Choosing the Camp Site.

Certain rules should be used In the
selection of a site to be occupied for
any length of time. Clay and lime
stone are undesirable as the surface
water stands on them after rains. A
gentle slope drains the ground; the
liability of storm water from higher
ground must not be overlooked. A
light loamy or sandy soil is the one of
preference; avoid damp low places
and ground in which the water is
very near the surface The foot of a
hill is liable to remain wet several
days after rain. The tendency is
to get too near the river or lake on
which a camp is usually pitched; un-
less the land there is well above the
water, 1t is undesirable. Avoid a site
that has just been vacated by a camp
that has occupied 1t for some time.
Put kerosene on all stagnant water
1t prevents the breeding of mosaui-
toes; If water is kept standing in fire
buckets. 1t should be changed twice
week or have thin coating of OIL

Above the Clouds,

A Hungarian officer, describing the
fighting on the Tyrolese mountain
peaks, mile above sea level, states
that the most difficult problem for the
staff is to maintain the supply of food
to the troops. On account of the
high altitude and the continuous
physical strain they need good sup
plies and plenty of them
The officer pays tribute to the
work of the Red Cross. "Our wound

tied to the end of sticks, and it takes
a dozen men to carry one down." he

many of these never return. Touching
on the remarkable echoes thrown
back by the mountain peaks, the off,
Ger says:
"The roar of the guns Is heard
twice, thrice, or perhaps a dozen
times, the echo throwing the sounds
back and forth, and Transforming q

fearful noise of the guns in the rari-
fed atmosphere of these high alti

PAIN WITH SEVERE WOUNDS
Is Comparatively Little, Says Eminent
Surgeon, and Much of Our Pity
10 Wasted.

An eminent army surgeon has said
that much of our pity Tor the victims
of severe wounds on the battlefield ID
In reality wasted He adds that the
terribly wounded suffer comparatively
little pain, and that men who are
wounded unto death pass away with
out undergoing much suffering.
Surgeons who have experience on
the war fields ought to know definite
ly concerning the amount OF pain suf-
fered by the yariously wounded 1t Is
known. of course, off the battle line
as well as on 1t, that a comparatively
slight injury which involves the tear
ing Of the flesh and the disturbance
of the nervous system causes acute
pain. Nature, 1t Is said, makes pro-
vision that the terribly injured shall
not suffer the agonies which ordinarily
are considered as the necessary &C
compartment OF apparently cruel
wounds.
1t does not seem, however, as II IL
were exactly human to say that pity
for the terribly injured is wasted. The
pity Is as much for the wound and for
the future disablement OF the victim
as 1t Is for the present pain. Stories
which come from laymen bear out,
however, the surgeons word that the
terribly hurt do not suffer much, at
least at the time of the infection Of

TIME FOR THE HEAVY MEAL
Frenchman Asserts That II Is Early
in the Morning. But Some Differ
With Him Radically.

The undisturbed II not heroic d.
gestion which arises at the first clear
note Of the wood thrush. and, after the
due process OF orderly kitchen events,
sits eager and appetent before slice
of fried ham, dish of fried potatoes,
a stack of wheats, bowl Of oatmeal,
a platter of fried eggs, ETC., is worthy
of note these days.
Our nerve organization requires
time for preparation to meet the daily
exigencies. It has to be warmed up,
and, like baseball pitcher, cannot go
cold to its work 1t suggests to the
appetite that bit of fruit, a soft
boiled egg and cup of coffee will rep
resent sufficiency and kindness to the
interior economy.
Therefore when a French man OF
wisdom, with seeming logic, says that
the heavy work Of digestion ought to
be thrown upon the rested digestive
organs and that consequently the
heavy meal" of the day ought to be
eaten early in the morning, we reply
that his theory is plausible, but In err
ror. Digestive organs may be rested
In the morning, but they are not ready
to work, except in the case Of the now
rare and always heroic digestions be-
fore mentioned.
Moreover the French man Of wis
dom Is socially wrong. One may vel
come the cheering presence Of ones
fellow man at six o'clock in the morn
ing, but no lover of the human race
wants to see his brother at six o'clock
In the morning. The inalienable right
of humanity at six o'clock In the morn
ing is crouch, silent, comforting
crouch, which only asks Of humanity
that II 1t cannot keep out Of sight, at
least it keep its mouth shut.
Eating is as much social diversion
as 1t is stocking. AS stocking 1t would
become abhorrent and men would fee
to thickets with their meat If eating
were not also social. A dinner, prop
erly considered, is the gentle fourth
or fifth act Of the day. The climax
has been reached. The stress has
been endured, the complications mas
tered, and the mind comes restfully to
the services of the body.

Crazy Autoists.

The recklessness of some AUTOMOBILE
lists passes belief. The Long Island
railroad has been compelled to re-
move the usual lightly built crossing
gates and substitute barriers made of
heavy timber as big as telegraph
poles. This action has been taken be-
cause between July and July 7 there
were no less than six cases in which
drivers forced their machines through
the lighter gates and across the
tracks in front of approaching trains.
II such fools were killed, it would be
small loss. The trouble is that per-
sons so Indifferent to their own safety
are even more Indifferent to the safety
of others.-Chicago Evening Post.

y T IS from the state OF Yucatan,
n Mexico, that the sisal fiber is OBJ
tanned for the manufacture OF
l. binder Irvine for the American
farmers. That far southern state
OF the war-ridden republic also sup
plies most of the raw chicle for the
manufacture of chewing gum, writes
w. d. Hornaday in Grit. These are
the two principal reasons why the re-
cent blockading of the port of Pro
greso by a Carranza war vessel Gre
ated such a stir in certain industrial
circles of the United States.
During the last twenty-five years
the growing and expectation OF sisal
fiber, which is obtained from the
leaves OF the henequin plant, have
brought enormous wealth to Yucatan.
Il is said that Merida Is the home OF
more multimillionaires than any city
of its size in the world. These men
of wealth all made their fortunes out
of the sisal industry.
Up to the beginning Of the present

da was the real money center of Mex
leo. A veritable stream of gold con
stantly flowed out of the local banks
through the channels of trade to 9th,
er parts of country and even into the
larger financial centers of the United
States and Europe. The annual rev
enue which the Yucatan planters OBJ
tanned from their sisal product ranged
from $4,000, 1000 to $40,000,000. These
men have continued to reap large
profits from the industry all through
the war disturbances as the exporta
ton OF the fiber was not interfered
with by the different contending pc
htical elements until recently. There
is at present an unusually large stock
of fiber on hand awaiting export
Most of 1t has been already purchased
by an American company that manu-
features binder Irvine on an extensive
scale. The outgoing shipments of the
product will now be made as rapidly
as ships can take it out Of Progreso

About GirtIes.

Girdles which used to encircle mi
lady's dainty waist are not to be found
in that region this season. They have
moved upward, most of them, to give
the new high-waisted effect. From
this high position they are apt to wan
der in and out of draperies, often
creeping under the full skirt to tie in
part at the front or back OF the
hem. One pretty girdle had three long
loops falling directly under each other,
and in the end of each loop was
caught a full-blown pink rose. An
other girdle of sulphur yellow was SO
completely hidden by the chiffon over
waist that you could only guess at its
presence on the dress.

factions during the last few years, but
the levying of this tribute has been
no burden to them. On the whole, the
state has probably been more prosper
GUS In the face of the revolutions than
any other part of Mexico. This was
due In part to its isolation from the
remainder of the republic. 1t has no
railroad connections with the other
states, with the exception of Cam
peche. The United Railways of Yucca
tan has line that runs to the town
Of Campeche. Just before Diaz re-
signed from the presidency the fed
eral government granted concession
to foreign syndicate for the con.
struction OF railroad from Campeche
to a connection with the National
Tehuantepec railroad, a distance OF
about 400 miles. The surveys for the
proposed line were being made when
the Madero revolt caused a stop to
the work.
What is now the territory of Quin-
tana Roo was formerly part of Yucca
tan. 1t was created about fifteen
years ago and placed under military
rule in order to better cope with the
rebellious Maya Indians. These In
diana are degenerated remnants of a
once powerful and highly civilized
race of people that inhabited ages ago
what is now southeastern Mexico.
The ruins of the former civilization
are scattered through the dense trop-
lcal forests OF Quintana Roo, Yucatan
and Campeche. They consist of large
cities, monuments. temples and va
riety of other interesting works of a
race that is now almost extinct. The
Mayas have never submitted to Span
sh or Mexican rule. Their warriors
ire still carrying on a guerilla fight
against the Mexican settlers who have
.ncroached upon their inhabited do

Besides the sisal fiber and chicle
Quintana Roo, the tropical forests are
the source of large supply Of mahog-
any timber that is exported to the
United States and Europe. On &C
count OF the unsettled condition of af-
fairs most of the mahogany logging
camps have been temporarily aban-
doned and very little of that timber
has been exported for several months.
Always Friendly to Americans.
The people of Yucatan have always
been friendly to Americans. They have
a great admiration for the United
States. In fact, this liking was so
great that the government authorities
there about 1848 during the war be-
tween Mexico and the United States,
made a formal offer that Yucatan be
taken over by the latter country.
This offer was refused by the govern
ment at Washington. Bordering the
then state of Yucatan on the south
was British Honduras. When the pro-
posed annexation to the United States
was refused a proposition was made
to the British government that 1t
take over the state and add 1t to Brit
ish Honduras. This plan also met
with failure.
Politically speaking, the people of
Yucatan have never been in sympathy
with that part OF Mexico which lies to
the north of the Isthmus Of Tehuante-
pee. Even during the long reign of
President Diaz there was at all times
a strong undercurrent of ill-feeling to-
wards the federal administration on
the part of the people there. 1t was
the existence of the opposition that
| caused Diaz to adopt conciliatory tao
tics in his appointments to Office and
general administration. In nearly all
| of his cabinets there was at least one
representative from Yucatan.

the issue of play. La Princesse Ma
