Origin OF "GraSs" Widow

'Why should Il woman separated
from her husband be called grass
widow?' asked young man of the
antiquary. "The term grass widow"
the latter answered, "has nothing to
do with the heritage on our lawns
Grass is a misspelling, sanctioned by
custom, of grace In the past, when
divorces were rare a woman separated
legally from her husband was called a
'viduca de gratia by the Roman
church, and the French called her a
'veuve de grace The meaning of both
terms is the Same-'widow by grace
We took the 'veuve' from the French
and translated it properly into widow
but the grace we Incorporated into
our language, misspelling it in the
process You would be technically cor
rect in writing grace instead of
grass widow, but it is probable that
no one would understand what YOU
meant. "-Philadelphia Record.

The Sacred Scarab.

The sacred scarabpus was for many
centuries venerated by ancient Egyp-

tots and akin to that of the holy cricket
of Madagascar.
In explanation of this Thespesion
said, 1.-THE Egyptians do not venture to
give form to their gods; theysuse SYM
bOls of occult meaning" A black and a
golden green beetle were both regard
ed as emblems of Ra, the sun god; Of
Ptah. the creative power, and of re-
birth, resurrection and immortality.
Every beetle was held to be male and
self produced. Its thirty toes symbol
lied the days of a month, and the pei
let of dung in which it rolled along its
eggs was a type of the movements Of
the sun.
In ancient Egyptian philosophy the
sacred scarab is spoken of as the first
living creature that sprang from the
mud of the subsiding Nile. 1t was
closely connected with astronomy and
used as an amulet of sovereign virtue
for the living and the dead.

Some curious statistics have been
published upon what an insurance ac-
tuary would describe as the "eXpecta-
ton of life" in animals. Among the
larger species of cattle there is some
approach to uniformity. Thus for the
horse and the ass the extreme limit is
about thirty-five years and for horned
cattle about thirty For the dog it is
given as twenty-five, while sheep.
goats, pigs and cats are grouped at fit
teen. But there are stranger dispari-
ties among birds. While goose may
live thirty years, a sparrow twenty
five and a crow rs many as 1OO ducks,
poultry and turkeys die of old age at
twelve years. The palm for longevity
is divided between elephant and par
rot. Both pass the century.

BOER ADJUSTMENTS.
Among Them Are Pole Climbing. Ak
Throwing and Spade Racing.

The Boer is a firm believer in the
advantage of exercise, though his ways
are not ours. One favOrite form is
pole climbing. This consists of hay
ing one arm tied behind the back and
swarming to the top Of the pole with
the aid of to legs and the free arm.
1t sounds simple, but it is not half so
simple as it seems.
Another exercise is throwing the
Ratchet, or AK, to be more correct. An
ordinary wood chopping ak is used for
this. This is swung round the head
until it reaches sufficient momentum,
when it is released. The man who
throws the farthest does rot of necessi-
ty win, as it is necessary that the blade
should bury itself in the earth on
reaching it's destination. 1t requires Il
considerable amount of skill to accom-
plish this.
Another kind of amusement is spade
racing. The men stand with one foot
on either side of an ordinary spade,
grasping the top of the handle between
the hands. At the signal they start
forward by series of jumps. If a
mans foot leaves it's proper place he
is disqualified. There is no more Sc
we're strain on the muscles of the leg
than this. The distance for such a
race as this is generally twenty PAGES.
The Boer is gifted with wonderful
endurance. At long distances he could
hold his own with any, but he would
not stand any chance with our men at
sprint racing, as he lacks the necessary

A TRICK OF HAYDN,
The Note That Mozart Thought 1t
Was Impossible to Play.


Haydn and Mozart were great
friends. When either had composed a
masterpiece the other was invited to
the house of the composer to enjoy the
first sweetness. 1t CHANGED to be
uaydn's turn, and Mozart came full of
expectation. Contrary to custom, Haydn
invited his guest to give his interpreted
ton of the theme instead of playing it
over himself. Much pleased at the COM
pliment, Mozart played brilliantly, for
the work was beautiful and his musi-
clans soul was stirred
Suddenly he halted and looked across
the piano at his friend
''There's mistake here" he said. "a
passage written for three hands would
be impossible for soloist. OF course
those notes must come OUT
"Oh,' said Haydn quietly, Il can
play it,
Mozart laughed.
"My friend, you have not three
hands"
"Perhaps not" answered Haydn.
"Nevertheless l contend that l can
play the passage. l would not have
written it otherwise"
"a challenger cried Mozart. "PrOve
your word" And he yielded his place
at the piano.
His excitement rose as Haydn reach
ed the disputed passage, when, to his
amazement, the composer brought his
nose to the keyboard, and the notes
rang out clear and true.
