Know When They Have Enough.

The llama, that docile animal which
was the beast OF burden in Peru in
prehistoric times ana played the part
that was assigned to his cousin, the
camel, In Egypt and Arabia, is still
seen in large numbers in the mountain
districts. but he cannot live in the
warmer ATTITUDES along the coast. He
Is docile, enduring and sure footed. He
can go n long time without water and
food and chewS the cud of contentment
when other animals are in distress be
cause OF the temperature of the rare
fled atmosphere found in the Andean
plateaus.
\ llama will carry 100 pounds and
no more. and If you add an ounce to
his load he will lie down and wait I'M
til il is taken off. He knows when he
has enough, and there is no use in try
ing to argue with him. The native In
dams have learned this by the expert
ence of generations. and when n llama
lies down they Immediately unstrap
and diminish his burden without max
ing any fuss about il. Then, when he
is satisfied that lie has been given no
more than his share, he climbs on 10
his hoofs again and follows the noun
tain trail for days and weeks at n time
without murmurinC or slipping or for
getting his good manners. - Chicago

A Famous DistIIIery.

The poor receive all the profits of
one of the most famous diStilleries in
the world, that which is connected
WITH the monastery of st. Bruno, i'll
the department of Dauphine, which is
better known as La Grande Char
tr.use. The distillcry itself is a con-
siderable distance from the monas-
terry. but it stands on land belonging
to the order, although the French gov
eminent has claim over it.
The monks of st. Bruno, although
they are sworn to poverty, have con-
troll of an industry which produces
about $4,000 year profit. OF this
one-third goes as a contribution to
the fund known as Peters pence. An
other portion is devoted to the main
tenance of hospitals. and the remainder
* devoted to Substituting poor churches
throughout France and to the per
sonaI relief of poor applicants, without
distinction of church or creed. 1t is
interesting to note that those who have
control of this lucrative business are
expressly forbidden by their vows to
carry on a trade which could result
in Il profit to themselves.
Many attempts have been made to
purchase the business, one notably by
because the heads of the order consider
that they are not justified in selling the
business to firm that would make n
personal profit 10y it.-Cincinnati En-

special mention. In these days of

heretofore for the same cost-and it's
too much to expect that cut glass will
