FOR THE SUMMER CAMP.

Perhaps you won't have a chance
to 60 away from the city this sum-
mer, but that Is no reason why you
cannot camp out, just the same. It
doesn't require a very large piece OF
ground on which to pitch a tent. you
know, and II you haven't a back yard,
there is probably a vacant lot nearby
In which you can pitch 1t. Lots OF
boys seem to think that 1t isn't any
fun to camp out near the home, but
that Is a mistaken Idea. Such a trip
should be Just as carefully planned
as one to the woods, with all OF the
necessary provisions provided that
will be required for a week. 10 days,
or whatever length of time you plan
to stay; then o can feel Just as de
pendent upon yourself for exist C
as though you were many miles from
civilization. At the same time, II any
thing unexpected turns up, you will
have the advantage OF having as
sistance near at hand. A home camp
is a splendid place for the tenderfoot
to learn cooking. and will In many
ways prepare him for later expert
ences.
The suggestions shown In the illus
trations should be found helpful in
either the home camp, or a camp In
the woods or at the lake.
A wall tent Is probably the most
commonly used form Of tent, and n
OF these 5 feet by 10 feet IN size can
be purchased in most localities for
about s.: but when a boys spending
money Is limited this is a good deal
for him to pay out for a single piece
OF equipment. Fig. l shows a make
shift for a small wall tent that will
serve as a good shelter. Canvas or
burlap can be used for the cloth ma
t~erial; ,or. If you are going to camp
In the back yard. where you can take
chances on the weather, old sheeting
can be used. You might not think
that burlap would shed the water, on
account Of 1t being SO loosely woven
but 1t will and has been used to great
satisfaction. II you can get some
potato sacks. they can be used In a
pinch. Split them open. and sew them
together in a large a piece As Ia te-
quired for the covering.
Fig. Q shows how four stakes are
driven into the ground at the four
of the space marked out for
the tent, and two poles nailed across
the tops. to support the walls. Then
a strip Of canvas or burlap Is tackled
to the two sides and one end OF this
framework. as shown in Fig. 8,

SWEETS FOR THE SWEET.

There are NJ candies quite SO deli
cious OF wholesome al those which
are made at home. The following, IL
carefully made, will be one which Will
be treasured and often used.
Peanut candy-Cook together. stir
ring constantly, a pound Of light
brown sugar and six unc OF butter
for ten minutes from the time 1t be-
gins to bubble. Stir Ia a pound OF
peanuts, which will make a cupful af-
ter Smelling. Roll them on the bread
board with the rolling pin until
crushed like coarse crumbs. Pat out
at once into q creased pan and mark
off before it becomes too hard.
To make peppermint waters. winter
green, and in fact any favor. melt and
flavor a sufficient quantity Of fondant
over hot water and drop with a tea
spoon on a buttered sheet. The reel
pc for fondant has been given many
times.
Maple Fondant.-Break a pound and
a quarter of maple sugar In pieces,
add a pound and a quarter OF granu-
lated sugar, a cup of hot water and a
fourth Of a teG spoon Of cream Of tar
tar. Boil until a soft, waxy ball Is
made when a bit is dropped in cold
water, then pour out on a buttered
platter or a marble slab and work
as soon as it is cool enough to handle.
When well kneaded, put into a bowl,
cover with waxed paper n let stand
a day or two before using. A bright,
! clear DAY will prove better for making
fondant, as a damp, heavy atmosphere
has an ~unfayorable effect on he proc
ess.
Coffee Fondant.-Cook together a
fourth OF cup of ground coffee and a
cup and a half of water, strain
through a double cheese cloth, add two
and a half pounds Of sugar and a
fourth of a teaspoonful of cream OF
tartar. Boil and prepare as above,
While the sugar Is cooking 1t is wise
to wash down the sides Of the kettle
to keep the grains of sugar from form
ing. These grains. II not dissolved
and scraped into the candy when
mixing, will grain the whole lump
of fondant. Coloring matter and III
voring, with nuts and fruit, make a
large number of different kinds OF can
dies.

HOMEMADE WRITING DESK.

of boats, toys, athletic goods, etc, and
other things that you wish to keep
neal to hand. and a drawer" for
writing materials, Is Just what you
need for your The drawer Is
really misnamed, because the one in
this desk does not pull out. but Is
reached by raising a hinged leaf &c.
Fig, 81. However, 1t serves the pur-
pose of a drawer and. besides being
easier to construct, It Is handler to
get at. Where there is a regular
drawer It Is necessary to close the
desk, or at least partly close the drop
leaf, to gain access to 1t.
A small packing ease from the store

for the desk.

The drawer space Is covered with

you a suggestion as to how 1t may be
done, but you can space them in n
other way that you wish. The top
row can extend out to the front OF
tho desk, but. the lower pigeon-holes
must be kept far enough back OF the
hinged leaf e so It will not interfere
with It opening.
