sensitive to fault-fnding. He has de-

suffering pig, answers; But we have

other thing that nearly touches the
traveller in Macedonia is the extor-

The Macedonian, also. has a custom

prejudice against water for any other
use than as q beverage. 1t is said that
the people of Macedonia bathe as Of

or twice in lifetime. Bathing is
thought by many of the superstitious
mountaineers to be dangerous to

work long hours weaving and en-
