The Llama.

The South American llama viii bear
neither beating or i'll treatment The an
imals 20 in troops, an Indian walking a
long distance ahead as a guide. If the
llamas are tired, they stop, and the Indian
stops also. II the delay be too great, the
Indian, becoming uneasy toward sunset,
after all due precaution, resolves on sup
plieating the beasts TO resume their jour
ney. lie stands about fifty or sixty PAGES
of, in an attitude of humility, waving his
hand coaxingly toward them, looks at them
with tenderness, and at the same time, in
the softest tones, reiteratcs, "lc, ic, ic +
If the llamas are disposed to resume their
course, they follow the Indian in good or
der and at a regular pace, but very fast,
for their legs are very long but when they
are in ill-humor, they do not even turn
toward the speaker, but remain motionless,
huddled together, standing or lying down.
The straight neck and its gentle majesty
of bearing, the long down of their always
clean and glossy skin, their supple and
timid motion, all give them an air at once
sensitive and noble The llama is the only
creature employed by man which he dares
not strike If it happens-which is very
seldom the case-that an Indian wishes to
obtain, either by force or even by threats
what the llama will not willingly perform,
the instant the animal finds itself affronted
by words or gesture, he raises his head with
dignity, and without making any attempt
to escape ill.treatment by fight, lies down,
turning its looks toward heaven. Large
tears flow freely from his beautiful eyes,
sighs issue from his breast, and in half or
three, quarters of an hour at the most, be
expires. The respect shown these animals
by Peruvian Indians amounts absolutely to
superstitious reverence. When the In
dams lead them, two approach and caress
the animal, hiding his head that he may
not see the load on his back. 1t is the
same in unloading. The Indians of the
Cordilleras alone have sufficient patience
and gentleness to manage the llama.

Pretty Servant Girls.



A gentleman who was sued by
his wife for a divorce yesterday,
because of his affection for a pretty
servant girl, testified that he con-
sidered his affection for Mary (the
handmaiden) was of an Innocent
character, as both he and his wife
were very much attached to her
and were in the habit of kissing
and embracing her every night be.
fore retiring. This is such truly
delightful condition of domestic af-
fairs, so rare in this world of sor-
row and disappointment and so
much to be desired in the bosom of
all families, that little whole
some reflection upon the theme
may be productive Of good results
in the mind of every wife, husband
and pretty servant girl. No one
who has an eye for the beautiful
will have in II tastefully furnished
house an Old or ill-favored female
domestic. Such a person is a re-
proach to paintings, fresco, furni-
ture and bric.a-brac. A neat, tidy,
plump servant girl, as near the
pattern of Watteau Shepherdess
as it is possible to get her, will add
immensely to the decorative art
character OF the house. If the hus.
band have au artist soul there Is
never any harm ia his placing his
hand on Mary's arm and saying to
her in voice low and harmonious.

chin 10 too low to harmonic
with that bronze stork," and with
his finger and thumb he arranges
the blooming damsel's chin ct the
correct angle, and again retires to
decide if the pose is in any way de-
fective. Possibly a discordant
line in Mary's drapery catches his
eye, and he composes it; and if at
this moment his wife enters, and
she is of the truly aesthetic type,
she falls into his arms, and they
are both utterly and chaotically

Of mind, she may enter a forcible,
and possibly striking objection to
the drapery part Of the picture. In
this case we have referred to, the
happy handmaiden was blessed
and embraced by the husband be-

though the matter of wages is not

our minds it is the nearest ap.
proach to the millennium that has
ever come under our notice. A
pretty serant girl, and permission
to give her 49, innocent en- brace at
any hour of lie day, should induce
every man to cultivate the domes-
tic virtues. forswear clubs and card
rooms, keep at home, and live n

the rest of tho world.

CAT THE SOUND OF dog


How They Dance the Racket at Lsadvillo.
We saw the racquette the other
night. 1t is lovely dance. The
attitude and motions of the dancers
are excruciating. No wonder it is
such a favorite among the young
ladies and gentlemen of high moral
proclivities. 1t is just too lovely
for anything and is easy to learn.
And it is SO appropriately named
though misspelled. 1t goes on in
the following style: The lady
and gentleman stand facing each
other, close together. The gentle.
naHn's right 0rna i, delicately placed
around the lady's waist, his left
hand clutching her right index
finger, while her left hand ia placed
on his right shoulder. Finally the
fiddles, after few sea-saws, strike
up, "a dog ate rye straw, rye
straw; a dog ate rye straw" etc.
At the sound OF "dog" the dane
ers spring of to the gentleman's
left two jumps, then back to the
lady's left two jumps, as though
the "dog" was biting them from
the rear, and they In their efforts
to escape were trying to dodge each
other, but couldn't. After the two
jumps to the lady's left they both
halt an instant with the feet fifteen
inches apart aud bending their
knees III towards each other until
they nearly touched. We could
only see the gentleman's knees, but
suppose the lady did the same;
then both suddenly spring one
jump to the lady's lett, and thus
back ward and forward, keeping
their feet and knees rigidly in the
above position all the time; but
with Timber knee and hip joints
they make a graceful swinging mo.
ton up and down to the time Of the
music.
When the music stops O moment
the dancers stop, and then at the
sound OF "dog" they both swing of
again, and repeat the maneuver
over and over, until both become
exhausted, the fiddles stop, and
they sink into seats in a perspira.
tion Of rapture. That's the rae.
quette. Oh, It's just too jolly, but
It cannot be appreciated until seen.
Seeing is all that Is required to
make one enamored and fall into
ecstacies over 1t. We tumble to

The Girl Over the Way.

1t is at this season Of the year
that the girl across the strickland
there always is glrl who lives
across the s,reet-begIns to come to
sun herself at the open window.
Science has never dealt with this
subject profoundly, and has never
satisfactorily accounted for the
fact that there Is always a girl who
lives on the other side of the way
who sets out fower-pots, and
hangs a bird cage, and sings a pref.
ty air, utterly unconscious of the
fact that Vis-0.vis to her there is q
man. Fer this is also part of the
phenomenon. The same law of
nature which exacls that a girl
shall live on the opposite side OF
the street requires that man or
hend in human shape shall live on
this side. These coexisting facts
are complicated by the third fact,
that while the man devours with
his eyes the fair girl she never
sees him, and does not, to all ap.
pearances, ever know that there is
being or tiend in human shape
across the way who looks at her
with wistful eyes-sometimes for
tilted by pair of opera-glasses.
The girl across the street ia usual
~ young and frequently pretty.
But sometimes she is neither. Yet
she always looks well at distance,
Fixing fower.pots on the window
sill, clipping dead leaves from the
geranium with her scissors,
bending over the young buds
and blossoms with caressing ten.
derness, and inhaling their per.
fume-the girl across the way Is al
ways charming tableau. In the
Spring that unfolds the pansies and
the daftodils, there blossoms out
nothing more charming than the
girl across the way.-Every Satur.

man well known In Los Angeles

that real estate in this city is I'M
der decided eclipse, and 10 likely
to remain so for some time to come.
On the other hand Oakland Is 60.
ing ahead with race horse speed.
The same may be said of all the
towns in the neighborhood Of San
Francisco. The great work which
the Central Pacific folks have been
doing across the Bay has expedited
this somewhat natural tendency.
The climate of Oakland also helps
that place materially. Judge Hyde
Is of opinlon-that the city of San
