NORWEGIANS LIVE LONGEST. In Norway the average length of life is greater than in any other country on the Globe. Tubbing is not so modern a custom after all. Even eccentric baths, suoh as those of milk and of flowers, are not a novelty. Isabeau of Bavaria used to have great decoctions of chick- weed brewed daily, and in them she r i iers • of i ll 11 her Cal Diana would. take took her morning plunge 111 a tub of rainwater.

'Or they b lieved in preparations of almonds and melon juice, the milk of green barley, veal bouillon, and water tliatillvd from the honey extracted from roses. Marie Antoinette WAS addicted to tubbing, and 0110 always liked to have her bath flavored with wild thyme, laurel leaves, marjoram and a little sea salt, On the, other hand, there was the Princess Eukmuhl, who al the age of 85 was renowned for her beautiful eyes, her exquisite com- plexion and her abundant hair, and who never used anything but pure Nea- ler on ber face.

Here she was in- formed that her passport did nor per- mit her to leave the country and that elle would be obliged to make herself comfortable while the pollee found out all she had done white in the country. At first she was rather pleased atthe thought of how she would tell her friends about it when she got home. But when she found that: she had 10 pay not only for her room, her meals, service, and all that sort of thing, but also for long telegrams whicb the authorities were exchanging in regard to her case, her pleasure aw'indled •ts rapidly as her funds curl.

Not content. with heaping contusion oh the wheelwomen, Lord Salisbury de- clared that "every change which is made in woman's dress is a step in the direction of ugliness." In fact, the Premier seems to have been deeply concerned lately in several matters feminine. There was a bill up in the House of Lords not long ago requiring that seats be provided for salesgirls in the shops. The hill had passed the House of Commons, but Lord Salisbury made it the subject of a violent at- tack, in the course of w.ttic:h he became facetious, Ile did not think the houses of Parliament were concerned with such matters, and he said that the Government might as well enact a law providing chairs for housemaids and cooks.
