inches from tip to tip.
These birds winter around the Gulf

vicinity of Hudson's bay, The route
of their spring and fall migration is
usually along the Mississippi and the
great lakes; they seldom stray as far
east as this. This bird was with a

FOR THE HOT DAYS
VARIOUS DEVICES THAT MAKE
FOR COMFORT.
Camping Idea for Care OF Meat WIN
Be Appreciated by the Practical
Housekeeper - Awnings
for the Piazza.


The canvas home has become SO
ponular during the summer months
that a decided advance has been maze
in materials and outfits for camp Ire.
Many of these devices are worthy OF
attention. and recommend themselves
not alone to the lover of outdoor life,
but to the practical hopsekeeper as
we'll The collapsible meat safe is
made of English bobbinet, washable
and extra strong. Circular bands OF
wire form a sort of cage, over which
the bobbinet is stretched. Suspended
from tree or beam this safe protects
all meats from insects, while every
thing is left open to the air. The new
folding camp stoves range from three
to five dollars. There are no lids to
this stove and the fire is fed from
door at the end. The stove Is made
of sheet steel, all edges wired ana
op.braced. 1t sits fiat on the ground,
and its weight is from 12R to 1917
pounds. Ovens and aluminium bakers,
which bake and roast when placed
against the side of the stove, are said
TO be satisfactory, An excellent
crate for cooking over Goals can be
bought for rs cents. Made Of heavy
wire rods 1t stands about one foot
high, and when not in use the legs fold
fiat and can be easily carried or
packed. Pocket filters are useful, and
their price Is about one dollar.
When choosing awnings for the sum-
mer piazza select the shades that fade
least and then take precaution to pre-
serve them. Whether it is best to roll
up an awning or leave it down during
rainstorm is an open question. Many
declare that if left down they become
thoroughly washed, and the rain runs
off, taking dust and dirt with it, while
if left up the water settles in the
cloth in little pools and afterward
stains are apt to appear. or course,
during a windstorm all awnings should
be raised. Light straw awnings are
very satisfactory used for a screen,
but they seldom last more than one
season. After they are no longer use.

brandy the passengers consumed zV'

when we come to look at the hsures
relating to beer, for of that beverage
more than half million gallons ware
drunk, and it is not reported that the
quartermasters had any unusual ponce
duty to perform at that.
The recent installation of the la
carte system in the restaurants OF
the modern liners accounts for an
amazing growth in the consumption
of delicacies, such as were seldom
found on even the best ships when
the business of feeding passengers
was exclusively table d'hote.
Restaurant diners on the liners
whose figures are being considered
consumed many, many thousand part

canvasback ducks. They demanded
literally many hundreds Of thousands
of live lobster and crawfish. of fresh
littlenecks, blue points and softshell
crabs.
They consumed such quantity OF
green turtle soup that the chefs had
to use up 13,407 pounds of fresh tur'
tie in its making.
Coming around to the more sub
stantial articles of diet, 1t is found
that of fresh beef there was used g.
311,927 pounds, and Of pork and veal
and mutton about 100000 pounds each.
Potatoes 10 go with these weighed in
excess of 10000 tons, very fair cargo
in itself.
The passengers seem to begin the
day with hearty appetites, as well as
going to lunch and dinner in the same
blessed condition. They consumed oil
eggs, 6500,000 and of calves liver and
bacon an appropriate quantity to sup
plement the eggs, and with their
morning toast 216,503 tins of marina
lade and other such sweets.
