LONG WALKING
English FaniWjr with Six Children
Walk riT Iluii trtid Mile.
Mrs. Adam Acton, an English lady
who has one rosideuee in St. John's
Wood, London, and another ia Ormi
dalo, Arran, is tho hcroiaoof tho latest
remarkable pedestrian feat-r-a walk
of fivo hundi-ed miles in England and
Scotland, beginning m London and
ending in Glas.2ro'.v. and performed.
not alone, but in the company of her
whole family of six chliJroaTthe eldest
ot wnoin is two! ve years and the young
est twolvo month. .Tne latter, it need
hardly ba said, did not walk tho whole
distance, boing wheeled, in faei, to-
Fgeiher with his feeding bottle and
appurtenances thereto beion jring, in a
buoy carriage Mr 3. Acton, in the
course of conversation with a Scotch
reporter oa the experience of her trip.
remarked: "ion must mvr in mind
that wo had no idea whoa we started of
doing any thing wonderful in walking
tt-r .
w e como up from Lioudon every year
from our house here in Arran; and as
we went down by rail no loss than
nine times last year, we thought wo
would walk this year and see the coun
try, for, of eour.se, you never see any
thing of it from tho window of a rail
way ear.
"Our party consisted of six children,
tho youngo t in our famous baby coach.
which has been, oh, thousands of mileJ
on the Continent and in England nnrl
Scotland, and ray husband and myself
and two maids ten in all. When wo
started from St. John's Wood we each
took a small black bag in our hands;
but we soon had t give these up
Afterward we had absolutely nothing
but a night-gown and a mackintosh
each. Ther was one brush and one
comb for myself and all the children
Vve really couldn't carry more than
the least possible quantity of luggage,
m- . I fli . .
Know. lea-my n us band is so
fond of a cup of tea so we carried
our tea all the way trom London; and
we had a kettle, too; one of those flat
ones to boil over a spirit lamp, and the
spirit lamp itself. And, of course, the
baby, being a young baby and fed on
the bottle, obliged us to carry a tin
can of milk. We had very light fare
As soon as wci got into the North of
England wo always had porridare for
breakfast, u e never had much meat:
on tho only two occasions when we had
really a good dinner, wo found that we
could not walk afterward. We had
eggs and milk, and bread and butto:
to any amount. The meat we had was
almost entirely tinned meat, which we
bought with bread in the town or vil
lage in t!ie morning, and carried with
us till we came to a suitable place for
dinner. W e had dinner in tho open
air always. Then for tea we had just
to call and get a kettle of water and
the use of tea things, which they were
always glad to supply us for a shilling
(twenty-live cents. )
"Of course the trouble was boots,"
Mrs. Aeton continued. "Wo were
recommended all sorts of hygienic
soles, and every thing, and we tried
every thin-. and wo had to z'ivg them
ail up. We gave up boots altogo! her and
took to 'sand shoes' canvas shoos with
Iudia rubber soles. Thoso allow the feet
to go any how they like; there is no
pnrsure and we found thorn admirable.
We never got blisters or sore feet or
any thing. We used to soap our toe.s
and heels and tho inside of our stock
ings before we started; that is a very
good thing. Then as to washing, wo
could not possibly stop to have every
thlug washed at the inns and places.
so the way we managed our washing
was to have one thing washed every
UitTht. We found V.ft P.'V.llH nlnwrc rrf
" o fiV J
one thing washed and quickly got up,
and so we had clean things without the
trouble of carrying any with us. We
carried no umbrellas. But though the
weather was very bad in England wo
did very well without. In tho first
part of tho time we walked in our
mackintoshes and hats that tho rain
would not hurt. Of course it was very
muddy, and, what with the mud and
the rain and the sun, our dress got into
such a slate we were quite ashamed of
ourselves. And on Saturday nights we
had to stop somewhere and buy flowers
or some little frilling or something to
brighten up our hats to go to church
on the next morning. But we never
had colds, in spite of having no um
brellas, and. though we had a great
deal of gray, cold weather that people
complained of. we found it splendid
weather for walking." Cor. Philadel

A fight botween a rattlesnake and
a coach-whip, near Moultrie, Fla.. is
thus described: The ratllesnako
watched his antagonist, but could not
obtain an opportunity to strike.
Thinking that the coach-whip did not
mean business, the rattler then leisurely
uncoiled himself and started to go,
when, quick as lightning, the whip
started for him, seizing him back of
the nock, and wrapped himself tightly
around his body. In ten minutes the
coach-whip leisurely uncoiled himself
and glided away into the underbrush,
leaving the latter a mass of jelly,
quite dead. The rattlesnake had sev
eral rattles, and was a dangerous
looking mdnster.
