DEER HORNS AS MEDICINE.
This Queer Remedy Is In Use In the Flow
cry Kingdom.

This Queer Remedy Is In Use In the Flow
cry Kingdom.
Deer horns are used by the Chinese for
medical purposes, and consequently the
value to Chinaman of pair Of horns
depends upon the quantity Of the medic
inal property contained in them. This
property, which may almost be called
the virtue, is said to be greater in
the young horns, and to get rarer as the
horns grow older. The deer from which
the horns are obtained are a true species
of deer, the females having no horns,
and this, as Darwin has pointed out III
1.-THE Descent of Man, is the case with
oil binds "f deer proper. the reindeer
only excepted. In substance the horns
are not horny like the horns of Il COW or
an antelope, but are, when young, COM
posed of q very delicate venous sub
stance, covered with velvety coating,
and when old are osscous rather than
callus.
For somo months after they begin
growing they are very tender, and the
deer, not liking to touch them against
branches of trees or bushes, q thing they
are almost sure to do in the forest, will
remain in the open, deserting cover, and
SO many times exposing themselves to
greater dangers than the ones they flee
from. After time, as the horns grow
older, the velvet covering begins to peel
off, and while doing SO causes an irritat-
ing, itching feeling, that makes the deer
rub them against twigs, mossy bark OF
any other yielding substance not hard
enough to hurt. This rubbing assists the
velvet to peel off, and the horns then
enter the second or intermediate stage
They are no longer tender, nor are they
SO hard as they eventually become, but
are still going through process of de-
velopment
Eventually their growth is perfected,
they stand for a time, are shed, to be re-
| placed by new ones, and become the
property of the first forester or hunter
who has the good fortune to find them.
These shed horns, together with any
horns taken from deer when they were
approaching the time of shedding have
reached the third or final stage and are
the least valuable. e.-Chinese Imperia

'TWASN'T OBSCENE LANGUAGE.
Such Was TIL. Finding of The jury In the
Lewis Case saturday.
Justice Mckinley had an interesting
case before him Saturday afternoon and
there was a large crowd present to hear

ants.
The defense demanded july trial

claiming that the language used was
not obscene in its nature. which the
justice overruled and the case proceed

stand and testified that Mr.. Lewis came
to her house on the date mentioned and

She told the defendant she had return
ed all the letters to him: that he
called her d ID liar and further
that he applied vile epithet to her.
The testimony OF the plaintiif was sub
stan tiated by her two sons who heard
the conversation. Attorney Helwig
put his client on the stand who admit
! ted having called Mrs. Christopher a
liar and questioned the fact that she
was lady. The attorney endeavored
to introduce some evidence in refer
ence to the letters. which the Christie
pliers found, and which be says they
neigh borhood. These were letters
written by the wife Of Lewis before
they were married. The court, how
ever ruled out some of the letter testi-
mony. After the argument by the
attorneys, in which they endeavored TO
to show what was obscene language and
what was not, the case was given to tie
jury and after mature delibcration they
returned 4 verdict of not guilty Sev-
eral members OF the jury claim that the
evidence did not show that the Ian.
guage used was obscene in legal phra.
