little consolation to know that the
wounds were humane in the ex-

was very little hemorrhage. SO that
the number of men totnlly disabled

SERVANTS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Only People of Wealth Can Afford to
Keep Them.

Only rich people can afford to keep
white servants in south Africa. All
ordinary folk have perforce to be con-
tent with the we'll meant, if occasion
ally rather casual, ministration of the
native house boy.
A boy may be any age from IA to
40; but If he is very young he Is al.
ways called an "umbaan." The best of
all servants is Zulu, especially if he
be raw, that is, fresh from his native
kraal and totally unspoiled by the
wiles of civilization. Such boy is
honest, SOBER quick, clean, and anX-
ious to learn the ways Of the "umluh-
gu or white man.
He soon becomes as deft as an Eng
lish butler and as handy as the ideal
housemaid. He does everything, from
cooking to answering the door, and
after a little pr;.ctice he does it well
too. His knowledge of English at first
is scanty, but he soon picks up a few
words and mixes up Katlir, Dutch.
and English in a quaint polyglot dla-
lect.
In Natal it is considered bad to per-
NIT Zulu servant to speak English;
the "baas" or the "inkossigaas' (mis-

what passes for that, and is some
times known as Kitchen Katir.'
Some queer sentences are often heard
in this tongue. For instance, the haas
will say, John! voetzak inyama. Let
te pudding" which is a compound OF
Dutch. Zulu, and English, and means,
Take away the meat and bring the

the hoys make funny mistakes. A lady
once had a good but raw boy who did
not understand the etiquette of visit
ing cards. Three visitors called. Two
of them gave the boy their cards; the
third did not happen to have one with
her. The boy ushered the first two in
to the drawing room, hut kept the
third waiting in the hall. saying:
1.-TWO misses got ticket: you no got
ticket you wait outside
The boys have all manner of strange
names. which they mostly give them
selves. They are usually chosen from
some one or other of the words that
they hear often used, such as Six
pence "Tickeyh three penny piecel.
Shilling, Breakfast, Kettle silly Fool.
Ugly, Pint Pot, Scrubber, Chopper. or
WHISKY. ~ DOy WIS CLCe NaiiC'i D"'l
because he was fond Of beer and used
to work at the Sheba.
OF course, among themselves they
always have their own tribal names,
but they never use them in white
mems houses, and If one of the afore-
mentioned common objects are chosen
as appellations then they are usually
Jim, Charley, or John. The boys have
wonderful knack Of christening
their masters by some native name in
their own language always denotins
some physical popularity or trick or
manner. For instance, they viii call
man "Ubomvn" because he has red
face; or "Indevan' because he has a
curly head of hair, or "Butshelzi' be.
cause he is slippery.
When they speak English they are
ant to confuse the sounds of "l and
"r," and this sometimes produces COM
ic results. Instead of boy saying
breakfast is ready, bans,' he says
something like "Black-fac lady
