Derivation of the Word BOer.
From the London Law Times.


It is curious to note in connection with
the national designation of our present
foes in South Africa, the survivance in
Scottish legal and agricultural parlance
of the closely allied term Bower" pro
nouneed Booer). The expressions prop
erly applied to a person who hires, from
the proprietor or principal tenant of a
farm, stock of cows along with the right
Of grazing them on certain fields. The
Bower makes in return a money payment
Of so much per COW. and trusts to making
his profit out Of the sale of the dairy
produce. The precise legal position of a
party who has a. blowing" lease is some
what indeterminate, being midway be-
tween that of a mere manager and that of
a sub-tenant. Instances of this mixed
contract of lease of land and hiring of
labor are now rare, but it is still to be
found in agricultural districts. An in
stance of it in Arran was the subject of
judicial consideration in 1894. The word
bower is allied to the Gaelic DO"
cow and among its numerous cognates in
the Aryan languages is included the
Dutch term "Boer."

Washington, April 25.-The Industrial

report on prison labor.
The commission, after a careful con-

state should have absolute control of the

disposition of the products of their indus
