had To accept this usage, as any one
can see by the frequency OF fOotbridges

done only In game countries, and the
object OF the thOrns set up with great
frequency in the fields is 10 prevent
poachers from dragging them at night
with nets. Wherever this studding OF
the fields with hawthorn stakes occurs
il is proof that game preserving is car

AS one nears the larger towns, espec-
tally the towns which are great

see how fond the English town
workman OF the midland Is OF
a bit OF land, and how i'm the twilight OF
the summer evening he busies himself
with his allotment. He is usually at
work i'm his allotment by half-past
After leaving work he allows himself
about an hour to get home, take supper
and smoke pipe, and then off he goes
to his garden patch. OftentimeS his
wife and children go with him. and
there they stay, all more or less at
work, until darkness drives them home.
The work i'm not especially hard. III Is
done i'm a le.surely way, varied with
little gossip with the proprietors of
neighborinc patches; and where field
of IL on 20 acres is divided into these
garden lots the scent on summer
evening Is about as pleasing as any
scene which presents itself in journey
through the Midlands
It is curious that these garden patch
scenes are more common in the Mid
lands than in the north of England.

OF the woOlen and cotton factory towns
OF Yorkshire and Lancashire. They In
Variably occur. however. i'm the neigh
borhood of a railway centre i'm the Mid
lands where a great railway company
has established its locomotive works or

the fact that railway artisans and
workmen are recruited mostly in the
rural districts and transplanted as 1t
were 10 the towns. while the factory
operatives Of Yorkshire and Lancashire
are toWnbred men, with no strong at
tachment TO the land The English So
cialists sometimes condemn the allot-
ment system. They argue that if
man adds TO his earnings by working
i'm his spare time his employer Will note
his added prosperity and soon offer him
less wages. But whatever there may
be i'm this socialistic argument. the al

Ii certainly adds TO the picturesqueness
and charm OF a twilight journey across

EAST PROVIDENCE.

John ]. Dewitt, Is years old. a cripple,
who lives with his uncle, Thomas +.
Kavanagh. at GO Hospital street. had a
narrow escape from death at 1880 yes
terday forenoon. He was walking along
Washington bridge on his way TO visit
his uncle, John ]. Kavanaugh, on Sec
ond street, when he heard the report of
n gun, but paid little or no attention TO
IT, A second or two later he felt
blow on the right side OF his breast,
Just i'm front of his arm, and TO this
also he paid but little attention, until
he reached the home of his uncle. He
told his aunt that he felt something
queer on his side. and finally persuaded
his aunt to make an examination, ana
che found that the skin had been
broken and scratched, there being
spot as large as an old fashioned cent.
Mrs. Kavanaugh could not understand
noNN such a wound could have been
made. neither could the boy. and IL was
not until his heavy REFER was eX-
amined that the story was told, Tor
there was a bullet hole through the
coat. and this was the case with all of
the clothing worn upon that part OF
the body. After some talk the boy re-
membered that he had heard report
OF a gun, and it is probable that the
shot was from the vicinity of Fort Hill.
No serious results are anticipated.

night all right for at 1880 there was
heard unearthly shoutings. In less than
10 minutes 200 persons were attracted
To the suot. or at least near the spot
from whence came the shouting, and
il was learned that James Seaver was
i'm the water His brother. English
Jack" was doing what he could TO save
him. but others helped him. so John
was soon fished out and laid out for
dead DIR. Allison was called and soon
revived him. He would not tell any
one how ne happened To fall i'm. and all
that he would say was that he was per-
fectly sober He was partially dressed
when taken from the water.
