Too fifv of tlie li'iyd who ejifii 1 their vacation in the viMerne-s3 study care fully enon-pi t ho methods adopted by pcr.sous jf extensive camping t'Xierieuce. Thero i.s no pleasure in a holiday spent in the wildenie.-js unless the campers umler.-tand how toinake themselves coin fortable and to avoid the confusion and tli.scoiiifid-t.s which fall to tho lot of tho ordinary ireeiiiiorn. Vet tho whole thing is very easy to learn. For those who do not want to think out tlie subject for themselves let me ve a few KU'estions as the result of my own experience for a number of years of camp life, as well as the experi ence of a luro number of friends of mine. 1 always use a Norfolk jacket called in this country Oxford jacket, or beked coat made loose, of strong hotnefpun and capable of being worn open when it is warm, or belted tight when the weather is cold. 1 his coat looks quite epoi tsinanliko. The cap is a matter of choice, but I like best the deer 6talker, which receives in this country the rather obvious name of fore-and-after. It should be of the bame color and material as the coat. To be thoroughly de rigueur for wild life the camper should wear homespun or corduroy knickerbockers, with black or gray stockings, unless the region where he places his camp is badly plagued by mosquitoes, when he had better wear trousers, as the fly pests will put their bills clean through the stock ings. The stockings should be of wool and ribbed. For lying about the camp, canoeing boating or light tramping, thin yellow leather and sometimes canvas shoes might be use"l, but for all heavy work there is nothing like a solid boot, roomy, with wide sole and wide heel, laced tightly about the ankle and resembling the old fashioned English shooting boot. For underwear woolen is far the best, because, while not over warm, this ma terial rapidly throws off all moisture. should advise wool for outer as well as inner shirts, and the former should be of a color which will not too easily show stains. The drawers should be of the same material as the inner shirt. Two inner and two outer shirts, two pairs of drawers and, if possible, two pairs of trousers or knickerbockers or better still, a pair of each with one jacket, will be sufficient. Don't forget handkerchiefs, light socks, and any kind of belt that you prefer. THE KIT. De careful in making up your kit. If you have long and rough travel and any portaging never take a box, no matter how many patents are attached to it or now convenient it may look on the tradesman's counter. It is inconvenient to carry in a boat and impossible to carry through the woods. I know noth ing better than a good substantial bag, made of oiled canvas, thoroughly water tight, and arranged so it can be laced snugly together. 1 nave seen leather bags also which served the purpose ad mirably. Each camper requires a pair of blan kets, gray or dark red; the clothing 1 have mentioned, say, two large crash towels, soap, small hand glass, comb and brush, tooth brush and paste, needles, thread, thimbles and buttons, a couple of pairs ot old kid gloves, a pair of scissors, pocket knife, belt sheath and sheath knife, a small bottle of arnica, bottle of Jamaica ginger, a "book" of court plas ter, a bottle of citrate of magnesia in powder, and two or three bottles of lax ative pills, as advised by physician. I would not advise spirits, except a bottle of excellent brand', to be used only after a severe wetting and when there are indications that a cold has set in. If you propose to camp at some place far away from a grocery store you must, of course, take your provisions along, and here comes the most troublesome part of your camping outfit. You must have tea, coffee and sugar, sirup, bag of s;ilt, biscuits, pepper, mustard, vinegar and curry. 1 am a strong advocate of canned food for the camp, and in this form should have beef, lobster, salmon, tongue and perhaps tomatoes and com. I3uiter is also necessary, but, if possible, get it from the nearest farm house. Better take along also a bag of "pre pared" flour, buckwheat and rice, if you wish, and, above all. some' tins of good condensed milk. Condensed coffee is also an excellent article. You can have also prepared soups, chocolate, etc, which add to the luxury of camp life. But be careful about overweighing your bag gage. Each camper should have a tin plate and cup, a spoon, a knife and a fork. THE CA1IP. Tlie camp should have a frying pan, three "Taduated tin kettles, the larger with the capacity of a gallon or more, and one fitting closely into the other; an ax for heavy chopping is necessary, and it would be well to have a small hatchet for light work. A pocket compass is in di'ensable, as are also parlor matches. There is no comfort in camping unless you take a tenr, and tho "A" structure, strong cotton, in my judgment, is best. One eight by ten feet aud six feet high will accommodate six persons. Better take along your ridge Kile and tent pins, and always have an ample supply of cord. It is well to take tent pins, be t -a use sometimes you are suddenly over taken by a rain storm, or you reach the camping ground after dark, and it is in convenient or impossible to obtain tent pins. Never take crockeryware, for it is sure to break and heavy to carry. Sufficient attention is not always given to a camp site. In choosing the spot several considerations should weigh. It should be near wood and water, and, i while seclnded, should command a view of the most picturesque parts of its sar- j roundings. New York Herald. iihI t.

Vet H Truit Him Implicit ly.

It is still perini.-sible to nuile ji'.'.iably at the professional jo.-dony 'l quacks. Thj successful physician, with t-x 'eptions which happily arc much more numerous than they were, is the iuo.-t intolerant despot -n earth. And we en courage hi 111 to be so. .'e are vamii.lv aware of 1 ho limita tions of Lis knowledge; wo know that he has to guess fir-1 what is the matter with us, aud t.ext what will do us j.'ood, and that though there are facts his ac quaintance with which h Ips him t guess right, many theories that regulate his professional action are still hypothet ical, and may or may not be correct. We know that he has discovered that many of tho methods his fat hoi- iisefl were unwise and deleterious, and that the doses his grandfather gave often hastened tho result they were intended to prevent and hindered what they were designed to induce. We know not only that ho is a map, and therefore fallible, but that his pro fessional science, like his father's and grandfather's, is progressive, and is sti'l very far from being exact. Neverthe less when anything ails us, in spite of all wo know of his limitations, we fly to him as though ho were all wise, and do as nearly what he tells us is our ile'sh and our pockets permit. For we believe that, erring and inadequate as he i.s, ho knows more than we do, and that his knowledge is, on the whole, the best that is at our command. The childlike trust in our physicians is a phenomenon which is creditable to us and to our doctors, and from which we both get benefit. Undoubtedly our pLys;cians do us good, and indeed they ought to, even if they knew less and guessed less fortunately than they do, else were faith a much less potent virtue than it is declared to be. But it is one thing for us to flock of our own accord to the doctors, and quite another thing for those professional gentlemen to hold that we shall come to them and to none else, and that we may neither be legitimately born, nor die legally, except with the concur rence of the learned faculty. Scribaer's. Pastimes of City l!oy. A singular game has for its founda tion an ash barrel. Across the top ot this is placed a board two or three inches in width, which projects about the same distance over the rims of the barrel. On one of these projecting ends a ball is bal anced; the batsman then takes his bat and with all his strength strikes the? other end of the board. The ball flies up and away in a before unknown direc tion, and the batsman, should ho not be caught out, attempts to run to a base and return before the ball can be fielded "home." Look above you at the telegraph wires. Sooner or later they become the natural end of everv kite flown in this street, ind the tattered fragments with which the wires are adorned bear witness that kite flying is a popular pastime, even if disastrous to the kites. In this sport country boys may fairly claim superior ity. Comparatively few city boys know how to fly a kite; they never seem able to manage the tail. Kites in the city can only be successfully flown from the housetops. Marbles we see of every kind, "mig- gles" and "alleys," "taws" and "abates." Generally the games are playcvi in a ring drawn with chalk on the sidewalk. for holes are not made or found here so easily as they are in a country play ground. Frank M. Chapman in St. Nicholas. Trifling Things in Court. Very trifling things sometimes go very far in the courts. The supreme court f f tiie United States has ended a costly and long controversy by ruling upon the question, "Is the tomato a fruit or a vegetable?' About '0,000 has been ex pended in the celebrated "Jones count' ilf case," in Iowa, in which the owner- shin of a calf valued at fifteen dollars is involved. A Medina county O.) farmer a fewr years ago refused to pay taxes 011 four moolleys on the ground that the law provided for the taxation of "all horned cattle of whatsoever kind," whereas the four cows had no horns. This case was ended in the circuit court after the costs had eaten up tlie value of the defendant's farm. A suit for taxes in which the Standard Oil company is involved to the extent of several hun dred thousand dollars in Pennsylvania and Ohio hangs ujon the insertion of a comma in an Ohio statute. Chicago AlaiL A 31acliine That tUakes aud Cooks Sausages One of the novelties at the St. Pancras exhibition in London, England, was a sausage machine, driven by electric mo tor. In conjunction with this machine it has been proposed to employ an elect ra heating attachment, whereby the savory dish can be delivered cooked and smok ing hot to the purchaser. It begins to hook as if the shrewd individual who conceived the idea of a universal pig utilizing machine, into which the animal could be put at one end, to emerge at the other as cured hams and blacking brushes, was no visionary, but only a prophet a little in advance of his times.

He turned, and kiw tho Mexican being sup ported by tho legs and arms, the blood flowing from his neck. Then, with the coolest indifference, ho said, "Hold on, hold on, boys, till I make this shot." Then, resuming his former position, he deliberately finished his shot. Dr. C. B. Gillespie in Cent ury. To Do Away with Kn-rciso. Too much dumbbell exenuse is a weari ness to tlie flesh, and matutinal swing ing of the Indian club becomes, sooner or later, irksome. The idea of relieving the tedium of daily exercise while in creasing its benefits is a good one, and it is now pl.'tced at the service of tho public in a practical form. A polished wooden box contain!! tho appliances in cidental to the ordinary exercising ma chine, and is equipped, in addition, with a magneto-electro apparatus capable of transmitting an electric current to ten or more persons at tho same time, or Ikj ing graduated to the endurance or pleas ure of one person, so that while the vari ous forms of exercise are leing gone through an electric current of any re quired strength can be imparted. It is claimed that electricity can thnu be applied under improved and more pleasant conditions than formerly iti many cases where its use has been proved to be most beneficial. Attention is called to tho fact that telegraph or erators, accountants, typewriters, pian ists, and all whose work is apt to cans muscular pains and stiffness in the hand and arm, can by the use of this exercis ing machine reap a twofold advantage. The machine has a bath attachment. This is placed in a bath, and when the foot is placed upon it an electric shock of graduated strength is imparted to the bather. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Improvement in Kollcd Steel. A protracted series of experimen'-s made at Siemens' works, in England, tcith the new process of manuf;tcturing steel tubes, show conclusively, it is claimed, a remarkable adaptation of the system to the manufacture of pipes for the conveyance of water, gas and air at high pressure, the manufacture of steam boilers, boiler tubes, and especially for bridge construction, owing to the light ness and strength of tho tubes of comparative-thin steel, and which, it is be lieved, will enable tlie engineer of the future to considerably increase the span of bridges. The simple as well as remarkable pe culiarity of this process of shaping metals consists in the fact that, instead of avoiding any twi. t of the fibers, it by one operation gives the great' t possible twist to the fiber with a corresponding stretch of mat'-rial. It moreover may, assisted by a mandrel, increase the outer diameter of a bar, instead of diminishing it, as do all other rolling mills, but the tube produced by this new- method is generally greater in diameter t;nu tho bar from which it is foi i-e I, ; "i 1 t:n;s combining, as it does, ail t!,? v.-trious systems of rolling, it is claimed to pos sess the advantage of a construction ia which all hith1! to known rolling proc esses represent a part.
