Making Girls Straight.

The Hindoo girls arc gracefully and
exquisitely formed. From their earli-
est childhood they arc 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 tho muscles of the
back, while the chest is thrown forward.
No crooked backs are seen in Hiudo-
stan. Dr.. 81. Spray says this exercise
of carrying small vessels OF water on
the heal might bo advaptageously in
troduced into boarding-schools and
private families, and that it might
entirely supersede the present ma
chine-y of dumb-bells, black kboards,
skipping-ropes, etc. The young Ia lies
ought to be taught to carry the jar the
same as the Hindoo women do. without
ever touching it with their hards. The
same practice of carrying water leads
precisely to the same results in the
south of Italy as in India. A Neapoli.
tan female peasant will carry on her
head vessel full Of water to the brim
over rough road and not spill drop
OF it, and the acquisition of this art OF
knsck gives her the same erect and
classical gait.

An Invention Destined to Super
sodG Rowing,

--
An Auburn inventor has patented a
device for propelliug boats which
promises 10 entirely revolutiouize the
present laborious method of rowing,
ana which viii be hailed with delight
by the young man who has 10 take his
best girl und lis portly prospective

have TO row msy dilate upon the scensry
OF the outlet and the beauties Of =" life
or the ocean wave" as much as they
please, but the fatigued and perspiripg
J5ang man mentally says lie would
prefer saving cord of wood to rowing
many miles furthor.
Tae new mechanical movement Of
which We wish TO speak in this article
will agreeably diminish, if not entirely
obvIate, nearly all the scrrows OF the
amateur oarsmap. The inventor is Mr..
Henry n. Ssaats. OF this city, and the
design of his pppliance is to render
practicable the use of screw propeller
upon small boats. Tho invention cen
be applied to Gny iow-hoat, ard consists
cimpiy OF propeller Shaft which
prof acts through tie stern Of tho boat
ard haa secured 10 its end screw
propeller, which, by the rotation OF the
shaft by hand power applied to double
crank, causes the boat to move forward
with greater or less speed, governed by
the rapiaity If the revolutions.
The work is not nearly SO tiresome IS
rowing, and with the same amount oi
power expended the speed attained is
far greater. The advantages of the
propeller are numerous and must bt
conceded. Ooe is shat the person faces

snce is certainly ingenious and eHi
nently practicable. We have witnessed
i,s operation, and everybody who ha
rowed boat "for pleasure will b
charmed with it. The cost of the np
paratus is but SO, and We can unhesi
iatingly say, that upon trial We do no
believe the owner of boat would b
willing to hava it taken out and return
to the old method for qnadruple tn

The Reserve Of Energy.

The reserve Of energy beiCg SO ira.
portant to the organization, nature has
taken peculiar precaution against its
destruction. She has placed vigilant
guards to prevent invasion by direct
encroacbment. Pain is not suspended
by the persistent iafiction of injury
unless the mechanism of sensation is
disabled or destroyed. Hunger does
not cease until starvation has assailed
the seat Of nutrition. The sense OF
extreme WEAKNESS is not allayed by
increased activity, but the longing for
rest may subside. because il has been
siifled by some overwhelming influence.
The natural safeguards are SO well
fitted for their task that neither bo6y
nor mind is exposed to the peril OF
serious exhaustion so long as their
functions are duly performed. In brief,
overwork is impossible SO long as the
effort made is natural. When energy
Of any kind takes morbid form of ac-
tion, some force ontside itself must be
reaciing upon it ipiuriously; and the
scat Of tue injury, SO far AZ the sinister
influence on energy is concerned, will
be found in close proximity to the sen
sstion which under normal conditions
guards The reserve. The uso of stirpu T.
lants in aid OF work is perhaps one of the
commonest forms of collateral influence
auspending the warning sense of ex-
haustion. When the laborious worker,
overcome with fatigue. "rouses him
self ssith alcohol, coffee, tea, or any
other agent which may chance to suit
! him, he does not add unit OF force tc
his stock of energy, he simply nar'
cotizes the sense of wearinees, and, the
guard being drugged, he appropriates
the reserve. In like manner, when the
dreamer and night watcher, worn ou
by sleepleesness. employs opium
chlorai, or some other poison to pro
dHce the sembIance of repose, he stu
peties the consciousness OF unrest, but
except i'll eases where it is Only habi
OF eleeplessness which has been con
tracted, and. being interrupted, may b'
broken by temporary recourse to 1
porilous artifice, the condition is un
relieved. Not uufrequently the warn
ing sense is stihed by the very inteusii.
of the motive power or impulse. Am
bition, zeal, love, sometimes fear. W il
carry maa beyond the bounds set b.
nature. No matter what suspends tn
functions of the guard set at the thresh
old of the reserve. if the residue stoel
is touched, two consequences ensue--
waste and depreciation.

Bran Work and Worry.

The part which q reserve of energy
plays in brain work can scarcely be ex-
aggera!ed. Reserves are of high mo-
mcnt everywhere in the animal econo-
nv, and the reserve of mental force is
in practical sense more important
than any other. 1t may happen that
mere streag:h Of mind carries body
with scarcely vestage of power In re-
serve through some crisis of ex!racrdi-
sry difficulty, but the mental exploit is
full OF danger. The residual air in Il
lung is the basis of the respiratory
process; the sustained tension Of the
smaller arteries,transforms the pulsat
ing current OF blood thrown into tho
system by the heart to continuous
circulation; the equilibriated tonicity
of opposing muscles gives stability to
the apparatus OF motion. and renders
specific combinations of movement pos
sible. What is true Of the physical is
also true of the menta! constitution;
the residual force, the tension, the
tonicity of mind, form the basis of in
telleotual action.
Without reserve OF energy. healthy
brain work is impossible. Pain,
hunger, anxiety and a sense of mind.
weariness are the warning tokens oil
exhaustion extending to the reserves.
When these indications are disregarded
or destroyed, as they may be, by stu.
pefying drugs, an inordinate use CT
stimulants. strong effort OF the will
or the arnstheiic effect of excessive
exhaustion, the consumption of energy
goes on unobserved. The feats of in
tellectual or physical strength. ths
surprising exploits of special sensation
and mind power performed by indi
vijuals under the influence of any
condition which suspends the sense o
pain, weakness or fatigue. are explained
by the circumstance that unsuspectet
reserves of power and endurance ar
placed at the disposal OF tie will
These resources were there before. bu
jealously guarded by the sensations
Martyrdom is possible under the in
fuence of an overpowering abstraction
Passion may produce similar immuni
ty from pain, and give ability to en-
dure even self-inhicted irjary. Th

last assertion.

The BEST FARM HoRsK.-Years ago,
when faster horse than then existed
was desirable, there was reason in the
attempts to improve the speed of the
snimal, bnt there is hardly doubt that
the good Of ths farmer has been nearly
altogether lost sight of in the desire to
get horses of gre1t speed. The best
farm horse is the strong horse. and one
that can step out lively. snd has endur'
ance to get through days work
without great fatigue. The business
of raising fast horses is altogether dis
tinct from the business of the farmer.
1t is q source OF excitement to see q
horse race. but when farmer thinks
the horse he sees racing is the one be
ought to have on his farm he makes &
mistake. The heavy Norman horse
would be more profitable than the one
thst was simply racer.

The Digestion OF Fat.

Il is only somewhat recently that it
has been learned how fats and oils
they are essentially The same-are pre-
pared for absorption into the human
body. The one grand requisite is that
they be first emulsi6ed-thst is, dis
solved, with water, into seapy, milk
like a1id.
An alkali ia essential to their emulsi
fication. But pure oil, shaken up
with an slkali, soda, for instance
does not form an emulsion. The glob-
ules of fat reunite after the shaking
has ceased.
1t has been found, however, that If
the oil is slightly rancid. e., one of
its acids separated from it. for oils are
composed OF several acids and glycer.
ine-a permanent milky emulsion will
then be formed.
When. therefore, oil or fat is eaten,
the warmth Of the stomach and the
gastric juice slightly acidify it. On its
passage out of the stomach it almost
Immediately meets the bile, which is
decidedly alkaline. and the pancreatic
fluid, which is also a powerful agent
for Gisintegrsting it. The acid and the
alkg!i combine to form the milky emul-
sion. and this ID taken up by the mil
lions OF minute mouths which open
into tho intestines along almost their
entire length. We have called this
emulsion a soapy fluid. 1t is so in the
striotest sense of the term; for soap is
only the union of an alkali-sods, OF
potash-with the acid OF the fat.
A great student of nature said, I

that is only what all science is doing.
For ages man has digested fat without
