A so-called “peach delight,” which can 
be served as a novelty in peach shortcake 
(or as a rich baked pudding), is baked in 
a deep buttered pudding dish. Place a 
layer of sliced peaches in the dish, dot with 
bits of butter and a slight sprinkle of 
blanched almonds, chopped very fine, and 
covered with a thin layer of granulated 
sugar and a sprinkle of finely sifted 
cracker crumbs. Repeat the layer of 
peaches, sweetening, and flavoring, until 
the pudding dish is full. Make a rich pie 
crust of puff paste for the top, about an 
inch thick. Make several incisions in the 
crust, to allow the steam to escape. Bake 
in a moderate oven, and serve hot with 
creamed butter and sugar; cutting the crust 
in pieces as for pie, and heaping with the 
peaches and dressing. It is equally fine

qi is a story of outdoor boy life, suggesting a large num- 
ber of diversions which, aside from affording entertainment, 
will stimulate in boys the creative spirit. In each instance 
complete practical instructions are given for building the various 
articles. @ The needs of the boy camper are supplied by the direc- 
tions for making tramping outfits, sleeping bags and tents; also 
such other shelters as tree houses, straw huts, log cabins and caves. 
@ The winter diversions include instructions for making six kinds of 
skate sails and eight kinds of snowshoes and skis, besides ice boats, 
scooters, sledges, toboggans and a peculiar Swedish contrivance 
called a ‘‘rennwolf.” @ Among the more instructive subjects cov- 
ered are surveying, wigwagging, heliographing and bridge-building, 
in which six different kinds of bridges, including a simple can- 
tilever bridge, are described.

HIS is a concise treatise on the principles and methods employed in 
the manufacture and use of concrete in all classes of modern work. 
The author has brought together in this work, all the salient matter of 
interest to the users of concrete and its many diversified products. The 
matter is presented in logical and systematic order, clearly written, fully 
illustrated and free from involved mathematics. E-verything of value to the 
concrete user is given. It is a standard work of reference covering the 
various uses of concrete, both plain and reinforced. Following is a list of 
the chapters, which will give an idea of the scope of the book and its 
thorough treatment of the subject:
