PhitadCiDhid Press.
There Is a romance eonnected with
the life of Lucia u uste, the wee speck
Of humanity now on exhibition at the
Museum, which has never been made
public, and which came out yesterday
by the merest accident. The little lady
was looking ont into tine vast sea Of
faces surrounding her elevated platform,
when suddenly she gave little scream,
and, covering her face with pair of
bands about as big as a mans thumb
nail, she began to cry.
When asked for an explanation by
MIR. finer, her manager, she said she
bad seen face which reminded her of
her betroIhed lover, with whom sue
vas obliged TO break her engagement
because Of her dlminutiveness. Ac.
cCrGing to Mexican custom, Lucia
VAS betrothed while in her cradle to the
infant son of wealthy rsnchero. Toe
children grew up together, and at ten
years ola sc the boy was sturdy little
fellow of natural size. Lucia, on the
cdhtTary, was NOT as large as q good
sized doll. She weighed out four pounds,
and her hands were so tiny that each
of them could be covered by a thimble.
IS time wore on it was very evident
that nature had never intended that
-ne should grow like other people, and
at the age OF l6 her parents nearly broke
her little heart by telling her that the
engagement must be broken off. Ii
did seem ridiculous that q specG of hu-
maDity, weighing less than five pounds,
and just tall enough to touch mans
knee, should be engaged to marry
StrsppiDg young fellow of Isl pounds,
hut she stubbOrnly persisted that she
would grow in time, and nearly cried
her eyes out when taksn from home to
make her forget her love. For six year
>he did not see her youthful lover, aud
tad apparently forgotten him, until she

Cutting eff Women, Nose. In 1ndin.

Cutting CIR Women'o Noses In Iudin.
The horrible crime OF mutilating women
by cutting CT their noses is 30 common in
Bombay rs to call for the most stringent
repression, and nothing, We imagine, will
repress It but the free use Of tina lash. In
the Sessions ending yesterday Mr.. Justice
Scott had to hear three-we might say Ave
-of these CAGES, one after the other. He
postponed his sentences for week, and
We were in hopes that he would in each
case order tho criminals tobe aogged within
an ace Of their lives. Eventually, however,
he sentenced them severally to what he
had aecertained to be the usual punish.

gethcr. Surely these arc cases In which
the lash would be at once the MOS! fittir 6
punishment and the best deterrent. n
| Estimated by the misery Inflicted, even
the most ssvere penalties would sasm too
trivial, and II the law docs not permit oil
aegging in the cases Of such cruel musila-
lion, the law should be altered. The mis-.
cradle women who arc mutilated in this
way are, Of course, rendered hidsous ever
aiterwa1d, and, because they are women,
1t 10 simply impossible to calculate the
misery and degradation that they will ex

amount OF imprisonment will eradicate q

l27 miles In length, and would contain
