here by the ugly board fences nor are their
nostrils assailed by foul air from back al
leys near which their lives often have been
spent. and they are free to run about on
the broad stretches of green grass or play
their games about the great old barn. with
its piles of hay and Its many hooks and
corners. They are allowed to indulge In the
real "goin' swimming" which involves
treading the path down the hill through the
pines to Rock creek, with an accompant-
ment of much chatter. Here under the
everhanging trees their shrill cries of de-
light as they splash about in the water
echo through the quiet woods. reviving the
memory which many men cherish as one OF
the dearest of their boyhood.
The girls. too. are taken down to another
pool in the creek. where they enjoy In their
way the fun of playing in the water. -
Miss Irwin usually accompanies the girls
to the swimming pool and some one else Is
assigned to accompany the boys. to see
that no undue roughness is INDUCED In.

upon other work, and the management of
the establishment was placed in the hands
of Mibs F. M Irwin of Chicago a member
of the woman's board of the Jackson Park
Sanitarium, who has been interested and
engaged in work of this character for a
number of years She Is a woman of tact
and gentle Impulses, and makes the short
period spent at the camp by many suffering
women a time to be remembered with
thanksgiving
She is. assisted by Miss Ida M. Browning,
a graduate of the class Of 1903 of the Uni
versity Of Michigan, who expects to de-
vote her life to the study Of sociological
questions and to the improvement of con-
ditions in social life. She has consented to
assume the management of the smaller
children at the camp during the present
season. and has succeeded In making each
group model of good conduct and order.
She brings out to the camp each Satur-
day afternoon the party gathered at the
main office of the Associated Charities.
The members of the party remain until
the next Saturday morning, when Miss
Browning takes them home, going on the

HOW TIBETANs MAKE TEA.
DeHcacy Not Appetizing, but Natives
Are Fond of It.

From Outing.
Tea forms one of the principal articles Of
commerce throughout Tibet and Mongolia.
The native is miserable without 1t, ana
when it cannot be obtained is willing to
cheat himself by various expedients, such
as boiling dried onion heads, herbs or even
an infusion of chips of wood In water, IN
order that he may not be, at least. without
a suggestion Of his favorite beverage. The
tea imported from China is pressed into
small oblong shaped bricks, made up into
cases of nine bricks securely sewed in raw
hide, and not only is used as a beverage,
but in fact forms a staple of currency as
negotiable as Bank of England notes or
American currency.
The native method of preparing this deli
cacy Is not appetizing. The tea Is first
ground to a fine powder by vigorously
pounding 1t in a mortar until no splints Of
wood or other impurities are visible to the
eye: 1t is then put into the kettle when
the water Is hot. to boil ten or fifteen min
utes. BY way of giving increased flavor,
salt or soda is added, and, this part Of the
operation being completed. the all impor-
tant business of drinking 1t commences.
The family being gathered round the
fire of yak dung, in order that atmosphere
as the painters would say, should not be
lacking, each one draws from some hidden
recess in the folds of his voluminous sheep
skin coat a little wooden bowl and with
satisfaction which must be seen to be ap-
preciated fills his private dish with the
liquid. All this, however, is by way of
preliminary From a skinful Of butter,
placed within convenient range, each per-
son takes piece of oleaginous compound
and lets 1t melt into his bowl of steaming
tea. Then, oh, joy! oh. rapture! with
furtive grasps he draws the nectar to his
lips and heaven is open to him.
The bowl is again filed, into the steam
ing liquid he throws a handful of tsamba
(parched barley meaD. and drawing forth
the sodden lump works it into a ball of
brown dough with a deft movement of his
left hand. and successfully bites off pieces
Of this delicacy and drinks his buttered tea
in order that his table etiquette may not
be impugned, he ticks his bowl Clean wipes
what superfiuous fat he has not got on his
face his boots, and eagerly looks for
ward to the moment when gods and fate
shall again become propitious.

and each week large crowd of happy chill
dren and many mothers are taken to the
camp to find new world, virtually, where
there is plenty of pure air and they may
romp or rest without restraint. The camp
Is located on a farm which forms
part of the reservation Of Rock Creek
Park, the property having been placed
at the disposal of the summer outings
committee Of the Associated Charities
early last spring. There are house
and several outbuildings the prop
erty, also a good well and a number Of
fruit trees. The place had been unoccu-
pied for a number of years. and when 1t
came into the hands of the outings COM
mittee was hardly habitable. Mr.. Wallace
Hatch, who has undertaken the manage
ment of the outing camp, has changed the
whole appearance of the place. Mr.. Hatch
and his wife then moved into the house and
prepared to receive the children. E.
The idea Of establishing Camp Good Will
was evolved by the success of a camping
party In the summer of 1903 made up of
boys club from one of the social settle
ments established by the Associated Chart
ties in several sections of the city. A plan
was developed contemplating the fitting up
Of building at some appropriate spot or
the erection of a number of tents, where
parties of deserving children and mothers
could spend a weeks outing. The scheme
was helped toward accomplishment by the
District Commissioners. who placed the
Rock Creek property at the disposal of the
committee The farm house and building
which constitute the headquarters Of Camp
Good VIII are locateu a hill about one
mile from Brightwood. a line at right
angles to the Brightwood car line. The
approach to the camp Is made either by
way of the Military road or by the road
that leaves Brightwood avenue at the same
point but runs little north of the Mill
tary DAD. A very pretty old lane leads to
the Sc from the Milit:-ry road. and adds
to tie charm of the place for the little
summer visitors.
Boys Sleep in the Barn.
At the start one of the barns was fixed
up as a dormitory and a large number of
cots installed, and there the first outing
parties were quartered. Then a number Of
tents were secured and the accommodations
increased to that extent. There are now
seven tents in the camp four of which were
provided by the Associated Charities organ
izatiop and three by the general public di-
rectly. One was donated by the Peoples
Bank another was given by Mrs. kinnear's
class in the Calvary Baptist Sunday school
and a third was provided by the congrega-
ton of the Mount Pleasant Congregational
Church. The young girls and mothers are
now quartered in these and the boys sleep

No Room for Fence Posts in Japan.

From the Booklovers' Magazine.
In Japan when farmer permits tele-
graph or telephone pole to be erected on
his land he has made a great concession
to modern reform. Only the exceedingly
rich have fences around their farms in
Japan, not because Of the cost Of the fence.
but because of the value Of the square
inches the posts and pickets would con-
sumo. II border Is desired around q
field, 1t Is customary to plant mulberry
trees. The total area of ground In Japan
thus devoted to the silk-worm tree, which
otherwise would be taken up with fences,
amounts to about 1900 acres. This has
no reference to the mulberry farms and
groves. the area for which Is over three
times as much. The fact that a Japanese
farmer Is forced to figure ON the amount
of ground a fence post would occupy. and
the interesting fact that the government,
in its statistical enumerafions, has had the
areas covered by individual mulberry trees
on farm boundaries carefully computed.
demonstrates the great value Of arabic
land.

Paid Smokers of Meerschaum Pipes.

From the Louisville Herald.
With the growth of the hobby Of smoking
meerschaum pipes there have sprung up
concerns which make a business Of color
ing these pipes. In Paris there are two
firms which employ about a thousand men
to do nothing but smoke. They are paid
20 cents an hour. They smoke mild to-
bacco in order that they can smoke a great
length Of time without getting headache.
They are a queer set. Some of them are
persons Of high educational attachments.
who, being out Of other employment do
not object to sitting in a cool spot, reading
and smoking. It's snap for them. Others
of these hired smokers are ignorant fellows
who have never achieved success in any
thing but smoking. The officials in Paris
are trying to break up this business, claim
ing that 1t endangers the health Of the
hirelingS.
