the party up to four or FIVE, rarely
more, never less. Two is too few I'm

Squabbles; three permits the associa-
ton OF two as chums, leaving the third
one to himself; four, two pairs, is the
most satisfactory number, although
FIVE can travel very comfortably. Get
as we'll acquainted as possible with
all members of the party before start
ing. An uncongenial member may
spoil the pleasure of the whole party
If possible. let one man know well
how to do camp cooking. Try him on
short outing before you trust him on
the real trip. The comfort Of the
whole party depends most on the abil-
ity of the cook. Fancy cooking or
chatting dish adeptness amounts to but
little when it comes to frying bacon,
making fapjacks and building fires
with green wood when the rain is
pouring down and the others of the
party are begging for something hot
and mighty quick about it too."-

Results of an Investigation Into Infant
Mental Processes.
OF forty eight children, says Stanley
Hall, twenty believed the sun, moon
and stars to live, sixteen thought flow
ers could feel and fifteen that dolls
would feel pain If burned. The sky
was found the chief field In which the
children exercised their philosOphic
minds. About three-quarters of them
thought the world a plane with the
sky like a bowl turned over 1t, some
times believing that it was of such
thin texture that one could easily break

when it sets, but half the children

or rafting big hammer, while the
lightning was due to God putting his
finger out, or turning the gas on quick,
or striking matches, or setting paper

God is big, perhaps blue, man, to
be seen in the sky, on the clouds, In
church or even in the streets. They
declare that God comes to see them
sometimes and they have seen him
enter the gate. He makes lamps,
babies, dogs, trees, money, ETC., and
the angels work for him. He looks like
a priest or a teacher or papa, and the
children like to look at him. A few
would themselves like to be God. His
house in the sky may be made of stone
or brick. Birds, children and Santa

Tribal Suicide.

All students of Malay and Hindoo
history know that one of the most hor-
rid customs in those countries is the
''poopootan,'" what should like to call
the tribal suicide, says G. Theme, cor
respondent of De Niewe Courant, The
Hague. A Bali prince, with the in
stincts Of his warrior race, declines to
surrender. but prefers death, and he
and all his people seek death. The
Prince of Badoeng did this. He turn
ed deaf ear to all suggestion of
settlement, but he and all connected
with him, men, women and children,
committed suicide. Nearly the same
thing happened in 1895 in Lombok, a
neighboring island. The old king had
surrendered, but one of his sons,
cripple, walked out with all his rela-
tons dressed in gorgeous garments,
bedecked with all their jewelry, and
with their swords and lances attacked
the Dutch army, only to find the death
they courted. Those who were not
killed in the fight were afterward
found to have also killed themselves.
