SOME NOTES ON AMERICAN CAMPING 
FOODS. 
Continued from page G93. 
place the sugar per capita too low. It should 
be at least two pounds for a person per week. 
Besides, sugar makes a very fair candy at all 
times; and is prized as a makeshift for yeast in 
leavening bread. 
I'he loaf sugar, or domino sugar, is always 
the best form. Granulated is a nuisance. If 
the container bursts or breaks or spills over, 
there is always some loss. 
Never trouble about the fraudulent mis¬ 
named sweetener called “saccharin”—a chemical 
product. I have had over a dozen years’ ex¬ 
perience with it on and off. It hasn’t a particle 
of food value, like cane sugar. It’s no use try¬ 
ing to cheat your stomach! You’ll find that out 
quickly enough!

Many persons make a failure at camping 
because they find everything so different to 
home or town life. When a person goes moun¬ 
taineering, the comforts of the drawing-room 
in mountain shacks are not to be expected. 
Similarly, in the fhrest, no push-the-button con¬ 
veniences should be anticipated. The luxury of 
fresh bread, of juicy beefsteaks, of buttered 
toast, etc., etc., have to be dispensed with, ex¬ 
cept if happening across the hospitality of a 
farmhouse or inn. But—and herein comes one 
of the true charms of the outdoor life—on re¬ 
turning home wfe appreciate all the more the 
comforts of home. The rough-and-tough ex¬ 
periences of camping we now begin to laugh 
over, and even poke fun at; and ere a few weeks 
or months have elapsed, we are already saying; 
“Oh, yes. we’ll go again next year!” 
The subtle charm of life in the open has be¬ 
gun to tell on us! It is the call of the open! 
WOMAN TREE CHOPPER. 
D. Woodbury B.vchelder, of this city, en¬ 
gaged in the lumber business at Damariscotta, 
Me., has in his employ a most remarkable 
woman as regards strength and endurance. 
She is Mary Gregory, wife of Frank Gregory, 
says the Boston Globe. 
She first entered the employ of Mr. Bachelder 
to provide meals for the fourteen men in the 
camp. This she was able to do and have half 
a day left in which to engage in the work of 
the men, and asked permission of Mr. Bach¬ 
elder to take her place with the choppers. 
Mr. Bachelder gave his consent and was as¬ 
tonished to see her perform. She wielded an 
ax as expertly as any man in the crew and made 
a record one day of chopping, splitting and pil¬ 
ing three cords of wood, a task that most men, 
hardened to the service of the woods, are in¬ 
capable of equalling. Mr. Bachelder says: 
"She is the strongest woman I ever saw. No 
sooner does she fell a tree than she is on top 
of it, limbing it out and in every line of work 
she is the equal of the men in camp. She 
handles a crosscut saw with all the skill of a 
man and not a laborer in the camp can surpass 
her in the amount of work accomplished.” 
She is_ 35 years old, weighs about 175, stands 
5 feet 8 inches and is as quick as a flash. She is 
fond of sport and expert as a wrestler. Mr. 
Bachelder says he has yet to see a man in camp 
who can match her at wrestling. She is not 
afraid to try conclusions with any of them. 
She has put every man who has been willing 
to wrestle her on his back and yet is modest 
in speech and manner, the mother of seven 
children, a native of Nova Scotia, and prior to 
inaking her home in the Maine woods, lived 
in Massachusetts. 
Her husband works in the woods with her, 
but is far from being her equal in strength.
