SHOES
BOER AMUSEMENTS
Am o tip Them Arc Pole Climbing Ax
Thrivwic und Sun tit KaolnfC
The Boer is n linn believer in the
advantage of exercise though his -ways
are not ours One favorite form Is
pole climbing This consists of hav
ing one arm tied behind the back and
swarming to the top of the pole with
the aid of the legs and the free arm
It sounds simple but It Is not half so
simple as it seems
Another exercise is throwing the
hatchet or ax to be more correct An
ordinary wood chopping ax is used for
this This is swuii round the head
until it reaches a sullicient momentum
when it is released The man who
throws the farthest does not of necessi
ty win as it is necessary that the blade
should bury itself in the earth on
reaching its destination It requires a
considerable amount of skill to accom
plish this
Another kind of amusement is spade
racing The men stand with one foot
on either side of an ordinary spade
grasping the top of the handle between
the hands At the signal they start
forward by a series of jumps If a
mans foot loaves its proper place he
Is disqualified There is no more se
vere strain on the muscles of the leg
than this The distance for such a
race as this is generally twenty paces
The Boer is gifted with wonderful
endurance At long distances lie could
hold his own with any but he would
not stand any chance with our men at
sprint racing as he lacks the necessary
speed
The Sacreil SenrnIi
The sacred scarabreus was for many
centuries venerated by uu il Egyp
tians a cult shared recently by Hotten
tots and akin to that of the holy cricket
of Madagascar
In explanation of this Thepesion
said The Egyptians do not venture to
give form to their gods they use sym
bols of occult meaning A black and a
golden green beetle were botii regard
ed as emblems of Ita the sun god of
Ptah the creative power and of re
birth resurrection and immortality
Every beetle was held to he male and
self produced Its thirty toes symbol
ized the days of a month and the pel
let of dung in which it rolled along its
eggs was a type of the movements of
the sun
In ancient Egyptian philosophy the
sacred scarab is spoken of as the first
living creature that sprang from the
mud of the subsiding Nile It was
closely connected with astronomy and
used as an amulet of sovereign virtue
for the living and the dead
Origin of Grass Widow
Why should a woman separated
from her husband bo called n pcrass
widow asked a young man of the
antiquary The term grass widow
the latter answered has nothing to
do with the herbage on our lawns
Grass is a misspelling sanctioned by
custom of grace In the past when
divorces were rare a woman separated
legally from her husband was called a
viduca de gratia by the Roman
church and the French called her a
veuve de grace The meaning of both
terms is the same widow by grace
We took the veuve from the French
and translated it properly into widow
but the grace we incorporated into
our language misspelling it in the
process You would be technically cor
rect in writing grace instead of
grass widow but it is probable that
no one would understand what you
meant Philadelphia Record

TIic Japanese TOiy
The question of choice Between two
vases was decided by a patron in a
Japanese shop when the proprietor
said That smaller vase madam is
thoroughly Japanese in form and deco
ration That floral pattern in gold
around the upper half is characteris

row and short neck The vase will hold
but a single blossom that shoukl be
long stemmed and stand upright Thus
the flower will be individualized and
the vase likewise That is the Japanese
