Servants In India.

Indian housekeeping is at once very
simple and paradoxically complex. The
fact that all servants are on board
wages, from the moonshee, who takes a
temporary engagement as secretary or
tutor, down To the humblest punkah-
wallah or grass-cutter, renders il COM
paratively easy for a master To know
his expenses. But then there is some
thing bewildering in the subdivision of
labor, in having to harbor tailors and
cObblers, washermen and watchmen,
and florists and sweepers. Ii is per-
picking TO find that every servant so
well knows his or her place that a
palki-bearer would scorn to fetch a
pitcher of water; that hereditary pOul-
try-keepers attend the hens; hereditary
grooms the horses; and that not meal
can be cooked, or a carpet spread except
by the agency OF somebody whose caste
TO perform the duty. An English resi-
dent, also, is apt to be puzzled by that
habit of the native dOmestics, strange To
our notions, of collecting around them
Il clan of relatives, old and young, more
or less dependent for sustenance on the
monthly wages of the bread-winner.
These followers" like others of their
plastic race, are by no means obtrusive,
and are content to be tucked away in
sheds and huts, or to lie about the pas
sages of some rambling villa, while 4
pipkin of grain and spoonful of ghee
comprise, with a little cotton cloth,
their few wants. Bur many a BritOn
unused to the country, vet drawing
high pay, must marvel at the number
of mouths that he indirectly has TO fill,
and must feel at times uncOmfortably
uncertain as TO whether he has not
made a gigantic mistake in suppOsing
that the monthly payment of few
pounds sterling expunges his liabilities
toward his servants. and as 10 the pros

Hardening the constitution.

Men talk about Gardening the con
stitution," and with that view expose
themselves To summers sun and winter
wind, TO strain, and over-efforts, and
many unnecessary hardships. To the
same end ill informed mothers souse
their little infants in cold water day by
day; their skin and flesh and bodies are
steadily growing rougher, and thinner,
and weaker, until slow fever, or water
on the brain, or consumption carries
them to the grave, and then they ad-
minister to themselves the semi-com-
fort and rather questionable consolation
of its being mysterious dispensation of
nature, when, in fact, nature works no
miracle TO counteract or follies. The
best way we know of hardening the
constitution is to take good care of it,
for il is no II ore improved by harsh
treatment than fine garment or new
hat is made better by being banged
about.

This is an epoch of elevators. We do
not climb to our rooms i'm the hotel; we
ride. We do not reach the upper stories
of Stewards by slow and patient steps:
we are lifted there. The Simplon is
crossed by railroad, and steam has
usurped the place OF the Alpen-stock on
the Rhigi. The climb which used to
give us health on Mount Holyoke, and a
beautiful prospect, with the reward of
rest, is now purchased for 20 cents of n
stationary engine. q
If our efforts to get our bodies into
the air by machinery were not compile
mented by our efforts to get our lives up
in the same way, we might not find
much fault with them; but i'm truth, the
tendency everywhere is to get up in the
world without climbing. Yearnings
after the infinite are in the fashion. As
pirations for eminence-even ambition
for usefulness-are altogether in advance
of the willingness for the necessary pre-
liminary discipline and work. The
amount of vaporing among young men
and young women, who desire TO do some
thing which somebody else is doing
something far in advance of their pre-
sent powers-is fearful and most Ia
mentable. They are not willing to climb
the stairway; they must go up in an
elevator. They are unable or unwilling
to recognize the fact that, in order TO do
that very beautiful thing which some
other man is doing, they must go slowly
through the discipline, through the ma
turing process of time, through the pa
tient work which have made him what
he ia and fitfad him for his sf,here af

HoT Marbles are Made. The chief

tribute so largely to the enjoyment of

Germany, where there are large a gate

is turned to good paying account by
being made into small balls, employed
by experts to knuckle with, and are
mostly sent to the American market.
The substance used in SaxOny IL hard
caleareous stone, which is first broken
into blocks, nearly square, by blows
with hammer. These are thrown by
the hundred or two into a small sort of
mill which is formed of fiat, t,ststi0nary
slab of stone, with number OF eceen-
tric furrows upon its face. A block OF
oak. or other hard wood, of the diane
trie size is placed over the stones and
partly resting upon them. The small
block of wood is kept revolving while
water flows upon the stone slab. In
about fifteen minutes the stones are
turned into spheres, aud then, being
fit for sale, are heneefOrth called mar
bles. One establishment, with but
three mills turns out sixty thousand
marbles ch week.
