Camping Courtesy.

Good camping grounds should be
the special property of sportsmen and
lovers of the woods, and 1t is a pity
that they should so often be desecrated
by the unappreciative. This the sea-
son when the forest floor will be
strewn with tin cans and crackerboxes,
when the clean woods will be marred
with all sorts of ugly rubbish, and
when the pleasure of late campers
will be half destroyed by the vandal-
ism of their predecessors. Great tracts
of forest will be blackened by flames
set from little campfres. The growth
Of young timber will be checked. And
all the trouble could be banished IL
only people would observe the few SIM
pie rules of the woods! The forest is
the last refuge Of solitude amid beau
ty; therefore do not make its secluded
glades into vulgar picnic grounds. No
blesse oblige there as elsewhere, and
though the after-comer may not know
you he will know what sort of person
you are by the condition Of the camp
ing grounds you leave.-The Country
side Magazine.

MOVING TRAINS AND BULLETS
Fired From Back Platform
Is Explained.

4 correspondent sends these two
questions to the Scientific American:
81. If train was running at a speed
Of 90 miles an hour and a man is sit,
ling on the back end of this train
with a gun that would shoot at the
rate of GO miles an hour and he shoots
from the back end of this train in
opposite direction, what effect would
this condition have on the bullet?
''2. If the man with the gun was on
the front end of this train and was to
shoot back at a man on the back end
Of the train, and the train to be GO
ing go miles per hour and the gun
would shoot at the rate of 60 miles
an hour, what would be the result?"
To which the editor replies:
81. In the case you propose, the bull
let, after it left the gun, would still
move forward with the speed of the
train and backward with the speed
given it by the powder. Since these
two speeds are equal and opposite in
direction, the bullet would drop to the
BIOunu uIFecIly uHueF the point where
It left the gun.
'2. In this case the man at whom
the bullet was shot would be killed,
Il the aim was good. This may be
made clear, perhaps, by asking if you
could not throw ball on a train to
4 man to the rear of the place where
you are standing? Could you not toss
q biscuit to a person in the next seat
In a car either toward the front or
rear? If you could toss a biscuit,
you could fire a bullet in either direc-
bullet is fired. This matter seems very
simple to US. We do not know why it
causes so much discussion. "-Scien-
tific American.

DAYS OF EXTRAvAGANT DRESS
Empress Eugene, Who Boosted She
Never Wore the Same Costume
Twice, Has Many Imitators.

1t Is true that the cost of woman's
dress has so increased that it is not
given to the many to be as truly ele-
CANT as their grandmothers were able
to be at comparatively small cost. But
then, those were the days when an
elaborate ball gown consisted of yards
OF fiounces Of tarlatan or some other
light and uncOStly material.
Empress Eugene, it is said, never
wore the same gown twice. She it was,
by the way, who made Worth, the re-
nowned Paris cOuturier, famous. The
great luxury in those days was to wear
several ball gowns during the course
OF single ball. Dressing rooms were
provided and the ladies retired, to re-
appear respondent and as fresh as at
the beginning of the evening. The
gowns of the day, which were fiimsy Of
train, and spread by crinolines, suffer-
ed much from an evenings wear !;
hence these wasteful ways.
There is tale of the lovely Empress
Elizabeth of Austria which recounts
her appearing at function IN a white
tulle gown, flounced and ample, deco
rated with garlaHds of real camellias,
and changing both gown and camellias
every now and then, to preserve the
impression of absolute and uncrumpled
freshness.-Vogue Magazine.

ORIGIN OF THE NECK RUFF
Said to Have Been Devised by Span.
ish Princess for a Very Par
ticuiar Reason.

1t is said that the neck ruff, the sort
worn by Queen Elizabeth, which may
be considered as the ancestor OF most
of the modern starched muslin neck
wear, was devised by a Spanish prin-
cess to cover a scar or blemish on her
neck.
These dainty articles of apparel
were considered a tremendous extrav-
agance when they were first intro
duced into England. For they could
not be worn after washing. England
knew nothing of the art Of Starching
and the starched muslin was imported
from the continent.
Later some clever person, on the
lookout for a new vocation, took les
sons in starching, and set up starch
ing shop in London. Even then starched
neckwear was considered a vanity.
Philip Stubbes, who wrote many clever
and satirical words anent the fashions
Of his day-and published his writings
in 15S3-spoke of starch as the devils
liquor"
In those days, as in these, the collar
that fiared high and wide at the back
of the neck was held out with sup
portasses or underprops OF wire, COW
cred with gold thread, silver or silk.

BABIES MUST BE MoTHERED
Have Natural Desire, Which, Not Be-
Ing Gratified, Has Been Known
to Cause Death.

In discussing measures directed to-
ward the prevention Of infant mortal
ity, Dr.. S. G. Moore of Huddersfield,
England. specialist in hygiene and
sanitation, told the Royal College Of
Physicians in London of poor mother
who was taken with her triplets to a
hospital, where the babies died one
after another. The mother never took
any interest in the babies, showed no
anxiety about them, nor even grieved
at their death, which led Doctor Moore
to the following comment:
when, notwithstanding everything
that was being done, the last baby
seemed likely to die, said to the
nurse: Whatever is the matter? How
10 1t that nothing seems to answer?
In manner which showed that she
had solved the problem, she replied:
The child has never been mothered,
aud babies need mothering.'
II had frequently heard similar ex-
pressions Of opinion. but there was
something in the circumstances, or
perhaps in the tones Of the nurses
voice or in her manner, which caused
me to realize as had not formerly
done the importance and Significance
Of what the nurse called 'motherlng.'
No doubt robust infants can survive
in its absence. but. on the other hand,
it is well to recognize the fact that
there is an inherent instinct and appe-
tite In the young mammal to huddle
and nestle against the mothers body
and to receive warmth and nourish-
ment therefrOm.
"This experience has led me to be-
lieve that In all cases these things are
necessary for the well-being Of infants, !
and that there may be certain cases
where the lack Of them determines the
balance against the infant, even to tha
extent Of causing its DEATH"

GERMAN RUBBER TRADE HIT
War Has Had q Disastrous Effect on
That Industry Of the kaiser's
Empire.

The war has had its effect on the
rubber trade in Germany. The manu-
facture of rubber sporting goods, toys,
articles of luxury and the like has been
almost entirely curtailed. had de-
mand existed, the lack Of the neceS-
sary raw materials, even in substitute
qualities, would not have been forth
coming. Business is very slack in san
itary and surgical goods, because the
essential, fine crude rubber can only
be had for military purposes, and
skilled labor, which is very important
in this line, is very scarce.
The enormous consumption Of solid
and pneumatic tires by the German
army has given the manufacturers all
they can handle. Business decreased
appreciably, however, towards the
close Of the 1915. The cycle tire in
dustry has not been favored by war
conditions. Only reclaimed rubber has
been available for making castings and
only very limited quantities Of crude
rubber have been allowed for inner
tubes. The restrictions on the use Of
cotton fabrics has practically stopped
the making of cycle tires for other
than military purposes. Popular
