The Hindoo girls are graceful and exquisitely formed. From their earliest childhood they are accus- toned to carry burdens on their heads. The water for family use is always brought by the girls in earth ern jars, carefully poised Tn this way. The exercises is aid to strengthen the muscles of the back !, while the chest is thrown ward. No crooked backs are seen in Hin doostand. Dr. H. Spry says that this exercise of carrying small ves> sels Of water on the head might be advantageously introduced into our boarding schools and private fami- lies, and that it might en tirely super
 sede the present machinery of dumb bells, etc. The young ladies ought to be taught to carry the jars as these Hindoo women, without even touch> ing-lt with their hands. The same practice of carrying water leads to precisely the same results Tn the south of Italy.

PREPARATIONS FOR REFER
 TIMES,

There is but little change 10 note in general business since last week. The process of adjusting wages to the sc ale of prices tor manufactured products continues, and in the great majority of cases the workmen ac>
 cspt the inevitable reduction, while the few strikes reported do not seem to offer much chance of success The stoppage of mills is less com> mon, and even in the iron and steel trades, where the shutting>down of work appears to attract more atten- tion than elsewhere, the suspensions are offset by the renewal of work in other places. With prices lower than those 10 which the trade has been accustomed, it is a natural res suit that some works can afford to continue or resume production while others are oblige to stop in view of certain loss.
 The reports from the New Eng land cotton mills are less unfavora- ble, the demand for wool shows cons tinusd improvement, and manufac- turers generally are at least in no worse condition. The coal trade is somewhat disturbed by the change of plan by the anthracite companies, which recalled the order fer sus- pending work during the first week of December.
 Everything in the way of prices for stocks depends on the view taken from day to day as to the pros- poets of traffic, until navigation re~ opens in the spring, and the leading spectators are exert1ng themselves to induce investors to buy at once. The enormous surplus held by the banks encourages these efforts, as does tn he continued low rate for loans And it is practical sanction of th;s view that we see offered for public new securities of strong and well-known railroad companies Undertooods Reporter.

Didn't Belong to Him |.

An old bachelor who lives in the suburbs of Austin hires a colored man of about IS to clean out hls room, fill the lamp, and perform like services. A few days ago the col ored domestic, who had been using his employers blacking, said: "Boss, our blackin' am out"
 "What do you mean?" glowled the sorbid employer; everything belongs to me, l want you to under stand that nothing belongs to you"
 The terrified darkey promised to comply with the request. On the following Sunday the boss happened to meet the coiored menial, accom- panied by chocolate colored woman pushing baby carriage.
 ''Was tha; your baby in that car- riage?' he asked the next day, quite a number of his friends being pres ent
 "No, boss, dat's not my chile; dat is your chile. I'se nebber gwine ter say nuffing belongs 10 me no noah"

sentence. You will listcB attentive ly while we sing the opening chorus and the favorite plantation n eledies and you will guess every conum drum. and laugh at every joke. Say 1 not wisely, Brother Bon'es?"
 A unanimous "yahl yhh!" from the other kings expressed their warm approval.
 "Nol mol" cried the traveller, in an agony of fear. "Glve me some little show. Burn me, if you will, but do not torture me on this 'oly Christmas morning with your haw- full songs and conundrums. I've 'eard them all at 'ome." And in his desperation the wretched man fell on his knees before the native king who had pronounced the dreadful sentence. That monarch, indignant beyond measure, raised his guitar and struck the traveller terrible blow over the head. The whole earth seemed to reel, and the doomed white man became arconcious.
 When he regained his senses he found himself sitting on the shore of the lake where he had sat the night before. A young man, neatly dressed in European clothes stood before him, and remarked in a grace full way, Mir. Jones, I believe"
 "And you are MT. Smith, I darc> say," replied the traveller. "Ave you got anything to heat with you"
 The young man had been sent to find the traveller, He had with him all sort of stores. including canned plum pudding and boned turkey. As he drew the travellers arm in his, and assisted him to the place where break fast was awaiting them, he said, ''I ~ish you @ merry Christ mas"
 It was the merriest Christmas the traveller had ever known, and when hs returned 10 Englapl with more new lakes and two private sources of the Nile, he said that all his hOnors could not give him the de> light which he had known during his last Christmas Tn Central Africa after awakening from his terrible dream of tho twelve native kings.

Dr. Edward B.-Foot as repre- sentative of electric medicine, as a writer of popular medical literature, and as physician stands prominent, and is, perhaps, better known by his writings than any other medical writer who has directed his teachings to the people rather than to the pro- fessicn. Born and raised among Connecticut settlers, on the -"Westt ern Reserve" in Ohio, he early began the work of many self-made men. Starting at the age of sixteen as "prin;er's devil' in a newspaper office, he worked his way to the edi- torial chair, and was severally cons nected with the most prosperous weekly, of its time, in Connecticut,
 and the first successful morning paper of Brooklyn, N. Y, but his main impulse had always been toward the study of medicine, and to this end business enterprises were sacrificed until an apprentiship with a noted botanical specialist, and course of study finishing with grsd~ uation, found him prepared to follow out the bent of his life to its coms
 pletior. He was among the earliest of those whe advocated the publicG-
 ton of anatomical, physiological and hygienic books for the masses, and his success in writing and pop ular books has been conspicuous. His first and best known book, en- titled Medical Common Seuse," reaohed 2 circulation of 250,000 copies, probably because of its erig- inality and novelty in new field; and his subsequent writings have been manly in the same line, "Science in Story" having been written for the purpose of afording a readable book for children, and one which should make plain to thelr comprehenslon the facts which he considered 1t necessary for them to know concerning their own bodies.
 In speaking of the late Prof J. s. Smith, of Oxford, London, Nature remarks: 1t has been said that in sci tntific thought, the best and most original ideas have always been conceived before tue age of thirty" This is probably true also, of the original of thls portrait. His most radical thoughts were publish ed in his first work, written before he was twenty-nine years of age, and though his pen is never idle, his first success has not yet been equalled by subsequent work, though his "Plain Home Talk" revision and enlargement of Medical Com- mon Sense," seems likely in time to obtain circulation rivalling that of its predecessor.
 In practice Dr. Foote has always been independent, progressive and original, always a foe 10 Old-fogyIsm and trade>unionlsm in medicine; cnce a disciple of the old Thomp- sonian botanical school, as opposed to mineral and blood=lettlng prac- tice, and now staunch supporter of Ecleciicism in all that the name implies. He has been actively en> gagged in the practice of his profess sion for thirty years. and as the portrait given here is from recent photograph, hard work appears 10 agree with him, and he looks equal to twenty years more Of it.

This timid, afraid-somebody-won't-like-l char acter never won anything either for an individual or body of individ> uaIs.

How Wooden spoois are mase.

The birch is first sawed into sticks
 four or five feet long and seVen>
 eigths of an inch to three inches square, according to the size of the
 spool to be produced, These sticks
 arc thoroughly seasoned. They are sawed into shcrt blocks, and the
 blocks are dr1ed in hot-air kiln. At they time the are sawed hole is bored through them. One Whirl of the brittle block agaInst sharp knives shaped by pattern, make the spool at the rate of enc per second. A small boy feeds the spool machine, simply placing the blocks in the spout and throwing out the knottY or defective stock. The machinery is automatic, but cannot do the sort~ ing. The spools are revolved rapid ly in drums and polish themselves.
 For some purposes they are dyed yellow, red or black. They are made into thousands of shapes and sizes.
 When one sees on a spool of thread "100 yards" or 200 yards" these words do not signify that the thread has been measured, but that the spool has been gauged and is SUD- posed to contain so much thread. When a silk or linen or cotton firm wants spool made it sends pat. tern to the spool maker. The pattern gives the slze and shape of the barrel and of the head and bevel. These patterns determine the amount of thread that the spool will hold. One factory turns out 100000 gross of spools per day, and consumes 3 800 co rds of birch annual.
