SOUTH AMERICA'S LLAMA. A STRANGE BUT INDISPENSABLE LITTLE CREATURE. It Has a Deer's Body, Camel's Head. Sheep's Wool, Mule's Hoof's and Horse's Neigh-—lts Great Value. One who has never seen a llama can Tinrilly form an idea of how the strange little creature looks, with the head of a camel, the body of a deer, the wool of a sheep, the hoofs of a mule and the neigh of a horse. It is found nowhere but in the Andes, and, says Fannio B. Ward in the Washington Star, is the more in teresting because it is the only native domesticated animal in South America, the ox, horse, sheep, hog and all others useful toman having been brought originally from some other country. It is the only beast of burden used in the higher altitudes, where mules and horses cannot eudure the thin air, as it alone is exempt from sirroche, its natural home being 9000 feet and upward. Though domesticated in Peru, Bolivia and Chili and not able to live below a certain ele vation unless the weather is very cold, great numbers of them run wild on the foot-hills and sandy plains of Patogonia, even near the level of the sea so far from the equator. A full grown llama is about the size of n year-oid colt, standing from four to six feet high, and is covered with a long and surprisingly thick coat of wool, which, however, is seldom sheared, as the ani mal is used only for purposes of trans portation. Its usual color is muddy brown, while a few are light yellow or nearly white. The Indians paint the latter with liquid dyes and very odd it looks to see a troop of them in all the colors of the rainbow, red, blue, purple, pink and green, with gay tassels dangling from their ears. Many of the most valu able mines of Peru and Bolivia could hardly be carried on without these hardy and sure-footed little animals, though not one of tliein can be made to bear more than a hundred pounds weight, while the average load of u mule is 300 pounds. On all the mountain roads leading from the mines hundreds of llamas may be seen with bags of barilla, as the pow dered ore is called, fastened to pack saddles on their backs by ropes made from their own wool, which the Indians pull, spin and weave as they walk along. Where the trails arc dangerously narrgw each troop is led by one haviug a bell attached to his neck, so that travelers coming from the other direction may be warned by the ringing to wait in some place where there is room enough to pass. None but Indians, shy as themselves and unhampered by the ways of civiliza tion, can manage llamas, and white men never attempt it. If an ounce more than 100 pounds be added to his burden the beast will lie down and refuse to stir until the surplus is removed, and when ever he is tired, burden or no burden, he is bound to stretch out until well rested. Meanwhile the patient driver will halt all the rest of the Hock and lie down too, wailing by the roadside until the refrac tory animal is ready to move on. An Indian never strikes his llamas, the ut most coercion he uses under any circum stances being a gentle push. Indeed, he take 3 better care of them than he does of his own children; perhaps with good reason, since the four-footed animals are of more value commercially. The latter are worth alive about seven dollars apiece, but sell for more when dead, in the shape of hides, meat and tallow. Tho natives prefer llama flesh, after it has been frozen to any other kind of meat, and make great account of the tallow, which is called sabo, using it for many purposes. Male llamas only carry freight, the females being kept in corral for breeding purposes. 80011 as the young male is ready to stand he is trained to bear bur dens, and at two years old is put into an ulquila, the usual drove cf twenty ani mals. To drive this number easily two persons are required. An Indian will take his alquilu, with 100 pounds piled on the back of each, and, assisted by his wife and child, will drive them a distance of 150 miles in eighteen or twenty days. For this service he charges at the rate of eighty cents per diem to each beast, Bolivian cents, worth about half as much as ours. At this price he feeds himself and the animals and furnishes the neces sary ropes, sacks and other equinmcuts, reckoning forty cents a day for the llamas, twenty cents for the wear and tear of sacks and ropes and twenty cents for the food of himself and companero. The sack in which he carries grain, ore, etc., costs in the currency of the country $'1.25, but will last for a long time. Under this contract he will sometimes make a jour ney of two or three months' duration and and save money out of it. The llama subsists upon a mountain shrub or a species of tough, coarse grass mixed with the sand in which it grows. He drinks almost no water and can travel without food for a week, if given a square meal at both ends of the jour ney. If too well fed, he is subject to a skin disease, which invariably proves fatal. Some years ago, in 1857, I be lieve, an effort waa made to introduce llamas into the United States, but it could not be cariied out, principally be cause the food was too good for them. Seventy-two llamas were taken from Peru to New York. Only thirty-eight of that number survived the sea voyage and those were wintered on a Long [stand farm—which certainly must have been cold enough for the most fastidious animal of the Andes. In the spring scarcely a dozen of these were left alive; these were sold to museums and mena geries and (lied at the first approach of warm weather. Llamas have a queer but effective way of defending themselves when teased or made angry. Stamping the forefeet and turning suddenly upon the object t>f rage, they will eject between the teeth a pint or more of saliva, throwing it with great force a distance of feveral feet. The salava produces a stinging sensation 011 the skin, and if it gets into the mouth or eyes or on any place wh*re the skin is broken violent inflammation is immediate > Ijr caused and deathly blood-poisoning haa been known to ensue. Therefore, those who are acquainted with the peculiarities of the beast are very careful to keep on the right side of his temper and a re spectful distance from his nose. SELECT SIFTINGS. The latest fad in Parisian society is the decorated skirt front. Claude Lorraine, the Italian painter, was bred a pastry cook. Executions are public in Ecuador, and the musket is the instrument of death. An orange measuring a foot in cir cumferance has been found in Starke, Fla. Within a distance of five or six squares in Philadelphia, near Chestnut and Wal nut streets, 200 physicians have been counted. A fox loosed for a chase at Pottstown, Penn., got tha better of sixteen horse men and several packs of hounds and escaped. A service of carrier pigeons is to be established between Zanzibar and Lake Nyassa, in Africa. The stations will be thirty miles apart. Australian cannibals show a great pre ference for Chinamen, whose rice diet is supposed to make their flesh especially sweet and tender. St. Louis, Mo., has a Dress Suit Club, the members of which pay $5 a month and decide by lot who shall purchase a dress suit out of tho funds. In Ireland, before St. Patrick intro duced Christianity, there was a temple at Tara, where tire burned ever, and was on no account sullered togo out. Of the original thirteen States, Dela ware was the first to ratify tho Constitu tion, doing so on December 7, 1787. Rhode Island was the last, on May 29, 1790. Two fig trees in California are thirty feet high and bear 1000 pounds of fruit each year. The man who owns them very naturally think there is money in tho tig business. Take in your hand a crystal of quartz, a stick of deal, a daisy and an acorn and you will not find in them a single ele ment of matter that is not also found in your physical frame. A lino of railway through Alaska to Cape Prince of Wales to connect with the Russian railway system through Siberia is said to bo perfectly feasible and the future is sure to see it accomplished. The alligator is one of those animals which, like the parrot and tortoise, live for an indefinite term. It is never full grown at less than twenty years, and may grow after that. It is not known how long it may live, but it commonly attains the age of 100 years. "Boston cockles," which are famous over a very large area of England, are gathered from tho sands, parboiled, shelled, aud in this half-cooked conditnn are sent by railway in bags, chiefly to Bristol and the west of England at large, where they are sold aud cousuiucd as del icacies by the masses. "Nephelococcuquia" is a Greek word, and means translated into English, "cloud-cuckoo-town," built by the birds, aud found in Aristophanes on"The Birds." This town was buill in midair, so as to cut oil the gods from men. It wits used as a satire on Athens, or, perhaps, on the visions of conquest in Sicily, Italy. A Strike by the Executioner. Senor Valentin, the public executioner of Havana, Cuba, has had his claims for services rendered the city settled by the Treasury, and recently he acted in his official capacity in the city of Jovenlupes, assisting live murderers out of the world in the mo6t approved style. The five condemned men were all executed between the hours of 6 and 8 o'clock. There were some 20,000 per sons present at the execution and great interest was shown in the case, owing to the fact that the executioner recently re fused to do any more work unless he was paid for previous services. The meu were accused of committing wholesale murders for the purpose of robbery, but as there was some doubt as to the actual guilt of at least two of them an appeal for commutation of sentence was made. The day before the execution Valeu'an had the scaffold and garrote removed from Havana to Joven lupes. When the scaffold and its grim furnish ings were half way between the two cities the executioner announced the fact that uuless he was paid in advance for his work there would bo no execution the following day,and the scaffold might remain in the middle of the road between Havana and Jovenlupes until the country people stole it, so far as the executioner's personal efforts were concerned. The executioner was obstinate, and a hasty messago to the Treasury Depart ment of Havana resulted in the payment of SBS to Valentin. The money was handed to him by a messenger. The progress of the scaffold and the garrote was then resumed, and the following day there were five funerals in Jovenlupes. —B<an Francisco Chronicle. A Pirate Bird. Ex-Governor William G. Sterett, of Dallas, Texas, says: W-hilo 011 a fishing and hunting expedition on the Atlantic coast in North Carolina a few days since my attention was attracted by a shrill and frantic cries of the sea gull. As I looked upward I saw a bird resem bling a hawk strike the gull under its claws, when down came the fish and the pirate bird after it. The fish had not gone ten feet before the pirate bird had it in its stomach. Then he soared up ward with lightning rapidity, aud de scending equally as quick, struck the screaming gull on its back with such force that tlie contents of its stomach were forced out of its mo'lth, and the pirate caught it in the aira* it fell. At this moment 1 took aim at the pirate with my and brought him down.— St. Louia UloU-Democrat. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. DOING UP FINK LACE. To give a slight firmness to the fabric —as starch must never be used—the least bit of arabic water or a lump of sugar will, if added to the rinsing water, im part the required consistency. Handsome lace ought never to be plunged into hot suds, but folded over and over, dipped lightly into soft water into which has been dissolved a small piece of white castile soap and a pinch of borax, the lace squeezed hard again and again until per fectly clean, then dipped again into hot soft water. Lace should never be ironed, but taken carefully in the hands, the damp edges and meshes drawn perfectly into shape, then pressed under a heavy weight for several hours between the folds of apiece of soft muslin.— Brooklyn Citizen. BOFA CUSHIONS. Very large sofa cushions are now in the height of fashion,stuffed with down, and covered with embroidered black or colored satin, or with Turkey twill, worked in scattered small designs with coarse cream flourishing thread. The width of the satin is that of the cushion, and the length averages from three-quar ters of a yard to one aud a quarter yards. Many cushions are stuffed with the down yf two ordinary sized ones taken to pieces and well shaken up, or with a dis carded eider-down quilt. There is a frill of folded soft silk all round of about four inches in depth. For instance, if a cushion is worked in a contrasting color to the foundation.the frill matches the embroidery. Black satin, with light terra cotta; and olive green, with a darker shade, are favorite mixtures. Some dinner-table centres of brocade are square, but have a length of soft silk, put on rather full, at each end, which lies down the rest of the table, terminating where the dish is placed. Sometimes this length is puffed up, ac cording to fancy. The sides of the bro cade square are finished off with a silk cord. The brocade table covers, with frill of soft silk, are pretty on small tables about a room.— New York Ob server. HINTS FllOSf A FAMOUS MANICURE. The care of the hands and nails should form a very important part of every one's toilet. By spending a little time every day it is possible to keep them in nice order. The popular method of treating the nails is all wrong. Steel should never be used beneath the nail or on the tender skin surrounding it. Small, pointed instruments of tortoise shell or ivory should be used to clean the nails. The nippers specially prepared for cut ting and the file for smoothing aud shaping are the only steel utensils al lowable. At first it may be necessary, with sharp scissors, to clip off loose bits of skin or troublesome hang-nails, but if the proper care is taken and the proper plan pursued one can soon dispense with even these. Every day rub well into the flesh around the nails some salve. Then with warm water, soap and a soft linen cloth remove all grease, gently pressing back the skin aud working off the cuticle which adheres to the nail, aud in some cases obliterates the half-moon. Polish ing powder should be used but once a week, as its tendency is to dry the skin and make it liable to crack. The best polisher is the outer edge of one's palm. If the nails are well cared for, a hand, even if far from beautiful in shape, will always look well. We are indebted for th3se hints to one of the most celebrated manicures in Paris, and, if followed, the results will be invariably successful.— New York World. RECIPES.

Birth of Icebergs. While encamped near the Mtiir Glacier for seven weeks of last summer, Mr. 11. B. Loomis and Professor Muir watched the formation of icebergs. The drop ping of the blocks from the terminal wall occurred at very irregular intervals of live minutes to an hour, the fall of no less than 19'J having been heard one day in twelve hours. At times, especially in heavy rains, the reports sounded in camp at a distance of a mile, like those of a thunder storm or cannonade. Some times the detached block bursts into fragments and falls like a cascade. At another time a block sinks unbroken into the water, rises, perhaps 250 feet, even with the top of the glacier, then topples over on its side with a heavy roar, throwing spray in all directions and wallows among the other icebergs like a gigantic animal.

There was a fine exhibition of strength of the Arabs at a wrestling match in a valley around which the mountains rose gradually, forming a natural amphithea ter, says a recent writer. Here a large audience sat on the rocks overlooking the space below. The rival tribes were seated at each end of the valley, while their chiefs walked proudly up and down in front of them. Then one of the chiefs would call out a champion and challenge a rival. The two would throw off their cloaks and rush at each other, and wrestle until one would get his head under the body of the other, and with great force, throw his adversary in the air over his back. Sometimes after a despeiate struggle the chiefs would bare to separate them; they being equal, neither one being able to throw the other. Guaranteed Ave year eiifht per cent.
