CLEANLINESS IN OLD RUSSIA
Passage in Novel Would Lead One to

The quotation III the Companion
from publication of 1G40 ureing that
"every day one should take pains to
wash ones hands, and one should also
wash ones face almost as Often" re-
minds contributor of passage in
TOlstOy's "War and Peace" The story,
which follows the fortunes of Count
Rostov, pictures the way in which the
ladies of his family prepared in 1909
for ball given "by grandee of Cath
crimes time"
sit was" writes Tolstoy, ''the first
great ball that Natasha had ever at
tended She had got up at eight
O'Clock that morning and had been all
day long in a state of the widest eX-
element and hustle. All her energies
from earliest morning had been ex-
pended in the effort to have herself
Sonya and her mamma dressed to per-
lection. SOnya and the countess
trusted themselves entirely to her
hands. The countess was to wear a
dark red velvet gown; the two girls
white crepe gowns with pink silk over
skirts and roses in their corsages !;
their hair was to be arranged a la
grecque.
"The most important part had al
ready been done; their feet, their
hands, their arms, their necks and
their ears had been washed, perfumed
and powdered with extraordinary care.
On their feet they wore OpenwOrk
silk stockings and white slippers with
bows. Their toilets were almost fin
ished. Sonya was already dressed and
so was the countess"
The reader infers that their feet
were included in the comprehensive
washing only on account of the open
work stockings. And he is inclined
to ask, if the tremendous preparation
for such ball caused only that much
washing, how much \ did they wash
day by day?--Youth's Companion.

ment the Portion Of Thinkers In
the Sixteenth Century.

They had a rough and ready way OF
dealing with spiritualists in the six
teenth century. An act was placed on
the statute book in the reign of
Queen Mary which made it a capital
offense for many persons ito propose
to hold communications with the
dead,' and later the penalty for such
an offense was made burning at the
stake.
In 1920 a man named Edward Bar
Der, who lived at Ongar in Essex, was
ordered by local magistrate to be
put in the stocks for three days, and
subsequently to stand for trial for
pretending that he had received mes
sages from a dead person, and for
telling divers persons that he had done
So"
This luckless spiritualist, however,
was never sent for trial, as on the
last night. of his confinement in the
stocks he was burned to death by
some of the villagers.
In the reign of Queen Anne man
priSOnment for life for writing a PAM
phlet proving that communication with
the dead was possible; and even so
late as the reign of George There are
records of severe punishments being
inflicted on people who protested that
they had received messages from the
dead.
In the reign of James / a Dutch mer-
chant named KOlep, living in London,
was sent to the Tower for alleging
that during a bad illness he had actu-
ally died and that his soul had passed
for two hours in the world beyond,
when it returned to his body.
Kolep was deprived Of his property
and was sentenced to Imprisonment
for life. He escaped from prison, how
ever, and managed to make his way
back to his native country, where he
afterwards published a book giving
the experiences Of his visit to the
world beyond the grave.-Stray
