How Deer Shed Their Horns.


The deer native to Colorado is called the
black tailed deer. or mule deer, to distin-
guish it from the east ern deer, which 10
known as the white tailed variety. Colo
RADIOS native deer are similar 10 those found
in California, with the exception that their
ears are very large. The horns Of these ami
mails are deeduous, ami drop Off every
spring, growing on again during the sum-
mer These monster horns drop off the
same way and grow on again within five
months. While they are growing they are
covered with hair and skin, and are spoken
of as being ain the velvet" In the fall the
horns attain their full growth, and the
velvet dries and peals of. The horns then
come out clean ani fresh.
When horn has attained It's full growth
for one season a ring Of knotty protuber-
ances forms around the base Of the horn,
and in so doing check, the supply OF nour-
ishment from which emanstes the velvet ON

period the deer rub their horns as IL they
itched and were glad to be relieved. The

Tho Mount ain Sheep In Colorado.
Denver Tribune Republican


The Big Horn or mountain sheep Is
noble-looking animal, with a fine face and
iquii brown eyes They are very inds-
pendent, and utterly refuss the advances
Of civilization They scale the highest rocks
AMI cliffs to avoid human beings. No
height Is mac ccessible to them. They are
so sure-footed that 1t Is related Of them that
they jump vast distances from one preci-
pice to another and light on their horns,
This is scarcely possible. as the sheep are
very heavy, frequently weighing $50
pounds, and the shock produced in these
legendary leaps would be certain death to
them. The truth Is they are so quick and
agile that they can descend In an almost
incredibly short space of Tins. They are
rarely seen except ut great distances
away, and their achievements arc conse-
quentiy indistinct.
They are sometimes forced down In BE-
we're weather, but few Of them are ever
killed, as they are 50 wild and so feet OF
foot In captivity they are valuable and
rare, as they are beautiful specimens, and
their meat In desirable. The heads OF
large rams are much sought after by col
lsctor', and are very handsome.

OF Edinburgh, reveals an incident in his life
which Is probably not known by many. at least
IN this country. He says one service which
Mr.. Brown rendered at this time to literature is
worthy of special commemoration. The poet
Robert Pollock, had attended his ministry as a
secession student of divinity, and for the first
time had essayed to preach In his pulpit. M
Brown had all along recognized his genius. and
when the shy and meancholic author of the
Course Of Time, already depressed by consump-
ton, confided to him the Ms Of that wonderful
production, he not only Jbeered him with IN
bounded praise but zoslously negotiated with
Mr.. Blackwood for its publication. Hesoothed
WIN the tenderest sympathy every stage of the
descent Of the poet to his early grave and in
conjunction with friend, DR.. John Belfrage
OF Slstetord, made all those arrangements Tor
his removal to warmer climate which death
interrupted ere he left the shores of England. -

Charmed by Pretty Frida.

Frida Frledman's pretty face and
engaging manners, says the New York
jouFnal, won her many admirers dur
ing her voyage across tbs 4 Atlantic as
steerage passenger on the steamship
Belgenland, from Antwerp. Her large
blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and her ex-
auisitely nodded form, combined with
q mass of golden hair, made her the
belle of the steerage. -.
She took the attentions pleasantly
and chatted gayly with all who came
in her way. She made many friends,
and among her ardent admirers was
Rudolph Strauss, one OF the Belgen-
lands engineers. Every moment he
could snatch from his work he spent
at the fair Frida's side.
She liked his huge black whiskers and
dark eyes, and listened to his de-
scripptions OF America with wrapt at
tentien. When she arrived at Castle
Garden, Strauss GANG boldly forward

''s.May be, after I've known her long

"Well, you'd better GET right out OF
here" advised the superintendent.
Strauss didn't wait for second in.
vitation, but buried away. A few
minutes later another Individual who
claimed to be philanthropist ARRIVED
and asked for the fair Frida. He said
he had come on the Relgenland, and,
fearing she might not be treated well,
would take her to Passaic, N. j !, until
she got aplace. His name, he said, was
! Henry Frank.
He likewise was advised to depart,
and did SO. Scarcely had he gone
