had.
It is quite feasible, therefore, for any one to have his case
or trunk covered with nicely worn labels, indicating that the
owner thereof has roamed from Sydney to San Francisco; from
Copenhagen to Colombo, to say nothing of all the capitals of
Europe and Asia, with divers famous water-places thrown in for
good measure.--_Harper’s Weekly._
