RIVALS OF AMERICAN GIRLS
Are Growing Up In the TransvaaI and
will be Dangerous.

The day Of the South African girl
has hardly arrived yet; but when 1t
comes, says writer in the Queen. let
Americans see to their laurels, for
they will have dangerous competi-
tors In the field.
The Dutch women of tse Transvaal
are tall and splendldly developed, and
there are the two distinct types, the
purely Dutch with golden brown hair,
gray or hazel eyes and creamy skin
and the brunette of French descent
with dark eyes and hair and rich
dark coloring But both types are
on larger scale than their European
antecedents. The sun of South Af-
rica is a great vitalizer, and the
children Of that land OF vast spaces
have more room to grow and develop
in, and they lead from their infancy
such an out OF doors life that they
are bound TO be an Improvement
physically on their sisters OF the
northern hemisphere.
Dutch women OF South Africa al
ways accompanied their husbands in
their large booded slow moving wag-

THE BOY WHO GOES TO COLLEGE

It is a wibe parent who accompanies
the son to college, providing he is a
mere youth and goes to a distant city.
Either the father or mother should
go and see that he is comfortably
roomed and has the room in habitable
condition before leaving. The young
boy is liable to overlook everything
really beneficial for him. The lights
may be poorly placed, the room on
the dark side never entered by sun
shine and there may be absolutely no
place to hold his clothing. save his
own trunk or cheap chiffonier. First
of all. there should be a study table
with a low lamp. covered with a
green slade. This can be students
lamp, drop electric light or gas lamp,
though the shade is most essential.
There should be shelf for books. q
handy place for shoes and a few good
pictures to brighten the walls. Every
college boy should be provided with
a good, dark bathrobe, his own towels
and bathroom rug. Never permit
him TO use such belongings of 9TH
ers. A couch is as greatly needed In
d boys room as that OF girl, and is
appreciated. Such articles as the
laundry bag, the bachelors needle
book and large pincushion are neces-
saIy. II he boards at the college, all
articles such as dresser scarfs and the
like must be his personal belongings.
You know your own boy better than
anyone, and 1t is quite probable he
will make known his numerous wants
for his own comfort II you go with
him to prepare his room. II is best
he should have his own room. too.
One mother who deplored the loss OF
her only son and heir. attributes his
death to the fact he roomed for three
years In a dark room previously oc-
cupied by consumptiye. After grad
uating at college, the lad died of con-
sumption. So II Is more for the
health of your boy that you want to
30 and see where he will make his
future home. for the chances are he
will find his own pleasures and be
happy even II his room Is not arrang-
ed in style to suit royal prince,
though boys show fondness for
dainty rooms that amounts to craze
at times. and 1t is Just as well to en-
courage the love for their own per-
sonal belongings.

Stone Carriers OF India,

Recently an interesting water Inn
pounding scheme has been carried to
successful completion in southern
India at the Mari-Kanave gorge upon
the Vedarati River In Mysore state.
When CONSTITUTIONAL work was In
full swing more than 5000 natives
were employed and the undertaking
offered a novel and interesting ex-
ample of the cheapness OF manual la
Dor as compared with the mechanical
appliances.
In India there exists a class of la
morers generally described as now
gunnies," or professional stone car
riers, who, owing 10 their capacity for
hard work, are In great demand for
such enterprises as this. They are
of powerful physique and possess con-
siderable stamina. They will work
for ten hours a day and transport
from 20 to $50 pounds of stone a
man. They form gangs according to
the character of the work in hand,
ranging from two, four, eight, twelve
to sixteen men unit.
Although such transportation seems
somewhat slow in comparison with
the possibilities of handling plants,
yet they prosecute their task very
energetically and the scale of pay,
ranging from 10 to 16 cents man
day, is so low as to render such la
Dor far cheaper than mechanical
transport. Indeed, a complete in
stallation of the latter was laid down
a cable being stretched across the
gorge over the site, bringing the
stone direct from the quarries on the
hillsides to the site ready for setting,
but this had to be abandoned owing
to its being far more expensive than
the "nowgunny" labor.
These men carried the masonry from
the end of the railroad track connect
ing the site of the barrage with the
quarries to its destination and placed
It in Scientific American.

Letter Writing and Neatness.

In these days, when 1t is the thing
either to use fiat topped writing
tables or TO keep the lid of the desk
down most OF the time. 1t behoovea
the careful housekeeper to answer
her letters promptly. Otherwise a
Uttered desk is unavoidable.
System in correspondence Is the
only way this can be managed. AS
soon as a letter arrives open 1t care
fully-a torn envelope is far from
sightly-and IL it is of no particular
Importance and does not require a
reply, destroy 1t at once.
Separate your business letters, in
yitations and correspondence into
three piles and have a pigeon hole
for each. Keep them there until an
swered; then If you wish to save
them file them under the name of the
sender In one of the alphabeted box
es that come for the purpose.
II this is not done 1t is senseless to
keep letters. as they never can be
found when wanted and make the
drawers OF desk Cutlery. Keep the
file in closet in the same room as
the desk. or II there is none. stow
1t away In the lowest drawer, out OF
the road.
Letters that require an answer the
same day should be put under a
weight in conspicuous spot, where
they will not slip from the memory.
Safer yet is 1t to answer them at
once. even when you think you have
no time. You can usually manage II
somehow. And 1t means much for
the busy woman not to have her mind
burdened with trihing duties.
Writing paper and envelopes should
have their special place. On nat
topped desk this should be In one of
the racks that come for the purpose
In leather, burnt wood or brass. They
may be bought rather reasonably and

are a big factor in neat desk.

In compartment desks have special
places for the paper and others for
the envelopes. On account of dust,
but a small supply OF each should be
kept out at once If the compartments
are uncovered.
Stamps, pens and pencils should
have their own hooks and be kept In
them. Nothing is more untidy than
an indiscriminate mess of writing
utensils loose on a desk. One of the
little boxes divided into three sections
to hold stamps, elastics and pens are
useful in preserving neatness.

GOWNS RUINED BY NEGLECT.

The gowns OF the careless woman
are more often injured by neglect
than by wear. To take off a gown
and toss 1t on chair TO lie there till
morning is to make II mass CT
wrinkles. To hang II in a crowded
closet, on one hook, is also to crush
and muss II.
Skirts should be hclg on hangers.
These support the sides evenly and
the material is not drawn out of
shape, as 1t is when hung by the usu-
al loops supplied by the dressmaker
Delicately colored gowns may be ell
closed in bags of glazed muslin, blue
by preference. These should hang
from the hanger, and may be opened
down one side and buttoned over for
convenience in removing the skirt
and putting 1t back.
Another way is to get few yards
Of silkolino or other light, cheap ma
terial, make large square of it, cut
a place In the center to admit the
hook of the hanger, bind the edge of
the opening and slip 1t on over the
skirt. This, being light and soft,
does not crush the gown while pro-
tecting II from dust.
Trfncess gowns should never be
hung. Keep them in boxes. They
get stringy If hung up.
Opera coats should be hung on
shoundel hangers; these may be pad
ded, covered with ribbon and per-
fumed with sachet NSmall sachet
bags hung in the dress bags or the
silkoline squares gives a fragrance
to the skirts.
A pole set across one end of a
closet, high enough so that skirts
swing clear, will be found more
convenient support for the hangers
than hooks on the sides of the closet;
1t Is also more commodious.
Shirtwaist boxes are almost indis-
pensable for cotton waists, which
may be laid one upon another with
out injury. Lace waists should be
stuffed with tissue paper and laid In
boxes; silk waists may be kept on
padded hangers and enclosed in bags.
Silkoline covers made as for skirts,
only smaller, are nice for them.
All this looks like too much trou-
BILE" to the average woman, who
thinks she does her duty by her best
gown II she hangs 1t up and covers
1t with an old sheet. the care, how
ever, is an essential part OF being
well dressed, for no matter how hand
some the costume, IL 1t looks mussed
1t has no style. Once the bags or
covers and the hangers are made
there is no further trouble or ex-
pense; there is merely the need to
cultivate the habit of using them at
the proper time. TOO tired" is no
excuse for throwing a tailored skirt
on chair till morning, even If it
does need brushing and cleaning be-
fore being put away. Hang II up.
A waist, however, should be allowed
to air before being enclosed In box
or bag, especially II moist with per-
spiration.

to carelessness d habits and dress.
but 1t developed In them an infinite
capacity for persevering effort, a
strength Of character, a stubbornness,
as we'll as great vitality, all of which
excellent qualities go to the making
of a strong nation.
The present generation can be di-
vided into two distinct classes, the
inhabitants of the weld and those OF
the towns and villages. and while the
fundamental characteristics are the
same-grit. tenacity, level-headed-
ness, independence there is a
wide difference between the Boer wo-
man of the country and the educat-
ed Dutch woman OF the towns.
The former on reaching the age Of
30 are large, fat and heavy. They
marry very young and have patri-
archial families. and over husband
and children they WELD a great sway,
an influence very much greater than
that of the English woman.
To a stranger the Boer vrouw ap-
pears stupid and silent; she shuts
her mouth determinedly and sits
stolidly through HIS visit but In
reality she is taking detailed mem-
orandum of his appearance. ways,
and manners and nothing escapes her
notice. II she is persuaded of his
friendliness and good intentions she
may relax little. but the Dutch new
er by any chance tell you anything
more than they wish you to know.
The Boer women have always been
accustomed to a good supply of Fa-
FIR servants on their farms and they
are not quite the energetic house
wives one imagines but they gener-
ally prevail on their servants to get
the work done to their satisfaction
and there is one branch of house
wifery in which they excel-the max
ing of "komfyt" or preserves, wheth-
er iam-making of the ordinary kind
or a more elaborate method of pre-
serving the delicious fruit of the land.
Wide as the poles asunder are the
educated Dutch women of the towns
Or those indeed of the country who
have been sent to Cape Colony or TO
Europe to school. AS adaptable as
the Americans, with decided mental
ability, they are full OF common
sense, of good tempered gayety and
an inherent sense of savoir vivre.
A girl who has been to a good school
in South Africa and afterwards in
Europe has something most charm
ing and fascinating about her. Hand
some, vivacious, capable, with clear
idea of what she wants and how to
get 1t, she carves pleasant and use
full way for herself through life.
Her out of doors life has made her
strong and healthy and she sees the
advantage of certain amount OF ex-
ercise. Since the war, II not before,
she has taken great interest in poll
tics as we'll as in the work OF her
father or husband and in philap-
thropical matters she displays strong
organizing ability. She has not yet
developed the female bachelor" ways
of Independent English womanhood,
for in South Africa in every colony
there is a large surplus of men and
the Dutch girl invariably marries
young and rules husband and family
ever af:er.
