A STORY OF CRANES.
ixed by the Natives of south
America.

The natives of Venezuela and adjoin-
ing countries on the north side of the
river Amazon often avail themselves OF
the services>of the native crane to care
for their poultry, and also use it in the
place of collie or shepherd dog to guard
and herd their domestic animals. This
remarkable bird, says the Montreal Star.
which the Indians call yakamik, and the
ornithologists Psophia Crepitans, is
found in a wild state in great forests
that lie between the northern coasts OF
South America and the Amazon and
British Guiana. The birds never leave
the forests unless shot or captured.
They travel about in fiocks of from
100 to zoe, in search of the berries, fruits
and insects upon which they subsist
Their usual gait is a slow and stately
march, but they enliven themselves from
time to time by leaping up in the air
executing eccentric and fancy waltzes
and striking the most absurd and pre-
pOsterOus attitudes. If pursued, they
endeavor to save themselves by run
ming, for their flight is so weak, accord
ing to SchOmburg, that when they at
tempt to fly over body of water of any
considerable width they are often COM
PEELED to drop upon it and save them
selves by swimming.
When alarmed they utter the peculiar
cry which has obtained for them the
name of trumpeters. The sound is some
thing like that produced by person en-
deavoring to shout the syllables "tow
tow, tow, tow, tow, with his mouth shut
or the doleful noise made by children on
New Year day with their trumpets. The
yakamiks usually deposit their eggs in
hollow in the ground, often at the foot
of a tree.
A nest generally contains ten eggs OF
a pale green color. The young birds fol-
low their mothers as soon as they are
Matched, but do not lose their pretty
down covering until several weeks old
The yakamiks are very readily tanned
and prove valuable servants to the Indi-
ans, who 6omesticate them, and as they
are courageous and will protect ami
mails intrusted TO their care at every risk
VI themselves, even Jugs are ODlhS0u u
yield to their authority.
They may be trusted with the care Of
flock Of sheep or domestic fowls, and
every morning will drive the ducks and
poultry to their feeding places, and,
carefully collecting any stragglers, bring
Them safely home at night. A yakamik
soon learns to know and obey the voice
of his master, follows him when per-
mitted wherever he goes and appears de-
lighted at receiving his caresses. 1t
pines at his absence and welcomes his
return, and is extremely jealous Of any
rival. Should any animal attack it's mas
ter, the yakamik in utmost fury attacks
it with wing and beak, driving it away
1t presents itself regularly during
meals, from which it chases all domes-
tic animals, and even the negroes who
wait on the table, if it is not well &C
quainted with them, and only asks for a
share of the eatables after it has driven
away all who might aspire to favor
able notice from the family.

LITTLE TALES OF KINGS.

it so as to reduce the pressure on tho
vocal chords. He now speaks in a some
what lower pitch, his throat specialists
having explained to him the theory of
voice production, which he has prac-
iced with considerable success.
Kin& Edward made fresh manifesto
ton Of his tact and kindness recently
by sending letter inQuiring as to the
condition Of member of parliament
who had undergone an operation for
appendicitis. The king said that as
he had been subjected to a severe opera
ton for the same malady, he had fel-
SOW feeling for all who had to endure
similar suffering. His act was the more
noteworthy from the fact that the mem
Der is prominent representative of a
party which does not look with favor
on kings or on an aristocracy.
Victor Emmanuel III. of Italy is one
of the least kingly among European
rulers. In person homely, awkward in
manner, and exceedingly shy in COM
pany, he thoroughly detests the dreary
tomfoolery of court life, though he 10y

duties falling to his position. He has
no fondness for appearing in military
uniforms, nor does he imagine that he

THE HUMAN STRIDE.
Denotes the Character of the Man
Very Accurately In Many
Instances.

There is probably no wider field than
that of the business world in which, to
study the different strides of men.
There are all sorts of characters in
business in large city, and there is
every opportunity to study the various
strides of the business man as he daily
walks the streets, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat There is no outside
influence brought to bear upon the man
whose steps take him over the even
streets Of a well-paved city. There is no
occasion for a man to acquire any par
dcular step that is forced upon the sail
or or the farmer or the convict, who ac-
Quire the step peculiar to them wholly
through habit. Once these influences
are removed the specific stride Chat they
acquire in the daily routine of their
lives, whether they be upon the sea, the
farm or in prison, they fall back, or
rather, they adopt the walk to which
Shey are directed by their individual
characters. 1t is a scientific fact that
there are certain parts of the human
frame; certain features, through which
che character of man can de detected.
The shape of nose is a medium by
which character is often told. The
mouth, the lips, also are good bases
from which to foretell the character of
person. 1t is also claimed that by the
eyebrows mans character can be sized
up. In fact, almost every contour,
every line, every bone, each feature of
the human body speaks plainly for some
part of the mans character. If charac-
ter can be told by the shape of the nose,
by the contour of cheek, by the lips,
chin, hand, why can character not
be told by means of a mans walk? There
are all sorts of men and there are all
sorts of walks. There is the walk of the
man who is conscious of his own i'm
portance. There are hosts of men who
have fine regard for their own impor-
lance, and many justly so.
There is the walk of the bashfuE man,
that shy, self-conscious stride that is
seen so frequently. A man who walks
in the manner is one of a rather un-
stable character. A man of strong char
acter, who is perfectly sure Of himself,
will walk with firm steady stride under
almost all circumstances There is the
walk of the bombastic man. This man
will never hesitate in crossing the floor
of public room. He will walk with a
stride that tells you that he knows him
self. You can spot" this sort of man
almost anywhere in the manner Of his
stride. There is the thoughtful man, who
goes along with head bent and careful
stride. This man usually walks in exact
ly the same even way unless he happens
to be in a hurry to catch a street car.
There is the man of careless character.
who goes along with arms swinging and
legs kicked out before him as though
he did not have a care in the world The
staggering man is easily told by his
walk. If man swaggers in his stride
it can be generally counted on that he
swaggers all over, in his conversation.
his ideas and in his business. There are
other kinds of walks besides these men
toned, and each style of stride tells
something about the mans character.

Peruna is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters of congra tuiatiOn
and commendatio testifying to the
merits of Peruna as a catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State in the
Union. Dr.. Hartman is receiving hun
drcds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters. from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer. the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher all agree that Pcruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is Tvellnigh universal; almost ON
nipresent. Peruna is the only absolute
safeguard known. A cold is the be-
ginning of catarrh. To prevent colds.
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
its victims. Peruna not only cures ca
tarrh, but preventsit. Every household
should be supplied with this greatrem-
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.
