The lost pipe of Hun raider was
found In the garden of a house In an
Essex town over which q German air
ship passed. A portion Of the stem
has been cut and fiattened and upon
1t ts written In indelible Ink, "Karl
Werner, 1313S-A. G." The under side
Of the bowl and the stem have been
notched eleven times and on the side
OF the mouthpiece are more notches.
The finder Of the pipe said: There
was no smell of tobacco about the pipe
and 1t had not apparently been recent
ly smoked. 1t Is possible that 1t was
used by the owner as dry pipe as the
mouthpiece shows signs of hard Bit
ing. The notches cut In the stem may
record the number of times the air

TAKING THE HUBBY SHOPPING
Big Chief of the Household Learns
What Trouble the Wife Always
Has to Experience.

AS to the ACCESSIBILITY of taking ones
husband to the shops. much may be
said on both sides, observes Simeon
Strunsky. In Harper's Magazine. On
the one hand, ii is certain that after
he has spent three hours in chair
while his wife tries on spring suits,
man will have a very definite idea of
what women suffer in the daily task.
The next time his wife comes home
from the shops with headache he is
likely to be more sympathetic.
But then again 1t may be that the
memory of his own bitter ordeal will
prevail and he will carry away with
him more vivid sense of the utilities
In which the life of woman is spent. 1t
all depends on the man, of course. But
the husband endowed with just a bit
of philosophic reflection, planted three
solid hours in u tapestry chair, In an
audience of 300 women and 80 sales
girls, will watch the strained and
tired faces, the tryings-on and divest-
ings, the search after the unattainable
ideal, the final purchase made more
out of WEAKNESS than out of satisfac-
ton; and he cannot help asking HIM
self; "For whom is 1t all?" And he
will say to himself, For us males p
And 1t will make him thoughtful.
Taking along ones husband to the
store as critic and appraiser is of no
use at all. In the first place, his prin-
eiples of criticism are utterly unlike
woman's. His criticism is of the ro-
mite oohnnl He

Found First Diamond.

The first diamond discovered In
GriQualand. South Africa. was found
by the children Of a Dutch farmer,
who for a time used II as a plaything.
The stone was later sent to Cape
Town. where its true nature was rec
ognized, and 1t was subsequently for
warded to Paris, where 1t was ex-
hibited and sold for $500. The valu-
able discovery soon led to other re-
searches, and diamonds were un-
earthed In various places In Griqua-
land West. with the result that, AZ
years ago, the country of the GriQuas,
a mixed race sprung from Dutch set
tiers and native women, was annexed
by Great Britain.
Diamond hunting was at first con-
fined to the banks of the Vaal river,
but In the year of the British occupa-
ton mines were opened In the locality
known as dry diggings." which has
since received the name Of Kimberly.
In 1872 the world was startled by the
discovery OF the Stewart diamond of
2SS% carats. The daily output Of the
consolidated mines at Kimberly just
prior to the outbreak OF the war was
valued at $4,000.

SEvEN-NAMED HERO
Lafayette Only Nineteen When
He Came to America.
Congress Commissioned Him Major
General and Washington Invited
Him Into His Military Family.

Marie Jean Paul Roche wet Gilbert
Motier was born September g. 1857.
You know this seven-named hero bet
ter by his title than by any of his sep
tot names he wac the Marquis de La
fayette.
While the birthday of Lafayette has
not been generally celebrated In the
United States. no 9th of September has
been permitted to pass without some
recognition Of Lafayette's services.
At the age of thirteen he inherited
an immense fortune, and he was only
sixteen when he married the grand
daughter of the Duke de Noailles. De-
spite his aristocratic education and en-
vironment, he was from childhood an
ardent lover of liberty.
Republican anecdotes always de-
lighted me-" he wrote in his memoirs,
land when my new connections wished
TO obtain for me a place at court did
not hesitate displeasing them to pre-
serve my independence"
When he first heard of the Revolu-
ton In America he "espoused warmly
the cause of liberty" and offered his
services to Silas Deane, the American
revolutionary agent In France.
"When presented to Mr.. Deane my
boyish face, for I was scarcely nine
teen years of age, spoke more Of my
ardor in the cause than Of my expert
ence," wrote Lafayette, ''but dweit
upon the effect my departure would
cause In France"
The credit Of the Continental con-
gress was so low that Deane could not
procure a vessel so Lafayette bought
and secretly freighted the ship Victory
to carry himself and dozen or 30
other officers across the Atlantic
Among Lafayette's companions was
Baron Johann de Kalb, a native Of Ba-
verfa, who had long been in the serv.
ice OF France. Against the wishes %
bis relatives and the orders of the
French king Lafayette sailed for Amer
lea. From the Victory he sent mes
sage to his giri-wife:
"From love to me become a good
American; the welfare of America II
closely bound up with the welfare OF
mankind"
Lafayette and his party landed neal
Georgetown, s. O.. In April. 1T77, and
then Travelled by land to Philadelphia
where the congress commissioned thu
nineteen-year-old boy a major general
and Washington invited him to becom,
q member OF his military family.
The boy general joined the Cont
mental army In August, 1777, and In tn,
following month he fought at Brandy
wine. where the Stars and Stripes wer,
first carried into battle. Lafayette
fought as a volunteer, and was badl,
wounded. After several brilliant an
ploits he returned to France In lit,
and was hailed as hero.
During the French revolution he wa
an ardent republican and dropped hi
title when he was made commander Il
chief Of the National Guards. He wa
driven from his country by the ex
tremists, and the Austrians flung hin
into dungeon, where he was confine
for five years.

DOFFlNG THE HAT
PoIiteness Traced Back 10 the
Primitive Times.
Ancient Peoples, as Mark Of submis'
slon, Uncovered Body and surren-
dered Their Clothing.

We consider man a gentleman who
takes Off his hat to a lady. At least
the act Is thought to be gentlemanly,
polite. The origin Of this custom, ike
so many other customs common among
so-called civilized peoples. goes back to
primitive times, says the Salt Lake
Tribune.
When a person was made captive his
conqueror stripped him Of his weapons
and clothing and left him without any
thing he could call his own. The cap
tive was thus made slave, his lack
Of clothing being evidence of his sub
jugation. We need only to look at the
sculptures of the Assyrians to see the
truth of the fact. And in Isaiah 20 "a,
we find the following statement: AND
the Lord said, like as my servant
Isaiah hath walked naked and bare
foot three years for sign, so shall
the king of Assyria lead away the
Egyptians prisoners and the Ethio-
plans captives, young and old, naked
and barefoot"
The first step, then, In tracing the
origin of taking off the hat. Is the
surrender of the clothing among primi-
tive and ancient peoples as mark OF
submission. The next step is the I'M
covering of the body as a mark of rev.
erence. There are all degrees of I'M
covering, though often only the most
valuable parts Of the clothing are taken
off in the presence of superiors.
1t must be remembered that this
act of uncovering the body was cere-
monial In nature and used to show
reverence to a superior. Then came
the use of the ceremonial to propitiate
the dead. We can see remnant OF
this most any time. At funerals and In
our graveyards men take off their hats.
They still take of their hats on enter
ing churches and before the images
Of Christ and the Madonna.
In times OF chivalry men raised their
hats to ladies to show reverence. But
this was only superficial In meaning
A knight would ride down a poor peas
ant woman carrying a large burden
and never think of helping her-least
Of all would he think Of taking of his
hat to her. However, II he heard Of
some beautiful damsel of his own class
In the slightest danger, imaginary Oh
real. he would go to her and, hat In
hand. kneel and dedicate himself to hel
service.
Today much the same things occur
Ordinarily a gay youth forgets to take
or his hat to his mother, yet hs
shows this Difference to his ''best girl
After all 1t is only form, and polite
ness should go deeper than this. How
ever, the form persists, and 1t is Of
some historical interest to remember
that 1t is a remnant of the primitive
stripping of captive by which process
was expressed the fact that he yielded
up all he had. Taking off the hat to 9
wealthy girl means, occasionally. moi
only the yielding up Of all you have
but the getting of all she has. Cere

culation In regard to personal results
