A Camping Outfit.

Novices preparing to camp out may find a hint of what is necessary for an outfit of advantage to them, and old frequenters of the camp may find their memories jogged on important points when they run their eyes over the following list made out by an experienced woodsman: One suit of heavy underclothes, extra pairs of drawers, stockings, loose shoes, and old pantaloons; one old heavy suit of clothes, the coat to have side pockets; old, soft hat, silk cap for camp; heavy flannel shirt, blanket, silver watch and key, overcoat, comb, tooth-brush, and jackknife, soap and towels. At 5-cent store: Tin plate and pint cup, table-knife, pewter fork, two common teaspoons, small pocket flash, one or more briarwood pipes, smoking tobacco, a few cigars—not many, watch case, joint Sole, extra tip; basket and strap, baitox, spoon and 100 feet spooh-line, coil silk line, two leaders, three dozen Kenie snood hooks, one case split shot, a few flies, not more than a dozen; matches, rubber coat, books.
