The South African Boer much resem
bles, our American Apache in hisnbllity
to live on the shadow of things when
in the Held. The Apache has so studied
the csint resources of New .Mexico and
Arizona that when on the warpath or
pursued he is able to sustain life on
what would seem to others as a men;
nothing. Hence his ability to make ex
traordinary marches; to be here to-day
and "00 miles away to-morrow. A
writer of South Africa in a contribu
tion to a London paper calls attention
to the ability of the Boers to live on rn;
tions which an ordinary trooper would
not endure and his capacity to travel
great distances with horse in incred
ibly short time. If he is to light thu
Englishman these qualities will stnml
him in trood need. It is by no menus
certain that England in the end will be
iimvlllinir to make another treaty of
1SS1.
The Boer knows every road and trnll
of the Transvaal; us a hunter he knows
the tievious ways of the wastes beyond.
He is an agriculturist and a hunter. By
the law of self-preservation he hnB
learned the wily ways of the black men
whom he lias displaced iu the Trans
vaal. The secret recesses of the moun
tains are at his command. As a horse
man he much resembles our American
cowboy. He can ride on top of the
saddle, or over the horse's neck, or Cos
sack fashion, with one foot in the stir
rup, one leg on the saddle and his bend
and shoulders on the ground. Bis horse
is part of his family life. The beasts
are very hardy, sure-footed and affec
tionate. Then, too, this Boer is a rifle
shot of wonderful skill. When he was
but a boy in short breeches the ritle
was placed in his hands and he was
