Native brass bands are permitted to dis course sweet music, however, ,and the hlare of the baSSOon, the clash of the cymbaI and the boom of the bass drum still break The stiffness of the Sabbath air.

Tie father of Fanny Hi Loy, t little Chinese girl at San Juan, Is now engaged in cramplng her feet, ac- cording to the custom of her native land, in order to make them conform to the Celestial idea of beautiful pedal eXtremities, al though they are by this process rendered practically worthless t"r walking.

 goes foot-tOrture, and her father is anxious to see Fanny do well in the world. But tOe people of San Juan are shocked at what they call the barbarity of foot cramping, and have resolved to stop it if possible. To this end the district attorney has been re- Quested to commence a pr0secu- tion against Fanny's father, and it is announced the officer will comply with the request. The possibilities of the Fanny Hi Loy case are very large. It may be come as celebrated as the ques- tion of the sacredness of pig tails, and get into the United States courts. We venture the opinion, however, that fOot-t0rture must go, even though the young ladies are thereby debarred from the "best society" and deprived of their chief attraction to the Gel estial dudes.

The oldest newspaper woman in the
country is said to be Mrs. Harriet n.
Prewett, who from 1848 to 1852 was edi-
tor. proprietor, news editor, book keeper
and mailing clerk of the Yazoo CITY
Miss Wing, afterwards the Banner. At
thesam time she kept her own house
and brought up her fatherless children.
Finally her health gave way, and for 20
years she has been a helpless invalid
She, however, continues to exercise her
brain BY composing poems and sketches,
and is fond of talking of the ante-bellum
days of the South, and the great leaders
who then figured in Mississippi. politics.
Her cottage home is compared with that
of Paul H. Hoyne, inasmuch as it is en-
powered in honeysuckle vines and its
walls within are covered with pictures
clipped from the illustrated newspapers
of the past twenty Eve years.

THE DIFFICULTIES IN RAILROAD BUILLING

THE DIFFICULTIES IN RAILROAD BUILLING
ACROSS THE BURNING SANDS OF ALTOONA.
A correspondent saws: Viewed by it.
self the Southern Pacific Railroad is a
miracle of enterprise, daring and persist
ency, and was built in the face of Oh
stacles and disadvantages that would
Rave crushed any but Western spirits.
1t crosses the mountains by the most
wonderful tricks of any engineers audaci-
ty, crossing and re-crossing its own
tracks and curling its iron loops about
the Tehacipi peak until the track lies on
it like a great lariat thrown by Titanic
hands. 1t crosses leagues upon leagues
Of desert that another century will not
see reclaimed from their waste of sands;
stretches through the bed of an ancient
lake where the barometer shows depres-
sion 800 feet below the level of the sea,
and pursues its straight course across the
arid country where dew or rain is seldom
known, and water cannot be found The
road was built in the face of every dis
enlargement, and for months at time
track-laying and work had to be suspend
ed on account of The fierce desert heats
The iron rails and tools became so hot
that they could scarcely be handled.
The men could not endure the exposure
of the scorching sun, and in the land of
the marauding Apaches there were
other perils to be dreaded. Water for
the workmen had to be carried in tank
cars and when the northers and sand
storms swept the deserts the work o days
was leveled and obliterated in a trice.
Although civilization has been carried
into this Sahara, it is only by the rail
road that it exists, although the little
green oasis around each station shows
what is capable of and how the desert
may literally be made to blossom like
the 70 e. The company builds double
rooted houses for its employees to live in,
the second roof being raised on posts
three or four feet above the real covering
of the house walls, in order to admit of
the flee circulation of air and to keep
The direct rays of the sun from striking
the house. The second roof then extends
with long sloping caves almost to the
ground, affording cover and shade all
about the buildings. Other modes of
tropical life are resorted to in order tc
make existence bearable.

THE EFFECT OF BLTZZARDS ON
CATTLE.

I have seen billiards on the plains
that swept through man who was clad
in heavy woolens and fur overgarments
as thong he was dressed in tarlatan. L
have known parties of buffalo hunters,
men used to hardship, and whose stom-
achs were filled with buffalo marrow, and
who were wrapped in blankets and robes,
to freeze to death in their wagons while
endeavoring to escape from the unendur
able icy blasts of an Attic blizzard. Cat
tie, weak and ill-fed on frost bitten grass,
disappear before these storms. They
drift with the wind. As they pass by
the air is filled with the sound of their
mournfuI moaning. They wander stag
geriug over the trackless plains, vainly
endeavoring to find water with which to
quench the intense thirst produced by
exceedingly cold weather The water
holes are frozen, The weaker cattle
drop out of the herd They lie down to
die The snow drifts around them. They
are freezing to death, and are still con-
sumed by raging fever The wolves at
tack them as they lie on the frozen
ground unable to rise, unable to protect
themselves. The cry of despair uttered
by the wretched animals when they real
lie that the horrible death of being eaten
alive by carnivorious animals is their
doom, is an unearthly one. AS the pc
culiar below of an animal when it finds
the scent of the blood of one of its fellows
on the ground excites the herd with the
information, "Here one of us has been
sIain," and renders them unmanageable,
SO does the death cry of feeble cow,fright-
en- the drifting herd. They disappear down
the wind. The wolves close in on the
doomed animal. They struggle desper-
ately to arise. In vain. The hungry
wolves attack her. They tear her open.
They drag her entrails out and devour
them before her eyes. She dies, and the
wolves pick her bones and then gallop
after the herd.-NeU York Sun.

Over the face was II handkerchief. Around
