In Europe the only peasantry that know
OF who take bath every week are the Nor
wegians. The custom there Is a very old
one, and 1t is attributed thereto that the
Norsemen call Saturday ''Loriag. /" or wash
ing day. They differ from the Japanese In
that after washing they all put on clean
linen and their best clothes for Sunday. In
Germany personal cleanliness IL restricted
to the upper classes, and baths are looked
upon as even still greater luxury than In
France, being confined entirely to the houses
Of the very rich.-Cor. New York Tribune.
