5hseIs Capable of Stealing Sheet from

The sailor, in response TO gruff
command, replaced rather sheepishly
a box OF cubeb cigarettes that he had
clumsily abstracted from the drug
gist's showcase.

"Yes, many's the trick Ram Dass

Then he tickled Ivor on the left
side with a feather. He tickled and
tickled till the young feller rolled to
the right, passed clean over the sheet
and began to snore again.
After that, of course, the trick was
easy. Ram Dass gathered up the

Most Suicides In Wanna.

Among all the European capitals
Vienna has long enjoyed an unenvia-

suicides.
Unfortunately, the figures for last
year tend to enhance this reputation.

and 1O8 women committed suicide, az

sides this. there were no fewer than
7S9 attempts at suicide, AL by mon
and 198 by women.
The preponderance of men over
women appears somewhat striking
three to one-but taking the cases Of
actual suicides and attempts together,
this proportion is reduced to less than
two to one. Illness and mental disor-
ders were responsible for more than
fourth OF the total suicides; unhappy
love Affairs accounted for 25, poverty

BATHING In SPAIN
WOMEN USE OILED TOWELS FOR
THAT PURPOSE.
Some interesting and Peculiar Facts
ss to the Feeling Among Span
ish Women Against the
Use Of Water.

When lived in Madrid the mother
of very dear friend, Sonora s.,
gave to me terrible shock by tell.
ing me that she never bathed in
water!" "Ah, in milk, then?" l had
exclaimed, wishing to make a record
as a guesser mo, indeed" was the
reply In champagne, no Doubt"
said, wishing to pay a compliment,
because the family was fabulously
rich. Wrong again" was the quiet
reply. 81 use an oiled towel, and
my maid rubs me down with a crash
hand cloth"
In Spain the dangers Of bathing are
constantly set forth by some monks.
Originally the fair sex was warned by
monks, who practiced the doctrine
themselves, although the reasons
therefor were not logical, that they
should remember the sad cases Of
Susanna Bathsheba and Count Julian's
beautiful daughter, La Caya, all of
whom owed the wreck Of their lives
to too much bathing! To this hour
La Cava Is mentioned as a warning

with water. When one visits that
quaintest of all European cities, To.
ledo, he is shown, upon the banks of
the turgid Tagus, below Wanda 8 pal
ace, built In GA, an alcove in which
La Cava was wont to bathe.
One day Roderick, last of the Goths.
beheld her there, and the result was
luite similar to Bathsheba's experience
with the sainted David To me the
story sounded like warmed-over YER
sion of the Judean escapads; but
stood in the arched alcove, with the
water flowing at my feet. and, al
though there is an Arabic inscription
over the Moorish arch that shields the
place from the sun, but not from the
surrounding palaces. | am bound TO
believe.
But | am not lodging the bathing
question. The aqueous anathemas in
Spain extended not only to public but
to private washings. Many instances
OF these injunctions are historic For
example, Isabella, daughter OF Philip
H.. made a solemn vow never to
change her undergarments until Os.
tetnd was taken and as the siege en-
dured three years three months and
thirteen days the royal" garments ac.
quired tawny color, known as lisa.
bel" to this hour Southey relates
that the devout st. Eufraxia entered
into a convent OF 130 nuns, none of
whom had ever washed. To mention
bath was an abomination only To
be atoned for by application of the
scourge.
In the land of CASTLE CASTLE soap
is bought and used chiefly by per.
fidious English and Americans. The
