Although In tho years past there have been a few devotees of the morv strenuous (parts and recreations, the modern woman fcas Just begun to roailzo all that outdoor lUa means to her, and tho benefits she may terra thereby. A grant number of the women who are taday living a Uie of health and pleasure la the outdoor world havo developed from Hwiifl fecbla belags of no physique what- whosa oaqr scaucd pleasures were found over earda and other social rune tiaoa tie nature of which not oaly sa? the phjalcal, bat ImyaJr the mental vitality aa ii, Tbcaa woaaso data their convalescent period from the time tbeaa enervating pastimes were abaadoajed for a Ufa free from petty worries and carea- the Ufa of the great outdoors. What a blessing it would be to womankind if mora husbands and brothers, being sportsmen tbamstelvea, would say oftener: "Come, go with me Into the woodlaad's cool retreat, to the clear lake where lurk the wily bass, and the air Is filled with the fragrance of growing things," or perhaps, "Come where Bob White a. hiding in tht lonely willow swale." As a rule, man Is, or has been, a selfish crea ture where sport" is concerned, and until t recent years has considered his work well done when after a fortunate day of sport he came home, glowing with exercise and vigor bringing the fish or game for the "meek and bumblo" wife to pre pare. But mankind also la beginning to "see the error of his ways," and each season there are snore and more recruits to the army of happy men who have fitted their wives out with all necessary equipment for the life outdoors, ' whether to meet the requirements of the gentle art of angling or the more exerting though not leas congenial recreation with the gun. In the United States, those women who have asserted themselves, either for tbelr inherent love for nature, or the acquired attachment that In variably springs up the result of slose com munion with nature have proven the equal.nd Dot infrequently the superior of man contestants, in gamea that try the utmost skill and endur ance in hla or her special sport To the woman who has, aa abe will probably express it, "lost bar health," and whose strength and courage with which to combat everyday tribulatlone Is fast deserting her, the one physician who can answer every time aa positive to a permanent cure Is old Doctor Outdoors, and hla prescriptions are many and varied. This physician will never advise a timid, nervous woman to go for the first time, armed with shotgun, nor would he tell a woman who never had heid before a more formidable weapon than a "straight flush" to start out after big game without some preliminary Instructions in this line. The first advice would be: Learn to love the outer world, cultivate a taste for natural beauty, learn to look, learn to listen, learn to walk correctly, to tread the woodland patha lightly, and learn to breathe, fully and freely expanding, exhaling, till the blood cours ing merrily through every vein brings a warm glow to cheeka that have long been pinched and faded. In using the terms, looking and listening, I refer to the cultivation of the senses, without which life In the open air loses much of its en chantment. Cultlvate-tbe sense of hearing; when out alone In the woods, pause occasionally and note bow many different sounds you can hear distinctly and remember. Perhapa If Is the music of a stream as It ripples softly oer a bed of gravel; maybe It Is the voice of the waterfull as It tumbles .over great bowlders or through a nar row gorge, and simultaneously you may hear the twitter of feathered songsters In the neigh boring trees, and the cry of some great bird of prey on its pilgrimage through the air, while away off in the opposite direction comes the faint tinkle of a cowbell. While grapslng these separ ate, distinct sounds and storing them In your "mind your eyes' have kept busy. Perhaps you may notice a bent or broken twig or a bush near by, so your eye Involuntarily follows the course of the path and 4eka the next shrub to find ' aaore beat la the aacas manner. Tour oooclastoaa LJTJJQfl W 'WWWMMMP MNOLnG fff KUYO are rapid. Some animal has passed that way. As the twigs alone, and not the branches being mutilated, you know the animal has not rushed by In fright, and the nipped leavea higher up will Indicate the leisurely passage of some , her bivorous animal, and if you feel inclined to fol low this trail you will be rewarded in the end by finding a atray borse. as at first surmised. Not big game, far from it. but you have learned one lesson In the book of woodcraft, which is only a page of the many volumes yet In store for the earnest student It may have been smaller tracks that have claimed your attention, tracks that are visible In the sof. earth. Learn to distinguish those of a rabbit from those the squirrel has mado. This Is easy It you will be member that In runnjng the rabbit places both fore feet close together and spreads the hind feet apart, whlle-the squirrel places all feet at nearly equal distance apart. In using the olfac tory sense you can atand perfectly still and tell what trees or bush Is In blossom. Truly, one season spent out of doors In culti vation and close observation will be of more .real benefit than yeara over books. These things, then, are the first rudiments toward that higher education, the education of the outdoor woman. Perhaps the most important thing to be considered during tho preparatory stage Is the clothing to be worn, for without comfortable attire, advanced lessons will be of little real benefit. Although the outing costume varies with the individual taste, and also with the expense to be considered,- still the most wpular and the one universally adapted to roost needs is a suit consisting of a plain ahort skirt worn over knickerbockers, a coat of the same material, which may be 'made plain for camping purposes alone, or supplied with the proper pockets for hunting and fishing. A soft flannel shirt will be found more convenient than a waist, and stout shoes worn with leggings are lighter and less fatiguing than the high top boots, al though they may be worn to advantage in colder weather or where there la a rough tramp to be taken. A soft felt bat, or cap with generous vlaor to protect the eyes completes the costume. After simplicity, durability la an item to be considered. Strong, serviceable duck, canvaa and khaki cloth are durable and easily cleaned, but of recent years whole suits of waterproof mate rl. 1 can be tiad at such reasonable cost that It Is folly and a greater expense to make one's out ing gasments at home. ' . Cultivate a love for nature, which you can do with neither rod nor gun, the tse of which lm - plements of pleasure should come after the first rudiments are mastered. With new strength and nerve gained through a lire out of doors will also como new courage and confidence." In aome respects the prevailing variety of sport Is characteristic of that portion of country wherein it Is most Indulged. In the southern and some of the eastern states, fox hunting is one of the most popular of recreations, as the physi cal features and topography of the country make It the natural home of the fox, red and gray; and In the aunny south for generations fox hounds have been bred with the exhilaration of the chain In view; horses have bean judiciously bred la order to keep up with the hounds; and who nay any but that the beauty of the famous : women, especially of Ktntueky, nan net btea established through generations of riding to hounds In the open air, for It Is a sport that Is Indulged In to a great extent by women, and It la worthy of noto that they have proved to be the most fearless as well as most graceful of rldore.- In the wilder portions of the west where the turbulent broncho and tho fiery mustang hold supremo sway, riding Is one of the prevalent modes of enjoyment, although in a very different manner from that of riding to hounds, for the -cstern horsewoman differs as. much from the cultivated horsewoman of the south and east as the broncho differs from tho thoroughbred; and yet tho daughters of the west are fearless riders, many of whom are export ropers and spend their spare moments In the healthful, albeit rude, atmosphere of the camp. Archery claims many devotees who aro very e -.thuslastlc over their favorite pastime, but as yet the gamo of William Tell has not gained na tional pre-eminence. It seems to bo growing in popularity, however. More than a century beforo our beloved Izaac Walton had published his Immortal work, "The Complete Angler," another book was written on the subject so dear to tho heart of the angler this by a venerable dame, Jullanna Borners. It was called "Treatyse of Fysshynge wyth an Angle," and even in that remote time (1496) there must have been the same existing charm of outdoor llfo and proof that a woman might profit by this recreation either beside still waters or running stream, as demonstrated In the old dame's words: "It nede be the dysporte of fyshynge wyth an angle that causeth a long life, and a mery." And truly, what life can ba more full of the sweet, seductive charm than an outing beside a running brook? , Take n warm day in early spring when all nature la awakening from her long winter sleep. Go away off "far from the maddening crowd" to some sequestered nook where the trees are be ginning to wear their green dress of tho season, and where the lark sings. Take with you tho light rod and little coaxer, and try your luck with the finny tribe. It la not all luck, however, and It Is Interesting aa well as instructive to note under what conditions the greatest amount of success In angling can be attained. From a practical viewpoint, angling has much to recommend it aa an enjoyable means of recreation, as the sport need not be made an expensive one, although with angling as with all other sports, it may be made as expensive as one Would wish, according to the richness of the outfit to be employed and enjoyed. Many an old fisherman, and any little boy will tell you "'fit he can catch more fish using a pole cut f ' neighboring tree, with home-made tackle, -ii with the most elaborate set of bamboo rods and flys ever manufactured.- Trap shooting Is a great sport and claims number of women devotees in this country as well as abroad; it Is said that Queen Margharlta of Italy is an adept with both shotgun and rifle, trap shooting belief her favorite diversion.. Gradually but persistently the outdctor woman and lover of this means of recreation Is asserting herself, and at .present time plans are jinder way to perfect an organisation composed ptj, the women trap shooters of the United States. At the head of this movement is one of the most enthusiastic 'and able reicgscntatlves of trap shooting among the fair sex. More than ever women are beginning to realize how much out door life means to them, and they will soon find that no one but the doctor haa a kick coming If they spend their vacation In the wilderness or on the plains. My advice Is "Throw your powder rags and medicine bags to the first stray goat you meet - and come with me Into the open," thereby plac ing your name upon the great roster as aa out doer weoun. For twenty years Jorcmlnh lma been trying, by oral teachings, to por Hiindo tho nation to repent and turn to God, but tho pooplo and tholr rul ors had been deaf to his warnings. As a Inst resort, In tho rourtu your of Jeholnltlnt. tho Lord commanded tho prophot to wrlto down tho sub stance of his exhortations, and thus to focus them In ono mighty blow iiniin tho consciences of kltuj and peo ple. Moreover, for some mason Jere miah was Blutt tip, "rcBtrnlnod" from public utterance, being probably for bidden by tho authorities to preach; so that for tlio tlmo tho written word was tho only way by which Jeremiah could reach tho cars of tho people. Tim clioRoii ntnamicnnls was Bar- tich. tho son of Noilnh, n scribe. Th book was not Hlto ours, but was o roll of parchment, consisting of sov oral Hklns sewed together, tho cdgoi cut even, and tho whole rolled on wooden tods fastened at each end ho that tho parclunont could bo rolled from ono to tho other. Tho writing was arranged In columns, each llko tho tinEo of a book. It must havo taken llnruch somo months to havo written down such prophecies as Jeremiah wished to havo road, and which constituted a conaldcrnblo part of tho present book of Jeromlah. Jeremiah ncnt Baruch to tho tenv plo to rend tho book to tho assem bled crowil3. It WUS- a wiiury uuj. Baruch went up Into tho chamber oi u friendly noble, ovor n new gateway opening both ways Into tho Inner and outer courts. There, from tho win dow or balcony of tho chamber, or from tho platform or pillar on which tho kings had Btood on solemn occa sions, ho recited the long alternation of lament niid lnvcctlvo to the vast congregation. Reading In this way wan almost the only wny by which tho people could become acquainted with tho word of God. Fow could read. And copies of tho law cost n small fortune. Tho king Bent Jchudl, ono of his officers, to fetch tho roll so that Je hoiakim might loam ItH contents at first hand and not from hearsay. Tho king Bat In tho winter house. It seems probable that after Jehudl had read threo or four columes, the king snatched the roll from his handi and, taking the knlfo used for sharp enlng the scrlbo'a pons, cut up th roll himself, and cast It Into the flro. Somo think that only the first portion was read, when all the roll wascon sumed In tho fire. But Professor Ben nett says that the Hebrew Implies that at the end of every throe or four columns the king put out his hand for the roll, cut nway the portion reaa, threw It on tho flro, and handed the remainder back to Jehudl repeating tho process. Tho king commanded the arrest of Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah. But the Lord hid them, by moans of aome unknown providence and guidance; or, as usual, by the use of means In spired by God. Shutting the eyes does not ward off the lightning's stroke. Fools, that think that by wringing the neck of the crowing. cock they can prevent the coming of the morning. When the word of the Lord cams the book was destroyed, but its con tents and its truths lived. "Take thoe . . . another roll, and write In It." Jeremiah knew what he had aald before, and God gave htm further revelations. Professor Brown thinks that Baruch's second roll contained the first seventeen chsptera of our Jeremiah. "Thou shalt say to Jehoia kim that the prophecies should cer tainly come true." Attempts to destroy the Bible have been made. When men are forbidden to read It, and everything Is done to prevent Its circulation. The frontis piece of Wycllffe's Bible represents tho flro of true Christianity against which Its enemies, Satan and infidel ity, are blowing with all their might, trvine to nut It out: but the more they put themselves out of breath, the moro brightly the fire burns. InrarsoU's prophecy, twenty-six years ago, was that "In ten years the Bible will not be read." The fact is that vastly moro Bibles are Issued every year than when that prophecy was uttered, and In more languages. Those destroy tha Bible for some fieoplo, who for any reason give tho mpresslon that it Is not true, dimin ish its authority, and fill tho minds of the young with doubts. And yet ev ery attack has made It read more, and caused It to shine In purer light Those who disobey and neglect the Bible, refuse to let it be a lamp unto their feet and a light unto tbelr path, who Ignore Its teachings, and reruss its truths these destroy the Bible for themselves, But tho laws Of God movo on Just the samdT Jehoiakim was slain.
