How HINDoO GIRLS ARE MADE
STRAIGHT The IIndoo girls are very
graceful and eXquisitely formed. From
Their earliest childhood they are aceus-
toned TO carry burdens on their heads
The water for family use is aIwavs I5ro-l
by :he girls in caTihern lars. carefully
poised in this way. The exercise is said
To strengthen the muscles OF the hack
while the chest is thrown forward. No
crooked backs are seen in Hindostan.
Dr. II. Spry says that his exercise of
carrying small vessels of water on the
head might be advantagcousIv intro
dTceG into boarding-sch0 and private
families. and that 1t might entirely sr-
percede the present machinery of dumb
bells, back-bOards, skipping ropes. etc
LIE young ladies ought to be taught "a
carry the jar as these Hindoo woman do
without touching it with their hands
l ne same practice Of carving water
I'ado precisely to the same result in the
south OF Italy as in India. \ Neapoli-
tan female peasant will carry on her
mead vessel full of water TO the very
prim over rough road. and not spill q
drop OF 1t and the acquisition of this
art or knack gives her the same erect
and elastic gait.
