BATHING IN SPAIN
WOMEN USE OILED TOWELS FOR
THAT PURPOSE.
Some Interesting and Peculiar Facts
as to the Feeling Among Span
ish Women Against the
Use of Water.
When I lived In Madrid the mother
of a very dear friend, Senora S.,
gave to me a terrible shock by tell
ing me that sho "never bathed in
water!" "Ah, in milk, then?" I had
exclaimed, wishing to make a record
as a guesser. "No, Indeed," was the
reply. "In champagne, no doubt!" I
bald, wishing to pay a compliment,
because tho family was fabulously
rich. "Wrong again," was tho quiet
reply. "I 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 tho 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
to all women not to wash themselves
with water. When one visits that
quaintest of all European cities, To.
ledo, ho is shown, upon tho banks of
the turgid Tagus, below Wamba.'s pal
ace, built In G71, an alcove In which
La Cava was wont to bathe.
One day Roderick, last of the Goths,
beheld her there, and the result was
quite similar to Hathsheba's experience
with the sainted David. To mo the
story sounded like a warmed-over ver
sion of the Judean escapade; but I
stood in the arched alcove, with tho
water llowing at my feet, and, al
though there is an Arabic inscription
over the Moorish arch that shields the
place from the sun, hut not from the
surrounding palaces, I am bound to
believe.
But I am not dodging 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
II., mnde 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 a tawny color, known, as "Isa
bel" to this hour. Southey relates
that the devout SU Eufraxia entered
Into a convent of ISO nuns, none of
whom had ever washed. To mention
a bath was an abomination, only to
be atoned for by application of tho
scourge.
In the land of Castile castlle soap
is bought and used chiefly by per
fidious English and Americans. The
The Spanish Goths, rabid Christians,
didn't believe In washing their bodies.
Many a good fellow with enough
traces of Arabic blood in his veins to
insist upon a daily bath went to the
flames of tho inquisition. .lulius

CLIMATE IS IDEAL
GREAT WEALTH ACQUIRED
IN
GROWING GRAIN.
Writing from Saskatoon, Saskatche
wan, Canada, W. II. Ellwanger, who
was formerly a resident of Green
Mountain, Iowa, says: "The climnto
in summer is idoal for growing grain.
Long, elenr days of sunshine, no bad
stormr. Wo never need to guard
against cyclones; I never saw a better ,
climate in my life. We made more
money during the season of 1900 than .
any previous five years in central
Iowa one of the best districts in the
Btnte. But Mr. Ellwanger was a resi-
dent of the town, and it might be more J
interesting to rend what a farmer has
to say about Western Canada. From
hundreds of letters all lllled with
woVds of praise, recounting success in
Western Canada there has been one
selected. It is as follows:
Paynton, Sask., Canada,
Dec. 10th, 1907.
To Whom This May Concern:
I moved to this address February 3,
1907, from Montgomery, Iowa, and
took a homestead 35 miles north of
Paynton. It was cold when I moved
here but it did not stay cold long; it
broke up the 8th of February, and was
not so cold after that but the spring
was late on account of the heavy snow
fall, but in spite of tho late spring I
saw better grain than I ever saw in
the states, raised this year. I helped
a man finish sowing oats the lth of
July and they made fair oats. In a
good year oats will go 100 bushels to
the acre and wheat. 2f to &0; all root
crops do well here. I saw turnips weigh
7 nnd S pounds. I raised potatoes this
year that measured 11V inches
one way and lS1 the other in cir-
cumfcrence. This is a fine stock conn-,

plenty of fuel, free and plenty of
building material the government
gives us timber to saw into lumber
., , ... . - - .
and we can get it sawed for about
?0.00 per thousand. All small fruit
grows wild here, then there are ducks,
geese, grouse, pheasants, deer, moose, ,
elk and fish in abundance. T was over
to Turtle Lake yesterday where there
is lots of fishing being done this win- i
ter. I saw about a carload of white
fish in one pile. I gave 25 cents for '
SO pounds of fish. What do you think
of that, Brother Yankee? I think this '
is a fine place both to make money
and to live. There was an old man up
here visiting his brother-in-law. Now ,
this man owns land close to Des
Moines, Iowa, and is in good circum- t
stances, .but Jie.took, a. homestead.. and
says he will be contented if he can
only put in tho rest of his days in
Canada. Ho would get up In the morn
and look out. of the door and say:
"Well, who wouldn't live in Canada?"
