What Trlpe Is.

Occasionally you see man order tripe
at hotel, but he always looks bard, as
though he hated himself and everybody
else. He tries to look as though he en-
joyed it, but he does not. Tripe is indi-
gestible, and looks like an india.rubber
apron for child to sit on. When it is
picked it looks like dirty clothes put to-
soak, and wen it is cooking dish cloth
On the table it looks like glue, and tastes
like piece of oil silk umbrella cover. A
stomach that is not lined with corrugated
iron would be turned wrong side out by
the smell of tripe. A man eating tripe
at hotel table looks like an Arctic ex-
plorer dining on boots or chewing pieces
of frozen raw dog. You cannot look at a
man eating tripe but he will blush and
look as though he wanted to apologize
and convince you he is taking it to tone
up his system. A woman never eats
tripe. There is not money enough III the
the world to hire a woman to take cor
ner of a sheet of tripe in her teeth and
try to pull off piece. Those who eat
tripe are men who have had their
stomachs play mean tricks on them, and
they eat tripe to get even with their
stomachs, and then they go and take o
Turkish bath to sweat it out of the sys.
tenn. Tripe is superstition handed
down from former generation oi
butchers, who sold all the meat and kept
the tripe for themselves and the dogs
but dogs of the present day will not cal
tripe. You throw pieces OF tripe dowr
In front of dog. and see if he does moi
put his tail between his legs and go of
and hate you. Tripe may Lave value
but it is not as food. It may be good .te

cement and chilled steel, or it nigh
answer to use as q breast plate in time O

Nature in Siberia.

1.-The history of animal and vegetable
life on the tundra" says the author, sis
very curious one. For eight months
out of the twelve every trace of vegeta-
BILE life is completely hidden under q
blanket six feet thick of snow, which
effectually covers every plant and bush
trees there are none to hide. During
six months OF this time, at least, animal
life is only traceable by the footprints of
reindeer or q fox on the snow, or by
the occasional appearance of raven or
snow owl, wandering above the limits of
forest growth, where it has retired for
the winter. For two months IN mid
winter the sun never rises above the
horizon, and the white snow reflects
only the fitful light of the moon. the
stars or the aurora borealis. Early in
February the sun only just peeps upon
the scene for few minutes at noon, and
then retires. Day by day he prolongs
his visit more and more, until February,
March, April and May have passed, and
continuous night has become continuous
day. Early in june the sun only just
touches the horizon at midnight, but
does not set any more for some time. AT
midday the suns rays are hot enough to
blister the skin; but they glance harm
lessly from the snow, and for few days
you have the anomaly of unbroken day
| in mid winter.
s'Then comes the south wind, and
often rain, and the great event of the
year takes place-the ice on the grea
rivers breaks up, and the blanket o
snow melts away. The black earth ab
serbs the heat ot the never. setting sun
quietly but swiftly vegetable life awak
ems from its long sleep, and for thre
months hotsummer produces brillian
Alpine fora, like an English flower gar
den run wild. and profusion of Alpin
fruit, diversified only By storms from tn
north, which sometimes for day or tw'
bring cold and rain down from the Arcti
Chambers journal.

such donations, know not; but once
inaugurated, it has grown into curious
subject of speculation. One lady after
another. goes hugging these devices,
and various are the ideas adopted, as
each dealer strives after novely. So we
sec vases, birds, dogs, cats, babies in
baskets, and know not what. The COM
pany presents packages of these leaves
deity bound together with fine wire. and
the garlands, bouquets, or any other
wall ornament. Lis this not worthy of
the nineteenth century? Then, as to
Christmas, Easter and birthday cards
which are sent and received by the
thousand, what may not be done? What
is not being done with them? They are
ranged on mantle pieces, cover ones
tables and brackets. till Ingenuity is
busy contriying unlocked for uses.
Some cover fancy boxes with them,
others make variously shaped stands
for them; and thus disposed of, they
make pretty enough wall ornaments.
