The merits of smoking had indeed been recognised vary much earlier, as the collections In the museum show, but the weed was not yet tobacco. "Fumigation," said an army surgeon of Nero, "is good for an old cough"-and proceeded to give elaborate ......întructions, for the smoking of "colt's-foot. Other physicians were more particular, and insisted that the herb should be gathered beneath a full moon and dried on a Thursday.
It was natural, therefore, that pipes and containers should receive the full reverence that craftsmen could lavish upon them. D
Some of the aneaf work was car ried out by the Indian pipe-makers for early America. "He who makes tobacco pipes, wrote Bernardino de Of a branch of the Simian family Sangun in 1578, "at first cuts the Second cousin to the Pigithegap reeds, cleans them of their leaves, Bat I must not forget, far be it and polishes them carefully.

As to who the Gipales are, Bow- ever, that question is not very easy to answer, though it is a very in- teresting one. They are a mysteri ous wandering race to be met witli In most of the European countries, as well as in parts of Asia and Africa. It has come to be believed that their travels in the first place began in India. Some Bay that they are all descended from a büfd of travelling robbers who started from the mouth of the Indus many contries ago, and again it is sug- geated that they are the descend- ants of a poor and obscure tribe of natives who were called into Fer- sia about 420 A.D., to act as musi- clans to the poor."
