OUR CORNER
SHEDDING ITS SKIN.

HE other day in one of the ZOOS a
crowd had collected in front of a
certain cage in the house de-
voted to reptiles, or snakes, as we best
know them. An attendant called the
attention to a beautifully marked cobra
who was In the act of shedding its
skin. Until now it was thought that
the snake simply cast off the old skin
and donned the new one. very much as
boys and girls do their soiled clothing.
The cobra. however, had a much more
serious proposition to cope with. His
head and neck protruded from the gray
leathery-looking skin which he had evil
IDENTIFY Just outgrown. He wriggled and
writhed, with great effort drawing his
body from the covering. The new skin
was a orgeous black and orang one of
indescribable beauty and fineness. The
old skin was gray n like a wash
board In its ~roughnes as it lay revealed
after 1t was discarded. 1t uncoiled IT
self as the cobra writhed out of it, lay
ing as a ribbon might. behind. The
cobra struggled and worked, an inch at
a time of new skin being the result.
Other cobras lay in the cage-one in a
garb of an unshed snake, two others in
their black and orange covering. As
the shedding cobra struggled. one of the
others. as il seeing the need for help.
crawled to it and lay its body on the
old skin, holding ii frmer. that the
cobra might better succeed In what he
was attempting. Still another friend
in need came to his escue and, thanks
to the effort Of these. who lay firmly en-
the resisting old skin. the cobra was
every few minutes showing more and
more of his black and orange. There
was q. stone structure in the cage look
ing like a bit of o-rnamentation. The
cobra crawled toward that. and. draw
ing its resisting old skin to it, rubbed
itself upon the roughness of the stone,
Aided by this inc the weight of the
other W cobras. the old skin was fin
ally shed and the cobra was a thing of
beauty in it's new attire. The process
took at least half an hour. N was
accomplished only after a. great deal of
effort.

The vsIuc of Deer Breathing.

the teluc OF Deer breathing.
1t may seem a remarkable thing that
we have been breathing day and night
since we came Into the world and that
very few of us really know how to
breathe properly. Perhaps that Is a
pretty broad assertion, but 1t is never
theless true. It Is safe to say without
the least fear of contrad tction that
there are very few of us who make
a daily practise of deep breething.
Perhaps if we knew more of the
value of deep breathing we would give
more time to Its practise, for It has
been said on good authority that nine
tenths of our colds can be cured in
their first stages by deep breathing.
We all know the value of a brisk
walk when taken for exercise solely.
If we will. the deep breathing may be-
come a natural accompaniment to Jul
walking exercises.
There is a little system, which, If fol-
lowed, will soon develop into a habit.
When you start out to walk take one
inhalation through the nose while you
lake four steps. taking care to expel
the air through the mouth on the next
four steps. If you continue this prac-
tise for a few days you will soon find
that you will be able to take from five
to seven steps to a breath. When you
have reached that place where you can
take eight steps at your usual walking
gait while initiating your lungs only
once, and when you can exhale during
the next eight steps, and continue the
practise for ten minutes, you will
acquire a chest expansion that will rout
any attack Of lung trouble that may

Dear Madame AHA:
1 am a constant reader Of THE EVE
MING STAR, and I would ike to ask
you for n recipe for some good nall
bleach. Thanking you in advance.
ANXIOUS.
The simplest and best bleach for the
finger nails is lemon Juice. either full
strength or diluted with water. Most
of the blcaches offered for sale are
composed of strong acids that will in
time thicken the nails and render them
opaque instead of transparent. Peroxide
of hydrogen diluted with water may be
used occasionally when the stains will
not respond to the use of the lemon
juice, which Is very seldom. Dip an
orange-wood stick In the liquid and
remove stains underneath the nails
with it. For stains or discolorations on
top of the nails use h inside OF the
lemon. A cut lemon should have a
place on the washstand Of every wom-
al who are anything about the ap-
pearance of her hands.
