0OD NAMES OF KAFIR "B0YS"
Varied and Ingenious Appellationr
Taken by Those -Mfho Do ~oomes-
tic Work FOR The Whites.

Most of the domestic" work in
South Africa is done by the Kafrs,
who are called "boys," no matter
what their age may be.
When the Kair boys come from
the kraals no one ever uses their ma
tive names. As soon as they are
brought into contact with the whites
they take white name. This pro-
duces results not lacking in the ele-
ments of humor.
Among the house boys ''Knife," :"
''Fork' and "Spoon" are common
names. "Table," "Chair," Gar
riage," 'Watch" and "Matchbox''
are others more infrequently used.
There is of record one boy who took
the utilitarian name of Ham and
Eggs
The Kafrs are very fond of rice
when they learn to eat it among the
whites, and one stable boy thought
he had found the finest name in the
world in ''Rice."
In some respects the Kafrs are
the cleanest people in the world.
They are forever scrubbing them
selves in hot water and amounting
themselves with oil afterward. But
the habit does not extend to their
clothes. They will take an elaborate
bath and then don clothes that never
saw the washtub.
