Sees Profit in LIamas.

A visitor to the Geological Gardens
a few days ago made so many and so
pertinent inquiries about the llamas
kept there that the curiosity Of the
keeper in charge of that particular
part of the garden was aroused, says
the Philadelphia Press.
He finally asked why the questions
were being asked. The man, who re-
fused to give his name, said that, if
he could get the animals at anything
like a reasonable figure, he thought of
making the experiment of stocking his
ranch in the West with them. From
letters written to South American
friends, he said, he had learned that
he could probably get a sufficient
number for the experiment at a cost
of not more than $50 each. AS they
are fairly good wool growers, he said
that there ought to be more profit in
them at this price than the same num-
Der of sheep. In his opinion, the
fleece of the llama is as good as that
of the camel for manufacturing u
poses.

Come rel to loo'ard a minute,
sir" whispered the mate; I've some
thing to say to YOU
Captain Lord gazed disapprovingly
at the idle sails tapping against the
masts and followed the mate to the
rail amidships.
There's q mutiny hatchin' in the
fo'castle," said the mate in a low
voice; they think the passengers have
money with EN- and mean to seize the
brig"

skipper. There's no chance for us

The skipper, greatly perturbed, went
below to consult with the passengers,
and the mate, with an iron Delaying
pin up his sleeve, paced the quarter
deck.
The brig Palos had sailed on an un-
usual voyage. An incoming vessel had
reported to the owners the discovery
of a small island off the South Ameri-
can coast which gave evidences of a
deposit of guano. The report was
vague and barren of detail, but the
house deemed it worth while investi-
eating, and the Palos was sent out,
bearing DR.. Hugh Bland, an analytical
chemist of repute in the way of guano.
He chose to invite Professor Euclid
Simpson, a profound mathematician,
to be his companion on the voyage
Not that he anticipated much call for
mathematics on the island, but the
professor was always accompanied by
his daughter, Miss Annie, and con-
corning her future DR.. Bland had some
ideas which, so far, he had not dared
breach to the professor. On such a
voyage an opportunity might arise.
The night passed without event, but
in the afternoon the mate took the
skipper aside and whispered:
TITS comm off tonight, cap'n.

gate the brig. 1 hate to do it, but it's

were as docile as a flock of sheen.

a studious looking younger man. the
ex-mutineers saw a piratical old bravo

Apropos of the appearance of Julia

revived this tale of a country editor,
and a farmer whose speciality was
horses. The tale is n Of many to

the animals as they deserve to be

Thick name, thick tail. broad bullock,
tender hide,

not lack.
Save a proud rider on so proud a back.
