OHIO IN THE FRONT.

1t is a noteworthy fact that the
chosen standard bearer Of the Re
publican party in this Centennial
campaign is an Ohioan. Ohio has
already gained an enviable pre-emi-
nence, as the nursery Of heroes and
statesmen, and this new honor only
adds one more to an already long list
Of such distinctions that has been
accorded her Of late II begins to
look as though the mantle Of Vir-
ginia, which some years ago was
called 'the mother of Presidents, F"
had descended upon her western
neighbor.
In addition to her illustrious re-
cord in the war, to which she sent
over two hundred regiments, the
Buckeye State can claim as her sons,
either by birth or adoption, the two
last successive Chief Justices of the
United States, the President for two
successive terms, and the General of
the army, besides Lieutenant Gen
eral Sheridan and a multitude of
generals and public mon of less note.
Lastly she has the Republican nomi-
nee for President. Yet this cannot
he called an unmerited honor, for
Ohio has never nominally had the
Presidency nor a presidential candi-
date (as Grant registers from ILL.,
nosi,) since the one month incum-
bent, William Henry Harrison, "Old
Tippecanoe," who carried the Hard
Cider" campaign of 1910.
There is policy in the nomination
on sectional siou"is, Ger Ohio leada
off in the Fall elections, when she
will doubtless strike the keynote Of
inc campaign.
There is a historical significance in
the fact of this political prominence
of Ohio, as indicating that the cen.
trail axis of power has already shift
ed thus far west; proof Of the mar
vclous westward advance of the ma
ton, since, at the beginning of the
century, seventy six years ago, Ohio
was, i'll many respects, more of n
wilderness and terra incogaita than
Washington Territory is now Gin
cinnati herself, the once Queen City
Of the West" was then mainly a
collection of log shanties.
The record of Ohio is one Of which
any State may well be proud. Not
the "Old Dominion. with her roll Of
great names and achievements, not
Pennsylvania, the key stone State, ="
with her Centennial prestige aud
pomp, nor the Empire State of New

How Girls are Made Pretty.

The Hlndoo girls ore gracefully and
exqnisitely formed. From their earliest
childhood they are accustomed to carry
burdens on their heads. The water for
family use is always brought by the girls
in earthen jars, carefully poised in this
way. The exercise Is said to strengthen
the muscles of the back. while the chest
is thrown forward. No crooked backs
are seen in Hindostan. DR.. Henry Spry.
one OF the company's medical officers.
says that "this exercise Of carrying small
vessels Of water on the head might be
advantageously introduced into our
neutrality-suspicious. and private families.
and that it might entirely supersede the
present machinery of dumb bells. back.
boards, skipping ropes. &c. The Young
lady ought to be taught to carry the Jar,
as these Hindoo women do, without ever
touching it with their hands" The same
practice of carrying water leads to pre-.
cisely the same results in the south of
Spain and in the south OF Italy as i'm In.
dia. A Neapolitan female peasant will
carry on her head vessel full OF water
to the very brim over a rough road and
not spill n drop Of it, and the acquisition
OF this art or knack gives her the same
erect and elastic gait, and the same ex.
banded chest and we'll formed back and
shoulders.

Pocket Money for Children.

There is no error more fatal than i'm {.
agining that pinching youth in his
pocket money will teach him frugality.
On tho contrary, it will occasion his run.
ning into extravaganza with so much
more eagerness when he comes to have
money in his own hands, as pinching
him in his diet will make his appetite
only the more rapacious. If you put
into the hands Of your child more money
than is suitable to his age and discre
ton, You must expect to find that he has
thrown it away upon what is not only
idle but hurtful. A certain small. reru.
ular income, any child above six years
OF age ought to have. When he comes
to be capable OF keeping an account he
ought to be obliged to do it. He will
thereby acquire habit Of frugality, at.
tention and prudence that will be Of ser.

the contrary, to give Young person mo.
ney TO spend at will. without recurring
any account Of it, is leading. or rather
forcing, him upon extravaganza & folly.
