awhile. Then raise the arms gradually
to the first position and repeat the
movement twenty-five to fifty times.

Cucumber lovers will find a way t.

lowing this German recipe TO preserve
them: Take rs many medium-sized Gu
cumbers as you wish and pare and slice
them as If for salad and then salt them
well and after leaving them in the sal,
a few hours the salt and liquid are
squeezed out OF them with clean
white cloth. Then take q quantity OF
fnely-cut onions and peppercorn and
mix them well into the cucumber. Put
the whole into large stone Jar and
pour over IL the best white wine vim.
egar. and on top two inches Of good
salad oil: corer the top of the jar with
bladder. During the whole winter
the cucumber remains fresh and good.
When necessary add little more vim.
egar. and always leave two inches OF
oil at the top. Cucumber salad made
from the vegetable thus prepared If
said to be almost equal to its use in
the fresh state.

The writer possesses mysterious
bottle of transparent glass, stopped

large nail runs crosswise through the

can this nail have come there? Obvi-
cnsly not before corking the bottle,
since the length of the nail greatly ex-
ceeds the diameter of the neck OF the
bottle. Could 1t have been introduced

seems equally impossible.

in this action by those on the front OF

slanting forward when the heel is
raised by the calf muscles. the whole
body will be raised and pushed for

of each leg is effected partly by muscu-

the bones of each leg. as it supports the
