 Josiah Flynt, who has given interest ing studies on tramp life in. Germany and in this country, has extended his investigations to England. He writes a paper entitled Two Tramps in Eng landn in the Century. He and his com panion, n German student, completed tour through the provinces with an experience in a casual at Noting Hill, London. Mir. Flynt writes;
 We appeared at the door of the ward about half-past seven in the evening. A little window was raised, and stepped forward to state my business. Uncon- sciously l leaned against the sill of the window, which offended the inspector in charge considerably.
 Whats your name?' he thundered. Still leaning on the sill, 1 gave him my name honestly enough He then re- marked to some person inside that we were not accustomed to such places, evidently, and called out: Stand back, will you!' Back 1 stood. He cried out again: Take off your hat.' My hat came off instanter Still again; You come in here like meeleeonary. You're not; you're casual" l was as meek as could well be. Ryborg was itching to grab the inspector with his long arms. The next question was as to where we had slept the night before.
 "Strawstacll," l replied.
 None of your insolencc! You slept out--why don't you say so? Have YOU got any money?'
 A hapenny, sir.
 Hand it in. In it went. Then l had to tell my trade, which was that of a sailor; and naturally the next ques- ton was as to where l was bound.
 TO Ameriky, sir, if l can ever get thcren
 You're goin' to trampit, aren't you?
 ''Ycs. sir; that's my intention;' but for the life of me could not sec how l was to reach America that way. ] was so frightened that l would have told him anything he wanted.
 When he was through with us, a kind-hcarted attendant took us in hand, gave us some grucl and bread, bath, clean night-shirts, and then a cell apiece, in which we slept very well.
 As there were only four inmates that morning, we were needed for the clean. ing up, and so escaped stone breaking, which l dreaded exceedingly, and were put at various light occupations--or rather 1 was, Ryborg was the victim of his strength. Our breakfast con- sisted of the same dish as our supper the night before l was soon busy as general fireman, acrnbbcr, ltnifc-clean' CT, coal-carrier. dish-waShCr, and help CT of my sistcr-sufferer, Mrs. Murphy, as she washed her task of towels and shirts. At noon we had pea-soup and bread. l enjoyed it, but Ryborg did not. The poor fellow was feeling badly. he had had 10 scruD nearly twenty cells, and the bending over incident to such d feat had nearly broken his back. At dinner he said plaintivcly; "Flynt, l want to go home 50 do l, l re- piled; but 1 fancy we're wanted here til tomorrow morning. This proved to be the case; but he felt better in the afternoon, and got through comfort. ably, wheeling nearly 8 ton of stone from some of the cells to the general pile. He earned his keep, if ever any poor prisoner did.
 fear ] was more shiftless, for about the middle of the afternoon the attend. ant who was with me at the furnace said: You might as well rest; just keep your eyes on the fires, that's all.' It was kind of him; and as l had at least earned my pea soup and grucl, tool, his advice. He was kinder tO me, l think, because I gave him eorn-cob pipe which he had had to take away from me the night before During the day he had asked me several questions about it, and I said: "lts a very de cent sort of pipe-coolin'-like, you know.
 Doesn't Mark Twain always smoke one O them pipes?' said he.
 "Blest if I know said l, but can well thinl, 1t"
 I'm great friend of Mark Twain, he pursued; an I'm a-thinlEin' O get tin one O them pipes, jest out of re. spect for him.
 Well" said I, permit me, in the name of your respect, to present you with my pipe; besides, you've got it anyhow"
 On Wednesday morning we were turned loose with our two ha'pennies, l We were both so happy that we decid. 1 ed to get of the road that very day.
 We had been tramps for three weeks | and had walked most of this time fully fifteen miles a day; so we looked up my friend at the Temple, and in few 1 hours were respectable again. That same day took my tramp clothes out to the casual ward, and presented them { to my friend the attendant l had told l him the day before that expected tc 1 get new "togs" soon, and he had put in plea for my old ones, Good luck tc ] him and them.
