ENGLISH lNNKEEPERs.
Said to Be Mainly Doors Who Treat Pa
 irons as Intruders.


 Ii your pocketboolS allows or fate or the desire to see the country compels you to remain in England, there are parts where you can ride on your wheel with great satisfaction and at great ex- pense. Nothing could be more beautiful than the midlands, lovelier than the counties that surround London, but westward go no farther than Bristol or Truro, northward than Chester, avoid ing Manchestef-that is, unless you meau to 20 still farther north into Scot land, which at times will repay your enterprise. The southwest is largely to be avoided Cornwall and Devon have the worst roads in civilized Europe-in fact, the reads and inns explain that the country is not and never has been civilized ln the inns you are often treated as Gn intruder, and sometimea cheated in fashion that would bring a blush to the cheek of Swiss landlord, for the emptiness of the larder the bill makes up in layishness. There is hard that and salt bacon and ancient eggs you are asked to pay IS much as for a good dinner at the Cafe Royal The inn keepers are mainly boors
 As for the roads. they go straight to the top Of all the hills, as uneompro- misingly as the roads If Bohemia, then drop down the other side and are unrid- able nn both directions When not climbing lrecipitately. they lie buried at the bottom Of ditch They are shadeless and uninteresting rarely ap- preaching the seacoast er passing near anything that is worth looking at. and yet We know inglishmen who are pro- foundly impressed with the belief that they are the best in England, and there fore in the world The roads, inns and nlnkeepers Of Scotland are in every way better. but the fact that the average Briton spends his holiday on the conti- nent when he can proves not only that he wants 10 get there, but also that he is driven from his own country by the shortsightedness of the people who keep its inns and look after its roads.-Mr and Mrs Pennell in Fortnightly Review
