Blmmoni friends have just received an fciterestins; letter from Mrs. Harry V. Gill, who for the last yesr has been at Grmlnton, Transvaal. 6-uth Africa. Mr. Gill, who was formerly superintendent of the Chopin Co., plant In Hammond la now In chary of the erection of a factory at Gemiiaton. Mra. Gill finda Ufa much different there than In America. don't know what theee people over here would do without the native, for they do all the work." he aaye. "Th white people do -very little, work.

Practically everything that is worth while, though comes from America, in fact, about ninety per cent of the (roods en the market. Nearly all motor cr are of American manufacture, even the little Fords are seen In abundance. "VJoney is very plentiful here." she says. '"Judfrine; from the prices of the cars. Nearly every other person has one. Ford cars sell at $1,500 and others' accordingly." The seasons in South Africa are. of course. Just the reverse of the United

Continuing on the subject rf the Kafflra. Mrs. GUI writes: "They are much like our southern negroes used V 6 I am the "Missus" and Harry Is tha "Boss" whenever they address us In Johannesburg; a Kaffir is not allowed to walk on the sidemalk. The Kaffir women all carry their pickaninnies on their, backs and you would laugh to see the way the raw Kaffirs dress. "Some of them who have Just come down from Saslland and Zululand have never been accustomed to seeing people with clothes on snd they put on anything they can get hold of. On day last summer one of the mine boys had en a pair of corsets upside down, a shawl around his legs and carried a small broken umbrella. They all wear bangles around their ankles. The railway stations are the places to sen the comical sights as there are always crowd of them shifting from one plac to another. They wear blankets err similar to our Indians and the most oomlcal hat. "They work very cheaply and live, upon mealie meal, that Is why every

one out here has servants. They get aout tt .50 per week in the mines and of course they do all the underground work Kadi of the gold mine has Its vomponndi end hundreds of them live there. There are many coolie natWes of India) In this country, but of course, they are far ahead of the native Kaffir. " Johannesburg 1 quite n American

Mrs. Gill considers the climate ideal.

The Kaffirs all talk ! The rains all come in the summer

The temperature seldom falls below freezing and there are fruits and flowers the yea r- round . "J don't like Christmas here," she wrttea. "as It is the hottest part of the year and the turkey and plum ruddlng seem very much out of place, but they a'ways have them Just the same." irtpeaking of Mr. Gill's work she says the work on the new factory Is progressing rapidly and it was hoped

to have it running in July. "He likes

if very much here." she says, "and Is learning to talk all the Kaffir langauges, much to my disgust, for I don't like to hear them speak. It Is of cour? very necesary for him to know them as he will employ quite a number, in fact he has many of them working for him now. They have a fine building and are Installing the
