IMPROVING THE CAMP MEAL
Various Condiments That Should
Never Be Forgotten When Party
Goes on an Outing.

A well-filled box of spices will be
thankfully remembered at every camp
meal, if somebody is thoughtful
enough to pack it and see that it
reaches its destination, for even the
plainest food can be rendered appetiz-
ing by judicious seasoning, and the
most appetizing dainties of camp fare
can be improved by spices that bring
ou. their flavor.
OF course, you will remember to
take along salt and pepper. but if you
want the taste immortal have the last
of cayenne A box of paprika, toe,
will give at tasteless moments pleas
ant flip. while lemons and garlic will
be worth their weight in gold at all
times Remember the following things
as we'll: onion juice, herb bouquet
and flask of whisky or brandy. A
tablespoonful of the last may be put
in canned meat soups instead of sher-
ry, which is more bulky to carry.
Tomatoes always liven up a canned
soup, and so also shaving of garlic
and squeeze of lemon juice. When
using the sauce remember that it must
be cooked with the soup. A raw egg,
beaten into the soup after it has been
taken from the fire, or milk cooked
with it, is splendid reviver.

His Great Contract.

Giorgio Polacco's brilliancy as re-
vealed in music does not extend to
the domain of business IL one may
Judge by a story told by Algernon st.
John Brenon. Mr.. Polacco was ap-
preached on one occasion by Milan
ese agent offering him an engagement
at Lisbon. Mr.. Polacco named a GER
tain price as remuneration. The en-
gagement, however, fell through. as
Mr.. Polacco had to go elsewhere. The
next season the same agent asked Mr..
Polacco his terms again and for the
same city. Mr.. Polacco named them.
The agent. acting with a certain celer
ity, asked Mr.. Polacco to sign then
and there. This was done and Mr..
Polacco took his contract home to his
wife. The latter read 1t. Then she
folded 1t up and looked straight at her
husband "Giorgio." she said, very
TRANQUILITY. you have made a great
contract" "Ah." said Mr.. Polacco
delightedly. 81 know have" Yes

Wet Beans Burst Ship.

BEAUTY SPOT OF BULGARIA

ople. The Tundja has its source in q
gorge Of the Balkans and flows for
more than ITO miles through an al
most unbroken succession of defiles,
valleys and plains. Roses are every.
where. They have bloomed there for
centuries, but never 80 profusely as
during the last two centuries. At
certain seasons the air is al.
most oppressive with the scent
of countless blossoms. Rose gar
dens, large and small, lie in ali
directions, in the plains and valleys
and on the hillsides. They present a
medley Of whites, pinks. reds and yel-
lows, imbedded in q mass of many
shaded leaves.
The trees and bushes-many of
them brought originally from various
parts of the Old World, India and Per
sia having provided a goodly proper
tion of them-are thrown together in
wild, though happy. confusion. Roses
abound. too, in yards and back gar
dens, on the walls of cottages and
outhouses and along paths and roads.
In and around this huge rose gar
den flourish. in well-nigh tropical lux
uriance, yellow gentian, wild lilac of
various tints and many other flowers.
Among these is the scarlet geranium,

And all this is amid a blueness of
