DESTRUCTION OF ARBUTUs.
Probability That We May Need q
Closed Season for Wild Flowers.
From the Waterbury American.

From the Waterbury American.
Every year the recklessness of those
who gather certain varieties of wild
flowers is deplored. and the public Is
warned that the trailing arbutus. the
mountain laurel and other varieties
may become extinct. as the dodo and
the passenger pigeon have become in
bird life, unless moro care is taken to
preserve them. Already 1t is noted that
persons who know of places where
arbutus may be found are keeping this
knowledge to themselves.
Why should there not be closed sea.
son for flowers. as there is for game?
1t would not materially injure any one
II the gathering of certain varieties
Of flowers should be restricted. or even
prohibited, temporarily. until there had
been time for them to become once
more abundant as in former days. 1t
might not be possible to enforce the
law altogether, but penalty for the
gathering, sale or possession OF the
flowers protected would make the ma,
1ority Of people much moro careful and
would preserve in many instances our
most beautiful native blossoms. The
arbutus the mountain Laurel; tae car snd
others that might be named are well
worth the gathering, and which grow
and flourish in spite of reckless hand
sonabie type. People are beginning to
appreciate more and moro the decora-
tive possibilities of flowers once passed
by with indifference and are using
them on their grounds. as well as in
their houses. The spread of nature
study among children has done much
to cultivate a love for the wayside
blossoms. and they could easily be
taught the need of care for the rarer
varieties.
Here is a good opportunity for the
Boy Scouts and Campfire Girls to do a
real service to the country in which
they live, and the flowers would need
no better guardians than these young
people. backed up by legislative au-
thority.

A Use for Napkin Rings.
From the New York Times.

It is understood that the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
tion takes Just pride In the oppor-
tunity it has afforded to its members
to dispose Of their superfuous napkin
rings. which is to say all the napkin
rings they possess. The whole melt
ing-pot plan fires the Imagination. In
Germany the women and children are
bestowinE upon the government all
the copper and iron heirlooms Of the
land to be transformed into ammuni-
ton But the suffragists here, like
the matrons Of the storied past, are
fairly tearing from their fair arms
and fingers and bodices the gold and
silver ornaments which have adorned
them in order to raise money to carry
on their bloodless war. The sacrifice
is splendid, and as the rings. brooches.
chains. gold mesh bags and orna-
melting pot these contributors to the
cause cannot fail to feel the thrill of
1oy that is often the only recompense
Of true heroism.
But for the napkin rings. They are
relics Of departed age. reminders OF
the old folks concerts and the paint
ed panoramas of the Nile. They abide
now in out-of-the-way corners. tar
nished and forgotten. bands OF ola
silver, often affectionately inscribed
at the command of givers long since
turned to dust. They are the sort of
reminders Of gentler but less fastidi-
GUS generation that we do not like
to part with except for some good
reason and have no desire to keep.
The serial napkin went long ago. TO
the melting pot. by all means, with
the rings, and that they may melt up
into millions Of dollars worth Of silver
Is our sincere wish.

More Military Education.
rom the Boston transcripts.


Giving effective direction to very
real force Of public interest in two
questions of moment. the legislature
has ordered an investigation into the
practicability Of providing military
education for boys and also OF creating
a militia reserve. BY the resolve now
passed to engrossment. with the con-
amendment made by the senate. a
board of nine members is authorized
to report on these questions to the
next general court. Six civilians and
three militia officers of captains rank
will constitute the commission which
the governor has already agreed to ap-
point and which will serve without pay
but with a small allowance for neces-
sary expense. In survey Of the field
these men must study they should ap-
preciate at once the large Importance
and the need that Massachusetts,
should fully consider not only wise in
crease Of her military strength, but
also the betterment of her boys as
citizens in peace. The measure of
compulsion which the state may safely
exert in requiring military training is,
Of course. the quantity most in doubt.
No college can demand regular gyna-
nasium work of all its students with
out encountering opposition. and hence
the loss Of some Of the good which it's
unfairly Yet good is accomplished and

stronger. No outcry of the propa-
gandists for peace should frighten the
men who are appointed to make this
important investigation.
