How the Stag Change, HI. Antisr..

How the Stag Changes His AntIers.
With the loss OF the antlers the stag
changes his disposition entirely and be-
comes as docile and tractable as a
lamb. He shows an inclination to court
public petting rather than avoid II. He
remain in this condition of temper IN
til the beginning of March, when he
shows a disposition to Turk in seques-
tered spots Of the glen and timidly
avoid the presence of all, even of his
kind.
During this period, on the spot where
he late antlers were, a pair of pro-
tuberances make their appearance, Gov
cred with a soft, dark, velvety skin.
These attain a considerable growth in
a few days. The carotid arteries of
these protuberances enlarge with them
In order to supply a suficiency of nour-
ishment.
When the new antlers have attained
their full growth, which is in ten weeks
after the old ones have been shed, the
bony rings at the base through which
the antlers pass begin to thicken, and,
gradually filling up, compress the blood
vessels and ultimately obliterate them.
The velvety skin that surrounds the
bone, being thus deprived of nourish-
ment, loses its vitality and is rubbed
off in shreds by the stag on the edges
of rocks or other hard substances.
As soon as the full size of the antlers
is attained the docile disposition of the
elk disappears, and he becomes once
more for the year the fierce king of the
glen.
The age of the elk, according to writ
ers on natural history, is computed by
the number of points on the antlers.-

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks
an epoch in the life of the individual.
Such a remarkable event is treasured in
the memory and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is CRATE.

is heard in praise Of Electric Bitters. So
many feel they owe their restoration to
health to the use OF the Great Alternative

For the cure of epilepsy, or the falling
sickness, numerous are the charms that
have been invented. A very common
remedy among the poor people about
London, and particularly in Essex, was
der to procure three drops of blood,
which are to be taken in a spoonful OF
milk and repeated three days success

the composition it lost its efficacy. The
patients also were to creep head fore

has led to unfortunate results in many

that the people elect the saloon
keeper by BALLOT and be paid sal

rived from its sale be paid into tho

no more whisky sold than undor
