THE Hon. Charles Edgar Hogg, eS-
congressman from the Fourth West
Virginia district, wants to be reading
clerk OF the House OF Representatives,
and he will continue to want it. There
are too many Democrats from more re-
liably Democratic states. and one OF
them will knock that persimmon. Our
friend Mr.. Hogg's namo is appropriate
enough, but he isn't able to deliver .hc
requisite amount OF political goods.

They are telling story that the tax collector

compelled to arrest q young woman for nom

collector is not giant and he couldn't lift her.

didn't move her, and an arrest WAS lost by in
sufficient constabuiary.

SOME VERY ANCIENT BATHS.
A Model OF Them Being Set Up at the
Museum of Hygiene.


nR. WALES Is SETTING UP AT THE
~ Army Medical Museum a most interesting
model of certain ancient Roman baths, the
remains OF which have recently been dug UP at
Deth. England having been constructed at a
period some little time before the birth OF
christ From date SO far back that history
has no record of it the baths of Bath have been
used for their medicinal effects. When the in
vaders from Rome came they built great struc-
lures on the spot, which for centuries have been
buried beneath ruins. Lately the spade and
the pickax have been set at work to dig out the
remains, and most interesting relics have been
exposed.
The model at the museum shows only a part
Of the original buildings, which are represented
80 far as they have been unearthed, in the very
middle part of the city of Bath. the present
streets crossing at higher level. There is
shown in the oldest built section vast apart
ment that was heated by fires below, and in
which the bathers of twenty centuries past
enjoyed the pleasures of unlimited perspi-
ra ton. Attached to this were warm plunges and
Il big cold plunge sixty feet in length
subsequently, as the building plans show.
another great structure was added on, with a
swimming tub 100 feet in length, wherein the
bathers might disport themselves. Along both
sides of this huge plunge bath were high
couches of stone, upon which the swimmers
might recline and be scraped with knives, in
the old Roman fashion, by slaves.
Thus far the building described is prehistoric,
but the next addition that was made to it is
known to have been erected in the year 1927.
1t contains further provisions for bathing. of a
similar nature, and to the whole has been added
within the last few years huge editice that
includes pump ROOM" where people come
to drink, and a number Of single bath rooms,
in which frequenters may find private quarters
to observe the way in which these several parts
of this ancient establishment have been added
on, each one being at higher elevation than
the next of earlier date. because of the covering
up Of the old-time buildings with the dust and
ruins OF centuries.

used. Sash curtains Of muslin with fine dotted
effect. and hung so as to be simply pushed back

room like this many details would come in
which have left out in this brief summary
where nothing in the way Of ornament solely
has been touched upon. The idea, however.
might be elaborated and Q really charming
room gotten up at small outlay OF money, as
the chintz is so inexpensive. and probably old
furniture would furnish suitable shapes to en-
beilish in this way. OF all things not to be
