How to Reduce Ones Weight

urdpniC.
A woman weighing 200 pounds called
on a physician for advice. He gave her
the following instructions:
|. For breakfast eat piece of beef or
mutton as large as Your hand. with a
slice of white bread twice as large. For
dinner the same amount of meat, or, il
preferred. fish or poultay, with the same
amount of farinaceous or vegetable food
in the form of bread or potato. For
supper, nothing.
.. Drink only when greatly annoyed
with thirst; then mouthful of lemonade
without sugar.
3. Take three times a week some form
of bath in which there shall be immense
perspiration. The Turkish bath is best.
You must work, either in walking or
some other way, several hours a day.
T. You must rise early in the morning
and retire late at night. Much sleep fat
tens people.
5. The terrible corset you have on,
which congresses the center of the body
making you look great deal fatter than
you really are, must be taken off, and
you must have corset which any dress
maker can fit to you-a corset for the
lower part of the abdomen-which will
raise this great mass and support it.
She followed the advice tor six months,
and trained herself down to l52 pounds.

THE LIZARD OF THE GILA.
A Reptile which is Looked Upon With
Terror by Arizona Miners.

Terror by Arizona Miners.
SAINT Fe Cor Cleveland Leader.
The lizard family attains great perfec-
ton in the Southwest, climaxing in the
horrible creature called the ella menster
of Arizona. This is a big black lizard,
from foot to four feet in length. He
has a pair of villainous. beal-like, black
eyes in his head, beneath couple OF
horny eyebrows that give his face an
uncommonly ferocious expression.
Around his neck is broad band of
beautiful yellow, and ] am. convinced
that should a recently imported Irish
men run afoul of one of these vermin he
would consider himielf in the presence
of the devil himself, wearing the colors
of the Prince of Orange.
The Arizona prospecters tell OF the Wild
est tales about the poisonous qualities of
the Gila monsters, some even claiming
that the reptile kills its prey by breath
ing on it. It's poison is contained in
minute cells at the base of a number of
saw-like teeth. Though naturally
sluggish brute, it at times exhibits the
most frightful quickness, darting like a
flash upon its prey, and seizing the
game between its jaws, which it shuts
and keeps closed with the strength and
tenacity of snapping-turtle,
Meanwhile the poison slowly exudes
and penetrates the wounds made by the
teeth, and if the victim be an animal OF
lesser degree than man faintness and
death will speedily ensue. The poison
differs from that of every known venom
