QUICK SUCCESSION.
Ample Evidence That We Are All OF
Us Very Transitory and of Little
Real Importance in the
World.

The pictures of women's fashions of
twenty years ago look as quaint to US
today as the fashions OF like period
of time prior thereto probably looked
a score of years ago, and as odd and
queer as the fashions of a similar
length of time before that doubtless
seemed to the observer of two-scorc
years ago, end so on. At almost any
date the modes Of decade or two
previous appear more or less ridicu-
lous, and this was probably so all the
way down the corridars Of time clear
to Eve, when, there being no fashions
to look back to. there was, of course,
nothing queer about them.
In the days of tight skirts we looked
back with amusement to the days of
hoops and crinoline. When bangs
were in vogue we smiled at the rec
objection of the chignon and waterfall,
just as the days of the straight front
found the recollection of the Grecian
bend highly diverting. At any date,
from the present back to the time of
Godey's Ladies' Book, one could pick
up fashion publication of few years
before and enjoy hearty laugh.
And so it will doubtless ever be;
the correct thing of yesteryear is the
laughing-stock of today, and the modes
of the present will be either humorous
or pathetic, according to how you look
at them, few years hence.
And it is not alone in the matter of
woman's garments that this rule holds
good The cabinet organ, once sup
posed to be a musical instrument;
the Populists, thirty years ago sus-
pected of being political party; the
silver-tongued statesmen of yore,
with their tremendous pomposity and
appalling emptiness; Uncle Toms
Cabin" and "Ten Nights in Bar"
ROOM" once venerated as vehicles car
rying messages of vital import; all
are now the subjects of iests by the
light-minded.
The elocutionist, the dodo, the torch
light parade, the bluegrass cure, spir-
it-rappiugs, the original Swiss Bell
Ringers, r,adstones, croquet and very
many more once held the center of the
stage, but having served well or i'll
their predestined purposes, are gone
forever. The world does novel

Use for Prisoners of War.

Austria has discovered scientific
use for prisoners of war. Doctor Pooh,
professor of anthropology and ethnol-
ogy at the University of Vienna, has
been granted the sum of $500 by the
government to conduct anthropological
researches among the captives of Aus
trian arms. He will measure their
skulls, tabulate the color of hair and
eyes, collect data as to dialect and
otherwise subject these human speci-
mems to thes scientific "once-over'
many times repeated. The good doc
tor is said to be wildly enthusiastic
over the prospect of SO large and va
ried collection of human material
for his invs Jtigation.

Hat pueIs Arc RIoodIeas.

Women like to wear large hats
there is a certain air to lem-but
ever since they became fashionable
they have been causing several hun
dred feminine encounters. These hat
duels always start the same way. Two
women, each with big white hats, were
seated in a subway train recently.
Suddenly the stiff, saw-like edge Of
one hat swept the other woman's back
hair. The one who had been wound
ed turned and glared at the offender,
and in SO doing inadvertently, of
course, sawed the offenders neck with
her own hat Il don't care; she
needn't think she owns this car" one
exclaimed aloud to her companion.
"She can't be a lady or she wouldn't
act that way" the other remarked
scornfully. The average man who over
hears and oversees one of these hat
duels is likely to be unduly alarmed
while it lasts, and wonder why there
Is no bloodshed.-New York Times.

WASHINGTON. April 6.-Another
days development has increased the
probability of a rupture with Ger

Direct evidence, in the form of a

Some time ago plans for an Elks'

a possibility of Tenth street being
cut through Delaware avenue and
taking the Delaware Avenue Church
and part of the Elks' property. The
second was that the Elks had no de-
