Boots for Tramplng.

Such boots as are to be dedicated
to tramping should be scrubbed we'll
with English harness soap and then
treated to two coats Of a good water
proof1ng oil. This will keep them soft,
no matter how often they are soaked.
These little attentions bestowed on
well-built shoes will do much toward
keeping their wea@ers well shod and
will save many dollars.
When it comes to buying it must be
remembered that summer means loose
shoes c. else discomfort. A ready
made shoe should be bought either a
trif1e wider than the size usually worn
or else half size longer. This will
be found a great saving on the stock
tngs, too.

PUD0lNGs CAN BE BOILED IN
PAPER BAGS.

It Is not beyond paper bags to boil
things. especially buildings. They
must be put in thin molds with tight
fitting tops, the molds filed only two.
thirds-even a little less for some
sorts. After the tops are on tight
the molds must be set in a lightly
creased bag, which has been gently
f1attened at the bottom so as not to
break it, and reinforced along the
seam with thick paste, which has
been allowed to dry before using.
After the pudding is in the bag. the
mold standing upright, pour in
enough cold water to come three
parts up the sides. fold and clip the
bag, set 1t on Z trivet with feet an
inch high. and put the trivet upon the
bottom Of the oven. Have the oven
hot, keep it so for ten minutes. then
