spend over $3.50 to $500 for trips ex.

ten weeks. A young man who is
blessed with stou; legs and good health
can find a way to zee great deal OF

has plenty Of pluck and determ tna.ion.
A young gentleman of Brooklyn a
4 While, ago made ten weeks trip
abroad. He had only $3.50 TO. spepd,
and his purpose was to travel just as
far as he could make his money last.
He first provided himself with Il
round-trip ticket for the cheapest
cabin passage he could find. or course
he could have ecoromized little
further by travelling in the steersge,
but he drew the line there. As he
was able 10 strike out at a gait of
thirty miles day, he walked much OF
the way between London and the
; Scotch Highlands, going up one side Of
England and down the other. Tuen
he Travelled through France to The
Alps, made his way down the Rhine
: to Holland and back again % London,
, where he embarked for home. He
3 spent q week 10 London aud another
in Paris saw the grand opera in tile
. French capital for 81 ceu's and on the
: train Travelled third cisss beth in
! Great Britain and on the conlh emf.
t He reached home with / cents in his
Q pocket and nice little cole :lio', IF
photographs, which he had bought

shows what car, be done 10 :ne way of
economical travelling.
Mr.. Joseph Penneli, W5o rode on his
bicycle owe. considerable part of
Europe, says II his ueW-p,Ea- articles
that his expenses average ii little less
