st. Cecilia.

!. A writer on 81. Ceci4ia says. "It WAS
Nero who had her put to death. Her
head was ordered 10 be cut off. The lic-
tor struck at 1t three times and tailed to
complete his work, only infcting awful
wounds upon her neck. According to
Roman law, If the head was not severed
the victim was considered par,loned. SO
Cecilia remained alive, though cruelty
wounded, tor several days, during which
time she was visited by the faithful, who
came to sootbe her dying hours, and to
dip their linen into her blood, which they
preserved as relics. She fingered three
days, and finally, overcome with pain,
turned her lace toward the ground and
breathed her pure spirit into the bosom
OF her bridegroom. That evening her
sacred remains were placed in q coffin of
cypress wood and buried IN the ceme-
terry of St. Calixtus. Here they were
discovered In the sixteenth century, and
the beautiful statue Of Bernani, now in
the Church Of st. Cecilia, is modelled al
ter the attitude in which the sculptor
found the body. The face is turned to-
the ground, and the hands and the hole
attitude are expressive OF q person who
has fallen suddenly either dead or in n
iaiDt. 1t is by far the finest work OF
sculpture in that century VI decadence

OrrrR HuNrse.- Otter hunting is
crecognized industry on the coast par

Bay the Indians monopolize it, while
;at Gray's Harbor white men take near
ly all the furs. The latter depend en-
tirely on their skill with the rife fol
their success. The offers frequent the
vicinity of the beach for many miles
up and down the coast, but rarely
come in nearer than three hundred
yards. The hunters fix up short lad
,ders at intervals along the beach, OF
sufficient hight that the surface of the
water can be seen from the top OF

ing surf. On one of these tine hunter
will perch himself for hours watching
for the otter, firing at one whenever it
presents itself, be that near or far.
There have been occasional instances
where they have been killed at 500
yards distance. Probably no more
difficult feat of Workmanship exists
than that of killing these animals
while they are swimming. There is
usually heavy swell so that they are
moving up and down with it constant
Ily. This, combined with the motion
of the animal although the water, makes
it an unsteady target. Sometimes a
Hunter will expend month, shooting
every day thirty or forty shots, and
mot kill an otter Again, he will kill
two a day. We believe the average
Is about two a month to each hunIer
Some seasons are better than others.
There have been times when the more
fortunate and skillful marksmen have
killed enough to bring them $500
$4,000 a year each. This is rare.
The furs vary in value, and range
from $50 to $50 each. Until recently,
heavy muzzle-loading guns have been
the favorite weapon, but now the Rem
ington breech-loader is taking their
place. These latter guns are made
according to special order, and weigh
from Is to Is pounds each, or abo2t
twice as much as an ordinary rife.
