With the advent Of spring vegetables
comes hope for women who wish to re-
duee their flesh. Incidentally the new
diet should affect the complexion fla
vOrably, clearing skin that has grown
thick and muddy through the winter.
When the object is TO lose flesh a:
woman must be willing to abstain from
foods containing more than the small
est amount Of sugar; she must eat
nothing which contains starch or
meats with fat.
Under the first class are desserts,
pastries, candles and fruits cooked
with sugar. Oranges and grapefruit
may be eaten freely, even substituting
the juice for food at noon, and a light
luncheon may consist of the juice of
two oranges or of one grapefruit with
out sugar Starchy food means pota-
toes, rice. bread (not toast, macaroni,
anything containing -four or starch
The only fishes to be avoided are
mackerel, blue, sword aud salmon as
well as eels, which contain large
percentage Of oil. Gravles and thick
soups must not be eaten
These dishes should be replaced with
fresh green vegetables. Beet tops,
which are In the market now, are
easily assimilated and contain chem
ical properties which act beneficially
upon the blood and system. Spinach
has been In the market all winter, but
it comes under the head Of green veg
etables and might be eaten every day
with benefit to the dietitian. Lettuce,
with hot vinegar dressing poured
over 1t, is an excellent vegetable for
the blood while any Of the green sal
ads, lettuce. endiFe, romaine and
chickory, might be eaten three times a
day with French dressing. Cucum-
bers and tomatoes are decreasing ia
price now, and new beets are sue
culent and digestible.

African Snakes.

The African cobra is regarded some
what reverently by the natives Of that
country, who once year kill a cobra
de capello and hang its skin to the
branch of a tree, tail downward. Then
all the children born during the last
year are brought out and made to
touch the skin. This, the parents think,
puts them under the serpent's protec-
tion. The cobra de capeilo divides with
the horned viper of Africa the ques-
tionable honor of being the worm Of
the Nile,' to whose yenomous tooth
Cleopatra's death was due. The Kaf-
frs use tie venom OF this snakes
cousin, theSpuH adder. to poison their
arrows. and when they have any small
quantity left they swallow it, having a
theory that it will protect them from
the bad effects of future bites. The
Snake tribe'o Of the Punjab say that the
bites of snakes do not hurt them, and
#if they find dead serpent they dress
1t in clothes and give 1T superb fu-
neral.
