the pleasures of boating and bathing
fresh water is one of the great neces-
saries of the camp just as it Is nee
essary of the house. In any event care
should be taken to see that the sum-
mer home ''in the wilderness is in a
healthy spot, not too difficult of access
and yet removed from anything that
may serve to remind the campers OF
the town they have deserted-for no
body can really enjoy camping out I'M
til he can unrestrainedly enter into the
spirit of the woods and mountains.
The site of the camp finally decided,
father and mother should hold con-
sultation to determine just what is
needed in the way Of accoutrements
and food supply.
They will do well to consult, If pos
sible. somebody who has had expert
ence in spending a summer In tent,
else they may fall into the grievous or
ror of taking more things along tnan
they really require, and while it will
not do to go into camp empty handed
it is almost equally inconvenient to
carry so much baggage that one does
not know what to do with.
In pitching the tent select knoll In
preference to low or hollow spot Of
e--ouud and be sure to dig a shallow
french. FIVE or six inches wide, around
the SPOT on which the tent is to stand,
getting the trench as close to the tent
as possible. This will insure the tent
floor being perfectly dry. The tent
should stand in an open space where
the sun shines freely. If possible have
the ground slope from back to front,
unless you are using ''conicaP tent
in which case a slope will be found
very inconvenient. Pull the canvas
taut and see that 1t stretches to the
ground, but do not pull the guy ropes
too tight, for the first rain will cause
them to shrink, and Il there is no yield
to them something will have to give
way, and mayhap the tent will come
crashing to the ground.
Just how the days shall be spent by
the campers must be left to their In
dividuaI tastes and to the varying
recreations offered by their surround
ings. But in order for everybody
thoroughly to enjoy the outing 1t Is
incumbent on each to perform cheer
fully the duties allotted by the head
of the camp-usually the mother OF
the family. for the father is hard at
work in town getting the pennies that
make the camp possible. UndOubted-
ly the most onerous task is to keep the
fire we'll supplied with wood. for the
way in which even the most modest
camp fire will devour wood is some
thing remarkable But Bobby. Johnny
and Tommy can easily devise many
schemes to turn this part Of the work
into actual fun. The girls of the party
will take charge of the culinary opera
tions-always under the watchfui eye
OF material ilias-and of the washing
aad cleaning Of dishes and clothes
There viii be plenty of work for all TO
do. but all viii have time for recrea-
ton If the camp IS managed on the
right lines And when the summer is
ut an end. and the time comes to bid
adieu TO the streams and lakes and
woodland. the campers viii one and all
agree that they have had the best
time OF their lives"

GETTING The NEWS.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRES
EMIT WAR is COSTLY.
Publications Pay at the Rate of $10,-
100000 Per Year-The Casualty List
Is Heavy Some of the Notable Cor
respondents.

Little does the public know OF the
enormous cost Of war news-of the
money that is paid out or of the hard
ships and perils of the men commission
ed TO gather information in the field
From purely commercial viewpoint,
it is estimated conservatively that the
newspapers and weeklies of the world
are paying for news of the Russo-Jap-
anese operations in Manchuria at the
rate of $l0000,O00 year. Most of this
amount is borne by publications printed
IN English, and by far the greatest item
in the bill is telegraph tolls, at about
so cents word.
Nowadays the war correspondent
how the names come up, of the dead and
living: Forbes. Crane and Ralph, who
are gone; Etzel, killed only few weeks
ago by the Chinese, Middleton, dead of
fever in Manehuria; Collins. who died in
Cuba; Nilliers, Burleigh Mcknight,
Brindle, Emerson, 0. X. Davis, Palmer,
Marshall. Creelman and Dunn and Hare,
the photographers; Suckney, who was
on the bridge of the Olympia with Dewey
at Manila bay-how the names of these
men and scores OF others come to mind

ing.
Now. in figuring the cost of CORE
spondence, eommercially--ta the
Manchuria campaign, for instance-the
average telegraph toll per word is 90
cents. The rate from Chefoo. Shanghai
and Ten-tsin TO New York is A. cents
per WORT; from Toxic, "a cents. Each
correspondent sends about 1,oo0 words a
week. SO there is an outl!y of about
100000 per week for mes sages The

$4,000. Their Interpreters servants
mess and forage require about $4,000.
lncidentals bring the total outlay mp 10
$150,000 week for the 200. In addi-
ton. several newspapers employ dispatch
boats. for which they pay something like
$500 week each FOR charter and main
tenance
Though this expenditure for the Russo
Japanese war may strike the ordinary
reader as extravagantly high, it isn't ex-
travagant at all when compared with the
actual outlay OF $4,000 week by one
newspaper during the Spanish war

CAMPING OUT IN SUMMER.
How a Joycas and Economical Outing
May Be Held.


There are great many families
who spend their summer in town un-
der the mistaken impression that they
cannot afford" to go away from
home. If they only knew it there is
one sure means of passing the heated
season in most enjoyable way and
even at less expense than is entailed
by keeping house In town. Camping
cut will solve the problem, as many
people can gladly testify. 1t is always
an easy matter to find pleasant
camping site within a few miles OF
home, and it is astonishing what fun
can be derived from leading the life Of
the gypsy. to say nothing of the re-
sultant benefits to health.
The first thing to do is to decide just
where the camp shall be located II
possible it should be near a lake or a
limpid stream of water. for apart from
