MAKING BoER "REIMS."
Skins Turned Into Thongs for South
African Ox-Vagons.


African Ox-Vaaons.
One of the strangest things which
strikes the eye on a casual visit to a
Boer farm is a curious structure, not
far from the homestead, standing up
against the skyline like a gigantic
gallows, says the London Mail. There
is stout, roughly hewn tree plant
ed fair and square in the ground
From this is crossbeam, in the CEN
ter of which is large iron hook Di-
rectly underneath this, on the ground,
is huge square stone about eighteen
inches to two feet in height. But it
is not gallows. 1t is simply the
farm "briepaal," or braying poles,
whereon the oxhides are treated and
turned into those remarkably service
able "reims" or strips of leather thong,
which form an indispensable staple of
the outfit of every South African OK
wagon. This is the method of prepar-
ing the ''reims." After the dead oxen
have been skinned the pelts are spread
on the bare ground and allowed to dry
with the under side uppermost to the
scorching hot sun. After some days
preparation of this kind they are
brought by the Kaffir "boys' to the
braying poles. Having been soaked
in. water, or preferably brine and
water, for some little while, and the
hair being still on them, the pelts are
somewhat limp and extraordinarily
elastic. The skin is roughly trimmed
into an oval shape.
The Boer then pulls out sharp
knife, and from the outward edge in
ward commences to cut the skin into
a circular strip of about an inch and
half in width.
AS a rule full-sized oxhide yields
one long continuous strip one and one
half inches in width and seventy yards
in length. A second hide is treated in
exactly the same way, and the two
ends are knotted together with the
particular form of knot known to
sailors, which the more you pull the
tighter it becomes.
The whole length of 140 yards of raw
hide ribbon is then stretched to it's
fullest length. When it is fully
stretched it is looped into a large
hank, which is of the greatest weight

Mrs. Saville is a peculiar looking
drawing room when Barbara enters
with her two cavaliers, and she greets
George rather coldly, turning inmedi-
ately to Barbara.

Immediately after luncheon; it is such
long drive to Barrystown."
Need l go?" asks Barbara, looking
bored.
"My dear, wish it," Mrs Saville
says decidedly, and turns to George.
How is your dear mother? She looked
but poorly. latterly."
81 think she is all right" George re-
plies, standing on the faded hearthrug
in his careless grace.
Altogether the Court and its in
mates are gloomy-all except Barbara,
whose clear young voice rings through
the rooms.
Luncheon Is announced, and Mrs. Sa-
vile rises and puts her jewelled hand
on the arm of George Bouverie.
"You and l will lead the way" she
says, with a slow, unpleasant smile.
Those two young people like to take
care of each other"
AS they pass across the great vault
ed stone hall Mrs Saville looks up at
the golden-haired young man at her
side and whispers:
you must not covet forbidden fruit,
Mr.. Bouverie: and l think, for your
own sake. 1t would be well not to
come too often to the Court. Your
mother knows my wishes for Bar
bara." 81

The island people are afraid of him
and they tell strange stories about
his snakeship. They never trust
themselves near his lair after sunset,
and take particular care that little
children shall not wander into the re-

A few years ago a famous actor was
asked what was the most amusing
thing-not down on the bill-which he
had ever met with in his long theatre
cal, experience. He replied that once
in play in which he appeared an ice
cream freezer, presumably filled with
cream, was among the properties dis
played to the audience. 1t was not
practicable to equip the freezer with
real ice cream, so its place was sup
piled with cotton. One of the actors
had occasion to cross the stage with a
flaming torch, and a spark from the
torch must have fallen into the freezer,
for, to the joy of the audience, which
greeted the casualty with enthusiastic
applause, the ice cream was inconsis-
tent enough to burn up then and there,
thus inflicting serious blow upon the
realism" of the performance.-New

81 understand you. Mrs. Saville," he
says, in very low voice; "but has not
Barbara right to choose?" There is
a passionate pride in the whispered
words.
Barbara must be kept out OF temp
tation." Mrs. Saville rejoins as they
enter the dining room.
But George Bouverie's eyes are full
of triumph, for has not Barbara made
her choice already? He flashes glance
at her as they take their places, and
Barbara's shy, lovely eyes meet his for
brief second.
Everything at the Court is damp and
mouldy. The great dining room has
the atmosphere of vault. A very
small fire burns in the CRATE, and a
seedy-looking butler shambles. round
the table with his satellite, beardless
youth imported from the stables,
breathing hard and walking round on
tiptoe with awful and elaborate care

The dining table is large: but the ,e
is very little on tan alarming ex-
panse Of tablecloth and not much else.
Sebastian, fixing his eyeglass firmly,
gravely carves minute portion off a
joint, SO small it will hardly go round.
The butler very carefully pours out a
very minute portion of sherry into
George Bouverie's glass, while the
scared lad from the stables travels la
boriously round with vegetables.
George does not care about luncheon,
so the scantiness Of the repast does not
affect him. Barbara is sitting oppo-
site, and he can feast his eyes on the
beauty of her face; while Sebastian
unfriendly expression affects him not
at all.

an apology for deserving her guest, for

says gaily, 81 promised my mother to

1t is distinctly annoying, for this

antly; while, with a nod and smile

there called the Ger de lance" or the
snake with the iron lance head. Scien-
lists tell us that 1t belongs to the
rattlesnake family. IL is certainly the
most dreaded, best hated reptile of
the tropical islands which II inhabits.
and the mere mention OF its name Is
sufficient to throw any native COM
munity into spasms of fear, That the
inhabitants of the region 1t infests
have good reason to fear this dread
ophidian may be opined from the fact
that, unlike the other species of the
family to which 1t belongs, this one

abundant Neither is 1t SO sluggish
as it's cousins, being as active and

quiet IL Is always coiled up In atti-
tude OF defense.
Its average length is about five feet,
being less than that OF the northern
rattlesnake. although specimens have
been shown over seven feet in length.
Ii Is, however. very thick through the
body, while its head is broad and tri-
angular, greatly resembling the head
Of lance or spear. to which the ma
tives have aptly likened it. In the is
