ACCORDING to the account of Il re-
cent visitor in st. Petersburg, winter
in Russia is quite different from Win
ter in America. 1t commences early
in November, when the days and
nights are almost of equal temperature.
The sun is not on duty long enough to
accomplish mlch he rises about nine
and sets before three. The snow is not
deep, nor are the storms severe; but
ii SHOWS II little almost constantly. No.
body seems to mind il, nobody carries
an umbrella, 1t is swept from cross
ings and streets, but seldom impcdes
travel The mercury, however, runs
down Il good distance-to thirty, forty,
and perhaps fifty degrees, for days To-
gcther But Russians prepare for Win
ter, and are very comfortable during
its reign. They make their houses
tight, and build huge fires every where,
and apparently do not suffer with the
cold.
Canning fruit has become an extern
sive industry. The peach-packing
establishments are chiefly in Maryland

have been packed. Maine furnishes
the best corn, where also are situated
the largest lobster establishments.
Oysters are put up in great quantities
along the Chesapeake. Pine-apples
are largely canned at Nassau, Bahama
Islands. In fact almost any kind of
fruit or vegetable may now be obtained
for table use in the winter season 50
canned as to preserve very perfectly
the natural fresh flavor.
Dir. SIMON, II physician of Lorraine,
gives new cure for boils, by treating
them with camphorated alcohol. As
soon rs the eliminating point OF boil
makes its appearance, he puts 4 little
of the liquid in - saucer, and dipping
the ends of his little fingers with ii,
rubs the intlamed surface, especially
the central part, repeating the opera
tons eight or ten times for about half
minute. He then allows the surface
to dry, placing over it slight coating
of camphorated olive oil He says that
four such applications will, in almost
all cases, cause boils to dry up and dis
appear. The application should be
made at morning, noon and evening.

CABBAGE leaves, according to a re-
cent article in French medical Jour-
nal, have proved of especial value in
disease. The leaf possesses the prop
erty of exciting suppuration in ulcers
and pustulcs, and has thus an Indirect
~ curative property, which, however,
Is thought not to consist in any princi-
pie which the leaf yields for absorb
ton, but rather in an affinity which
the leaf has for the Initiated secretions.
The cure of an ulcer by these leaves,
however wi le-spread and long-stand-
ing it may be, is without danger, and
relapse is very rare.
