his flock, although roaming freely over
the same grounds with the vicuna, new
ertheless keeps quite apart, maintain
ing distinct family exclusion. The
huanacos are reputed as untamable, and
the only ones ever known in captivity
retained their wild nature unchanged.
The alpaca, like the llama, is only
found in the domestieated state, and,
like the latter, is of various colors,
white and black predominating, and
often mixed, so that fleeces from the
same animal require to be assorted be-
fore being baled for market. The legs
of the alpaca are covered down, or near
~ down, to its feet by wool, or fleece,
while the legs Of all its relations, like
thUse OF the deer, are c.ean, covered with
short hair, giving them lighter and
feeter appearance.
The llama is the largest of all It's
class OF animals in the Andes, standing
four and one-half feet, and sometimes
more, from the ground to the center of
its back. 1t is a bright-eyed, furtive-
looking creature, not to be forced or
driven, but amenable to kindness. 1t
carries load of from eighty to one hum
dred pounds for distance of from six
to fourteen miles day. Overloaded,
like the camel, it lies down and obsti-
drove, there is usually an old and expe-
rienced llama, who is leader, and desig-
mated by a little, tinkling silver bell.

Hone for Bald Heads.

DR.. P. A. Morrow, at meeting of the
New York Academy of Medicine, said
he had had no personal experience with
Thiersch's method. He had used crafts
very much thicker than those men
toned in the paper-grafts which in
cluded not only the entire thickness Of
the derma, but also simultaneous tissues
beneath. He had been led to do this in
the case of a man who had become
somewhat hypocondriac because of
scar on the scalp, which in later years
became exposed from scarcity of hair.
He first took gratis from the patients
own scalp, on the opposite side, by
means of the cutaneous punch, and i'm
mediately transplanted them into holes
of the same size made by the same in
strument in the scar tissue. Very much
to his qualification, union was perfect
within week. Four gratis were first
made, and he waited several weeks to
see whether the hair would grow. 1t
did. He then made transplantations
from another patients scalp, and these
also grew and bore hair luxuriantly.
The gratis were fully a quarter of an
inch thick. There was no suppuration,
no untoward result He had employed
the same method in one or two cases of
epithelioma, and, while there was no
Indication Of breaking down, there had
not been sufficient time to justify con-
illusions. He thought the method had
wider field of application. For instance,
it might be adopted in lupus, and in re-
moving moles, warts and other facial
blemishes.-Medlcal Record.

Six Valuable Presents.

She gave an hour of patient care to
her little baby sister. who was cutting
her teeth.
She gave a string and crooked pin
and a great deal of good advice to the
three-year-old brother who wanted to
play at fishing.
She gave Ellen, the maid, precious
hour to go and visit her sick baby at
home; for Ellen was widow, and left
the child with its grandmother while
she worked to get bread for both. She
could not have seen them very often if
our Mary had not offered to attend the
door while she was away.
But this is not all that Mary gave.
She dressed herself SO neatly, and
looked so bright and kind and obliging,
that she gave her mother thrill
of pleasure whenever she caught sight
OF the young, pleasant face.
She wrote letter to her father, who
was absent on business, and gave
patient attention to long story by her
grandmother, and when it was ended
made the old lady happy by good
night kiss
Thus she had given valuable presents
to six people in one day, and yet she had
not a cent.-The Little Ones

The Indian drivers have sometimes
bamboo whistle, Of plaintive note, with
which they coax and lead their namas,
sometimes taking off their hats before
them, and supplicating them, in such
musical phrases as the Quichuas and
Amayras are capable OF, to proceed.
The llama is equally suspicious and
irritable. If aught goes wrong, his ears
are down in an instant, and his mouth
puckered for that acrid expectoration
which is as sure In aim as it is blistering
in result when it strikes the skin. The
animal emits strong and, to the foreign
sense, a most offensive odor, which,
when one is obliged to pass through
large drove, becomes almost unendur-
able. The females are not much used
for burden, being preserved in isolated
localities, under watchful care, for the
propagation of the species. The wool,
or fleece, is much coarser than that of
the alpaca and vicuna, but is, neverthe-
less, largely used for making coarse
cloths, ropes, etc., in which the natural
colors are contrasted with skill and
effect. The flesh is eaten, and may be
suited to the tastes, in no wise epicurean,
of the jewellers in the Sierra.
But by far the most numerous and
graceful of all this diversified family,
the smallest, and perhaps the least USE
full, is the lightsome vicuna, the domin-
ating inhabitant of the despobiado, and
which gives something of animation to
its cold and sullen solitudes. Singly or
in groups, often in hundred scattered
groups, he is to be found where naught
else of life is seen, and where his note
of alarm curves hundred necks, lifts a
hundred graceful heads, and points
twice hundred inquiring ears toward
the weary traveller among the frosty
mountain wastes. On many of the mar
row, family beaten paths of the Cordil-
lera, where travel is least frequent, the
vicuna is not only to be found in great
but as tame, if not tanner, than
than the sheep of remoter districts.
With his group or family of females and
young, numbering dozen or more flor
he is Mormon), he will gaze with big
eyes, as full and liquid as those of the
gazelle, at the passer-by; and on the re-
port of a pistol, which in the rarefied air
is low, dull and echoless, he will retreat
only few feet, even though one of his
family lie bleeding where he stood.
The vicuna may be tanned, but has
never been domesticated-are result often

How To Make Prime Butter.

1t is the aggregate of little things
that makes success of almost any bust
ness The last session of the New
York Dairymen's Association declared:
1. Milk from healthy cows only should
be used. 2. Avoid excitement OF the
cows, produced by chasing with dogs or
in any other manner. Harsh treatment
lessons the quantity and Injuries the
quality of the milk. g. Cows should
have an abundance of suitable
food and pure water, and salt
where they can have ready access
to it every day. 4. Cows should be
kept from all foul odors and not
be allowed to eat or drink any thing
that will give faint to the milk. 5.
Milking should be done at regular hours,
with clean hands, clean udders and clean
stables, and the milk kept from any
communicating odors. 6. Milk should
be strained Immediately after being
drawn, and not be disturbed until
ereamed. :. Milk pals and other YES
sells for keeping milk and cream should
be thoroughly cleansed-first well
washed and scalded with boiling water,
and then aired to keep them perfectly

and the Alps, the great bird, the condor,
the American counterpart of the Swiss
lammergeyer. The fishes there have,
also, certain resemblance to those of
corresponding attitudes and conditions
of the Old World, proving that height,
as we'll as latitude, exercises control
ling and analogous influence on every
department and realm of animal and
vegetable nature.
There is very little to relieve the
drear monotony of the Punas of Peru
and Bolivia. Patches of tola, fragrant
shrub resembling somewhat the heather
of the Scottish highlands, form the only
approximations to vegetation that meet
the eye of the traveller, except occasional
clumps of stiff ichu grass, and a kind of
swamp moss where the ground is wet.
mules or horses of the traveller in these
inhospitable and uninhabited regions:
and few dry stalks of the tola, which
burn out in an instant, constitute almost
the only fuel which he finds for his fire.
The absence of vegetable implies also
the absence of animal life. An occa-
sional condor, circling, mere speck, in
the clear, rarefied atmosphere, or swoop-
ing down with his fierce restless head,
to reconnoiter the little cavalcade OF
Glventurers; now and then biscacha,
an animal strangely compounded of the
rabbit, the rat and the squirrel: stray
chinchilla-these are about the only
birds and animals which the traveller in
the Punas sees for days together, ex-
cepting always the great droves of
Qamas, loaded with ore of tin, copper
and silver, on their way to the seaports,
driven by saturnine Indians, and the
herds of vicunaS and huanacos, cousins
german of the llama, which stare at the
intruder from every side. In some val
ley, saturated with springs, sustaining
a short, hardy perennial grass, and
sheltered from the fierce blasts sweeping
down the slopes of the snowy mountains
that rise all around, will, perhaps, be
found flock of alpacas, celebrated for
their wool, and belonging to the same
great family with the llama, the huan-
AGO and the vicuna; only the alpaca
looks little more like sheep and less
like deer, than the other animals
enumerated.
The alpaca is source of real wealth
to Peru, and Its export has been forbid
den, notwithstanding that all attempts
to acclimatize it in other countries and
chimes have proved signal failures.
1t is alleged by some that there is
such an animal as the wild llama, but
the nearest approximation, known to
travellers competent to decide on the
question, is the huanaco, which is the
largest of all the llama family, the
llama proper excepted, as we'll as the
shyest. He is, however, like the
vicuna, of uniform reddish-brown
color on the back, white on the belly
and inside of the legs, with blackish
head, while the llama is not only some
times of this color, but white, black,
mottled, ''ring-streaked" and spotted.
The huanaco is found only in the high
est and least accessible regions, where

sought, as his fleece is remarkably fine
and silky, in these respects surprising
that of the alpaca. Attempts have
been made to cross the vicuna with the
alpaca, and certain padre of the Sierra
succeeded in producing several hybrids
said to have been fertile. His por-
trait, in the act of caressing one of his
hybrid pets, is hung in the Museum Of
Lima, in commemoration of his success.
Many of the vicunas are killed annu-
ally for their fleece, of which hats and
ponchos of great softness and beauty
are manufactured and sold at high
prices to the traveller and haciendero.
The royal robes of the Inca were made
of the fleece of the vicuna, but the an
clients were wiser than their success
ors. They instituted grand hunts of the
vicuna, caught and sheared them, and

In the high, cold table-lands of South

plains of Tartary, there are, says the

his numerous varieties, there are the

distinct, and fulfilling corresponding
functions. Among the lofty Andes. too,
