BEDS FOR OUTDOOR SLEEPING.

One of the best beds for outdoor
sleeping is that made out of a heap
ing pile of balsam boughs, all laid
pointing the same way and having the
shiny under sides up so as 20 take
full advantage of the spring of the
boughs. When boughs enough have
been heaped up so that one actually
rests several inches off the ground
the heat loss in that direction is very
greatly diminished Also, the bed is
delicously comfortable one.
Dry leaves are an autumn substi-
tute for balsam in regions where the
latter is not to be found, says Out
ing" for June, but they are more diffi-
cult to collect, and it takes larger
heap to give the same effect.
Where one is reduced actually to
sleeping next to the ground i: is al
ways well at least TO spread a canvas
or slicker under ones blankets and
then use the heavy one for under
meath This may not seem especially
sound advice at shutdown, but its wis
dom is aptto sink in during the night.
