Literary Notes.
A ROYAL Road to Camping Out.

Some unique and moderate cost summer
outings are instructively described in the
Nav Ladies' Home Journal by Daniel q.
Beard, who shows royal road to camp life
and the Joys of house boat parties, the ap-
proximatc cost, ETC. In selecting camp
ing place Mr.. Beard counsels the selection
of a spot which "gives the finest possible
view of the mountains, lakes or rivers, even
if some inconvenience must be suffered in
the selection. The camp must be dry and
we'll drained, so that in case OF sudden storms
there will he no danger of the water flooding
the tents, wetting the bedding or spelling
the food. A gentle slopmg ground is best
Avoid locating in the track or below the
mouths of innocent-l looking gullies or ravincs
that may, in case of rain, be developed into
torrents of muddy water, and sweep the
camp like cloud-burst. A supply of pure
water contributes as much to the enjoyment
of the campers as to the preservation of
health. Common sense will direct that the
camp be selected within easy reach Of some
bubbling spring or fresh, uncontaminated
brook of running water, but there is another
thing of paramount Importance, and that is
handy supply of fuel" Mr.. Beard tells
how to construct the Adirondack's camp,
the brush covered lean-to etc, but considers
canvas tents the best shelter for campers.
"They are transported with much greater
ease than the most simply reconstructed port
able house. A tent may be erected with the
expenditure of less labor than any other kind
of camp. and furnishes comfortable shelter
all the year round. A good wall tent, with
fly and wooden floor, is protection for
even the most delicate of persons

tiles and fripperies behind packed upin cam

Proverbs Of the SCOrcher.

A soft answer turneth away wrath,
but soft tire tilleth a man with evil
thoughts.
1t is wise cyclometer that showeth
it's master an extraordinary days run.
AS the spoke is bent so shall the path
of the bicvcle deviate fl ON the straight
and marrow way.
A drop of oil in time may save many
a gallon of Precipitation.
1t cannot be said Of bicycle rider
that he begins in the way he should

A bicycle can do almost anything
save climb tree.
The rider who pursueth his way with
his head bowed runneth to his own de.
struction.
As the handle bar is bent, so shall
the spinal column of the rider be in
clined.
1t shall be said Of all bicycles that
their way is the way of the crank.
The man who looketh behind him in
a crowded path would better be a pillar
of salt.

A ROUNDED THROAT.
TO Cultivate One, and How.

To fill out unsigbtly hollows on each side
of the collar bone and to develop all the neck
muscles, nothing is more efficacious than
deep breathing, that is, if one goes to work
Understandings
Combined with the breathing exercises
must be head bending movements and side
and front sweep arm movements, practicea
either outdoors or before an open window.
There are four separate exercises for the
head:
l. Bend the head slowly but firmly for
ward, without jerkiness, until the chin nearly
touches the neck, then slowly raise the head
to its normal position; repeat these move
ments 10 or 20 times at least and take long
deep breaths. A deep breath should be held
as long as possible and then slowly exhaled,
holding the air few seconds in the throat.
2. Bend the head backward as far as pos.
sible and then raise to its normal position.
3. Bend the head sideways, 10 times to
the right and as many to the left.
4. Roll the head slowly to the right, back
ward to left and then forward.
For the side sweep arm movements, stand
perfectly erect, with the arms at the sides,
then lift them up vertically, initiating the
lungs as the arms ascend. With the arms
in vertical position raise up on the tiptoes,
and throw the head back, touching at the
same time the backs of the hands overhead.
AS the arms slowly descend eXha!e from the
lungs.
For the front sweep initiate as you bring
your arms to vertical position; look up
and raise on the tptoes; keep the elbows
straight and touch the thumbs when the
arms are raised above the head. EXhale as
the hands are returned to the sides of the
thighs. Then alternate the front sweep and
the side sweep.
For the next movement draw the arms
from the front horizontally palms up, until
the elbows are as far past the sides as posi-
bic, but kept down close to the body. In
fate as the arms are drawn back, eXhalc as
you return to position. Repeat these move
ments three or four times. The last time,
when the elbows are back, beat the chest
lightly and quickly 10 or ~ times. Repeat
these movements several times.
Every alternate day the arm sweep exer
cises should be practiced, laying fiat on the
back, with the knees bent, and remember
that the movements must be taken slowly
and deliberately, with the breaths as deep
and full as possible. Not only is the neck,
and all its muscles benefited by these eXcr-
cises, but one acquires at the same time an
erect and graceful carriage. A word about
deep breathing. Not one person in a thou,
rand habituaily preaths to his full capacity,
and consequently lacks strength and vigor
OF body and mind. Enough cannot be SAID
of the benefits of full, deep breathing. If
you would prove its benefits, practice it daily
and You will increase the circulation, purify
the blood and send it rich and warm to make
lips ruby red and to plant roses in the cheeks.

When Nebraska Was Lake.

Extensive deposits Of ancient vol
canic ash in Southwestern Nebraska
have lately been turned to useful ac-
count as a source of pulverized pumice,
which has become an important article
of commerce. Professor Salisbury, of
the University of Chicago, after exam
lining the localities where the ash is
found concludes that it was deposited
in water at a time when that region of
country was covered by lake which is
supposed to have existed late in the
tertiary period, and the ash is believed
to have been borne thither by winds.

Obedient to the Cali.

The editor of Thierfreund relates the
following story, drawn from his per-
sOnal experience of the high training
of military horses. In the yeaT 1872,
during a skirmish with the Sioux In
dams, the Third Cavalry Regiment had
formed an encampment in a valley on
the southern border of Dakota.
At nightfall the horses were tethered
to the ground by a long line. Toward
daybreak a violent storm Of rain and
hail burst over the valley. The unshel-
tered animals terrified at the violence
of the storm, broke loose, and tore
away in wild stampede up the steep
sides of the valley, their fear driving
them right into the territory of the
enemy.
Without horses the soldiers would be
at the mercy Of the enemy, yet it was
impossible, in the half-darkness, to go
after them into an unknown region
probably full of Indians. Everything
seemed lost, when the captain, as a last
resource, ordered the stable call to be
sounded. In a few minutes every horse
had returned to the encampment, and
the men were saved
