Why No Smoke in Caessr7

Sweet lavender is now on the mar
het and on the side-table and the
smell of it is clean, sweet, and de-
Ncious. But did you ever smoke it?

pay more for his pipeful. And then
comes the glad news that We are

so comes Madrid professor. inquir-
ing what the ancient Romans smoked.
Fine old pipes have been dug up in
Spain from Roman settlements, but
they have no trace of tobacco or
opium. Yet they are adorned with
bas reliefs picturing the lavender
plant. And in 1276-before tobacco
came to Europa Spanish writer
said that whoever smokes lavender
feels active, ardent, and vigorous"
But why is it that smoking naycy
crept into Roman literature?

addition to tn Sc b,g fellows, there
are number OF properties that are
very considerable contributors.
1T may JOLT the town to say that it
is indebted to Sam Newshou.e for
for much OF its prestige Up to the
time when be wandered in there with
a bundle of British capital and started
to drive a long tunnel through S-a'on

aud on to u poiut underneath Central
City, Idaho Springs was not mining
.camp. but a summer resort for iuva-I
lids and tourists While it is true
that NewLouse drove his tunnel only
part of the distance, he gave the
impulse whereby 1t was complete I.
The enormous dump OF waste rock at
the portal of the tunnel stands as a
monument to his enterprise. The
tunnel, five miles iu length, was fin
ished, I eleve, under the manage
ment OF George A. Collins, now gen
eral manager of the Mary Murchy
mines at ST Elmo.
"As matter OF fact, Idaho Springs
ought not to be mining town, but
health resort. For it has all the nat
ural advantages TO MAKE u, through
its great mineral springs, blessing
TO humanity. One OF the most cee-
brased physicians and chemists In the
world told me personally that these
were the most potential healing wat
ere 10 the world for the cure of certain
ailments. Acting upon its opportun-
ity, the company that is now operat-
log these min raj springs, is building
a health resort of the right kind, aud
may 10y its efforts turn the place into
it's manifest destiny.
"The Newhouse tunnelis great un
derxround thoroughfare. 1t has in
tersected multitude of the mineral
veins and rendered them available for
exploitation, but it has not been used
to the extent that Its merit warrants.
Nevertheless it is largely the basis OF
mineral production il very large
territory Therefore, when we speak
of idaho Springs as productive
camp, our thoughts go back to the
tunnel when it had no standing in
that line-to the time when Sam New.
house broke in. One Of its great ac-
ceseories is the almost uuexampled
water power for milling Anotler is
found IN its direct connection with

Colorado and Southern railway. 1t
is very gratifying to know that the
miners thereabouts are so highly
prosperous.

The Junior School Excursion.
SCRIBE.

On Friday, February IA, the Junior
schools marched across the river to G.
M. Blake's farm, for the purpose Of
looking over the Indian cemetery located
there and gaining general outdoor
knowledge.
4 After marching up to Mr.. Blake's
residence and being warmly welcomed
by him, we sang the "Wesk Virginia
Hills'' for him and his family and then
marched on toward the cemetery.
From the hill side we had fine view
of the Miller Miners and the stone
quarry with, its huge icicles, pointing
like an index finger, which seemed to
say, if you do not live right, you will
go that way, After ascending a steep
slope we at last reached the cemetery
and Mr.. Blake being. called on for a
speech, by Principal Cross, gave a very
interesting one on the Indian, their
ways and mode OF living.
After the speech, the pupils being
instructed before hand got busy with
note book and pencil They found some
stones which contained mica from which
lubricant and isin glass are made,
also there were several kinds Of moses
licken growing on decayed logs and on
stones.
They saw many kinds of trees, shrubs
and plants on the trip, viz:
Spice wood, cinnamon, white oak,
walnut, dogwood, hickory, locust, null
berry, pin oak, poplar apple, beech,
sassafas, maple, sugar maple, mountain
sunnac, wild cherry, wild plum, thorn,
winter green, crab apple, black oak,
water maple, sour gum, chestnut, pine,
elder, willow, sycamore, service-tree,
laurel, jack-oak and haw bush or haw
thorn
When the pupils had finished taking
notes we moved on to the top of the
hill where we could look down and see
the town of Junior with her mines,
and the winding Tygarts Waller river
which reminds us of the river of life, as
we move either to the right or left to
pass some obstacle which opposes US.
We now started to retrace our steps
and the noise from SO many brought a
very large animal from his hiding place.
AS he started toward some of the girls
they made dash for tall timber. The
animal was thought to be everything,
from mouse to bear. 1t seems to be
unknown, although it had a very short
tale and moved by taking long leaps.
While yet on the hill the first and
second grade teachers arranged their
pupils for a picture. then passed on down
the hill to the Indian graves where the
other teachers had their pupils in position
some on the Indian graves, some
among the trees. After taking their
picture we passed on down the hill
and homeward bound
We were all tired, but felt. well repaid
for the time spent Ia yerrs to come
the boys and girls will look back to this
excursion and perhaps remember it only
OF this term of school.
