Soap in its modern form seems rather to be an evelution of economy and commercial convenience than an evidence of a great accession to cleanliness.

Milk was highly prized as a bath- ing fluid by the aucients. The wom- en of Nero's household performed their ablutions in asses’ milk, and this valued promoter of beautiful eom- plexions was always used by the love- ly Empress Popaea. Nowadays milk is too expeasive to waste in the bath- tub, and modern beauties content themselves with a teacupful In a basin wherein their faces may be laved. Word’s Meaning Modernized. Literally the word ‘“rajah” means “king”; and “maharajab,” the “great king,” or ruler over several kings but, generally speaking, the titles “ra- jah,” “maharajah” and “nawab” bave no greater significance than the words “feudal lords,” as used in medieval times in Europe. Many of them have been made by the will of the reigning chief; many bestowed for meritious acts and deeds. Good to Remember.
