A famous traveling correspondent aeys that tha people In tha southern provinces of India do everything on the ground. They never use cbatrs or benches, but always squat upon the floor, and all their work la done upon the ground. Carpenters have no benches,, and if they plaee a board they place It on the earth before them and held.lt fast with their feet. The blacksmith hai his anvil oa the floor; the gordsmltb, the tailor and even the printer use the floor for benches, and It Is th desk of the letter-writer and the book keeper. It tooks queer to see a printer squatting before a case of type anJ even queerer to see a person writing letters with a block of paper apread out before him on the ground. But that is the Hindu custom. You find It everywhere throughout India, Just as you will And everybody, men, women and children, carrying loadB, no matter how light or bow heavy, upon their heads, if n errand i boy Is sent with a parcel he never touches It with his iuuds, but Invar iably carries It on the top of his tur ban. The other morning I ' counted even young chaps with "shining morning faces" on their way to school, every one of them with his books' and late upon hla head. Masons' helpers, who are mostly women, carry bricks and mortar upon their heads Instead of in hods, on their shoulders, and it is remarVsbl 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 na tives are developed at a very early age. If a porter can get assistance to hoist It to the top of bis bead, he will stagger along under any burden all right. I have seen eight men under a grand piano and two men under a big , American roller top desk, and in Cal cutta, where one of the street railway companies was extending its tracks, the workmen carried the rails upon their heads. - Forcing the Youthful Mind. , There is very general cry that chil dren are becoming every day ' less childllks, that they are being pressed far beyond their strength. Of course, the fanatics tell us that It is not so, that all this outcry Is the outcome of misplaced sentiment and of Ignorance of, the true inwardness of educational methods. But this we know, that .forced minds are very like forced plants curiosities, perhaps, but not jSjJcli as the experienced cultivator )kepa as "stock." Nature is very Jeal ous for her nurslings. You may fool considerably with adult specimens, even to the degree of making them hideous; you may experiment almost Indefinitely with this, and the other kind of pruning, grafting,, but let a cold wave or a h'ot wave but once blow upon your tender nurslings and they are gone without hope of resurrection. Philadelphia Ledger. In Doubt About the Head. Patrick Murphy, while passing down Dremont street, Boston, was hlt'on the hAd by a brick which fell from a botldlng In process of construction. .Otre of the first things he did after b$tng taken home and put to bed was to send for a lawyer. A few days later he received word to call, aa his lawyer had settied the caBe. He called and received Ave crisp, new $100 bills. "How much did you get?" he asked.

The eggs run to gether nnd form Jelly-like masses called spawn. Ench fCK, like those of the ben and all ether animals, contains a germ yolk, from which the living animal Is hatched, and a food-yolk, the latter be ing simply the nourishment which the living creature will absorb during the time of Its Imprisonment in the egg. The frog's egg about one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter, and contains food enough to sustain the young In mate for aboitC a fortnight. When he can wriggle his way out he bears no resemblance to bis parents, and is called a tadpole. By means of a sncker on the under side of his hesd he attaches himself to a weed or some other object in the water. In a few days a moiith with horny Jaws, but no tongue, is developed, nnd a digestive canal ten times as long as bis body is colled up like n watch spring for Internal use, while his toll lengthens and broadens Into a splendid paddle. He swims shoot, and feeds on tender plant and decaying veg etable matter, for at this stage ho Is a vegetarian. And he is not like some of those big pretenders we know of, who live In the water and yet arc not fish, having to come to the surface to breathe at mospheric air. The tadpole, like a tiuo fish, breathes through Kills-delicate, ctrrtuln-like structures, hanging from the gill arches, anil colored red by tho blood flowing through thorn. He takes in water through the mouth, passes it Into his throat, and then out At the gill slits at tho side of the neck, and so conveys life-giving oxygen to his blood. His heart has two chambers only, an auricle and a ventricle (later on, when ho becomes nn alr-brenthing animal, there will be two auricles and one ven tricle). By this time the eyes are perfectly formed, aud the mouth Is removed to the extremity of the head. All this time he is only a tadpole with no limbs, but underneath the skin they are preparing. Ahont the end of the third week the hind limbs appear lu the shape of two little projections on the surface where the body Is Joined to the tall, nnd grow rapidly. The fore limbs are also sprouting, but are at first hidden by the two folds which form the gill coverings. In a few weeks they push their way through the folds and appear almost suddenly. Towards the end of the second month the lungs come into use, and froggy sometimes rises to the surface and takes In a breath or two of air, thus for the time being becoming both a water-breather and an air-breather. But towards the end of the third month a change comes over him a change as great as thnt which converts the soft and shapeless chrysalis Into the winged butterfly.- This is the great epoch in the frog's life, and Is called the meta morphosis. Kot only are his size and shape changed, bnt bis internal organs undergo alteration. First, he ceases to feed; the outer layer of his skin falls off, the gUl-clefts close up and the gills are absorbed, the long tall shortens and soon completely disappears; the limbs, particularly the hind limbs, lengthen; the lungs are en larged, the digestive canal undergoes change, and froggy Is no longer a wnter-brenthlng, flsb-like creatnre, but an air-breathing land animal. In keep ing with all these proceedings Mr. Krog entirely alters his system of feeding; he is a vegetarian no longer, he will In future be a flesh-eater, as slugs and worms and Insects will find to their cost. But wh.t becomes of the long tall? It does not drop off, as we might per haps imagine. It is absorbed; begin ning at the tip, it gradually shrinks till it disappears. But though the frog loses In one direction, he gains in an other.' All through his Infancy and youth he has been tongiicless, now he is furnished with that useful member, though it is not fixed in the usual man ner; Its base Is fastened to the front of the lower Jaw, and its apex is turned backwards toward the throat. This tongue Is covered with a slimy secre tion, and can bo darted forth with lightning-like rapidity to capture some poor victim and convey It straight into the frog's throat. Tho greatest interest attaches to the fi'og and his transformation from the fact that In the successive stages of 1 Is development be resembles the adult form of a group of animals lower down in the scale of being. The frog and his cousin, the toad, stand at the head of the Amphibian class, being far in advance of their relatives, the newt and salamander. The mature frog can walk, run and leap on- land, and still swim well lu the water; the movement of the limbs iu the latter element be ing almost identical with thoso of a man in a similar situation. He is also very strong. By tho aid of the well developed lower limbs and their great muscular power some frogs csn ralso themselves In the air to twenty times their own height,, and traverse nt n bound a space over fifty times tho length of their own bodies. Yes, though the present-day frog is but a pygmy compared with the giant Amphibians which ToameA the land in the far off Carboniferous Period of the world's history, he is truly a wonder ful little animal, and the X-rays have helped to reveal to us the marvels of his structure and the changes It under goes.

A I haarjr Arlvanead fcr M, A. I.atour Ita Banting Their tntetllaenee. According to the theory that Instinct Is inherited experience, it Is difficult to 'see wby Insects thst live only a few weeks or months should have any Instincts at all, since the time In which thry may accumulate experience Is so limited. But. Mr. Kdmond .Terrier, sn advocate of this theory, shows us that we may reconcile It with these facts by supposing thst the origins) experiences, of which the instinct of insects Is lh"e successor by hereditary transmission, was ncqulred by their ancestors age. ago, when they lived longer end had time to learn. Of this Ingenious theory, M. A. Lstour ssys In La Nature: "The progress made recently iu the study of the nervous system bus led M. Kdmond Perrler to n new theory of Instinct, regarding which philosophers will probably be somewhat skeptical, but of which a geological consequence deserves to be known for its Inge nuity. "The author is endeavoring to ex plain, by means of experience and her edity alone, how Insects, whose adult life Inst only a few weeks, or even a few days, nnd who know nothing of their psrentage. have the time and the ability to acquire tbelr wonderful In stincts. Evidently there Is no possi bility here of education nor of customs; it wenld swmi us if the manifestation of Instinct in the tudivktaul wore qnlte spontaneous. But M. Perrler notes that the existence of the seasons, as we know them, appears to be of very re cent ecological origin. Geologists in general agree tbat tempcroture and climate were once, for very long periods, absolutely uniform In all pHrts of the earth, and throughout the whole yenr. "This Is explained by the fsct that tho sun was then much larger, the In equalities of the seasons having been finally brought about, little by little, by Its gradual condensation. Now in sects existed at a time when this con densation had not yet tuken place. In sects were remnrkolily abundant on the banks of the carboniferous lakes or lagoons, and the Interesting discov eries of Messrs. Fayol and Charles Brongniarr. at Cornnientry. have shown how great was their variety and how huge their slxe at that time. "Now, since there were then no sea sonsthe cause that now brings about the early death of Insects, so soon after their reproduction those carboniferous Insects must have lived ns long as any other creatures; they must have been able, like our higher animals, to ac quire experience nnd transmit. It to their offspring, thus gaining an ac quired and cultivated Intelligence in the same measure ns other living be ings. "This was then transmitted by hered ity, when the seasons began to appear, in the tertiary epoch, when by the up pearanee of cold Insect life was re duced to a brief season, when experi ence and parental education could no longer play their part, the Intelligence formerly acquired nnd transmitted from generation to generation must, according to M. Perrier's theory, have been changed into Immutable instinct; that Is to say, it must have been fixed at a determinate point without power to progress further. Our present in sects are thus reproducing indefinitely the faculties nnd cerebral development of the insects of the secondary epoch of geological time." Llterury Digest. "Cleaning Up" After War. In consequence of the floating mines in the waters traversed by steamers bound for Newcbwang freight and in surance rates have been raised aud ves sels have been delayed by anchoring at night. With every precaution several steamers have been blown up or dam aged.

WORKING WOMEN Their Hard Struggle Made Easier Interesting State ments by a Young Lady in Boston'' and One in Nashville, Tenn. All women works some in their homes, some In church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens ot thousands are on the never-ceaalng treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical laws; all suffer alike from tbe same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, la many eases, quickly drifts them Into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, ovarian troubles, ulceration, falling and dis placements of the womb, leucorrhoea, or perhaps irregularity or suppression of "monthly periods," causing back ache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude. Women who stand on their feet all day are more susceptible to these troubles than others. They especially require an invigorating-, sustaining medicine which will strengthen the female organinm and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful. How distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or per form her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female or ganism.
