Fishskin Tartars.

The skin of the fish does not suggest Itself as a suitable material for the making of clothes, yet it is used for this purpose by tribe of Tartars in Manchuria. They inhabit the banks of the Pcony river and live by fishing and hunting. During the past 100 years they have become nearly extinct owing to the invasion of their domain by agricultural Chinese. They are known as Fishskin Tartars. The fish they use is the tamara, species of salmon. Both the flesh and the skin of the fish are supposed to possess wonderful heat giving properties.-Ch cago Journal.

ROCK SALT AND RHYME.

ROCK SALT AND RHYME.
To hobble or not to hobs,e
That is the question.
Whether It's nobler in the mind
suffer
The bows and hamperings of outrag
Gus fashion
Or to use sense against some unseen
troubles
And in my dressing end them? To
slip, to fall
No more. And by slip we may be-
A tumble that shall hold thous-
and awful shocks
The flesh is heir tots consumma-
ton
Devotedly to be wished. To slip to fall.
To fall. perchance to bump headfrst
into some horrid sidewalk
Or the plebian host AYE there's the
rub.
For in that bump may come the hand
of death
And by new dress shall be total
loss.
And that calamity ne'er could stand
Thus conscience doth make towards
of us all
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied DER with the pale cast of
thought
And questions of great pith and mo-
ment,
With this regard their currents turn
away,
And lose the name of action"
Get thee hence-I'll wear my hobble
if l die.
