Queer Pedestrian Feat.

Few men at the age of 81 would caro-
to emulate the feat of an Englishman.
John Alcock, who recently walked
backward from Macclesfield to Bux-
ton, a distance of twelve miles, under
three and a quarter hours. But the
feat, remarkable as it is, does not APP
proach that of old Macleod, another
English pedestrian, who, at the age OF
iG2 undertook on Oct. 8, 1880, to walk
from Hyde Park corner, London, e.,
tie fifth milestone on the Turnham
Green road and back in two and a half
hours. Heavy bets depended on the
result, and when the old man leaped
over several heaps of mud on his re-
turn journey to show his sprightliness
objection was raised on the ground
that Jumping was not walking. This
point being insisted upon, the old man
turned back, walked where he had
jumped and completed his task in two
hours and tweEty-thfee minutes.

The ancient kitchen in the rear OF
the store was long since subdivided
into various apartments, one of which
is a bedroom; another, containing the
old fireplace, being now merely a de-
pository for barrels of rubbish.
The old kitchen fireplace. about
five feet high by seven feet long, has
been bricked up, and it would require
great exercise of the Imagination to
portray it as it looked when Mrs. Re-
we're was wont to hustle about prepar-

been devoted to a variety of uses.
The earliest changes were probably
made half a century ago, when the
house was a popular boarding place
for Cape Cod sea captains, and no
doubt had good, substantial, # plain

of such a respectable and healthy set
of patrons.

PAUL REVERE'S HOME
OLD ABODE OF THE
DILAPIDATED CONDITION.

Paul Revere's house in Boston il
sadly in need of repair The ravages
of time are visible to even the most
causual observer and unless some
thing is done speedily to preserve it
those who value it as a relic of revo-
lutionary times will see the last of it
The house was probably 100 years
old when Revere purchased it, some
years prior to the Revolution, and nat
urally the ravages of time, combined
with the varying requirements of a
constant succession of unsympathetic
tenants have brought the ancient
structure to a condition in which it
no longer has charms as dom1c1le
even for the most enthusiastic patriot;
hence it has ceased to be remunerative
and is likely to be Improved of the
earth at almost any time in the near
future

must be annoyingly Inadequate.
The little stuffy store in which Paul

During an encampment of the Ma

PARTY of officers went out for a stroll

they were met by the farmers daugh-
