How Animals Woo.

The courtship of animals is no less ln-

most curious animal courtship, perhaps,
&c that of the male deer, who resorts 10
perfumes. Deer have certain skin GLANDS
which, at the mating season, secrete
certain creamy matter which has pun
gent odor.
Wife by capture is the law among MD

distinguished English naturalist, VINO mas

of the courtship of animals.
The manner in which the peacock
preens itself and displays itself when
searching for a bride has often been COM
mented upon. The strangest bird court
ship, however. is that OF the lesser BIRDS
OF paradise, who hold dancing parties al
which the male birds work themselves up
TO a state bordering on frenzy and attract
the females by uttering loud, penetrating
cries. ,.
The crane is another bird which dances
for his love and makes her many gracelhi
bows. while manikins-birdS largely iound
in South Anerica-dance in pairs and sing
at the same time. The male birds stand
upon twig about foot and a hall from
each other and literally jump in The air
about two feet and land in the same spot
on the twig with the regularity OF clock
work, repeating short melody as they
do this, which presumably fasclnateS ana
