WORK 0F HOME
 POWER CO.

The work of the Home Power com pany is being pushed with the utmost speed and the ditch between Lake Dew ey and the reservoir is now under way. The work of excavating is very slow owing 10 the fact that formation of boulders has been encountered requir- ing a large amount Of blasting, and the scarcoty Of blasting powder in this vicinity has helped 10 cause a delay In the progression Of the work. The lake will be connected by an IS inch pipe part of the way and an aqusduct the balance of the way. This will be con- structed of three inch timber and will be from two to three thousand feet in length.

Fairbanks Times; Among the min ing camps being prospecied at the pres, ent time, the Koyukuk country seems to be the most popular, There are many old timers as we'll as a few che chacos from here going into this region and the camp seems to be growing more popular every day.

NEW VEGETABLES N MARKET.
Hostess Has Opportunity to sersS
Novelties to Her Guests.

The hostess who likes to serve
novelties at her table should make
the most of the odd vegetables and
fruits now on sale.
The yam, or Brazilian sweet patato.
Is increasing in favor. One exhibited
recently in the window OF q fancy
grocer was more than a foot in length,
with an average circumference OF ten
inches. The price asked was rs cents.
Any recipe for the cooking OF the
sweet potato may be applied to the
yam. II should be boiled FIRST and
sailed, when It is ready for serving
in any OF several different ways.
A tropical vegetable now shown Is
the chayarette. II Is somewhat sim
liar In general shape to the green pep
per. II is, however, more 1eshy In
side, and In color is a very faint
green, almost white in some places.
The chRyarette should be boiled
first. then sliced, rolled In crumbs
and fried. When so served the ap.
peRraDce Is not unlike diminutive
slices Of fried egg plant Served cold
and mixed with green peppers and
celery the chayarette may be used as
a salad.
The Egyptian melon is another con
spicuous novelty of the fruiterer and
fancy grocer. Fine specimens Of this
melon may be seen suspended in a
network Of cord In some Of the win
dows.

REMEDY FOR TORN MATING.
Darn with coIors Of Rama to Match
Straw.

OFTEN I'm moving a heavy piece Of
furniture the mating on the floor will
have an ugly hole torn In it. The torn
place is usually where It IL the most
noticeable and cannot be covered with
a rug. There is an excellent way to
remedy this defect by darning the
place with raffia OF colors to match the
mating straw. IL is much better than
threads and the work can be neatly
done IL may be necessary to run
heaVy cords across the work through
"hlch the raftia is to be woven The
threads are sewed In place with large
darning needle. Torn places on the
edge OF mating can be remedied in
the same manner. 1t IL best to sew
mating together with a loose stitch.
using very heavy linen thread for the
purpose. but where this cannot be
done then use the regular mating
lacks or ordinary tacks, placing first
one side, then the opposite side to pre-
vent the baggy appearance which so
OFTEN occurs. Never use a claw ham
mer to lift lacks from mating. since II
invariably breaks the straw. Get an
old blunt chissl, place II beneath the
mating and tack head, pound gently
with the hammer and pry the tack up.
This will draw the tack out straight
and leave the mating unbroken. II
mating is used in a room during the
winter. cover the floor with paper COW
ering and pad lightly with newspapers.
The cold air cannot penetrate a floor
covering OF that kind.

Suited to an Anarchist.

Cornelius V. Collins, New York's
superintendent of state prisons, said
at a recent dinner in Troy:
Then there is the faddist type of
prison warden, the man with some
hobby or other that he quite runs into
the ground.
Il know one such warden. 1t is his
hobby to give to his prisoners con-
genial work-work which they like
and are accustomed to.
He said one day to a new convict:
Young man, I see that you are
sentenced to hard labor Now in pro-
viding you with work shall take your
former occupation into account What
were your
An anarchist, SIR the convict re-
piled
'Ahem,' said the warden, turning

SERVING Crackers

o. The hostess who is ever on the look
out for novelties for her afterpoon tea
table should be sure to serve her
crackers IN little baskets made OF
themselves.
Use sailed waters for the basket,
allowing one to side, and tying them
together with q narrow satin ribbon
about quarter of an inch in width.
Put this on a handsome plate COW
cred with lace dolly and pile the
other crackers in and around it.
The effect is charming and will be
much admired.
One hostess used these cracker
baskets as corner pieces on her
luncheon table. In the center were
purple asters, while the crackers were
tied with purple ribbon the same
shade and were filled with purple and
white grapes.

WAYS OF PREPARING FRUIT.
Apples and Pears Of Great Value, Both
Cooked and Unceoksd

These fruits are both useful and
wholesome. An apple eaten raw the
first thing in the morning will be bene-
ncial to those who suffer from consti-
patton. Baked apples are also good
for the same purpose, and are easier
OF digestion than when uncooked.
They are very good for children for
either breakfast or supper. and may be
varied by sometimes simply baking
them on tin, and afterwards Sprink-
ling them with sugar; and At others,
peeling, taking out the cores with an
apple corer, filling the hole with sugar
and putting 4 few cloves and a little
water into the Jar; when nllsd with
apples, tie 1t over with brown paper
and put IN the oven TIL the apples are
cooked. Some sorts take so much
longer than others that we cannot
give time ror them. Pears cooked in
the same way are very nice. Apple
tea is very pleasant drink. much ap-
preciated by children. It is made by
boiling apples, cut in half with SUN
Client water to cover them. some
sugar and thin lemon rind: the apples
should be quite soft, then put into a
colander for all the liquid TO run from
them. When cold. add a little lemon
juice, and more sugar II needed.

Cream soups OF leftover beans, peas,
