Women Of the TransvaaI.

The average Boer is big. brawny and
strong, rudy checked and wholesome
yet never handsome. The women, as
a rule. do not approach the fresh and
simple beauty seen in the north OF
Europe Here and there throughout
the Transvaal you win find a hand
some Dutch girl. but not often Their
dress, usually Of some cheap print, and
the hideous poke bonnet. so universal
do not add to their attractions.
They are curiously afraid of expos
ing their compilations to the sun, and
are often pale and pasty in appear
ance. It is q curious thing to see how
carefully a Boer woman Will shade hei
face, and even keep her hands beneath
her apron when in the sun.
Yet, on the whole, the women Of the
Transvaal are not mattractive-when
you get used to them.

GETTING Rich Fast.

The money placed IN the banks OF
California by depositors for safe keep.

$4,000 q day, including Sundays and

$50000.000 in round figures. That rate
Of increase in the Judgment of the
bank commissioners is continuing.
This astonishing fact will be stated in
the forthcoming report Of the bank
commissioners, which will probably be
in print next month. The conditions
ander which an increase Of $50, 600 .0O0
in the bank deposits in California has
been effected are sufficiently unique TO
deserve passing notice at least. The
people of tho state have had two dry
wears to contend with and the fnan.
clal depression of 1893 has affected
conditions appreciably during the per.

has been steady. The hank commits.
