The llama, that docile animal which
was the beast Of burden in Peru in
prehistoric times and 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
ls docile enduring and sure footed. He
can 60 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
fed atmosphere found in the Andean
plateaus.
A llama will carry 100 pounds and
no more, and II you add an ounce to
his load he will lie down and wait I'M
til it is taken off. He knows when he
has enough, and there is no use in try
Ing to argue with him. The native In
dlans have learned this by the expert
enoe of generations, and when llama
lies down they immediately unstrap
and diminish his burden without max
ing any fuss about it, Then, when he
Is satisfied that he has been given no
more than his share, he climbs On to
his boots again and follows the noun
tain trail for days and weeks at a time
without murmuring or slipping or for
getting his good manners. Chicago

Automatic SnIt Work..


About a hundred miles north of
Lima near the town Of Huacho, is one
CT the great curiosities OF nature--a
salt factory on an automatic plan.
When the tide comes In, 1t fills lot Of
shallow basins, and the water Is pre-
vented from flowing back into the sea
by closing the gates. The atmosphere
Is so dry that the water evaporates
rapidly and leaves sediment Of salt
in an almost pure state. which is scrap
cd up. packed into sacks and shipped
to market. Within the coast little
farther the percolation Of sea water
through the porous rocks into pits and
hollows has caused immense deposits
Of salt to accumulate. The salt is TAX
en- out In blocks six or eight inches
square and sold In that form. AS soon
as the salt is excavated the water
comes in again and in u year or two
has solldified and is ready for the mar
ket. Wells driven into the sand dis
close strongly impregnated water at a
depth of 25 feet, which seems to be a
great deal heavier than the sea water,
and Is drawn off into vats for evapora-
tiOn.-Chicago Record.

A Famous Distil1ery.


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, iG
the department of Dauphlne, which is
better known as La Grande Char
treuse. The distillery itself is a con-
siderable distance from the monas-
terry, but 1t stands on land belonging
to the order. although the French gov.
ernment has claim over 1t.
The monks of st. Bruno, although
they are sworn to poverty, have con.
troll of an industry which produces
about $150,000 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
is devoted to subsidlzng poor churches
throughout France and to the per-
sonal relief of poor applicants, without
distinction of church or creed. 1t Is
interesting to note that those who have
control of this lucrative business arc
expressly forbidden by their vows to
carry on a trade which could result
in profit to themselves.
Many attempts have been made to
purchase the business, one notably by
the Rothschilds, but all have failed,
because the heads Of the order consider
that they are not justified in selling the
business to firm that would make q
personal profit by it.-Cincinnati En-
uuiref.

Brady of his experiences as IA Mis-
slonary In the Great West" in The La.
dies Home Journal. "A young divinity
student was with us. He was one Of
the ambitious kind of divinity students
who wreck a parish or two when they
begin and finally drift upon the eccle-
siastical bargain counter. He was
ready to argue about anything with
anybody.
"a greasy, dilapidated looking tramp
came into the .caboose at one of the
stations at the end of division and
presently engaged in heated discus.
sion with the young theologue on the
disadvantages of education. He main
tained the affirmative-that the less a
man knew and the less education he
had the happier he was-with so much
skill and adroltness and showed such
mastery of logic and literature that he
routed the poor boy-horse, foot and
dragoons-so effectively that the young
man rose and went out on the platform
to hide his chagrin, leaving the sup.
posed tramp chuckling over his pipe in
huge enjoyment at his easy victory.
"The bishop had listened without say
ing a word, and when the student left
he turned to the man and inquired
sharply, What college do you come
from. sir? 'Yalev answered the man
without thinking. The vnlucky admis.
sion destroyed the mans argument, for
he was living example Of the fallacy
of bis own proposition"

An English traveller once met COM
panion, sitting in state Of the most
woeful despair and apparently near
the last agonies, by the side Of one Of
the mountain lakes of Switzerland. He
inquired the cause Of his sufferings.
"Oh," said the latter, ~ was very hot

Eeonom,rins Fuel.

. There are many good housekeepers
who are Indifferent in the matter of
saving small coal and cinders. Unseen
waste goes on In most houses In this re-
spect, II housekeepers would make it
a point to see that all cinders and ashes
are thoroughly sifted daily, they would
be surprised at the fuel they would

This causes them TO make much better

The best kitchen fire is made by put

Kenyon continues to wall because Of
its close call In this city. In an arti-
Gle sent to the Columbus Dispatch
from Gambler the impression is given
out that Buchtel was guilty Of slugging
and every other variety of dirty work.
1t is also alleged that Whitsel was un-
fair and that he paid no attention to
the complaints of Capt. Rodgers. These
statements are lies and the man that
wrote them knows It, Capt. Rodgers
made no complaints because there
was no complaint 10 make. Kenyon
seeks to win championship and she
is certainly entitled to 1t in one class,
She is the champion baby of the lot.

''It has always been a curious puzzle
why Franklin, the man Of ripe age, of
commanding distinction and Of approx
ed literary skill, was not selected to
write the Declaration instead of Thorn
as jefferson, then only Sc years old and
comparatively unknown" says John
Gllmer Speed in The Saturday Even
ing Post. ut could not be that Frank
lin was passed by because he had done
everything in his power to avert the
war and reconcile the differences be-
tween the colonies and the mother
country, for all wise men in the colo.
nies did all that honor permitted in
that direction until the die was cast.
No; II was not fear OF Franklin's ear
nestness in the cause of the colonies.
1t was probably the fear of Franklin's
humor.
"Iie was not only the greatest man
of his time, but he was one of the
greatest humorists of any time. And
80 his associates were possibly afraid
that he would put joke In the Decla.
ration and passed him by and selected
the lank young Virginlan with the free
kled face.
"As 1t was, Franklin did have his
Joke, for when the members of con.
gress were about to sign the Declara-
tlon Hancock, whose earnestness Is ex'
pressed In the bold signature which
comes FIRST, said in his own earnest
way: we must be unanimous. There
must be no pulling different ways. We
must all hang together

hang together, or we shah be pretty
sure to hang separately"

the few rounds of the contest which
was fought in Denver. One Of the
accounts which ] read said that Rus
sell was disqualified for hitting Choyn-
ski two terrific blows after the gong
had sounded for the cessation of the
round. The blows must have been
corkers, for they sent Joe through the
