A Homemade Paper Cup.

Travelers are often put to inconvenience by the lack of proper drinking cups. No careful person will use, or permit children to use, the common cup or tumbler found In public places; and it is worth knowing, that a paper drinking-cup for each Individual may be fashioned with very little trouble. Take a piece of smooth, clean paper about seven or eight Inches square. Fold diagonally, as seen in the illustration; one loiq? corner is then bent over until It touches the

middle of the opposite side; the paper is turned over and the other corner Is bent In similar fashion. The two remaining triangular points of paper are then -pushed into the pockets at the right and left, and the cup Is completed. Not only cups but good-sized paper buckets may be made upon the same plan from any sort of paper. Thus a foot-square piece of newspaper may be quickly converted into a container for berries, mushrooms, or any other

pasture or forest delicacy which the rambler may wish to gather. The im convenient bucket and pall may be kept In one’s pocket until wanted.-* Youth's Companion.
