printer or binder will testify that 1t is
quite possible to waste paper by the ton
when documents are got out in million
lots, unless careful attention is paid to
size relations between pages and sheets.
In one campaign not more than a hun
dred years ago the machinery for produc-
ing documents was so much more eff
cient than the machinery for distribution
that just before the end OF the struggle
1t was found necessary either to burn or
send to the Junkshop about two carloads
Of printed matter so fresh from the presses
that the ink was hardly dry.

A PICNIC BASKET.
How to Pack and FIJI 1t to Give
Complete Satisfaction.

The wise picnlcker like the wise pioneer
looks out for a place affording plenty of
shade, wood and water Given this indis-
pensable, success or failure hinges largely
on the basket-and the basket is easier
put up right than wrong, If only one
knows how TO go about it.
Unless it Is a picnic of two, do not be
tempted into depending on a paper box.
Lunch for any number between four and a
dozen may be beautifully slowed within
one of the straw telescope baskets, which
have dependable leather straps, and weigh
almost nothing. Line it with a soft big
napkin, before you begin packing, taking
care to leave long end at one side. to 70 d
over the top. Upon the napkin put a
sheet or two of parafflne paper, tuckng It
snugly into the corners.
Now you are ready for the eatables
Chicken is much better friend than broiled
for eating cold. Have the butcher unJoint

the breat in two pieces, taking off the
wings, and dividing the legs into drum

up and drain on paper In hot plate. then
allow TO cool In open air. For packing lay
sheet of paraffine paper over a wood
en- plate or bit of stiff cardboard. pile the
fried chicken upon it, draw the corners of
the paper over 1t, and 1t is ready for pack
ing But do not put II at the bottom Of
your basket. Let the bottles of olives or
pickles or relishes go there. They had
better be opened and the brine or vinegar
poured off, both for safety and for saving
weight. Tins of biscuit, or sandwiches
should go also toward the bottom. Where
there are several of them 1t is best to
stand them on end and wedge the bottles
upright between.
Either ham, tongue or smoked beef for
sandwiches is best chopped fine, mixed
with a little butter, lemon juice and chop
ped parsley or capers, and celery vine
gar. Cut off the crust from the sand
witch loaf, and butter the end before cut
ting off a slice. Spread the filing evenly
and press firmly together. II you have

paper, pile your sandwiches even and
wrap them In several thicknesses of the
paper. Then take leaves OF white and
brown bread, cut off the end, butter. the
loaf lightly, cut off the buttered surface
and lay IL buttered side down upon the
end crust. Keep on until you have the
whole loaf sliced, buttered and piled near

of mail grows as the campaign progresses
and Is generally pretty heavy by the end

What was considered one of the most inn
portant documents in one campaign came
near being a veritable boomerang, 50 ttr
as the Firms were concerned. The ira 8
lator understood Finnish all right but his
knowledge of English was limited and re
transformed Alternatives into negatives
and vice versa in a wholesale fashion that
made the document stand in Finish for
exactly the reverse of what IL stood for in
English Fortunately the errors were
discovered in time to prevent the distri-
button of any of the uncorrected copies Of
the document, though not until after the
plates had been put upon the press and
about half a ton of good clean white paper
had been spoiled Documents in German
and French are easily handled, of course
and generally by special bureaus.
Campaign Artists and Poets.
Campaign committees are generally ex-
tensive patrons of what might by a
stretch be termed the arts and also of
what its writer's fondly believe to be poe-
try.
Under the head of the arts may be in
cluded the millions of candidates por
traits which are put out under committee
auspices also the cartoons, diagrams,
maps, badges (pins and buttons) and the
like. Opinions differ as to the value OF
such things in the getting of votes; but
committees always spend thousands,
sometimes hundreds of thousands in this
direction. One portrait engraver known
to the writer delivered more than mill
ion portraits of both the Republican and
Democratic candidates to the committees
in 1892, and his profits thereon were big
enough to make up for the heavy losses
of an entire year.
Naturally the tendency on the part of
committees to indulge in art" attracts
no end of cranks to submit no end of
crank designs. Every day from the be-
ginning to the end of the campaign the
mails are laden with them; every day the
public reception room is crowded with
men and a sprinklng of women who pre-
fer bringing their production in person to
intrusting them to Uncle Sans mail. In
the nature of things not one in a thous-
and of the submitted designs are accepted
but larger or smaller number generally
of surprising crudeness and lack of clev>
erness are almost always taken over and
made use of in addition to those which
are done by professional cartoon draughts-
men. A comprehensive collection of the
rejected ones would form a museum of
surprising stupidity.
