If man resolves to take vacation
afoot in or on the White Mountains,
Catskills, Adirondacks. Berkshires, Con-
necticut Valley, the Hudson, or through
the mountain districts of Virginia and
the Carlofnas-not that there is any lack
of other walking grounds, but these are
easy to reach from New York-he will do
wisely, in case he is green or out of
practice, to take measure of his
strength as pedestrian before he starts.
Walking comes by nature to some. while
there are Others who cannot he moved

and but an ordinary muscular develop

with little fatigue.
Before setting out it is proper to
do a little all-around practice. If
knocked out by ten miles in town
the aspirant certainly must not ex-
pect to do twenty miles in the country

kgoing, he should begin temporarily and
increase his daily distance as he feels that
he is able.

such office as premier or prime minister
it is simply title bestowed on the
head of the cabinet, and he holds one
or two offices, as may suit him. Mr..
Gladstone is lord privy seal and first
lord of the treasury. Next to him in
rank, if rank there be. for it is all as
their convenience may require, are
Earl Rosebery, foreign secretary;
Baron Herschell. lord chancellor: Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, chancellor Of
the exchequer, and Herbert h. Asquith,
home secretary. There are twenty
two members of the present cabinet,
and may be more if Mr.. Gladstone sees
st to invite other heads of departments
to seats in the council.
Right. Hon. John Morley Is rather
more prominent than his rank would
indicate, as he is chief secretary for
Ireland. and the same may be said of
Sir Charles Russell, attorney general.
On these two will fall the principal labor
of arranging the details for the home
rule for Ireland bill, which is to be the
leading measure of the Gladstone adj
ministration. Much vexation is ex-
pressed by the so-called radicals, or
democrats, that no one of their wing of
the liberals was invited to place in
the cabinet. The home secretary, Mr.
Herbert FL. Asauith, will have a
temporary interest for Americans, be-
cause a strong pressure will soon be ex-
erted on him from this country to Sc
cure pardon for Mrs. Maybrick, the
American woman now in an English
prison on conviction of having poisoned
her husband.

A torahawk said to have belonged TO
the famous Indian chief Tecumseh is
now in possession of Mrs. Lizzie Skin

of the Thames, north of Lake Erie, in
Ontario, in which the warrior was
slain, New York soldier, named John
Hanes. despoiled the fallen redskin. and
subsequently gave the weapon to John
Bramble, who died last December. 1t
then passed into the hands OF Mrs.
Skinner in compliance with the wish
of its last owner. The Ratchet is said
to be half English, half Indian in its
shape. Doubts are evidently enter
tanned as to its genuineness by some
of the western editors who tell the
story.

Fine Specimen of Sham Latin.

Perhaps one of the best Of the numer-
Gus class of sham Latin inscriptions was
one which appeared some time ago in .
Dublin paper. 1t was antique Latin, :"
as follows:

This purported to have been found
near the site of a church dedieaAed to
1.-The saint known to the old chroniclers
as Uncatus Ambulans."
The Latin" inscription was in reality
an absurd rhyme:

done in his room. In order to show
himself to the people he placed the
foot of the cross upon the window sill,
which was very low, and by pressing
his fingers against the floor he gradually
drew himself forward until, the foot of
the cross overbalancing tho head, tho
whole machine tilted out of the window
and hung by the two ropes fastened to
the beam. He then nailed his right
hand to the arm of the cross. but
could not succeed in fixing the left,
although the nail by which it was TO
be fixed was driven through until half
of it came out on the other side.
After hanging thus an hour he was
noticed, detached from the cross and
put to bed. he ~recoveredofrom the

60 on belated yachting trip and shiver
on deck in rugs for week. Possibly he
will go to q remote city and get change
of newspapers, theaters and dust. And,
again, he may take a walk. There are
moro people who walk now than iwalked
twenty years ago, and that in spite of the
bicycle. Formerly, if man were to in
quire in any country place how far it was
to the next town some such conversation
as this would occur:
Stranger-How far is IL to Peckvillei
Nstive-Oh, I dunno. Bout half An

And he goes down to the grocery and
kells about it.
Those times are gone, except in remote
backt counties, and a man with a light
satchel on his shoulder, a staff in his
Rand, even let MIN wear cork helmet,
will attract no more notice in New Eng
land village than he would get if he came
anto town on wagon. Aunt Miranda
will put up her spectacles as he strides by

'78, and her daughter will look out of the
window and say that it isn't bit like

shed like to know what fun there is in

Yet the fact is, there's a good deal of

mot SO young they were once, can try

TO be within reach of a railroad, and it is
easy to quit.

EARLY ANCHOR OF THE LAKES

was not uncommon on trading vessels
On the upper great lakes in 1792. The
anchor is about five feet across from tip
to tip Of the fukes and about four feet
high. It is regarded as picturesque
relic Of early navigation. Three of the
legs are part of the stump which
forms the head. The fourth leg, in
front, is movable and is secured by an
iron bar shown in the picture. This
was moved outward in order to fill the
basket with stones and then pushed
back into place and nailed in again

ought to be change, and the name OF
Mueller substituted therefor.

A peculiar thing is noticed in this

said word in favor of any of the
county candidates on the republican
ticket, excepting possibly the candi-
date for representative. How is this?
Is Morg. waiting to be "seen," or have
the candidates requested him to re-

lister is almost sure to bring unfortu-
nate results to the men it advocates?
