THE TURKISH BATH.
Is ONE OF THE BEST iNDUcERs TO
CLEANLINESS KNOWN TO MAN, /.

1t Is a curious thing that q nation
that prides itself upon cleanliness does
not make more use than it does Of the
Turkish bath. For mere daily Tubing
In cold or even tepid water does not
really cleanse the skin 80 efSectually as
one Turkish bath will do. And vet,
except in our larger towns, Turkish
bath is quite unheard of, and very Of
ten when one does exist 1t is conduct
ed In SO unattractiye fashion that a
lady can not venture to 60 there. One
often wonders why we can not manage
these things as they do abroad, but
somehow, with the best intentions In
life, we don't seem to.
Where Turkish bath is we'll man.
aged, 1t Is the greatest possible luxury,
In the world. The regular use of thia
will insure the skin being kept per-
fectly free from all impurities that 1t
may collect from the dust of the at
mosphere. This dust is SO impalpable
that one does not notice its existence,
and 1t clogs and chokes up the pores
of the skin before we are aware of it,
existence.
Turkish baths have been known in
some form or another from the very
earliest days of antiquity, and are gen.
orally built and managed on the same
principle. First you enter cool room,
where the clothes are removed, and
then, in loose slippers and covered with
a bath towel, you 60 into a warm
room, where you sit, often drinking
hot coffee, till you are in a profuse per-
spiration. You are then taken into a
much hotter room, which is filled with
steam, and here the skin is shampooed
and rubbed till ali the loose particles
comes away, and any one who tries
Turkish bath for the first time will
be utterly surprised at the amount Of
waste dead skin that is detached by
this process.
After Turkish bath the whole body
feels light and buoyant. The skin feels
fresh and clean, and delicious sensa-
ton of rest is experienced. For many
diseases, such as colds and coughs,
sleeplessness, ssoutness, rheumatism,
liver troubles, etc., these baths are a
complete remedy. After bodily fatigue
they are of great use as they bring re-
pose and ease to the limbs, and, IN
cases of great mental strain, they are
found to be as valuable.
1t is, however, impossible for every
one to share in the benefits of these
baths. They may live at too great a
distance in the country, or not be able
to obtain this luxury in the town in

Cuba is known in history under sew
eral names. The first was Antilla
then Juana, after Spanish prince.
Fernandina came third, followed by
Santiago, and the Isle of Ave Maria.
The original Indian name, Cubanacan,
signifying where gold is found" was
finally adopted and usage shortened it
to the first two syllables.
