The most ft* accepted explanation of this -, ot is the slight Inequality to ' of a man's legs.

VaORAEtil SALADS. n Yegctablo salads are among the moBt c icceptable dishes that can be propared a for a spring or summer repast; they n tempt the appetite and impart a tlavoi y lo tho rest of tho meal. Whilo the art ' of making and serving them is very simple, care should bo taken in their preparation. Tho dressing for a variety of voge- 1 tablo salads is tho same, yet different fluvors may be delicately added, always being careful that ono docs not predominate over another. It is very important to have only tho best ingredients, as wilted vegetables or inferior seasoning will not make good salads. Tho quantity of oil to bo used is rather difficult to deoide, but two tablcspoonfuls to ono of vinegar is the usual proportion for plain dressings, whilo nioro is requirod for mayonnaise. Lettuce salad should be dressed only with oil, vinegar, pepper and salt. Salads are rendered much more at- j tructivo when prettily garnished with ; n,lg? % 4 ? Tho dressing should nevor be added to the prepared vegetable until ready to servo, when tho salad should bo stirred as little as possible in ordor to retain its freshness. Tho vegetables best suited for salads aro lettuce, asparagus, dandelion, celery, cauliflower, water-cress, beets, string beans, cabbage, potatoes, cucumbers and tolnatoes.?Harper's Bazar. nOTTSEHOLJ) IITNT3.
