INDISPENSABLE TO A CAMPER.

Of course, it is the aim of every
camping-out party to burden itself as
slightly as possible, but there are
few necessary things that must not be
forgotten. You may be able to get
on without a saucepan, but you must
have a kettle to nang over your
fire gipsy-fashion, tin dish holding
one quart or three pints-the latter
size is the better-and tin cup. You
must, unless you are to be near a VII

you go into camp take some -four

and small box of baking-p ow1t'
Usually milk, eggs and butter may b.

vicinity OF the camp; but if milk is
not easily obtainable there is always
condensed milk, which is good sub
stitute If you find a difficulty In OBJ

may do this safely and easily BY cut

Severe local storms, accompanied by

The rainfall during the past few
weeks has been sufficient to thorough

growing crops have advanced with
great rapidity. The week was very
favorable for corn. The heavy rains
except in few localities, have not
washed the fields to any great extent
and the present condition of the crop
warrants the prediction of large

there is now sufficient moisture in the

ABOUT KISSING.
Newspaper Controversy That Leads to
Biblical "Reminiscences.

Two Of our esteemed contempor-
aries, the ST. Louis Republic and the
Chicago Chronicle, are engaged in a
controversy about kissing. The St.
Louis Republic, it seems, takes Of
Tense at certain scientists who are
engaged upon an investigation of the
origin of this delightful practice and
denounces it as unworthy of scientific
research. The Chicago Chronicle re-
proves the Republic for the position
1t has taken and fires yolley OF
learning and authorities at it more
fearful than the fusillade from a south
African kopje 1t reminds the Repub-
lie that kiss is far more worthy of
investigation than a microbe. 1t
quotes Dick Steele as saying that ma
ture was the author or the kiss aud
that it began with the first court
snip. Darwin Is quoted In support OF
the kiss and various antaropologists
are put upon the witness stand. John
Bunyan ia his Grace Astounding, Is
quoted as having a prejudice against
kissing because the brethren in ad
ministering the holy kiss of Scripture
were prone to select the best looking
women upon whom TO bestow it. Bun
yam argued from this that the kiss
was possibly not exclusively and al
together holy, but had in it an ad-
mixture of sentiment.
II anyone should desire TO know
what it is to kiss he is informed by
the Century Dictionary that it is
Ito smack with the pursed lips "a
OF the closed cavity of
the mouth by the cheeks giving a
slight sound when the rounded contact
of the lips with one another is
broken" Josh Billings added in his
hippant style that a kiss is like mo-
lasses sweet, but dauby. A great
deaf OF kissing went on in Bible
times, beginning with Genesis and GO
ing almost to Revelations. But some
of this Biblical kissing was Of an
.ndiser,minate and Alto
get-gr unpleasant character There
was Absalom perhaps the worst
character in Biblical history, who in !

Great and manifold are the evils of
the tobacco bondage" some one has
said, and it is probably more or less
true But particularly unfortunate is
the man who in these days Of strikes
and loek-outs worships a a single
shrine; who demands daily lis Mani
tella or his Zerimar or his Flor de
Borinquen, and is daily disappointed
because it is not. The smokers temple
should be pantheon, and there should
be many gods; for the nicotine
divinities are proverbially tickle, and
a long time may work a mans I'M
doing Devotion to single object
may we'll be admirable in other
matters, but it is better that a man be
catholic and free and generous in his
tobacco love; for too often man IS
forced to a sudden realization that his
favorito cigar, the one he has been
smoking these many years, is no
longer an actually, but a dream, a
reminiscent glory, gone forever to the
realm of dead roses.
Just now large number of the
finest brands of cigars are not to be
mad for love or money. Many factories
in Florida, New York and elsewhere, to
yhich the smoker looks for the
choicest fabricios de tahac, are idle by
reason of difference between employer
AMI employed, and enc result is serious
hardship for the man who has long
smoked and learned to love to the ex-
clusion of all others some certain
brand OF cigar, 1t is true that there
are thousands OF varieties of every
shape, color and quality; and true also
that the great body of sIc..ers use
only the commoner brands made in
abundance everywhere, and care not a
little bit for the disappearance of El
Murillo; but with the discT. ninating
smoker it is another thing When his
favorite cigar is gone a love is lost.
On the wholeit would be muah better.
In view of possible vicissi.ddes, to
avoid a passionate attachment to one
particular cigar.
There are many thousands Of cheap
smokes made In this country each
year that are fit only for the garbage
wagon, but these nevertheless manage
somehow TO get themselves consumed.
There are hundreds of brands Of
domestic manufacture also that are OF
very good quality, and these serve the
wants of the generality of our smoking
population, the men who are content
with a five or ten cent article provided
the material be good and it be we'll
and cleanly made. This kind of goods
Is to be found in abundance every
where and at all seasons.

MR.. BRYAN TALKS TO THOUSANDS IN
HAMILTON FISH PARK.

Nj BRYAN reached the city by the Forty-sec-
ond-st ferry 645 o'clock last night, after days
speaking tour up the State. and started at once
for Hamilton Fish Park. the East Side. where
he made a speech. When greeted at the ferry he
said: I am feeling tolerably well, thank you
This was Colonel Bryan's response when told that
ne had made thirty speeches during the day, ana
thus broken his own record for speech making. As
2 rule the speeches were not so long as most
occasions, hut they exceeded in number by nine or
ten those Of any previous day in the present cam
paign and by three the highest number made in
the campaign in any one day in 1895
Mrs. Bryan accompanied her husband. and she
received almost as much applause he did when
she appeared before the crowds assembled to hear
him. She received many handsome bouquets of

those who gathered to hear him heard what he
said. The meeting the che in Hamilton Fish

congested East Side district. This park covers

Not only was the park damned, but the crowd
was a typical East Side crowd-Hebrews Poles,

There was considerable decoration in honor Of
Mr. Bryan's presence All of the houses facing the
park-mostly tenement houses-were decorated
with japanese and Chinese lanterns, and strings
OF these lanterns were hung across the park.
