DID THE ANc1ENrs sMoKE7
ArchaeoIogists Assert Excavaitio ons O4
 Queer Pipes Are Proof That They Did.


 Tn England, Ireland, Germany, Swift zerland and France old pipes made of clay, wood and metal, have frequently been found and they closely resemble modern pipes.
 I Certain rchaeologists have now come forward to claim that the an, clients must have smoked, as the exist ence of the old pipes cannot be ex- plained on any other theory. Some of the pipes, they point out, date back to the Roman and iMerovingian epochs, and, so far as can be discovered, all are apparently genuine.
 Tn several old .autsAors, they say, pas sages can be found (which prove clear ly that certain ancient peoples were accustomed to inhale the vapor of plants, both for the purpose of becom- ing exhilarated and of curing. certain diseases. Herodotus says that the in habitants of the great islands of the Araxes, which is supposed to be the modern Volga, "were wont to throw piles of fruit on fire and then to in hale the vapor, with the result that they became as drunk as ever the Greeks became after drinking wine, and the more fruit they threw on the fire the more drunk they became.
 Pomponius Mela, the Roman geog- rapher tells som ewhat similar story about certain Thracian tribes. They knew nothing about wine, he says, but when they feasted they threw seeds on a fire, and the vapor which arose made them just as lively as though they had become drunk with wine. A work, attributed to Plutarch, further says that these seeds were obtained from a grass which grew beside the rivers of Thrace.
 Pliny says that the vapor of plants was used to cure diseases, and he espe- cially mentioned that in some in stances it was inhaled through tube, in the same manner as tobacco is now smoked. "The smoke of dried colts foot and roots. inhaled through tube or reed" he says, is considered an ad- mirable cure for cough. It is neces- sary, however, to take sup of wine every time the smoke is inhaled"
 From these and other passages it is evident that in ancient times certain barbarous races inhaled vapor, and that in some instances pipes were used.
 A curious fact, by the way, says the New York Times, is that many ot the ancient pipes found in Ireland are very small, and there is a popular be- lief that they have never been smoked except by fairies. If the ancient Danes or Milesians ever smoked them, they must have used something much stronger than tobacco, as otherwise they would have been obliged to fill them several times in succession in or der to get a comfortable smoke.

JUSTICE IN MOROCCO.
Runishmer mt and Summary Exeeuti on of the ASsaxsin of Christian
 Doctor.

An article describing the arrest and execution of the Moorish fanatic who murdered Dr. Cooper, British mis- sionary in Fez, on October IT, appears in the London Times from the Fez cor respondent of that journal. After mentioning the arrest of the assassin an the shrine where he had taken re- fuge, the correspondent says:
 Within half an hour the assassin was brought into the sultan's presence His majesty, who was seated in chai under a tall archway, in full sight ot all his viziers, officials, and some hun dreds of troops, ordered the prisoner to be brought before him. MT. Has side in order that we might hear what passed. The murderer was man of apparently some 40 years of age of tall stature and not unpleasing counte- nance
 "He confessed to deliberately shoot ing Dr. Cooper because he was Chris tian Up to this time the news of pr. Cooper's death had not been received. The sultan therefore ordered the man to be publicly fogged for his attack upon Dr. Cooper. and the man received several hundred blows from leather thongs across his hips and thighs, ad- ministered by soldiers in the presence of his majesty and the entire court and troops. He bore his thrashing with great fortitude, and on it's com pletion was able to rise up without assistance and walk.
 'sHe was then ordered to be publicly exhibited in the streets; and, mounted upon donkey and guarded by soldiers. he was taken from the palace for this purpose.
 1t was at this moment that the news of Dr. Cooper's death was received The sultan, who was still seated in the great courtyard of the alace, ordered the public exhibition O. he murderer to be stopped and, aft consultation with his viziers, comma ed the mans immediate execution, requesting MT Hastings and myself to be present, together with all his viziers.
 ''In quarter of an hour all was over, The murderer was shottin the arsenal square, which had been quickly cleared of the usual crowd of people. He re nained extraordinarily plucky to the end"

MAKING BABY HARDY.
Advice for Young Mothers as to the Bathing, Clothing and Care
 of Infa ntS.

Watch the temperature of baby s room. Always have thermometer in every room where you carry baby. Normal temperature, as we all know. is 6s or 70 degrees, but experience has proved that all babies cannot at once be brought down to this degree, par ticularly winter baby. It is well to begin with 72 degrees, or even "A de- grees, and slowly drop to 70 degrees, and later to 68 degrees, says the New York Herald.
 A healthy baby is always 8 fat baby. Babies do not take after father or mother or grandfather or grandmoth- CT in being thin. Children may, and certainly do, follow in the footsteps of their forefathers. But all healthy babies are fat babies. Therefore they all feel the heat. Do not weaken them by keeping them in constant per spiration. This of itself will give them cold.
 When bathing baby, from the very day of his birth, souse cold water on his chest and head after his bath. This will strengthen his chest, close the pores and prevent colds.
 These remarks presuppose the healthy, properly fed baby. The baby that is not we'll fed can never be tough ened. He will not be ball of fat, that you can roll about with more or less unconcern, but sickly, puny little thing that must be watched at every turn. But the we'll fed-that is to say, the properly fed-baby will be fat and healthy, other things being equal, and can, therefore, be easily hardened.
 Tougher, then, the exterior of baby all you can. Tend him with the great est care. Have him always exquisite in his rosy 1oveliness, but see to it that that loveliness is firm, hard flesh that can endure all our sudden climatic changes. But the interior-never, never try to harden that. Guard his stomach against any change. Do not experiment with foods and sweet meats, and this and that change of diet.
