How GIrIs arc wade Pretty.


The Hindoo girls are graceful and
exquisitely formed. From their ear
liest 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. This
exercise is said to strengthen the mus
eles of the back, while the chest IS
thrown forward. No crooked backs
in Hindostan. DR.. Henry SprY, one
of the eompany's medical officers,
says that ssthis exercise of carrying
small vessels of water on the head
might be adyaptageously introduced
into our hoarding-seho and private
families, and that it might entirely
supersede the present machinery Of
dumb bells, back-boards, skipping
ropes, etc The young lady ought
to, be taught to carry the jar, as
these little Hindoo women do, with
out ever touching with her hand.
The same practice Of carrying water
leads to precisely the same result in
the south OF Spain and In the south
of Italy as in India. A Nepolitan
female peasant viii carry ON her
head vessel full Of water to the
very brin, over a rough road, and
not spill drop of it, the acquisi-
ton of this art or knack gives her
the same erect and elastic gait and
the same expanded chest and well
formed back and shoulders,

The Centennial Safe-An Interesting
MementO for Future Generations

The Centennial Safe-An Interesting
Memento for Future Generations,
A large iron safe; known as the
ssCentennial safe" is now upon
exhibition at Memorial Hall. 1t
will be locked up on the Slst of De-
cember, of the present year, and re-
main unopened for century, and is
destined to preserve for the celebra-
tors of the second Centennial, souY-
enirs of this, the first. Among these
are albums Of the photographs and
autographs of the leading Centen-
NAL officers, Governors of States,
and other prominent men; autograph
books called the United States Cen
tennial Album, a silver inkstand
lined with gold, and two pens used
in recording the names in the books.
One of the pens was presented by
Henry w. LongfellOW. One album
is larger than the Others, and who
ever records his name therein is en-
titled to the space below his name,
so that when they are opened in 1875,
the direct ineal descendant of the
signer can record his name below
that of his ancestor. There is also
in the safe an album to receive the
autographs of foreign ministers and
visitors, a Presidential album, to
contain the photographs of all the
Presidents of the United States from
1876 to 1875; an album to contain
the Judges of the Supreme Court,
Cabinet officers, President of the
Senate, or President pro ten. and
Speaker of the House; also every 12
years the six oldest Senators and six
oldest Representatives in the service.
These albums will be deposited in a
glass case and opened when necessa-
ry. The safe will also contain ten
months publication of the monthly
United States Centennial Welcome,
published and edited by Mrs. Chas.
+. Derhen, of New York, to whom
is due the credit of the enterprise.
When the memorial articles are TO
be deposited in the safe, President
Grant is expected to place away the
large album. General HaYley will
place away one; Vice President
Orestes Cleveland, originator of the
Centennial Exhibition, will deposit
one; Alfred T. Goshorn will place
another; John Sartain, Superintend-
ent of the Fine Art Department,
will place another one, and Vice
President Ferry the other. Hon.
James Gopsill will deposit the silver
inkstands. Chief Justice Waite
will be invited to place away one of
the gold pens and General Cameron
the other. Mr.. Peter Cooper, whose
name is on the safe, and to whose
generosity they are indebted for it,
will then close one door and Hon.
W. q, Bryant the other, and the
lock will be turned by Mr.. Sherman,
of the National Exchange Bank, of
New York. When the safe is closed
it will be conveyed to Washington
and placed under the rotunda of the
Capitol The iron doors will be left
open, go that the Centennial relics
can always be seen.

NEW LEmR.

A CHAPTER on ToADs.
In the spring of 1858, we had in our EN-
plOy celebrated English gardener, who
took charge of our kitchen and flower gar
den. In early spring monster toad put
in his appearance, which the gardener at
once pronounced an English garden toad,
and spoke highly Of their great value as a
destroyer Of insects so destructive to young
plants. The toad seemed quite docile and
made himself perfectly at home, the gar
dener giving him the name Of Boliver. He
proved to be an expert in the destruction
of insects. The most of his labor was per
formed after night, as he would crawl un-
der some leaf, where he would remain qui-
ct through the day, or until about sun
down, when he would start out in search
of his prey. His toadship attracted the
general attention Of visitors who came to
see the garden, and in the fall he was
placed on exhibition at our County Agri-
cultural Far, at Jefferson, where he re-
eeiFed a large amount Of attention from
til. spectators. BoIiver was also largely
commented upon, not only by the press Of
our own county, but by agricultural jour
mails generally, and the great usefulness Of
the toad was fully discussed and admitted.
Boli3er remained with US for several years;
he would disappear early in the fan, but
was sure to be at his post IN early spring.
We left our farm and vent to live at the
Centre, q distance Of three and one-half
miles, and while making garden in the
spring, old Boliver, or toad Of his very
likeness, made his appearance and remain
ed with us until we again moved the dis
tazce Of half mile, and by the time we
got our garden made, or perhaps before we
had it completed, old Boliver, or one of his
appearance, was again on hand and re-
mained with US five years more-the same
good, old and faithful servant. This spring
we took up our residence four and one-half
miles from our last place Of residence. Near
our house We have a small picketed garden
which we early made into beds, and whilst
wedding them a few mornings since, old
Boliver, or some other toad Of his exact ap-
pearanee. hoped out almost under our
nose, ana looking rs in the face with his
shining eye, he seemed to say, s'Good
morning, Uncle Tim" Since that he has
remained steadily at his post, and is as
busy as ever catching insects. Now what
we want you to tell Us is, whether this is
the Yeritable old B6hFer of 1858, or is it
not2 We will further say, that in each
instance of the appearance Of this toad, a
strict inquiry has been instituted at his
several old quarters; and in each case they
were found to be deserted by him. Nor
would we eonfne our inquiry to editors
alone, but would like the opinion Of any
other persons on the subject, We are
ready to give our own opinion unasked,
and that is, in view of all the facts in the
case, we are constrained to believe that his
toadship is the veritable old Boliver Of
1858. And weIwould further say that we
would take pleasure in giving any of our
friends who may call on US an introduction
to the old gentleman. B. F. P.sb

The manufaeture I

The manutaeture OF meerSchaum
pipes began in Vienna some time dur
the latter part of the last century.
1t was carried on for many years in
a small way. but it was not until
| 1852 that the first regular factory
was started. There are now 1875 faeto-
ries in the city, employing over 2, GOO
people. Women and children are
employed for the easier kinds of
work, such as boiling and polishing.
These and the cheaper class Of work
men receive S. a week. The skilled
carvefs are paid 500 mouth, while
as high 500 is paid for single piece
Of very elaborate work. OF course,
many days, and even weeks, are re-
quired to finish these finer kinds.
Americans, more than any other
nationality, are interested in know
ing how sham meorschaums are
made and got on the market. Since
there is q far heavier proportion of
these goods sent here than to any
country in Europe. The method of
manufacture is easily told: When
the artisan earves out of the origi-
nal lump of .meersehaum the figure
or group which adds so greatly to
the beauty and cost of the. pipe.
there is necessarily a great amount
of waste,-clippings, shavings and
dust. These are carefully preserv-
ed and collected. They are of no
use to the manufacturer, who is
obliged TO maintain the character of
his goods. But there is a class of
menin Vienna who bny these frag-
ments, and make them over into an
inferior grade of pipes. The pro-
cess is simple: The mess is boiled
with kind of cement, then harden
ened, and again m' lded or carved
into plain shapes. There is large
profit in this sub.manufacture. The
shayings are purchased at the manu-
factories for about $40 a hundred
pounds. The meerschaums sell for
81 and upwards.
\ There is one more branch of this
interesting subject. 1t is in regard
to amber, This substance is found
at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. So
far, it has never been discovered in
any other part of the earth. Amber
fishing is something like oyster fish
ing, only the amber is procured by
kind of dredge, When found it is
the shape of pebbles, varying in size
from one to six inches in diameter.
The outside is rough and pninviting.
The smaller pebbles cannot be used
for pipe stems, and are turned into
