HOUSEHOLD.

DAINTY BREAKFAST DIsH.-A
dainty breakfast dish may be made In
this way: TO cold corned o. roast
beef, minced and freed from gristle and
strings, add an equal quantity of mash
ed or sliced boiled potatoes. Mix well
together and season with pepper and
salt. Put into a frying-pan large cup
full of boiling water, with half as much
gravy franz which tue fat has been
Skinned, and a teaspoonful OF made
mustard If you haze no gravy, sub
stitute soup stock or a cupful OF soup
left over from yesterday. Boil up brisk
ly before stirring In the chopped meat
and potato. Toss an stir until the con-
tents or the pan are bubbling, smoking
heap. Be careful that the hash Is not
too stiff. Add more boiling water
should the meat and potato absorb the
liquid too rapidly, and do not let the
hash stick to the bottom Of the pan.
The country housekeeper who has
plenty OF butter can improve this dish
by stirring a tablespoonful into
The hot water and gravy. Ii you have
neither gravy nor stock, double the
quantity OF butter, dissolving it in the
boiling water. Serve in deep covered
dish.

THE AURORA IN ALASKA.
Sometimes Visible in Winter Even
When the MONDAY SUN
is Shining.

During the winter months the aurora
on the Yukon is very brilliant and in
tensely beautiful. 1t commences early
in the fall, and lasts with more or less
brilliancy throughout the long Arctic
winter Ii generally commences upon
the setting of the sun, although in mid
winter it has at times been so bright
that it was visible at noon while the sun
was shining brightly. The rays of
light first shoot forth with a quick,
luivering motion, are then gathered
and form a great arch of fire spanning
the heavens. 1t glows for an instant
ike girdle of FURNISHED gold. then un-
folding great curtains OF light 'rop
forth. THESE royal mantles OF br ght
orange, green, pink, rose, yellow and
crimson are sus. ended and waved be-
tween heaven and earth as with an in
visible hand. The rapid gyrations and
.cintillations o light and blending
rolors are intensely bewildering and su
perbly beautiful
The whole phenomena of waving
wrea hs. fiickering fumes, rays, cur
iains, fringes, bandsand flashing colors;
the strange confusion of light and mo-
lion, now high in the heavens, then
dropping like curtains of gold and sill
yer lace sparkling with wealth of ru-
bies, sapphires, emeraldS and diamonds,
penetrating dark gulches and darting
through somber green forests, lighting
the whole landscape as with thousand
electric lamps, forms picture OF which
words can convey but a very poor idea.
This unwarming light, as it flashes
along the frozen rivers, the great banks
of snow, and reveals the huge noun
tains of glistening ice and the black
lines of fir, indeed is of the purest arctic
caste, and causes one TO button his coat
closer over his chest and with a shiver
he is glad to seek light of far less bril-
llancy, but one of life giving warmth.
At the breaking up of winter the
hours of sunshine are rapidly increasing,
and continue so until midsummer when
the sun beams forth twenty-five hours
out of twenty-four, while on the high
mountain peaks it is for a period of
several days in June not entirely out OF
sight during the twenty-four hours.
During the months Of July and August
the weather becomes very warm, and
even hot, and miners are glad to seek a
shady retreat in which to do their labor.
After this period the hours of sunshine
gradually decrease until during the
shortest days the sun shines but four
hours out of the twenty-four. But at
this period the aurora is most intense
and helps very materially in driving
darkness from this dreary land. The
thermometer goes down to seven de-
grees in winter, but the atmosphere is
very dry, and consequently the cold is
not so perceptible as one would
imagine.

DR.. Karl Peterson, of the Tromso
Museum, Maintains that from the ex-
periance we have gained of late it may
be safely assumed that the Polar basin
IS not during the whole Summer OF
Autumn covered with continu-
Gus ice. 1t is, in fact, evident that the
sea shows large tracts of open spaces
during these seasons. These are the
only reasons advanced: The ocean ice
Lorth OF Spitzbergen is then always in
a constant-at times even violent
STATE of drifting in the most varied
directions. At times, too, the ice has
been found to drift in direction con-
trary to those OF currents and winds.
North of Spitzbergen there must, there
fore, during certain periods of these
seasons, be large tracts of open water
which are capable OF receiving the
enormous ice masses in the drift,

The London Mechanics Mdqdzine
states that there are very extensive
works at Stepney Green, London, In
which great quantities of artificial
leather, is manufactured. In appear
ance it resembles common leather, and
it is only by very close scrutiny that
the distinction between them is detect
ed. 1t is manufactured in webs fifty
yards in length and four and a half in
breadth, and Is now much used for
book-binding and several other pur-
poses for which tanned calf and
sheep leather are employed by us. IL
is also used by Saddlers for making
harness. and it may be made of any
thickness desirable, and is incapable of
being stretched or cemented. India
rubber Is the principal substance of its
composition, but there are other in
gradients mixed with it whereby its
leather qualities are secured. The
method OF making it is kept secret: but
that such substance is manufactured
sold, and used in large quantities. is a
fact of too great Importance to be
overlooked.

Near the close of the eighth century
Charlemagne ordered the construction,
over the Rhine, of a bridge resting on
twenty-eight buttresses. The bridge
was struck by lightning aud burnt to
the level of the water. German engi-
neers are now removing the remains OF
the old structure, on the Mayence side.
They have already taken out fifty piles,
with the lengths of five or six meters
[5 ass to 6.J62 yards). The wood,
which is nearly eleven hundred years
old. is so well preserved that it can
still be used In building; the iron,
which was riveted to the posts, can
also be used. since it is covered only
with thin layer of rust.

Observation-Disclosures

A railroad superintendent has
given an estimate of the cost
of an average tram on q fir e
class railroad: For an express train,
locomotive, $4,000; baggage car,
5000; smoking car, $1,000; dining-room
car, Sl2 900; five first-class Pullmans,
$4,000 each; total. 100000. The
ordinary express trains represents
about $4,000. Some Pullman cars
cost $50, 600 each. The average value
of freight train is still greater than
that of passenger train If the rolling
stock and value of property are included.
aggregate in value from $3.50, 600 to
$500. 000.
