How Kaffirs Bank Their Money.
The natives of that part of South
Africa which to a great extent is in
habited by Bushmen and Hottentots
have a peculiar system of banks and
banking.
These Kaffirs, among whom this
curious system of banking obtains,
live near Kaffrarla, In the south of the
Colony country. The natives come
down from their pountry to trade
in the several villages and towns in
large numbers, stay with the Boers for
a time, then return to Kaffraria.
Their banking facilities are very
primitive, and consist entirely of banks
of deposit alone, without banks of dis
count or issue, and they have no
checks. But still they enjoy banking
privileges, such as they are.
From those who trade, of their own
number, they select one, who for the
occasion is to be their banker. He is
converted into a bank of deposit by
putting all the money of those whose
banker he is into a bag, and then they
sally forth to the stores to buy what
ever they want.
When an article is purchased by any
of those who are in this banking ar
rangement the price of the" article is
taken by the banker from the deposit
money bag, cotinted several times and
then paid to the seller of the article,
after which all the bank depositors
cry out to the banker in the presence
of two’ witnesses selected:
“You owe me so much!” This is then
repeated by the witnesses. The gen
eral accounting comes between the
banker and his several depositors,
when all desired purchases have been
made, after which all the natives de
part for their northern wilds.—Tit-Bits.
He Had Married Money.
“Glad to see you looking so well, old
man,” said the friend of a newly mar
ried benedict. “This is the first oppor
tunity 1 have had of offering my con
gratulations on your recent marriage.
From the look of things I guess you've
married money. Well, it was the right
thing to do. That floor walking berth
of yours must have been awfully bor
ing. Is she in? I should like to be in
troduced.”
“Oh, she’s at work,” said the hus
band, with a placid smile.
“At work! What do you mean?”
asked the friend.
“Well, you see, it was this way,” re
plied the benedict. “She had a much
better position than mine. Head of
tier department. Forty dollars a week.
Wouldn’t give it up. So there was
nothing for it but for me to retire from
business and keep house and here I
am, you see. You have to let women
have their way in some things.”—St.
Louis Republic.

flood Name for the Dos,
A boj's fishing rod was fastened to
the root of a tree on the river bank,
and he was sitting in the sun playing
with his dog, idling the time away. He
had been fishing all day and caught
absolutely nothing.
"Fishing?” inquired the man passing.
“Yes,” answered the boy.
“Nice dog you have there; what is
his name?”
“ ‘Fish,’ ” replied the boy.
“Fish? That’s a queer name for a
dog. What do you call him that for?”
“ ’Cause he won’t bite.”
Then the man proceeded on his way,

“Enclosed please find SI.OO for two

“She is,” exclaimed Winfred, with

forth, she would speak to her and kiss
her, but that was all.—Detroit Jour

r SOAP ♦
And a single anointing with CUTICURA,
purest of emollients and greatest of skin cures.
This is the purest, sweetest, most speedy, per
manent, and economical treatment for torturing,
disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding, scaly,
crusted, and pimply skin and scalp humors with
loss of hair, of infants and children, and is sure
to succeed when all other remedies fail.
Millions of V/omen Use Cuticura Soap
Exclusively for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the
scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for soften"
ing, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore hands, in the form, of baths for
annoying irritations, inflammations, and chafings, or too free or offensive per
spiration, in the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative
antiseptic; purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, and especially
mothers, and for all the purposes of th© toilet, bath, and nursery. No amount of
persuasion can induce thoso who have once used it to use any other, especially for
preserving and purifying the skin, scalp, and hair of infants and children. Cuti
cura Soap combines delicate emollient properties derived from Cuticura, the great
skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients and the most refreshing of flower
odors. No other medicated or toilet soap ever compounded is to be compared with
it for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and bands. No
other foreign or domestic toilet soap, ho ./ever expensive, is to be compared with it
for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it combines in Onb
Soap at One Price, viz., Twenty-five Cents, the EKSTskin and complexion soap,
the best toilet soap and best baby soap jn the world.
