Many boys who cannot enjoy a camp fire in the wilderness, if they only knew about it, can have a good substitute. On the home place may be an old pile of stones gathered from some pasture, or a piece of field stone wall now in disuse. With these stones it is easy to build a capital oven. on which one can cook out of doors. First, lay some flat stones, slates or something of that kind, on the ground. Now take the heavier field stones and set them in the shape of a horseshoe, with the open end pointed south, if that is the direction from which the least wind is likely to come. Be sure that the open end is narrow- ed to the shape of a real horseshoe— that is, is less in diameter than the sides. This narrowing not only pro- tects the fire, but increases the draft and makes the steadier burning blaze for cooking. Use smaller stones as the sides of the oven are built up. Costruct the horseshoe to the height of a foot and a half or two feet, not higher. And don’t plan to build the first oven too large. It consumes too much fuel and does not cook so well. The sides of the horseshoe at the widest place should not be more than two and one half feet apart. Now “chink” in with smaller stones and daub the outside thickly with wet sand. The oven is ready for its covering. If from any scrap iron heap some iron staves or bars can be found, so much the better. Fit these across the top and upon them place a piece of sheet iron. The staves make it possible for the sheet- iron top to bear almost any weight of cooking utensils. Over the open horse- shoe end construct a gridiron of iron. The oven is now ready for use. For a few cents it is possible to buy what is called a baker. This, set on a sheet- iron top, will bake anything a boy is able to make. And the top of the ov- em is good for frying, boiling and stewing; the front for broiling. This oven costs nothing but work, ingenui- ty and care. It is safe and will not set fire to grass or bushes—always a very real danger im dry weather. It can be depended upon on the windiest day and will work in wet weather, making a good oven for a permanent camp. The stones can be found in the wilderness, even where there are no fields. But as a resource near home it is invaluable. © When a boy has only a couple of hours he can cook a delicious dinner on his oven and have the wilderness fire, not much more than a stone’s throw from the home roof-tree.—Jeannette Marks, in “The Churchman.” ARR The Poison of Unkind Words. Many of us who deem our lives ir- reproachable are just as guilty of murder and other sins as though we thrust a knife through some one or deliberately injured them otherwise. The unconscious defects in our character and dispositions, our little whims, our pet theories and darling hobbies, when ridden to death, be- come as gall and wormwood to those about us, frequently throttling their own ambitions, because we sour or rouse them malevolently until they die in spirit and never ripen in fine thought and action as they might do otherwise. People often die in spirit long be- fore their bodies do, and all because we crush their ambitions by our bit- ing sarcasm, bursts of temper or withering scorn. We kill them, too, by innuendoes, implying things against them when we really know nothing to warrant it. By “damning with faint praise” and “while not sneering yet teach the rest to sneer,” we dwarf whole lives. These are the things that are as deadly to development as an actual knife-thrust is to the death of the physical body. People’s ambitions and the products of their hands and brains are just as dear and sacred to them as earthly children and should be treated tender- ly by their intimates and next to kin. We frequently throttle those about us without so much as laying a finger upon them. We build up mountains of envy, hate and uncharitableness within ourselves that find expression in our ives, reaching upon those about us until they never develop as they might have done but for own personal thoughts and actions. Lives have been wrecked, reputa- tions lost, sometimes ending in sui- cide, because of a malicious word or unkind thrust, with the perpetrators going down to their graves as exem- plary citizens. The hangman’s noose never found them, but they were as guilty as many another who so paid the price for his evil acts. To deliberately commit such offense is done every day by many who call themselves christians, and we who are intelligent should constantly guard against being a stumbling block to anyone.—Annie Miller Knapp. The English Channel. The English channel is an arm of the sea which has acted as a peace-maker between England and her neighbors for almost a century and which is at this minute doing more effective work against the Germans than all of the English army. The channel is 23 miles wide at its narrowest part and it is also very wet. It is impossible for the ordina- ry soldier, weighted down as he is by ammunition and heavy boots, to swim it. It is equally impossible to carry a soldier across in a boat without the consent of England. For centuries English cruisers and fighting ships have roamed up and down the channel and hostile armies which attempted to land on English shores and shoot holes in Westminster Abbey. have been soaked in salt water until they | were entirely valueless for military purposes. ; The Spanish were the last to make a real attempt to invade England. They sent a great fleet up the channel 350 years ago and its obsequies were very largely attended. The English channel is the most profitable institution in Great Britain. It saves the country hundreds of mil-, lions yearly. At the beginning of the present war Great Britain only had enough troops to furnish a light lunch for the German army. But they had the channel in front of them. In con- sequence, while France has been get- ting soaked in the cathedrals and oth- er vital parts and Belgium has had to move out entirely, England is safe and comparatively happy. If any agency should remove the channel from in front of England, that coun- try would become as uneasy as a man who has just gotten in front of a tiger’s cage in time to see the bars taken off. The channel also serves other useful purposes. It keeps French vaude- ville, military and noblemen out of England to a large extent and keeps English cricket and English clothes out of France. While the channel is very narrow and can be crossed in an hour, it is very unpopular with the traveler. This is because of its curi- osity. It is the most curious body of water in the world. It is never satis- fied until it has turned the pilgrim and stranger inside out and has seen Tha he has eaten for lunch.—George inch. a —————— ——There are parents who avenge themselves on their children for the bad education they have given them.

The great distruction produced in our forests yearly by fires has been well known and profoundly exploited in the last few years by the public press. The annual loss from this cause in the United States reaches into millions of dollars and takes some seventy lives. It has been quite generally assumed that the cause of these fires in a large majority of cases is either sparks from locomo- tives or carelessness due to campers in leaving camp fires unprotected, or to smokers. It is rather a surprise to find that a larger cause than any of .these is the natural one of fires set by lightning. H. S. Graves, chief of the United States Forest Service, has est preserves in this country must therefore involve an attention to and the perfection of the fire-warden service, as well as an attempt to in- troduce greater care on the part of campers and of railroads to protect the forests from the kindling of res. Ridding Lawn of Dandelions. At this season of the year, there are few lawns in the State not infested with dandelions. The weed is very pernicious, due to the flying seed hab- it, and the heavy, fleshy root system, any part of which may produce a new plant. As the best method of combat- ing dandelions in the lawn the bota- ny department of The Pennsylvania been carrying on investigations to determine to what extent lightnin; and the remarkable result is obtaime that such a cause is more prolific ii. starting forest fires than any other agency, not even excepting locomo- tives and other steam engines. A single storm in the forests on the Western coast, from Oregon to Mex- ico, was found to have started more than seven hundred fires. This result shows that the protection of our for- ests against fires must involve some other factor than simply caution in setting these fires, and that the only way that the forest can be properly protected is by an extension of the fire warden service. This has rapidly grown in the last few years in many parts of the country and has become very efficient at the present time, where attention has been given to the subject. The efficiency of the service is shown by the fact that half of the fires which have been set are now extinguished before they have burned over an acre of territory, and half of the remainder before they have spread over an area of ten acres. This is in great contrast to the conditions of former years, when these fires were allowed to burn until they ex- tinguished themselves. The protec- tion of the incalculable valuable for- Medical. THE NEWEST RETNEDY FOR : Backache, Rheumatism and Dropsy. Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles bring misery to many. When the kidneys are weak or disea these natural filters do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and the poisons are carried to all parts of the body. There follow depression, aches and pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita- bility, headaches, chilliness acd rheu- matism. In some people there are sharp pains in the back and ioins, distressing ladder disorders and sometimes obstin- ate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes forms into gravel or kidney stones. When the uric acid affects the muscles and joints, it causes lumbago, rheumatism, gout or sciatica. This is the time to try ®Anuric.” During digestion uric acid is absorbed into the system from meat eaten, and even from some vegetables. The pool kidneys get tired and backache begins, This is a good time to take ®Anurie,” the new discovery of Dr. Pierce for Kid- ney trouble and Backache.
