TEACHING BOYS WOODCRAFT. 



ic principal of the famous Boston Chaimcv 

 theBoston Herald, while at Bang, lev J. alas, 

 -..uaiunnce of Oapt Fred Barker, a famous 



Mr. w. n. i.vni), ti 

 Hall School, says 

 last spring, made the a 

 trapper of the .Main' 



scholars a treat never before enjoyed bv Huston schoolhovs to hea 

 u real hunter and trapper describe forest hie. made arrangements 

 with lam to deliver a aerieaof talks upon that subject during the 

 present winter. The first talk look place last week and so enter- 

 tain.' 1 the Bcholars thai they begged the principal to allow them to 

 bring their parents and friends to the nest that occurred on a Sat- 

 urday evening lately. Long before the speaker arrived the hall 

 was well tilleu with Bcholars, many of whom were accompanied hv 

 their parents and friends. Among the audienco wore quite a large 

 number of well-known sportsmen of this city, and also a delegation 

 or Harvard students, some of whom camped with Barker last Bum- 

 mer. The speaker appeared in his hunting costume aad opened 

 his address by giving the boys instructions regarding their outfit 

 and behavior while camping out. He advised beginners to employ 

 a guide acquainted with the locality and who wait also competent 

 to take charge of a eauip. He told the boys that they should have 

 two tents, one a wall tent to sleep in, and a smaller onw to keep 

 their cooking utensils in. Among the necessary paraphernalia ror 

 camping purposes he suggested a good axe, a' camp kettle, a tea- 

 kettle, a six-quart pail for water, and plenty of plates, knives and 

 forks. For food, plenty of potatoes, onions, beans and salt pork 

 ■were recommended. If the party has no guide it should have some 

 delinite plan of a-lion, and should elect one of the party captain 

 aud another cook, or " pot rastler," a* the logging camps term 

 rjiiffik cuisine. In selecting a placo for a camp particular atten- 

 tion should bo paid to the location, which should he on high ground, 

 closo to water. The speaker illustrated the proper manner of build- 

 Ing a fire. Select a smooth, hard piece of ground at the foot of a 

 high, licit boulder of stone, aud then take three large sticks of 

 wood, the larger the better— for the most of campers cut np a lot 

 of small wood that burns out before morning, leaving the campers 

 nearly frozen— and place one on tho other against the rock. After 

 this arrangement has been completed, chop np a lot of small dry 

 •wood and place in the fireplace atid start the lire. At the time of 

 retiring pull down on the fire tho two upper logs that rest against 

 the stone and throw a green stick on them. This will keep a good 

 lire uutil after midnight, when you should throw on another slick. 

 which will hist until morning. If a proper stone for the back can- 

 not be found, stakes driven in the ground will answer tho pnrpose 

 of holding up the front logB. With some boughs that he brought

 fifty nesting wild pigeons in a match, or is picking liis Leeth
