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
we'll. Their most striking popularity
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 a tendency to stop at
once, whipping round in manner dis

Pussy and The BURGLAR.

A good dog has hitherto been con-
sidered the best protection against bur
glars. but d certain old lady differs
from this view She believes in cats,
and, her house being broken into not
long ago. she proceeded to put her
theory into practice, and with marvel
ously good results. The midnight hour
had not long struck when she heard
unusual sounds in the hall below. She
slipped out Of bed. took her faithful
feline in her arms and walked quietly
on to the landing. She leaned over.
The burglar was on the stairs. Sud-
denly in an unlucky moment he struck
a match upon the staircase. The lady
could see the burglar, but the burglar
could not see the lady. She held puss
up and then dropped her upon the bur-
glars head The cat uttered an un-
earthly screech and then commenced
to scratch for all it was worth. Puss
was certainly the willing worker. The
next instant the man was outside in

in Chelsea. was met in the hall by
Mrs. Whistler. who begged him to go
to the poulterer's and purchase pound
of butter. The bread was cut. but
there was nothing to put upon it.
There was no money in the house. the
poulterer had cut off his credit, and
Mrs. Whistler said ''she dared not send

Sand Swept Asia.

In the. arid lands Of central Asia the
air is reported as often laden with
fine detritus, which drifts like snow
around conspicuous objects and tends
to bury them in dust drift. Even
when there is no apparent wind the
air is described as thick with fine dust,

so obscures the sun that at midday

Seattle, Dec 13.-News is anXiously
awaited concerning the fate of the 10e
persons on the steamship Olympia
which went on the rocks at the south
eastern end of Blight island, Prince
William sound, Alaska, during a furi
GUS storm, Steamers and launches are
!hurrying to the aid of the vessel from
Seward, Valdez and Katalla and if the
gale permits the passengers should
reach Valdez in few hours.
Latest dispatches from Cordova and
Valdez say that no word has been re-
ceived from the wireless operator on
the Olympia that would indicate that
any of the rescuing craft had arrived
The only means of communication be-
tween Seattle and Cordova and Valdez
is by military cable, operated by the
United States army signal corps.
The last word received by the opera
tor at the naval wireless station at
Cordova was that the passengers and
crew were still aboard the Olympia
which was being pounded and tossed
about on the sharp rocks by the
heavy seas. On account CT the fury of
the storm the passengers will not at.
tempt to take to the small boats I'm.

hold together no longer.

In spite of the fact that the Olym-
pia was being tossed violently and the
wireless was worked with difficulty
to reach the operator on duty at the
naval wireless station at Cordova with
his calls for assistance. The oper-
ators kept in touch with each other as
much as possible, but there were dis
