The Llama With a Saddle.

Tn his native country the llama is trained as beast of burden, and in this capacity is very useful for, hard and wiry by nature, he can carry as much as 160 pounds. As mount, too, he Is quite easy to train. Indeed, !, both the llama and the oneiko take to the saddle as to the manner born when once they have assured them selves that their teacher wishes them well. Their most striking peculiarity as saddle animals, however, Is strong objection to having their heads in any way pulled about by their riders. So long as their mouths are left alone they will amble along quite contented- ly at fair rate of speed, but if they are ridden by some one with heavy hand they show tendency to stop at once, whipping round in manner dis tinctly disconcerting to those who do not quite realize what is going to hap pen.-Wide World Magazine.
