CAMPING OUTFITS.
How to Choose the Most Useful Arti-
cles For Comfort.

How to Choose the Most Useful Arti-
cIes For Comfort.
The length of time one Is to spend in
camp and nearness' of a market should
be considered carefully before the ques.
ton of the outfit is necessary. If far
in the forest more provisions must be
provided. Then when this question is
settled calculation should be made of
the number Of persons to provide for
and the number of meals per day and
the days Of encampment Besides, one
must allow one-third more provision
for each meal than is required at home,
for camping gives famous appetites
Besides, guests may appear, and
weather may hinder the campers from
returning to misery as soon as was eX-
pected. Better be sure than sorry"
For those to whom expense is moth
ing there are sets of all imaginable
implements made of aluminium. all
pretty, light and durable, but an agate
frying pan, a kettle, coffeepot and a
Dutch oven are all that are really nee
essary, though a small coal oil stove is
a great convenience and, above all,
useful in stormy weather. when it is
difficult to keep a fire where the cook
would not be soaked.
Game and fish are expected to fur
nish much for the table of campers.
Bacon and sort of thick pancake
baked in a frying pan often form the
staple Of the campers diet, and,
though despiSed at home, it is good in
camp. Those who camp out just for
a good time and who can afford it take
lots of canned food and many other
things which experienced campers call
blOated luXuries. But good canned
things are good when eaten in the
woods and always eaten as soon as
taken out. Food of whatever kind left
in cans is dangerous. Plenty of pep
per, salt and mustard should be taken
to camp; also sugar, coffee, tea, rice
and beans. Pork-7& lain salt, ham and,
above all, bdconySlS the mainstay of
camp cookery. Evaporated fruit of all
kinds is also very good. The addition
of water makes them as fine as fresh.
All dried fruits should be soaked all
night and boiled in the same manner
half an hour In the morning.
Beans are fine baked all night in the
Dutch oven.

skin when the oil has been on the table
for an hour, blending the spots with
the surrounding surface. If this does
not suffice, rub it down with rotten
stone and oil. After it is perfectly
smooth it should be rubbed dry and
then some of the plain oil added every
week until a fine, dull finish is pro
cured. This dull finish is considered
by experts far superior to the high var
nished surface seen in furniture shops,
After a table has received the dull oil
finish hot dishes will never mar its
surface again.
