SPRINGTIME DISHES.


This IL the Season 70 Begin 20 Eat what
Nature Sends In From the Garden.
There used TO be a theory that the pres-
ence Of fresh BpTing vegetables In the
market had its infiusnce In making the first
Of May the domestic festival that II was for
many years. The sight Of green peas
and asparagus, not 70 mention new potatoes
and the other delicacies that come at this
period, move the mind to the contemplation
Of the pleasures Of ones own table and
ones own kitchen.
There are more than merely sentimental
reasons for this feeling. The cost OF the
spring vegetables seems 80 little In the
market and 90 much in the restaurants.
And nature demands that We should eat
at this period Of the year the kind Of food
that she prepares for 10. How much
better some New Workers OF foreign ma
tionality understand this than some other
persons it Ia easy to realize by walking
through some Of the streets Of the Italian
colony.
Here the green things Of nature abound.
There are salads Of every kind, and there
are oabbages different kinds Of spinach
and some vegetables 50 elementary that 1t
seems possible to class them only as grass
or weeds They are at this period the staple
food Of these foreigners.
They are, Of course, cheap; but they are
also suited to the summer season. Even
IL they could afford meat, It Is extremely
improbable that these TIA 'ians would eat 1t
to the extent that American workmen do.
The seasonableness of meat IL just as
important 10 be considered now. Nature
never intended that heavy meats should be
eaten now just a. they were during the
winter months.
This Is the time Of the year for lighter
and milder kinds Of flesh. New lamb, veal
chicken and fab should take the place Of
such heavy meats as beef and mutton. AL
these things At into natures scheme, and
man IL the better for following It,
II one lives at home, II Is easier and
cheaper TO eat in this orderly fashion. But
n NAV be accomplished In restaurants, even
n some Of these delicious things that are
told about here are not always to be had In
| them.
Although spring vegetables are some
! times thought beat IN their own FRESH
meas and purity there are certain little
| details OF treatment that make them still
| better and do not interfere with their
! freshness- In the case Of asparagus, which
| is Just now especially abundant and cheaper
| than II ever was before at this time, there
| "a an addition to the dish that the most
Confirmed advocate Of plain eating would
| not sooTn.
After the asparagus Ia Q been put on the
plate and a little drpwn butter has been
! poured over II sprinkle cTumhs OF toast
| over the ends Of the asparagus. This toast
is best made by buying zwieback without
! sugar. This is made in only one bakery
! In town hut Ia excellent.
The zwisback should be heated and but
ter should be put on each piece Of the toast.
| The most delicious RsparaGns that ever
was cooked will be better for this addition.
| With cold asparagus served ns salad
| there Is one other addition that 10 equally
| appetizing without destroying the original
| flavor. Cut into very 6ne pieces green

why have rats In Baltimore turned from
the familiar gray 10 seal brown"
This Is the question which IL perpleHinG
a rat catcher who has been In the business
for many years. He says:
i have been catching rats for more than
twenty years 10 Baltimore. After the big IRE
observed that some few caught In different
parts Of the city were Of a seal brown color
The seal brown rat was a rarity before the
FIRE. but now they outnumber the. old. f9mil,
lar gray ones, In building In which /
was employed lately 90 per cent. OF the rod
Onts caught were brown. These rats are
not in any one locality, but In all parts OF
the city,
much finer and softer than that o! the gray
The big FIRE may have had something 70 do
with the change OF color and texture, but
/ cannot explain why, ] only blame u on
the FIRE because can think Of no other cause.
l told a local furrieT about II, and have
a commission 10 supply him With a number
OF rat skins. with which he will experiment
The fur will need no dyeing. as II II Of very
rich, uniform color The Japanese used

WOMEN MUST KNEEL TO MEN
IL the Law Among Many Tribes Of East
Central Africa.


Central Africa.
Men IN Africa, and especially In East
Central Africa, believe that their women are
their interiors. and many centuries ago
says the Chicago Tribune, they made q
law that has worn itself into a custom that
women must acknowledge this by always
kneeling when they meet q man.
Dun Macdonald, who spent many years
az a missionary in this country, says that
African women hold a most degraded posi-
ton. and are looked upon pretty generally
as beasts Of burden capable Of doing all
the hard work. When a woman meets any
man, be Il her husband or a stranger, at
home or on the road, she IL expected to
'taidlwala'- that Ia, 70 kneel and clap her
hands to the lord Of creation as be passes.
Although a woman may have slaves Of her
own, she observes this custom whenever
she meets them on the highway.
Macdonald adds: Whenever we cav
a woman 20 out OF her way with tho intention
Of lneeling before us, though abe carried
a hundredweight on her head, knowing
that she would have TO get up with Il, we
shouted, You are losing your way, this Is
the path, and she took IL, glad that abe
might dispense with this custom
Certain II L. that II the African woman
kneels before a stranger or slave she pros
trates herself most humbly before her
husband-her lord and master. He is her
father and she Is his child; he commands
and she obeys; he may inhict punishment
and she accepts IL.
The title Of father Is given to all old
people; a man Of 80 will say: Il am only
a child; AJAX the old man.
The woman must submit, Of course. She
IL her husbands chattel; he has bought
her for two skins Of a buck, and this IL a
| fair price for one wife. He often gets them
| In payment for debts.
IL a Rirl is not a frst wife she counts for
! little, as these Africans usually have one
chief wife and three OF four minor wives.
| A man who Is married a few years Is eX-
pected 20 have junior wives, The chief
/ wife has the supeTintendenoe Of the Others
| and looks after the household. The
punishment she inficts for laziness IL TO
| banish the junior wife from her meals until
| hunger brings her TO her senses. II a
! junior wife y obstreperous she IL put In
The authority Of a chief wife Is not q
matter 10 Jest With. II q junior wife gets
| unruly the whipping post is made use Of.
] This does not annoy her lord, for African
/ men have little sentiment for their wives
| and feel none for their junior wives. They
/ are his chattels, having the same value
/ as his cattle-perhaps less. When a man
! IA pressed for money he usually sells his
| wife and not his cattle. He expects them
| 20 cultivate the soil and cut down the tres,
| and when he finds time OF has the inclina-
| ton be helps them.
Mn Macdonald says that she amused
| bersen by taking the loads Of wood cut
down by the women and placing them
| next 20 those Of the man, explaining that
| civilized men try 10 relieve women Of hard
ships, but they shook their heads and
answered that their lords would never
submit 10 this humility,

sweaters.
The young women ran M II intent on
reaching a goal and turned their eyes
neither 20 the right nor to the left Their
whole attention seemed TO be given TO a
leader, who evidently set the pace
There were tall and short girls, lean and
fat girls in the company Of twenty-five or
so. Some were coatless, many were hat
less and most Of them wore on their feet
heelless shoes.
A result Of these runs is that stenog-
raphers, typewriters, saleswomen and
other wage earners living in Brooklyn have
been giving themselves airs Of late for the
reason that Brooklyn has introduced a
novelty to physical culture enthy siasts
