Beers A RACE OF GIANTS

Aside from the PatagoDians, the
Beers are probably the tallest race OF
men in the world. anu they are stall
wart besldes-men OF strength, with
no useless flesh. Ii would be dill
cult TO find anywhere an entire race or
such physical giants as the Beers or
the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State The rowing existence, the life
In the open air and the freedom from
disturbing cares have combined to
make the Beers a race that is almost
physically perfect. Ii an average
height of all the full grown males In
| the country were taken, IL would be
found to be not less than feet inches
and probably more.
Their physique, Notwithstanding their
comparatively idle mode of living, Is
magnificently developed. The action
of the almost abnormally developed
muscles of the arms and legs, discerni-
BILE through their closely fitting gar
ments, gives an idea OF the remarkable
powers of endurance which the Beers
have displayed on many occasions
when engaged in native and other
campaigns. They can withstand al
most any amount Of physical pain and
discomfort and can live remarkably
long time on the smallest quantity Of
food.
1t is n matter of common knowledge
that Boer can subsist on a five pound
slice of "biltong"-beef that has been
dried in the sun until 1t Is almost as
hard as a stone-for 10 to Is days with
out suffering any pangs of hunger. In
time of war "biltong" is the principal
item in the army rations, and in peace,
when he is following his flocks, 1t is
also the Boer shepherds chief article
of diet

Cost of Playing Golf.

The cost OF playing outfit for golf
is not so great as to terrify the average
man in moderate circumstances, and
any one who rides n bicycle will find
that the bag and clubs will not come
to anything like the amount a wheel
costs. Wooden golf clubs cost from
$3.50 each upward irons sell at 81 each
for So. Assuming that four or five
clubs are necessary for start, the bag
and clubs will leave enough out of a
so bill to supply balls enough for a
number Of rounds. The best balls cost
81 per dozen, but very fair and serv-
iceable make can be bought for ST less.
When balls have been played with I'M
til dirt has dimmed their whiteness and
misplaced shots have spoiled their
roundness. they can be remolded and
repainted at a cost of 81 a dozen.
These remolded balls, or made overs"
as they are called. can be purchased
In the first place for 50 a dozen. II a
player can be forced to study economy,
a caddy can be dispensed with, the
usual tariff for this adjunct of the
game being 10 cents per hour.
Cheap clubs and cheap balls are not
economical in the end. The strain up
on shafts and wooden heads is very
great, and it is better policy to buy
good tools with which to start.-Satur-

The obeIisk Di.intexratinx.

Twenty years ago an obelisk was
placed in Central park, New York. 1t
is a relic of Thotmes Ill and Rameses
ii and in its native Egypt had been
preserved 5000 years. During the score
Of years in New York it has suffered
more disintegration than during the
5000 years previous, and at present
the world deplores the fact that 1t is
rapidly crumbling to atoms. There Is
not building in the great metropolis
that offers sufficient accommodations
so the gift of the khedlve of Egypt to
America. A glass case built over II
would not preserve 1t, but lately ii has
been suggested that 1t be placed In
the east wing of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum Of Art, now in process of con-
struction. This is the only solution Of
the problem as TO how this wonderful
relic may be preserved to posterity.

Undergo ments.

Dr. Taylor says editorially In the
Philadelphia Medical World: MANY
people use only two weights of under
garments, a summer weight and a win
ter weight. and they usually drop the
one and resume the other on a certain
date, according to the weather. A va
riety of weights should be at hand,
and they should be changed according
to the weather and with but little II
any reference to the almanac. Care
in this respect, particularly in the
aged, in children and In those whose
resistance is not the strongest, will
prevent many an illness, with more or
less serious consequences"

How much the children OF that island
have lost! No haymow sports, no hid

friendly depths of the harvest Of the
meadows, no rainy day delights, shar-
ed with swallows darting in and out;
no memories of such hours to give their
pleasant sadness to later years! Ameri-
can children will regard their contem-
poraries in Porto Rico as fair subjects
for sympathy-Youth's Companion.
