Writing Up the Smallest Woman. San Francisco News-Letter.

Lucia Zarate, the smallest woman in the world, was born in Mexico. HeJ Earents were peons— tbat is to say alf-breeds. When born she was the size of a rat. It was supposed that she was dead, and she was put into a little box tbat be in the room. Soon, however, she began to scream. She was then taken out of her box, and, except that she was wonderouely small, she soon played and ran about like any other child. This is what the weekly Arizona Miner says, but we can lay over that. Bologna Sausagini, the most smallest woman in the world, was born in London. Her parents were both over eight feet high. When born she was no bigger than a hum-ming-bird’s egg, and weighed one ounce. She was put ih a pill box, but she soon squealed the lid off, and. now she Is fourteen years old, weighs 210 pounds, and can kick a cat off the doorstep clear across the street. Them’s the kinder sort of wimmen this Journal writes up.
