lndia's Odd Wavs,

A famous travelling correspondent
says that the people in the southern
provinces Of India do everything on
the ground. They never use chairs OF
benches, but always squat upon the
floor, and all their work is done upon
the ground.
Carpenters have no benches, and II
they plane board they place it on
the earth before them and hold 1t fast
with their feet. The blacksmith has
his anvil on the floor; the goldsmith,
the tailor and even the printer use
the floor for benches. and it is the
desk Of the letter-writer and the book
keeper.
1t rocks queer to see a printer
squatting tefore case Of type and
even queerer to see a person writing
letters with block Of paper spread
out before him on the ground. But
that is the Hindu custom.
You find 1t everywhere throughout
India, just as you will find everybody,
men, women and children, carrying
loads, no matter how light or how
heavy, upon their heads. If an errand
boy is sent with parcel he never
touches it with his hands. but invar
iably carries It on the top Of his tur
ban. The other morning I counted
seven young chaps with shining
morning faces" on their way to school.
every one of them with his books and
slate upon his head.
Masons' helpers, who are mostly
women, carry bricks and mortar upon
their heads instead Of in hods, on
their shoulders, and 1t is remarkable
what heavy loads their spines will sup
port.
At the railway stations all the lug
gage and freight is carried the same
way. The necks and backs OF the ma
tives are developed at very early
age.
If a porter can get assistance to
hoist it to the top Of his head, he will
stagger along under any burden all

Fish That Chance Color,

Among the curious observations
made by students at the Bermuda b.
illogical station is that some OF the
inhabitants Of the water there are
able to initiate the color Of the rocks
and reefs among which they swim.
The common fish called the grouper
possesses this power. Its chromatic
variability runs through a consider
able range of colors. A specimen of
the Octopus vulgarls, after jerking an
oar from the hand Of an inquisitivo
naturalist. escaped pursuit by its abi]-
ity to initiate the exact shade OF any
brown or grey rock on which 1t rested.

Costly Butterflies.
