LIFE AMONG BOERs.


women Have Way of Eating Alone.
The daily life of Boer family
is q simple one, says Captain
White in the Forum" AT day
light all the members assemble in
the main room-the kitchen and
eating room, although most of the
food is cooked in the open air
where the head of the family
reads reverently chapter or two
from the Bible-generally the Old
Testament simple, manly pray
er is then offered, followed by the
observance of an ancient Bible
custom. A colored handmade en-
ters the room with basin of
water and towel. The guest is
first approached and invited to
wash his hands and face and wipe
them on the towel. The head of
the family is next approached,
and sc ca around the room until
all have been included in the
ceremony. This constitutes the
days additions of the family.
The morning meal consists of
dish Of meat-deer or mutton,
and sometimes beef cut into
large pieces. They all sit around
the board, while the father says
long grace, and stranger not
familiar with their table manners
is apt to be left in the lurch. Each
man, for the women eat alone,
selects particular piece of meat
that strikes his fancy, and as soon
as the "amen" is spoken sticks his
fork into the piece selected. II
happens sometimes that two select
the same piece; then, the quickest
man gets the booty. Dry bread,
sometimes butter, and strong
black coffee complete the bill Of
fare, which may stand as a sample
meal. 1t has been urged against
the Boer that he is uncleanly, and
this cannot be denied, but there is
an excuse for this in the scarcity
of water.
The military system adopted
by the Beers is simple, and yet
perfect in its way. Each district
is commanded by a field cornet,
whose duty it is in case of alarm
to issue notices to all in the dis
trict. An alarm is generally
brought in by some herdsman or
native hunter, who has accidental
ly run upon the enemy, or upon
some rumor of his approach.
Mounted men at top speed are
instantly dispatched to all quar-
tors of the district, and in short
time every family, with house
hold Gear and herds, are trekking
as quietly as possible to the dis
trict town in which is situated the
lager. 1t takes but compare
lively short time for every white
man, woman and child to be safe
ly ensconced. The defense at
tended to. riders are dispatched
to meet the foe and to bring news
of his approach. Messengers are
spurred to the capital to alarm
the Government, and within few
hours thousands of the fuest
shots and best equipped horse
men in the world have assembled
in defense of their fatherland.
The Beers seldom attack the foe:
their general plan is, as in the
late jameson raid, to hover around
until convenient piece of coun-
try is found, when, trusting to
their prowess as shots and to the
excellence of their horses to keep
out of harms way, they pour
deluge OF lead on the foe from a
long distance.
