How TO Make a Tent.

Buy nine yards of good, stout, yard
wide cotton cloth and cut into three
strips of three yards each. Sow these
strips together securely by overlapping,
and you will then have a strip three
yards square. Make a solutioa of twelve
ounces of lime and five ounces of alum
in three gallons of water, and soak the
cotton in 1t for a day. Rinse it in warm
rain water and stretch il in the sun TO
dry. Il viii then be waterproof.
Living reached your camping out
place, cut two poles eight feet long, each
with a fork at one end. Sink the other
ends in the ground about a foot and beat
the earth well 10 keep them firmly in
place. These poles should be about eight
feet apart. Now cut another pole about
nine feet long and put it on the top Of
the other two, resting in the forks. Cut
two more poles ten feet long for the sides
of your frame, resting one end Of each
pole on the pole and the other end
on the ground. Stretch the canvas over
the frame and tack it to the poles. You
can make the sides of your tent weather
proof with the houghs Of cedar and other
trees.
This is the simplest and least expensive
tent you can have, and it will answer
your purposes fully. The interior OF the
tent, however. would be n little more
roomy aud comfortable if you would put
up a second frame in the rear, similar to
that in front, say two feet high, and
stretch the canvas over that and thence
to the ground.
Select sloping ground to put your tent
on, so that ii il rains the water will read
lily run off; and also dig a little ditch
around the tent, with an outlet running
down the incline. AS the front of the
tent will be opcn-unless you choose TO
provide enough canvas 10 close it-you
lad better place it with the front toward
the north or northwest, for storms, if
you have any, will probably come from

How a Queen Was shocked.

NJ. Julien Brault has just published q
volume giving 4 history Of the telephone
since its continental adoption. He tells
an amusing story Of It's debut in Brussels
in 1884 The queen was asked to listen
from her palace 10 "A representation NJ the
Monnale theatre. suddenly, 10 the sur
prise of all present, she dropped the in
strument, giving u little gasp Of dismay.
The chorus leader had just been giving
his tunlultous crowd a sudden reprimand
in the most supplementary language,
using the name Of Divine Providence in
a very free and easy manner. Strict
orders were given on the morrow TO oblge
the use Of more diplomatic speech, and
the queen was happy.
Brault states hat Spain has made no
progress at all m the use of the telephone.
In 1882 the government began TO feel
some interest in the matter, and a law
was voted allowing its Use in the princi-
pal cities. Even Russia preceded Spain,
for in 1881 the instrument was there used
quite commonly, and even at greater
distances than in France. Now, in

Writers and the "Syndicates."

The method Of presenting literary mat
ter through a syndicate may have its
advantage, but | thinkit shuts off in n
sense, a great many writers who might
otherwise gradually gain recognition. If
a syndicate were managed right, it could
pay better prices for literary matter than
any one else; the projectors of such an
enterprise could afford 20 pay certain
authors enormous sums but, mt the same
time, such a scheme would work like
having no copyright law; it would
enable Il class of authors to sit down on
the others and keep them out.
A popular journal which had the nerve
and enterprise To secure good authors X
clusively and pay them for their work
would put itself ahead Of competitors.
The trouble with the syndicate is that
It tends to reduce journals to a dead
level. Robert Bonner, of The New York
Ledger, tried the former method; he
paid certain authors good prices to write
exclusively for him, and found that the
undertaking paid him. So, in the pres
ent day, an enterpfising editor who is on

writers Of promise and bring them out,
thus not only starting them on successful

RelIcs OF tho Old Stone Age.

longing TO that age, be sent 10 the insti-

Escape from Poisoning by a Cobra.

DR.. Vincent Richards, Of Calcutta. an
enthusiastic investigator in many differ
ent lines Of medical research, had O mar
row escape recently from poisoning by a
cobra bite. He was holding a vigorous
cobra in his right hand for the purpose
OF obtaining its venom In pointing with
his left forefnger 10 where some watch
glasses lay, he brought the part close 10
the animals head. The snake made n
sudden dart, and fastened its fangs Just
below the second joint. Retaining his
presence Of mind, DIR. Richards tore the
reptile away and killed IL. A tight liga-
ture was at once placed on the proximal
aspect Of the wounds, which were sucked,
enlarged by knife, allowed 10 bleed freely,
and thoroughly mopped with a 5 per
cent. solution Of permanganatc OF potash;
an India rubber cord was bound around
tho wrist. A medical friend subsequently
further enlarged the wounds, and applied
strong nitric acid 30 them. The ligatures
were cautiously removed after a time.
