IN THE MUSEUM. 2O1G A. ID.
The Derby Hat One of CuriOsities
Exhibited.

Mother, what Is that strange thing
that looks like n black soup kettle up
side down"
THAT, my child is a derby hat 1t
was extensively worn. during the lat
ter part of the nineteenth and early
part of the twentieth centuries"
who were the Derbies. mother,
and were they crazy, that they should
have worn such an odd-looking
thing?"
mo. no, Gaspard! You misunder-
stand me! The article is a derby hat.
Practically all males affected them
for "A number of years. They were
familiarly referred to as 'derbies.' My
great-grandfather- great-great-
grandfather, Gaspard-knew Of peo-
pie who had worn them. He told me
that they were also known as stiff
cadles. tin roofs and hard kellies."
How strange. mother! What was
their particular virtue? They must
have been very healthful or very COM
Portable"
so one might imagine, Gaspard but
my great-grandfathe has frequently
given me to understand that the op-
posite was the case. They We're nei-
thcr healthful nor comfortable.
Great grandfather told me
with his own lips that the excessive
pressure of the hats against the skulls
of the wearers frequently shut off the
blood supply from the hair roots and
caused the wearers' heads to become
as hairless as eggplants. After few
months exposure to the weather these
hats usually became an unpleasant
green in color. They were hot In
summer and cold in winter. They
were kept on the head with the great
est difficulty. and slight breeze
would dislodge them and deposit them
with sickening thud in the roadway.
Owing to their brittle construction
such thuds usually dented them Sc
verely. and left traces which defied
removal"
But mother, how was II possible
for an age which produced the X-ray,
the wireless telegraph, the automobile
and tha aeroplane to permit itself TO
wear such n monstrosity?"
"Your point is we'll taken. Gaspard; ;
but YOU must remember that the same
age also produced the great European
war
"Of course, mother! 1t was an age
on the borderline between genius and
insanity. Let us go into the gasoline
room and see whether the attendant
will allow us to smell the gasoline"
VERY well. Gaspard. Strap on your
motor skates and come with mother

VERDUN CATHEDRAL \ TARGET.

Watched Smelling of Ancient Pile

The cathedral cat Nerdun), with it's
bisfop's palace and cloisters-all fine
old structures OF which the founda-
tons were laid in the eleventh and
twelfth ccnturies--must, from its
commanding position overlooking the
town, be singled out for destruction.

dral that one morning. ana some of
them were the terrible 3S0's. the

The interior of the cathedral.
blurred with a half-inch layer of

disorder. Four or five shells have
torn large holes through the roof OF
the nave, and twice as many more
have played havoc with the chapels
and aises at the side. one has fallen
through the gilded canopy over the
high altar and broken one OF the four
supporting columns, which before

Of the bishops palace above.
This destruction of the cathedral Is
typical of the purposeless barbarity OF
the whole proceeding. The wiping
out of the town can serve no military
purpose. There are no stores Of mu-
nitons or railway communications TO
be demolished. Naturally there are
no troops quartered in the town. and
now all extensive movements Of con-
voys are conducted by ether roads
than those leading through the town.

A LITTLE WANT ADS MEANING
Cry for Mother to Come Home VIII
BE Answered, Sooner or Later.

Tho little advertisement in the
classified columns OF the daily papers
begging n mother to come home be-
cause two of her little children are
<rying for her. and fretting them
selves sick for her, is the human
touch that brings the world to its
knees. The note is signed by two
other ncstlngs of the brood, which
gives n sharpness to the poignancy
nothing else could. II is the voice Of
nature crying out to nature.
Will the mother heart, stored with
the mothers love that keeps the old
world alive, hear, and, il hearing, an
swer? II would seem that the moth
er heart that brought life to such
filial love would fly back to her nest,
no matter what the barriers.
And somewhere that the little
birds Of this home nest knew nothing
of, Is there sad-faced and heavy
souled mother suffering dagger
thrusts in her heart because she can
hear those cries without ears, and
see the tears on the little faces with
out her eyes. No doubt. storms do
not beat down, or uproot, or mortally
MAIN the mother love. 1t survives
all injuries. resists the shock of all
wounds. 1t Is the deathless thing.
She may harden herself for a time
TO listen to those cries without seem
ing to hear, and to blind herself to
the sight of little hands stretched out
to her, but it will be only for time.
Some day her eyes fill hurt too
much for sight of them. her lips
twitch and burn too much for the
touch of childish faces against hers.
and her arms ache too much to feel
little bodies within them. to he re-
sisted. Then mother will come back
and the crying and the fretting will
be ended. She doesn't need to be
told by cold type they need her and
are worrying themselves sick for her.
She knows that.-Pittsburgh Leader

A certain Woodworking farmer had

whose resources had been sadly taxed
was loath Ia part with the money for
the instrument. but finally did so.
The boy made rapid progress and be.
came so proficient that half violin
was no longer good enough for him.
Again he went TO the music store with

showed the entire stock OF yiollns. The
parent was apparently dissatisfied
with all OF them. and his gaze wan

thing better. Finally he saw a vlolon.
