4 CuRIoUs WAY TO GET REsrgp.-It is
custom in Berwirksl,irc, England, among
workers in The field, when their backs he.
come much tired by bowins low down,
while singing lurnps with short shankrd
hoes, to lie down upon their faces to the
ground, allowing others to step across the
lower pa,t Of their backs on the lumbar re-
g'"n, with one foot several times, until the
pam OF fatigue is removed. Burton, in his
First Footsteps i'll East A'Iica," narra,es a
very similar custom Of females who lead
the cancls. on feeling fa,igued, and WHO
"IIe at full length, prone, stand upon each
others back, trampIi"g and kneaJing with
M their toes, and rise like giants refreshed"
This custom is called "j"g,i" in Africa, in
our country it is "straitening the back"
