Ions of prepared dip. After boiling, the
dip should be allowed to settle at least
three hours and the liquor drawn off and
strained through bagging before adding
to water in the vat. Soft water is better
than hard, but the hard water should be
cut with lye or potash, but only enough
of the above ingredients used to softe n
the water. Figure 23l inches Cubic to

High School Picnic at Sylvan Lake.

High School Picnic at Sylvan Lake.
For some time before the close of the
school year, the High School had looked
forward with joyful anticipation to pic
mic at Sylvan Lake. On Friday about
$50 they, with Mr.. Jackson, met at the
school house and with the sun shining
brightly, started for a good days jollif-
cation. They arrived at the lake in
excellent spirits just in time to escape
the first installment of the rain which
fell rather too plentifully during the re-
mainder of the day. With the rain
trickling in little streams through the
shelter overhead, the dinner was served
in solemn state in the band wagon"
which had transported them thither
The report cards had not been dis
tributed, so Professor, after short talk
to his pupils, gave them the records OF
their years work Then the party made
for the boats, and the boys had a fine
chance to develop muscle by rowing till
about o'clock when the entire crowd
looking much the worse for the rain
which had only ceased at intervals
trooped in to the grateful warmth of a
fire which had been prepared in the of
fee of the hotel.
Mrs. Monheim thoughtfully provided
steaming pitcher of delicious cocoa and
a plate of crackers to warm up the pleas
ure seekers, for their homeward ride.
In spite of the rain jokes and songs few
thick and Fast on the return journey, and
the High School pupils were unanimous
in declaring that they had had splen-
did time and would not have stayed at
home even for small cloudburst.
