The Anaheim branch of the Southern
Pacific railroad is now finished to Santa
Anna, thirty-tour miles in a direct line
from Los Angeles. The ultimate termi-
nation of this branch of the Southern
Pacific will, in all probability, be San
Diego. s4 a:a ,~
The long continued strike of the
London masons will probably cause a
return to stuccoed house fronts, which
were giving place to those of stone.
Tenders. are now made leasing out stone

In northern China people of all ages
are dying Of actual starvation by thou
sands. The famine extends over
district which includes at least 5000
villages, and it is said that at least five
hundred die daily. Houses are pulled
down in every village to sell the timber
and thatch in order to get food. Those
who can get husks and dry leaves,
ordinarily used for fuel, are considered
well Oh. M st of the poor young girls
have been cold; old men, middle aged
men and young men and children die
daily OF sheer starvation, and others
freeze. The dead can not get burial;
they are too many, and none can afford
the expense; 50 they are cast daily into
large pits. The people al Shansi are
said to be living on the corpses of their
fellow beings who die OF starvation. And
the strong are killing the weak for the
sake OF obtaining their flesh for food.

A doctor came forward, the unconscious
man was placed on shutter and carried
into an adjoining room His wound was
dressed, and as it was not very serious,
he was soon able to stand. He appeared
to be little out of his head, talked wildly
about his wife, and did not seem to be
able to walk straight. He said he was
going home. The doctors thought it the
best thing he could do, so they put him
In an open carriage, never dreaming, but
that his home was somewhere up towr.
Then having done their. duty they
thought no more about it.
The next day at twilight man came
slowly up from the village of n tax
ing the way to the Grey Cottage He
seemed rather undecided which way to 60,
but he finally reached the little wooden
gate opened it and walked up the
narrow path. His face was deadly
pale, and as he staggered to the vine
covered porch, he saw baby-boy sitting
on the step. He did not see the soft.
curly hair so like his own, the be au tifll
grey eyes SO like Marian's. He asked
him weakly if there was any one at
home. The BOY stared at him, said he
would 60 tell mamma, and toddl ed in.
Amaid came outand asked him sharply
what he wanted Il wish to see Miss
Grey" be said, family. "Miss Grey:
she's dead and buried this long time"
answered the girl; thinking he meant
the spinster But I'll tell my mistress
to step out. Come in sir, won't you 90
" Marian dead my wife it is rot so
she has not forgiven me Dead '' and he
gave hollow laugh, reeled against the
door, and fell dead in the hall, the pur-
pie blood staining the white floor, his
hands clutching convulsively,
A door opened, a light form came along
the hall leading the little baby boy.
" Be quiet Eddie" she said, " somebody
wants to see mamma, never dreaming
who the somebody was. The servant in
the dining-room, brushing up the
crumbs, heard piercing scream, and
rushing out saw her mistress kneeling on
the floor beside corpse, her hands and
drtss stained with blood-r',cking too
and fro crying, go, my boy! My boy!
Papa has come! Ed. has come home at
lastn'
eyes he had come home to die;
without the longed-for forgiveness, with
out knowing he was loved, without
recognizing his little son who lived to
be the consoler of his mother. His
lamp had gone out and left him in utter
darkness. Youth, beauty, riches, had
been his, but happiness took unto herself
wings and flew away.

How the Turks Use American
Rifles.

The Russian Invalide, discussing the
Turki7h tactics, remarks that the sue
cesslul local defense of positions which
the Turks have been able to carry out
during the present campaign is to be
mainly attributed TO the use they made
of their rapid-fring rifles, and to the
manner in which they artifcially
strengthened the ground they held.
As rule, the Turks opened heavy
and sustained fire upon an assaulting
column at a distance Of 1000 yards, and
thus inflicted great loss upon the men
advancing to the attack, until these
latter arrived within about six hundred
yards Of the position, after which time
the greater number of projectiles passed
over the heads Of the aSailants. To
provide for the maintenance of this fire
large boxes of cartridges were kept in
convenient places in all the Turkish
entertainments, in addition to the large
supply Of ammunition issued to the men
and, similarly, when the Turks issued
from tLeir trenches to counter attack.
they were followed by men carrying
boxes of cartridges. During the last
ATTACK upon Plevna it is estimated that
the men who opposed General Skobeleff's
onslaught must have fired between four
hundred and five hundred rounds each,
and in the immediate neighborhood of
some of the isolated killed remaining on
the battlefield of the Goth of August
more than one hundred and twenty
empty cartridge-cases were found. The
works constructed by the Turks for the
defense of their positions usually consist,
in the first place, of strips of simple |
shelter trench to cover their skirmishers.
These are gradually deepened and en-
larged until they come to assume a
formidable profile. Traverses: generally
hollow, are next thrown up, to protect
the defenders against enflade or reverse
fire; and finally bomb-proof accommoda
tion for the men, secure magazines for
the ammunition, and convenient stowage
for food and water are provided.-PaU
