The Fascinating Zulu Maiden.

One morning got into railway train
running for about dozen miles through
succession of sugar plantations My
idea was to see the country and the people
In a more leisurely way than could have
done had l travelled by a swifter convey
ance. We stopped at most of the cross
roads and picked up varied assortment
of native types that soon made the train
look like an anthropological section in the
Berlin museum. 1t was something OF q
shock at first to see young ladies step
aboard dressed i'm nothing TO speak of be-
yond their magnificent skins of chocolate
bronze, but "a more modest and well be-
haved menagerie cannot be conceived.
There was market for Cape gooseber-
ries Mt the end of this railway, and the oc-
casion was evidently one for social display,
for there was considerable coquetry shown
in the matter OF hairdressing and arrange
ment of beads. One Zulu maiden fasci-
mated me by n headdress which reached
out behind something like vast kinky
marline spike. This conical chignon was
at least two feet in extent, and gave her
great satisfaction. It excited more envy
than If she had worn ducal coronet. She
allowed me TO photograph her subsequent
ly, with the result that she became even
more naughty toward her undraped
friends. - white Mans Africa" by

that the bottom has Been reached .nand
that all kinds of reliable investment Sc
curities are now at their lowest point.
Interest rates are tending downward, re-

noticeable will be the renewed activity in
