Baths Of Ancient Portugal.

Some idea of the facilities for bath
ing enjoyed by the public in thoss days
may be obtained from. a bronze inscrip-
ton, dating from the first century A.
D., found some forty years ago, near
AljusTel, in Portugal The inscrip-
ton relates to the monopolIes Of vari-
Gus public services in connection with
the mining camp of Vipasca. The
lessees Of the baths were bound to pro
vide hot water from dawn until the
second hour of the night" Freedmen
and slaves in the employment Of the
procurator, soldiers and children were
admitted free. The baths, made Of
copper, were thoroughly cleaned once
a month and smeared with fresh tai
low. The charges for men were twice
the amount of that for women.

WAS FIRST TO FIND TOBACCO
Columbus Discovered Natives Smoking
Weed on HIs Arrival In
Cuba in 1892.

When Columbus landed In Cuba In
November, 1892, he was surprised to
find natives putting smoke from their
mouths and noses" Their crude cigars
consisted of leaves Of tobacco rolled
within the sheaths Of maize heads.
The discoverer Of the new world was
also the first man from the old world
to discover tobacco. Spaniards who
invaded Paraguay, In 1903, were met
by the natives, whose weapons were
small tubes through which they
sQuirted tobacco juice to blind the
white men. One of the Spanlards,
GOnzalo de Oyiedo, went back to
Spain with some tobacco plants, which
he cultivated. This was the first oc-
casion on which tobacco was brought
to Europe
The origin Of the word nicotine is IN
teresting. In 1850 Jean Moot, an am
bassador to France, bought soma tobac-
co seed at Lisbon from q Flemish
captain just back from Florida, Moot
cultivated the plant and presented
some specimens to his queen, Cath
crime de MedicL For some time the
plant was known as "herbs de Ia
refine" (the queens plant), but this
name, being too long, gave place to
nicotiana, which survives among bot.
anists to this day.
Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Francis
Drake brought tobacco to England In
1886, but they. were not the first to In
troduce 1t, although Sir Walter Is gen
orally given credit for having done
much to popularize smoking at that
time-LOndon Answers

They were standing out there on the
porch together, a porch decorated Won
drously with pine boughs and ferns
Inside the orchestra was playing a
dreamy waltz. Instinctively she
seemed to sense the coming of a great
moment, Cautiously she looked around.
They were standing In a shaft of light
coming from the interior and could be
easily seen. Shall we walk-around
the block" she asked hesitatingly. The
young man at her side also sensed the
great moment. He could almost pic
ture the future, the announcement, his
dad and mother, the little church
around the corner, and then instinct
lively he grasped her arm, "No; let's
go inside" he said.-London Punch

sued a fruitless search for many days,

found to be correct. The man, whose

Thanksgiving Day Proclamation

In conformity with a wise and
ancient custom the American
people are once again prepared to
acknowledge that bounty with
which Divine Providence has
favored them, and TO offer up
heartfelt thanks for the good
ness and manifold blessings of
God.
Already our harveSts have
been secured and garnered, while
every indication points to a wide
revival of material health and
happiness. both in the world OF
business and in the body polite.
Our ship of state, after the tenn
pest which recently rocked the
nations of Europe, rests on an
even keel. Peace. progress and
plenty are abroad in our land,
over which waves, as pledge
of security, all uusnllied flag.
Not alone by reason of our
peculiar national prosperity are
we, as a people, beholden to tl'r
Mighty Giver of all good gifts
for His protection and guidance,
but in comparing our state with
recent overwhelming disasters in
the far Orient, and with the
fearful miseries in desolated
Near East. (where unnumbered
thousands of orphans alone
subsist through philanthropy of
Christian nations). the patent
fact of our bountiful blessings is
made the more apparent.

twelve months now drawing to a
close.

East. will be observed December
2, according to an announcement
made yesterday when President
Calvin Coolidge Woodrow Will

heartily endorsed the national
observance of the Day.
Golden Rule Day." will be
universally observed as an ex-
preston OF good will and
practical method of aiding the
orphans in the Near East who
would perish without assistance.
On this day millions of families
will substitute a simple menu,
similar to that served orphans in
the Near East Relief orphanage
overseas, and contribut the
difference between this meal and
the one they would have eaten.
Another plan is for the usual
meal to be eaten, and the differ
euce between its cost and the
cost of a meal served to tie or
phans be donated.
Calvin Coolidge, in his en-
dorsement of the day states: 1T
Is with a great deal of salts

proposal to observe an Inter.
national Golden Rule Dinner

cember 1923. / feel sure that
this suggestion will meet with
very widespread approval and
will bring more closely to mind

method for help, but the highest
expression of sympathy By shar-
