n the Ladies' Home Journal

II n the Ladies' Home Journal q
writer says: 1.-THE earliest mine
laws were enacted not by Congress but
by the miners themselves, as it is a
curious fact that from 1896 the period
of the greatest development in the
mining of gold, there was no law Of
the United States regulating the sub
ject. The prospectors roamed over
the public lands, located placer or
quartz mines and took out a fabulous
store of gold without any title what
ever to the lands from which they dug
this great store of wealth." In later
days We have laws, but where they
are made in each district prospectorsr
locators and miners are better salts
fed.

THE DEER's HORNS.

They Present all the Phenomena of
r. ~ Animal and Vegetable Growth.
Why and how is the deer so peculiar
ly unlike any other Of the bovine race,
the horn differing SO materially from
all the horned cattle in it's composition,
growth, maturity and decline? It pre-
sents all the phenomena of animal and
vegetable growth. 1t sprouts from the
brain without any prolongation Of the
frontal bone. It rises and breaks
through the sinews and takes root on
the bone, growing the same as a vege-
table. 1t is nourished by and secretes
albumen upon the surface and disposes
Of the fibrine the same as an animal.
! 1t is clothed with a skin and hairy
coat very different from that on the
rest of the body. This covering and
hair possess property unknown in
other animal bodies-that of being a
styptic to stanch it's own blood when
wounded. It carries marks Of the age
on the buck by putting out an extra
branch each year, which shows an ad-
ditional power. each. year to produce
n 5IACAA"t tSxaAu tl4S pOWSA 0OtS AoG C-AASt
in the female. So this difference is
more distinctly marked than in any
other class of animals. Again, the horn
possesses properties unknown in any
other animal matter. It is entirely in
odorous, capable Of resisting putrefac-
+ ton and almost impervious to the ef-
fects Of the atmosphere.
Z And still water at 300 degrees F. will
dissolve these horns readily, even
though they are not soluble in alcohol
/, and resist the action of acids and alka-
. lies, It Is the only vegeto animal sub
stance that we know of that does not
sperpetuate itself BY procreation.
The male and the female are sustain
I'd BY the same nutrition and elements,
|. and the male only produces horns. This
/ pheno onlenon is quite as much of curl
\ osity as the absence of the horn in the
buck after shedding.

many would be horsernen to think it
does not pay to raise horses.
! have in mind a successful horse
breeder who claims he made more
money In breeding horses than In any
thing be ever undertook for the amount
invested and says he owes his success
largely to the selecting Of sires and
always keeping his stock In show con-
dition.. He has quite frequently gone
10. miles to stallion and has the last
three years been going 20 miles, owing
to the fact that he is unable to find
his model of horse any closer.
1t would be wise for us who are not

'"The maple wood used in making the
handles is sawed into suitable lengths
and seasoned. The logs are then split
into pieces from which the handles are
made. These pieces are called bolts.
The bolts are sawed approximately to
the shape Of the handle to be finally
made, and in this shape they are han
die blocks. The handle block is turned
to the shape Of the handle in a lathe,
and when the butt has been fitted it is
finished and polished
The finest and best cues are. fitted
to the handle or butt by means Of a
