Preservation of Horns 7 3 



Articles of this nature in a room with horn-furniture and a few 

 good stuffed heads on the walls, and pictures of deer in frames 

 made of stags' horns, combine to form a very striking gentleman's 

 study. It is, however, necessary to resort to Vienna to get the work 

 done in proper Continental style, as there is little demand for such 

 work in London. 



The tushes of stags are mounted in many ways as scarf-pins, 

 or scarf safety-pins, groups for ladies' ornaments, etc.; hinds' tushes 

 are used as buttons. 



The long hair growing round the necks of stags in winter, and 

 called the beard, will make up into aigrettes to wear at the back 

 of the hat for sportsmen on the Continent, or into ladies' hat- 

 ornaments ; and I have lately seen quite pretty objects for ladies' 

 hats made of stags' "beards" in Paris, looking almost like birds' 

 plumes.
