‘Mighty Title Borne by
Many Unworthy Rulers
Caesar was a title assumed by Octavianus, adopted son of the great dictator, Julius Caesar, and was by him
handed down to his adopted son, Tiberius. It continued to be used by
Caligula, Claudius and Nero as members, either by adoption or female deacent of Caesar's family; but though
the family became extinct with Nero,
g@ucceeding emperors still retained the
mame as part of their title, and it was

White House Baths
“OQharming Dolly Madison,” one of
the most gracious of White House
mistresses, set aside rooms for bathing, and instituted the first Presidential bathtubs. These bathtubs remained
in the White House only until the entrance of Andrew Jackson, first plebefan President, who promptly chucked
them out of doors for representing
eomething decidedly undemocratic,
and therefore offensive’ to the common people. However, the bathtub
returned With the fastidious Fillmore
to remain evermore enshrined, although the Fillmore tub has long since
been replaced.
Unfounded Popular Belief
That a fire caused by lightning can
not be extinguished with water is an
old popular belief which still survives
in many parts of the country, says an
article in Pathfinder Magazine. Fire

the practice to prefix it to their own
mameés, as Imperator Caesur, Domitlanus Augustus. When Hadrian adoptAelius Verus, he allowed the latter to
take the title of Caesar, and from this
time, though the title Augustus continued to ‘be confined to the reigning
emperor, that of Caesar was also
granted the second person in the state
and the heir presumptive to the throne.
After the death of Nero, his name was
adopted as a kingly title by succeedfing Roman emperors. This practice
continued, and the same title was used
fm modern times, as in the case of
kaiser and czar.
Source of Fabled River
Styx Merely Waterfall
Bolos, a village on the slopes of *
Mount Helmos, not far from Akrata
im the division of southern Greece
known as Achae, Is near the supposed
gite of the fabled River Styx. In
Greek mythology the Styx is a mighty
river, the tenth part of the water of
Oceanus, which flows in the lower
world. It is described by Homer and
Hesiod as the. terrible black water
falling from a high precipice and dashing itself upon a lofty rock, through
which it passed and then fell into the
Crathis.
The fabled waters of the Styx have
been identified by students of antiquity as the two slender cascades fallimg over a high perpendicular precipice of Mount Helmos, near Solos.
After winding among a labyrinth of
rocks the water unites to form a mountain torrent which eventually joins the
River Akrata (Crathis). Superstitious
feelings of dread still attach to the
water, which is considered of a pecullarly noxious character.
Pliny Stirred to Wrath
Those who have watched some volwnteer fire companies in action will
be amused by the fact that Pliny got
all wrought up about this matter of
fire-fighting back in 106 A. D., writes
Joseph T. Armstrong tn the New Orleans Item-Tribune. In a letter to the
Roman emperor Trajan, Pliny deweribed a fire at Nicomedia, which
-consumed several homes, the town
house and the temple of Isis.
Pliny indignantly blamed this damage in part to “the indolence of the
people, who manifestly stood idle and

“I don’t believe my husband loves

“Why on earth should you say
that?”
“Well, he says he don’t mind if I

Self-Deception
Perhaps you cynically sigh,
“In vain to get the truth I try!”
Yet most of what is told to you
Is what you like to listen to.

The Solution
The schoolmaster was explaining to

then in halves again, what shall I

“Chips, sir,” was the unexpected
