DIZZY BRIDGE IN THE ANDES.

swayine Suspension Devices Of For
mer Days Gradually Disappearing.
With the building of railways and
wagon roads into the heart Of the
South American Andes there is gradu-
ally disappearing type Of suspension
bridge peculiar to that region OF
which travellers used to speak with
horror.
These bridges are on the mountain
trails. Long ropes of twisted vines
are stretched from one side OF deep
gorge to the other and made fast to
trees on each side. Then a rude floor
ing is laid and other ropes of twisted
vines form handrails on either side OF
the footway. The bridge is so loosely
hung that it sways frightfully under
foot, and roaring torrents dash over
rocks a thousand feet or more below.
Yet the Indians cross them without
fear or dizziness, carrying heavy
loads on their backs and minding the
passage no more than If they were
walking across the Brooklyn bridge.
To others, however, they are dan
gerous places, for if man loses his
nerve" or becomes dizzy the chances
are that he will fall off and be dashed
to pieces, because the side ropes are
so loose that they offer little or no
protection, and the roaring of the tor
rent, the swaying of the frail struc-
ture, which hardly allows the traveller
| to keep his feet, and the sense Of
being suspended in midair above i'm
mense depths is enough to try the
| hardest and most leveLheaded per-
| son.
When the Spaniards conquered
Peru these were the only sort of
| bridges there, but the Inca kings had
them built on such a grand scale that
the invaders were able to ride across
them on their horses clothed in full
mail, though they took the precau-
ton to blindfold their chargers before
they urged them on the swaying struc.
| lures.

Little Girls Hard Lot in China.

After the marriage, girls have no
part with their own family, and no
part in the worship of their ancestors.
To have no son means no ancestral
worship, and the girl is often sold as
a daughter-in-law. Poor people buy
their sons wives when they are but
babies, as they can be had then for
two Mexican dollars-about one dol
lar and seventy-five cents in our
money. These little ones are usually
drudges in the mother-in-law's house
hold.
A missionary tells this story. She
heard two women conversing in her
house-one the mother of five sons
and the wife of the leading scholar in
Kuangwang. One said: 81 am going
to get my daughter-in-law into the
house; you see daughter-in-law is no
more expense than a servant; il
curse or beat servant she leaves,
but you can beat daughter-in-law
and get obedience and your work will
be done as you wish it," The other
replied: Just SO, just so. / am think
ing of getting daughter-in-law, too.
/ can then live at ease" AS a conse-
quence Of this custom, little girls look
forward not to betrothal nor to mar
riage, but to becoming mothers-in-law,
when they in turn can have authority.
