IN THE TRANSVAAL.
Returned Englishwoman's Opinion OF
South African Beers.

An Englishwoman who spent many
years in South Africa among the Beers,
has written an article for Frank LeSiie's
Popular Monthly. Although the matter is
interesting it must be remembered that it
is from a British source. and maybe some
what colored. The writer says:
Since my return to civilized lands l
have found that the general impression
with regard to the South African Boer is
that he is much maligned and abused

asks to be let alone to enjoy the fruits OF
his labor, and sit with his 'vrouw en- kim
ders" beneath his own vine and fig tree.
This picture, | regret to say, Is far from
portraying the real character of the Beers
as a class; naturally here and there may
be found a shining exception. but taken
as a whole, the Boer race, both men and
women, are as unsavory a crew in manners
and morals as it has been my misfortune
to meet in Africa, Europe, or America. /

Dutch church once in three months, the
village would be full of Beers from the
outlying farms, who drove in and stayed
several days in the small houses OF the
village-men, women and children herded
together like sheep in n pen.
Almost the first thing TO do on entering
town, after first 'outspanning' the horses
was to visit the doctor for some real or

them a pleasing dissipation. and the nastier

complacency: and, indeed, if the patient

the doctor will be taken in many cases. with
the idea that it is impossible to have too
much of good thing.
There is also fearful JOY in gazing

Always upon Naachtmaal days, before
