a thorough hot bath ult parts of the.
body nrc rubbed. Tlio soles of the feet
nro rubbed with pumice stone, then the
body Is nnolnted with oil and sprinkled

This was done because of rellglou
prejudice ngnlnst tlio Moors.

It is a strange fnct that eea fowls'
eggs are almost conical lu form, so thnt

high rocks this provision ot naturo pre
vents them from rolling off.
