In the advantage of exercise though his ways are not ours One favorite form It 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 swuug round the head until It reaches a sufficient momentum when it Is released The man who throws the farthest does not of necessi ty win as it Is necessary that the1 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 jumpn If a mans foot leaves its proper plnce he Is disqualified There is no more se vere strain on the muscles of the leg I than this The distance for such a race as this is generally twenty paces The Boer is gifted with wonderful endurance At long distances he could hold his own with any but he wpuld not stand any chance with our men at sprint racing as he lacks the necessary speed The Sacred Scnrnl The sacred scarabreus was for many centuries venerated by ancient Egyp tians a cult shared recently by Hotten tots and akin to that of the holy cricket of Madagascar In explanation of this Thespesion 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 both regard ed as emblems of Rathe sun god of Ptah the creative power and of re birth resurrection and immortality Every beetle was held to be 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 tho 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 Why should Grass Widow a woman separated from her husband be called a grass 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

Hardly the Most VI- clous Will Resent It There is hardly a living creature said a naturalist that will not permit a hunisn being to touch it if it is done in the right way It is necessary to he gentle and patient and at the same time without fear I have seen natives scratch the heads of tigers and lions witntn a lew days alter tney were trapped Ilunters of wild elephants often crawl among a herd and rub their legs The great brutes although they are on the alert will permit the caress and stand still until the plucky hunter is able to slip a rope around the leg of the animal he wishes to cap ture In our own country I have seen many men who can creep to a trout stream and gently place their hands under a trout Very softly they rub its belly and the trout will lie quite still until with a sudden jerk it is land ed on the bank I have also seen professional rat catchers put their hands palm upward before a rat hole when the ferrets were driving them As a rat ran out it would sit still on the rat catchers hand Then with his other hand he would stroke it delicately and in three times out of four he would manage to lift the rat without alarming it and drop it Into his bag I have even
