The Hindoo girls are graceful
and exquisitely formed. From
their earliest childhood they are ac-
custOmeG to carry burdens on their
heads. The water for family use
is always brought by the girls IN
eartheD jars, carefully poised in
this way. The exercise is said to
strengthen the muscles Of the lack,
while the chest is thrown forward.
No crooked backs are seen in Hin
dostan. DR.. II. Sprv says that this
exercise of carrying small vessels of
water might be advantageously in
troduced into our boarding schools
and private families and shat it
might entirely supersede the pres
ent machinery OF dumb bells. black
boards, skipping ropes, etc. The
young ladies ought to he taught to
carry the jar as these Hindoo wo
men do, without ever touching it
with their hands. The same prac
tice OF carrying water lends TO pre-
cisely the same -csu4s liz tie south
of Italy as in India. A Neapolitan
female peasant will carry on her
head avessel full of water to the very
brim, over a rough road, and not
spill a drop of it; and the acquisi
ton OF this art or knack gives her
the same erect and elastic gait.

Don't Like Whipping,

The Sioux chiefs, Spotted Tail
and Red Cloud, have taken their
children away from the Indian
school at Carlisle, Pa, because cor

there. my boys and girls said
Spotted Tail to the superintendent,
on a recent visit, ''shall never be
whipped by any one with my con-
sent. l will not leave them at a

the whip is used. A whipped boy
is apt to grow up whipped man.
Unless he had some spirit of life in
him, it is better be knew nothing.
A whipped man has neither spirit
nor life"

Fido.

1t sounds queerly to tell Of poo
die driving off a bear, but a lady
writer relates such a story In the
Rural New Yorker.
Twenty years ago when DR.. G
and his pretty young wife decided
to take Horace GreeIey's advice
and go West" the question arose,
"What shall we do with Fido?"
Fido was the family pet-a snow
white dog six inches high-b-t
with spirit as brave as that OF
any mastiff in the land.
Take him, of course said Lot
tie. "How can we live without Fl
do?"
"But. my dear, that is absurd.
Take a dog Il thousand miles?"
However, the deed was done.
One night, two years atterward,
the family were seated in the cot
tage talking hopefully of the bright
prospects before them, and long
ingly of the frie;.ds they had left
behind, when Fido came running
to the door barking violently.
Then he ran back TO the teEp or AIRY
stables, where the fine horses were
kept which the doctor had brought
all the way from the old Empire
State.
'Fido has started another Bad
ger | guess" said the dccto, re-
Stunning the conversation But
this did not answer. Back and
forth from the stables to the cot
tage the little sprite ran, almost
frantic with excitement, and bark
ing furiously.
At length the family went out
with lanterns, to try to quiet the
faithful dog more than from fear
of any danger.
They found one side of the sta
BILE torn of and a horse loose.
Something was moving away
across the field, and little Fido was
in hot pursuit.
at is a BEAR" said the doctor,
examining the tracks.
The animal was killed the next
day, huge fellow, who was disap

vixen.

An AGED TEACHER.
A Lady whe has Taugh school in
Whining ton for Gny years--She
Continues tho Werk.

In an unpretentious yet neat fram,
structure painted yellow, on Orang,
street between Sixth and Seventh, is .
school which is taught by lady named
Miss Elizabeth II Richards. The lady
was born in Philadelphia many years
ago, and at an early age she organized a
school In that city. After number o.
years had elapsed, she came to Will
mington and iu the year 1928, she began
to teach in school which was on the
estate belonging to Lea Pusey and
which adjoined the City Hall. Many
OF her former scholars Of Philadelphia
came to this city, boarded with her and
attended her school. A number Of
years later the school was removed to q
white building at the southwest corner
of Sixth and King streets, where it re-
mained for thirty years.
Next the building which has been re-
ferred to as being on Orange street was
occupied, and there the aged teacher
still continues her work, having been
at that place for at least seventeen years.
During her life Miss R. has taught
many pupils and now some Of them
have become grandmothers and grand
fathers. Frequently she meets persons
who speaks TO her yet she does not re-
cognize them, and when she inquiries
whom they may be, she often is sur
prised to learn that they formerly were
her scholars. The organization of the
public schools has had marked effect
upon the school taught by the aged
lady. She now only has eleven
scholars. These she teaches the Eng
lish branches, sewing, embroidery and
The desks and benches made by the
lady's brother and a wood stove which
she possessed ifty-two years ago, are
now used in her school. She is of the
opinion that 1t is better p educate the
girls with the boys, as it has q tenden-
ey to cause them to exibit better be-
havisr. She resides with Charles W.
Poinsett, on Seventh street between
Tatnall and West. Her hearing is good
but her eyesight is failing. She is a
of the Orthodox Friends Sooi-
ETY., Ninth ard Tatnall streets, and st.
ENDS the services almost every Sab
