FlsGERLESS CHINESE WIFE.
She is the Remark BILE Bride of Pioneer
0fCalifOrnia,

From the San Francisco Examiner.
Here is a woman who has worked so
hard all her life that she has literally
worked her fingers off. At least, that is
the statement that she makes. Certain
it is that she is minus fingers and thumbs;
and as 10 hard labor performed by her.
it has been sufficient 10 wear off the ten
fingers on any woman's hand-accOrding

The fingerless woman is Chinese. She is
I the wife of a Portuguese pioneer named
Carmel Silveria Sarmento, who came to
California as interpreter for Pathfinder
Fremont. Their unusual union was
brought about before the days Of alien
marriage laws. The ceremony was per
formed by a Catholic priest.
When San Francisco was merely waste
of sand dunes a wealthy family from the
East Indies brought q Chinese servant
whom they called Anna with them TO
Santa Clara County. For twenty years
this faithful creature toiled for her bread
and clothes, giving up to her taskmasters
her youth, good health, and. she declares
her fingers She was finally rescued nv
the good Father Mazanata, Of Santa
Clara, who found other means OF employ
ment for her, and ii was not long after

her time, without rest, from early morn
lnS until night. every day for twenty
years. She does not know her age. but
her husband says she is younger than
himself, and he is siXty-seven.
Sarmento Is now too infirm to provide
for his wife, and SO she is still a slave of
circumstances, but she is a willing slave
and takes pride in her humble home as is
seen III the cleanliness of the small COZ
taSe and the thriftineSs Of its garden
She earns money by washing, cleaning
ana baking for the neiehbOrS, and never
lacks employment
How Anna manages TO work without
