use may be made of tho little portions
left from dinner while vegetables arc
abundant and cooked in profusion. A
few cars Ct boiled corn, saved each

This boiled corn, cut from the car care
fully and dried upon plato in the
oven, keeps perfectly, and is not much
worse in uary than in Autumn. To-
matoes, SQUASH, pumpkin and other
vegetables may be first stewed and then
similarly dried. If properly dried they
will keep in paper bag, bat air-tight

A wealthy Russian merchant named
Sibiriakoif has expended largo sums Of
money in cndcavoriny to reach the YEN
isci river in Siberia by tho northern
water route. He has always failed,
while British sea captlia named Wig.
gi2s has successfully mado three trips
and has rcccatly started on fourth.
Virgins states that tho Russians fail
urc is due to tho fact that the ships
employed by him were not fit FOR such
voyage and got caught in the ic'.
The Russian government has shown its
appreciation OF Captain Virgins en-
tcrprisc in opening tho rorthcrn route
by granting him special trading, priyi-
leges for five years. The profits of the
trade are said to be enormous. A first
