Of this scheme Is that on the return
trip the silver sides of the leaves of

thus be easily distinguished from the
surrounding leaves. The stoneheap

It is a good plan to carry compass
when tramping, but If you lose your
directions when without compass,
your watch will help you out of the
difficulty. Hold the watch as shown in
Fig. 4, with the hour hand pointed to-

the point of the hour hand and the IL

face of watch were divided into "a

ways lay in the direction Of south, but
as It is divided into only one-half that

the point halfway between the hour

WITH DESIGN OF SPIDER WEB
Pretty little Pincushion That Ia Some

Novel ideas for making pretty PIN
cushions are difficult to obtain, but in
our sketch we show something quite
new in the shape of a quaint little
cushion made to represent a spiders
web. 1t can be carried out in any
size to suit different requirements;
and in making it, in the first place a
circular piece of stiff cardboard must
be cut out. This card is well padded
with cotton wool on that side which
is to be the front, and the wool should
be arranged SO that it is much thicker
