MISS TuNIsoN AT WORK.

She never requires the assistance of
anybody, and all the work she turns
out is done strictly by herself.
When Miss Tunison is at work she is
seated in chair which has been spe-
cially made for her. From the arm of
the chair rises a metal rod which sup
ports a small wooden table, and it is
upon the table that all the work is
done.
In spite of her affliction, Fannie al
ways has cheerful word for visitors.
Indeed, it is her greatest pleasure to re-
ceive company, and she is never so
happy as when she can show off her
wonderful powers.
In appearance Fannie differs some
what from the ordinary mortal. Ow-
ing to the excessive use of her tongue,
the muscles of the neck are extremely
well developed and stand out thick and
prominent. Her eyes, too, have a
languid look about them and roll, when
she speaks, in a peculiar manner. Her
speech is thick and heavy, no doubt
due to the excessive size of her tongue.
The way in which she threads needle
Is peculiar. She first holds the needle
in her teeth for the purpose of planting
it firmly in the wooden table before
her. She then takes up the cotton, bit
ing it off the length she requires. The
next step is to hold the cotton with her
lips, which she screws up in peculiar
manner. Then in n trice, before one
can say Jack Robinson" she takes
aim at the eye of the needle before
her, and ten chapGes 10 one, the needle
is threaded.

Fire In HuntersvliIe.

Last night about $50 o'clock as the
family of Mr.. j. r. Brammew, who
lives on Church street. near Princess
Anne avenue. was at tea, their atten-
tion was attracted by the smell of
smoke, and upon investigation it was
found that the front room OF the house
was in bright blaze. 1t appears that
Mrs. Brammew, after making the fire
in the front room, placed a paper in
front of the crate, in order to make
the fire burn quickly. She was called
to the supper table, and left the paper,
with the intention of returning to take
it down. but before she could return,
the paper ignited and fell OH the floor,
thus setting fire to the rug and mantle
scarf Mrs. Brammew in attempting
to put out the blaze had her right hand
badly burned. The only loss is the
damaging of a rug valued at $35. The
fire was eXtinguished without aid of
the fire department..

Workmen engaged in cutting streets
through the breastworks at Sewalls
Point have unearthed about two hun
dred cannon balls and unexploded
shells and many broken shells that
were fired at this fertilization during
the civil war.
These were found in cutting out
Ninety ninth and Ninety seventh
streets through the breastworks in the
course of the extensive improvements
now in progress at Sewalrs Point. The
breastworl1s appear to be honeycombed
with the missiles that must have rained
down in an iron hail.
In conversation with a Virginian-
Pilot reporter last night Mr.. David
I4owenberg, president of the Norfolk
and Atlantic Terminal Company
stated that, except where excavations
are made for streets leading to Hamp-
ton Roads, the breastworks will be
carefully preserved. The top of the
fortiiications will be protected by a
board structure that will rest on the
top like floor and rise about three
feet above it like n closed box. The
war relics being unearthed will be
placed along this crest, so as to be WISH
bic from either the landward or sea-
ward sides. Along the sides of the
framework will be painted in large let
ters brief descriptions that will tell
the story of the battle-scarred fortin-
cations to visitors TO the spot.
The Sewall's Point Notifications were
attacked during the civil war by fleet
of Federal monitors. but the land was
sield by the Norfolk Light Artillery
Blues and the Federal forces did not
effect landing. Mr.. Joseph r. Allyn,
of Norfolk. member of the Blues at
that time, and one of the brave de-
tenders behind the breastworks, is now
ut work gathering data for the inscrip-
tons to be placed along the fortifica-
tons. He will endeavor. from the rec
ords of the Blues and from other avail
able sources. to secure all the infor-
nation possible relative to the building
of the fortiiications and their defense.
The fortifications are still in good
shape and their dimensions are as fol-

Rev. DR.. w. +. Leftwich, who is
stopping in Norfolk. received letter
recently from Bishop H. c. Morrison,
of the NJ. e. Church South, who pre-
sided over the late sessions of the two
North Carolina conferences. in which
he states he was called from the Old
North State to Little Rock, Ark,
where he dedicated new church
that cost $5o,000. The Bishop says
that when he reached Little Rock he
found an Indebtedness on the new
edifice of $4,000, and that at ban
quet given n day or two before the
dedication he presented the cause be-
fore the guests and raised S1O,500. and
on the Sunday of the dedication he ran
the amount up to $1,000. which was
$4,000 more than was needed to lift the
entire Indebtedness on the edifice. The
Bishop says in mis- letter 1t is the pref
test church in Arkansas, if not the
prettiest in the South. Bishop Morri-
son is in excellent health.
