ANY of those
who flock to the
seashore to the
mountains and
to Europe each
year during the
hot months of
summer are not
purely health
seekers or fash
ionable folk It
seems as if in ev
ery community
city or urban
there are count
less thousands
w ho have
enough gypsy
blood in their
veins to feel a
longing Avheu
-the first warm days come on to get
-away into the woods and fields away
into the heart of the hills to breathe
the fresh air untainted There are
many to whom such a vacation means
rest from nerve strain and toil that has
become distasteful whose pocketbooks
-will not suffice for summer hotels and
line wardrobes And there is many a
man j es and many a woman who
used to all the refinements of life looks
back upon days of primitive freedom
spent under a roof of canvas as among
the happiest ever known One never
forgets such resting times and before
the tan is off the face or the nerves
again acknowledge business influence
the heart is longing for another privi
lege of living as the birds live
Vacation during the past ten years
has come to mean much both in city
and country with the busy denizen of
the metropolis as with the resident of
the average country village and the
Isolated farmer as well the keynote of
longing is rest and change All crave
the beneficent boon all appreciate it
It is a delightful break in a monotony
that otherwise would seem vapid and
unendurable It is not enough for the
city resident to visit the brightest of
parks for the country resident to wan
der in home forests Other parks and
other forests must fill the eye A break
a change travel new society new
scenes must intervene if it is only for
a brief fortnight and the spirit re
turns to its cares and labors rejuven
ated and ardent for the work beyond
With a great majority of people
camping out is the most delightful
of summer experiences and from the
first warm days till the time when the
frost falls the mere nientiou of rod
or reel or rifle sets the sportsmans
Wood a tingle In his fancy he can
catch the odor of the pine woods on a
bright crisp morning he can hear the
loons on the lake and the solitary
screech of a night owl he can see the
shiners glisten in the sun and hear
the cool splash as they go down to
tempt the gamy bass
The best time for camping some sayr j

is in June it is in July and August and
September and October according to
other good authorities The fact is it
all depends on what jou are going for
and where you are going If you are
after big game fall is the ideal season
Thats when a crack of the rifle in
steady hands brings down a deer
Thats when lying flat down in the
grass which a hoar frost or two has
bleached to the color of his dead grass
colored corduroys the sportsman
creeps up with bated breath when
whir whir zip and down comes a
duck or a fluttering partridge And
the forest is a dream of beauty But
the hot summer days tempt many a
veteran camper to fly from business
long before autumn Fish remarks
s one I tell you its always cool enough
to fish Its never hot when you row
out in midstream cast your line and
wait for the tug
The novice in camping is sure to bur
den himself with cumbersome super
fluities while he is likely to omit in-
j dispensable requisites But with a
proper tent a small oil stove blankets
lanterns dishes campstools and a
couple of packing boxes the primitive
becomes the luxurious One who has
never been camping would be

ed to see the variety of temping dishes
that can be prepared over a campfire
With proper provision there is no rea
son why the bill of fare should not in
clude the perfection of the best table
only that the beefsteak broiled on the
coals and the brook trout just fresh
from the brook cannot be duplicated
outside of a camp fire environment
There are of course vexatious mo-
ments when the novice makes a sad
jumble of the eggs or the cook of the
day is shut out from congenial pleas
ures temporarily but this is made up
for when the camper proudly dresses
his first 10 pounder or brings in a brace
of birds just plump enough to be lus
cious and tender
Of late years this camping out idea
his taken magical hold of church
choirs classmates secret and temper

tua acquaintances

As many as 100 members of a lodge
for instance plan for a two weeks
camping out A committee of ar
rangements takes charge ofall details
tj camping site is generally near
some popular summer resort where
there is a lake woods hotels and ready
transportation This little city enjoys
itself thoroughly The merry crowd
takes storms as novel experiences
mishaps as something to talk about
when home is reached The idea is a
growing one and has been reduced to
the minimum so far as expense is con
cerned
Vacation to some however either
means a long visit to some relatives
at a distance and amid strongly con
trasting surroundings or a tour of the
fashionable or lively summer resorts
There is not much of rest for the
bright spirited person in such a course
Pleasure is the ruling influence boat

Long Branch means a month in the

There is a certain class of city people
however who cling to their favorite

who do not like the roaring sea and the

pears that after all Saratoga Springs
Lake Chautauqua the Thousand Isl

George the Adirondack Mountains
and the New England coast have their
regular visitors and they are among
the people with whom going to the
country is almost as easy as it is for
those more fortunate ones who have
their own country homes There is an
other smaller class of summer tourists
who go to Europe for their outing The
hard times the higher steamship rates
the advancing prices for living in Eng
land and on the continent and the de
sire for retrenchment have reduced
thh class considerably and many peo
ple who once belonged to that body
have sought country homes for the sea

PIGEON FAMILY ON A SHIP
Female IWade Her IMate Sit on tlie
iijrs nrinj the Voyage
On board the Neptune liner Delano
Captain James which arrived recently
ss sc
from Rotterdam is a clear case of pet-
ticoat government
When the Delano left Rotterdam a
pair of pigeons were occupying a loft
on the vessel On the voyage across
the Atlantic two eggs appeared in the
nest over which there was a real
pigeon chuckle that drew the attention
of the crew and investigation proved
that a family was expected Great care
was taken by the sailors in wild weath
er to see that the mother and her eggs
were not rolled out or washed by the
seas
Then the sailors discovered that
there was more petticoat government
visible in the treatment of the male by
the female than was recognized in the
ethics of the married men who were on
board As an instance it was seen that
after the mother had taken a Mog
watch keeping the eggs warm she
would catch her better half by the col
lar and drag him into the nest and
make him take her place on the esss
No sailor would stand such treatment
as that without complaining to the
British Consul or the Board of Trade

many of them from foreign countries
There are many points of interest about
Niagara City and the big falls are not
alone the attraction
Not many miles distant is the far
famed Lake Chautauqua one of the
most magnificent bodies of resh water
in the world The lake is some twenty
six miles long and from two to six
miles wide Steamboats ply its waters
and there are big hotels at each of the
dozen landings along the shore It is
an ideal sumsaer resort and a decided
be found in a voyage of the lakes dif
fering from those found anywhere
else in this country There are the
celebrated pictured rocks the Indian
tribes of the North the famous copper
mines and scenery unsurpassed

The male pigeon performed his duties
without a murmur and the eggs in the
nest promise to yield a sea crop of
pigeons
Again the female dragged the male
into the nest and made him take his
place on the eggs Then she stood out
side the nest and spruced her plumage
which she had disregarded at sea Then
looking several times into the home and
seeing that everything was ail right
she raised her wings and flew away
At tea time she had not returned and

are scattered beautiful nlaces of re-
sort and some have economical fea
tures that give the slim pocket book a
fair chance
The person who gets the most good
outof his few weeks of summer vacation
does not own a cottage at any resort
He goes to a different place each year
never makes the same trip twice It is
the most tiresome thing in the world
to be obliged to go to the same cottage
and have the same neighbors and dp
the same things and dress in the same
fashionable sort of clothes that you do
Ul the rest of the year After such a
season one feels as if he must now
take a rest elsewhere and he needs it
far more than he did at the beginning
of summer
Dont go where you will meet any
one you know if you can help it Dont
go to the same place you have gone
perhaps for years Go to some new
place not a fashionable resort but one
which is comparatively new to every
body some wild place where civiliza
tion has not ruined the natural beauty
of the scenery Get near to Natures
heart and stay there Fill your days
with out of door pleasures Lie on the
pine needles somewhere in the North
woods and take in all the good clear
sweet breath of the woods and study
by observation everything or anything
in Nature Dream dream all day long
and sleep and eat It will not be neces
sary to lay any command down to eat
for any one who spends his time in
the woods by the lakes cannot help but
eat The appetites of sojourners in
those regions are something astound
ing
Above all dont hurry Whatever
you do take your time This is a time
of general relaxation and should not be
utterly spoiled by trying to crowd too
much pleasure into a short time Take
all you can leisurely and conveniently
and leave the rest for another season
A couple of stanzas by Dr Van Dyke
just expresses the true idea of a vaca
tion
Only an idle little stream
Whose somber waters softly gleam
Where I may wade through woodland
shade
And cac the fly and loaf and dream
Only a trout or two to dart
From foaming pools and try my art
No more Im wishing old fashioned
fishing
And just a day on natures heart

quality of tobacco The under lip or
part of the tongue most in contact with
the overheated stem of the pipe is most
frequently attacked These neoplasms
grow in -he base of the tongue and on
the tonsLs of those who have lost their
teeth ami who hold the pipe deep in
their mouth The weight of the pipe is
a source of irritation and the cancer is
found on the side where the pipe i3
held Contagion from two men using
the same pipe may result When an
early operation is performed on can
croids situated on the lip the prognosis
may be favorable but the reverse is
the case when the tonsils or tongue are
attacked Smokers should use a pipe
with an amber mouthpiece and it
should never be smoked to the bottom

It is hard to live up to it Next in im
