Bab,'s Bath iu Central africa.

These Africans are very hardy race,
and think IL IL, no doubt, owing, to q
very great extent, to the introduction
they receive at very early age to the
strengthening effect of the cold water
bathing. Every morning, as soon as
they leave their huts, tho women file
down to the rivers edge to give their
babies bath. The mother walks knee
deep into the stream; then catching the
half-awakened infant by the wrist, she
dips him into the chilly water, and holds
him firmly as he wriggles beneath the
surface. It always happens that several
women are 30 occupied at the same time,
and they naturally engage in converse
ton, when the discussion is often 60
interesting character that the infant in
the water is almost forgotten, till his
frantic struggles and tugging warn the
dusky parent that he Is not amphibious.
The child is then hauled out, but, before
he has time to recover, his violent chok-
ing and spluttering are again lost in the
depths of the muddy stream. After
repeating this operation four or Eve
times, the mother carries the bewildered
little piece of ebonized humanity back
to the village, and spreads him out on
mat in the sun to gradually recover from
the shock. This seems to me to be
rather rough and uncomfortable means
of providing for the survival of the
fttest.-Harper's Young People.

Indian Canals and Reservoirs.

| canals in India are Of two classes: tidal
canals, which are for navigation only.
and the larger perennial canals, which
serve for navigation with irrigation.
Perennial canals are, as a rule, provided
with head works and weirs TO raise the
water level in the river, and afford a
supply at all seasons. They may be sub. e.
| divided into deltaic and non-deltaic. In
deita:c tracts the bed of the river is little
below the level of the surrounding coun.
try, and water can be distributed by
gravltatIon without the Intervention of
any great length of leading canal. The
principal examples of this class of canal
IN India are the Godavari, Krishna.
CauVery, Penner and Srivaikuntham
systems in the Madras Presidency, and
the orlssa system in Bengal. Consider.
able lengths of embankments are neces.
hary in conjunction with these canals, as
protection against flooding from the
river.
Non.deltaic canals tap the river high
up in its course, where the bed is far
below the ground surface, and they re.
qulre to be carried considerable distance,
before the water can be distributed by
graVitation, or even by moderate lift.
The best examples of these are the Sir
hind, Chenab and Western Jumua canals
In the Punjab, and the Ganges, the Agra
and Eastern Jumna canals in the North.

ONE Way OF PRESERVING CHINA.


In certain primly kept house in an
old-fashioned country town it is family
boast that not one bit of china has been
broken, cracked or "nicked" IN twenty.
seven years. The last time such a dis
aster occurred was when some soldiers
visited the place about the close of the
war. 1t is almost unnecessary to remark
that no male creature Is member of
this noteworthy household. Three
maiden ladies, who were young when
the china breaking troops came, compose
the family, and this is the way the rite
of dishwashiug is conducted:
All the edibles are removed, aud the
pretty, creamy china with its purple and
gilt band is carefully scraped with a
scrap OF bread. 10 scrape with a knife
would be held crime. Then it is piled
neatly on low table about the size of
sewing table. The cut glass aud old
fashioned silver are also piled there.
Then one of the sisters takes her place
on a chair before it aud another hers on
the SIDE. big bowl of water just hot
enough for the hands to work in com.

The articles are washed piece BY piece,
by one sister, the silver and glass first.
then the CHINA. Then the second sister
dries them on soft linen cloths, and
places them on the other table. No
mops, no boiling water, no piling of
dishes and pouring of water over them
is ever allowed. And that is why the
dishes are not cracked or nicked, though
they are worn thin. Besides, the pro-
cess invests dishwashing with certain
sort Of poetry.--St. Louis Republic.

Jumps. Before using for polishing brass
it must be reduced to powder, and in
this state it quickly dissolves to

be rubbed off vigorously with flannel
cloth, the finishing polish being given
with the powder, dry, aud subsequent
