WALKING COMING IN VOGUE.
English Habit of Pedestrianism Is
Taking Hold in America.
From the Brooklyn Eagle

From the Brooklyn Eagle
Americans are just beginning to learn
what the English people have known Tor
a century, that the most independent anu
interesting outing consists OF a walking
trip Our hurried, restless national spirit
puts US out of sympathy with SO $40"
method of seeing the world The latest
exnress train Is popular, not because 1t
goes through interesting country. but be-
cause 1t arrives at the destination few
minutes or hours ahead of its rival Snort
cuts are our national ambition. The quick
est method of arriving at result Is the
method which instantly appeals to our tenn
perament But we are wrong. And IL
does not require a Ruskin to convince US
of our error. Z<1
Ruskin said the joy Of travel Is in inverse
ratio to it's speed, and experienced railroad
travellers are In sympathy with his dictum.
The railroad has the bad habit of sneakfng
into town or city by the most uninterest-
ing route. Back alleyways. tunnels and
factories are the usual vista seen from
railroad train as it enters some historic
capital. The traveller who obtains his
knowledge of the country from the rail-
road train would know but little of Its
genuine attractions AS Hawthorne said,
he would see only the reverse of the tapes
try.
In preparation for a walking trip maps
and descriptive guide books should be con-
suited, so that the walker may know some
thing of the country through which he Is
travelling The United States geographical
survey, Washington. issues the most COM
prehensive and valuable maps to be had
by the outdoor enthusiast. They show ev-
cry elevation. roads, towns, cabins and
even foot trails. and are sold at the nominal
price of cents a sheet, which sheet gen.
orally covers about ten square miles. The
various trolley companies usually furnish
very readable guide books of the country
through which they go. In the matter of
company, choices are difficult. The smaller
the party the more satisfactory the outing.
Not even living with folks will be as Sc
we're test of their companionship as max
ing a walking trip with them.
Personal differences of opinion and &c
centricities of temper come to the surface
with surprising frequency when one Is
travelling afoot. l have known 50 small a
thing as the loss of a toothbrush to nearly
disrupt a friendly group at the end of
thirty-mils tramp over the Catskills. More
over, accommodations at wayside farm
houses, inns and hotels are difficult to Sc
cure on short notice for a party of any
considerable size. Four makes an ideal
number, and If a larger group Is interested
divide 1t IN two parties, arranging the
route so that meetings may be had at va
rious interesting places along the way. This
affords opportunity for comparison and va
riety No walking trip should be begun by
one who is without some slight training for
the trip. This training does not need to
be severe, but 1t should be regular.

HOUSE OF COMMONS GALLERY.
Accommodations for Press Inadequate
Reporters Summarily Elected. .o,

From the London Chronicle. =. r-.- -
Though no one now questions the right of
the press to report parliamentary proceed
ings, 1t is strange that in this land of lib
erty of speech and freedom of the press 1t
should ever have been possible to exclude
reporters or make their action breach of
the privileges of parliament
Down to the year 1871. however, any
member of the house of commons could at
his mere will and pleasure cause the repre-
sentatives of the press to be summarily
elected by simply rising in his place and
informing the speaker that he 'espied
strangers" The speaker was thereupon
bound to order all strangers to withdraw
including, of course, the reporters.
There are perhaps now only few gallery
inen who can remember those good old
times when, in consequence of such oc-
currences. they were politely removed by
the officials and were left free to spend a
pleasant evening together at a hostelry-
now pulled down-in New Palace yard. In
such cases there was generally some anna
teur reporter among the M. Ps. who fur
nished the newspapers with more or less
accurate accounts of what was said dur
ing the enforced absence of the professional
stenogra pliers.
Individual members Of the house having
however, frequently abused the power to
exclude strangers, the house of commons,
In 1871, resolved that for the future strang-
ers should not be excluded, except after
motion put from the chair without amend
ment or debate and carried by majority.
For long time admission 10 the gallery
was almost exclusively confined to the Lon
don morning and evening papers The pro-
vincial papers were, down to 1868. supplied
with a summary of the debates. In the
eighties some of the great provincial news
papers succeeded in obtaining admission for
their own staff of reporters. and this rem
dered increased accommodation necessary,
which was provided by including In the re-
porters' gallery a portion of the members
gallery on each side of the house. Yet the
accommodation for the press, especially on
big" nights is still totally inadequate. as,
indeed 1t Is In all other parts Of the house.

Hops.
From the London Chronicle.
,s. hons. plccarel and beer,

Turkey carps. hops. piccarel and beer
Came into England all In one year
that is some time in Henry WIS reign.
No one can say exactly when hops-which
are now being harvested In Kent-eame to
be used in brewing: but in the low coun-
tries hoped liquor was drunk from very
early date. From thirteenth century roll
of household charges 1t appears that beer
was then made from oats wheat and bar
ley. used either all together or separately
Two centuries later hoped beer was known
In England, but not from homegrown hops.
Nowadays "ale'' and beer are convertible
terms, but formerly there was q real dis
tinction between the two. Gerard wrote:
THE manifold virtues in hops do mani
testify argue the wholesomeness of beer
above ale:", and so in Johnson's dictionary
''ale'' is "a liquor made by infusing matt
In hot water and then fermenting the u
auor" while beer Is liquor made from
malt and hops" and (the doctor adds
distinguished from ale either by being
older or smaller" Beer" In fact, was
made to keep; ..ale'' was for instant con-
sumption.

which the apple has been habltually taken
as the typical fruit. the name of which is
naturally borrowed in christening all scots
of fruit and vegetables that only remotely
resemble it. DR.. Murray's dictionary gives
an imposing list of them-Jew's apple. dew

BASE Ball.

The Jasper Browns and Ire
Shamrocks played an inter-
eStng game Of ball at the Col

IL was one of those hit and 80
games that are the delight of all
old base ball lovers. The Sham
failed to connect with
.Roelle's curves, and when Capt.
Jessie Colyin had a first class
chance TO catch oneofthe Browns
out he mutfed' the bali. The
Shamrocks played a very good
game at the bat. but were out

Will 90 Our Own a

The last few months OF former.
Ambassador Choate's stay in.
London were taken up largely in.
farewell dinners and social func-
tions, the principal feature of all
of them being mutual tOasting of
England and America. the slap
ping each other on the back, fig
uratively speaking. and ar inter-
change of jolieS.' OF course.
il was all very nice. for its al
ways fair weather when good
fellows get together and GER
tainly the children of Uncle Sam.
and John Bull are good fellows.
Yet some people wondered what
the purpose of it all was. To be.
sure England and America are
good friends. have been for some.
time and intend TO remain SO for
some time 70 come.
WhitelaW Reid is over In Lon
don now as the American Am
bassadOr. Mr.. Reid has always.
been known as rather long on.
dinnerparties. Nothing delights
him more than a post-prandial
stunt. and so il was 20 be eX-
pected that when he succeeded
Mr.. Choate much of the rather
wearisome gust would be repeat
ed. and so it is being. English
men in faultless evening dress,
their stomachs comfortably dis
tended with the viands of the
banquet board and their tongues
running smoothly. have told Mr.
Reid that America is certainly a.
grand country, that they are.
proud of US and that the future.
is even wider Of possibilities than
has been the past. And no one.
could doubt that Mr.. Reid would
do other than reply in kind.
Which IS all very nice again,
but again are some asking. to
what purpose is it all? England
has more fingers in more pies
than has America. England has
more international menaces than
has America, or than America
ever will have. Notwithstanding
the fact that America is world
power and will take a leading
part in the schools of nations
from now on. But America has
no worldwide interests as has
England. Her chief work and
concern will continue TO be within
her own borders. whereas Eng
land must constantly look more
carefully to her vast possessions
on other shores and in other
climes.
The spirit of war is still abroad
in the world. Even should the
Temple of Peace that Mr.. earn
egie and other powers would
build at The Hague be carried
to completion, there is still q
chance that the gun factories AND
ship-yards would be busy. In
view of all which, is it not pos
sible that England is passing hel
best this way for the purpose OF
engaging Us in a compact of some
sort. an alliance defensive anC
offensive? OF course. this pur
pose is not openly mentioned. bu.
who can doubt that should Am
erica show a willingness TO inclin.
an ear to such proposal EnglanI
would make it Immediately
With things as they have alway
been between US. why SHOULD
England so suddenly assume al
excruciatingly chummy attitud
unless she mad some such end j
mind? We like England, low
her in fact. and are glad tina
England likes Us. Other thing
being equal we would fight fC
England as against any othC
