Is It not strange that, although the
Transvaal has been conquered by
whites since 1886. the belief in Kaffir
doctors and their wiZarding has not
died out? Nearly every old Kaiiir has
always with him bag Of bones
knucliles and joints of animals. With
these he pretends to be able to fore
tell the future. He throws the do
los" as they are called, and then reads
out the omens. Should n white man
wish to confer with the oracle he must
throw the bones himself. have
known, says Transvaal traveller,
many whites who firmly believe in the
ability of the Katilr doctor to cure
them from sundry Ills, and have
been informed that In Rhodesia the
Kaffir doctors save many whites from
the ravages of the terrible fevers that
rage there in addition to coping sue
cessfully with the toothache and other
Ills.

with fine hands she would take off her
