BAT greatest V&-.' rj>r of war. a starv ing garrisqsi and a starving town, sur rounded by a Hos tile camp, yet able to see far-off fields of grain an$ plenty, could not be, re peated In this age of canned goods. Bleats, vegetable*, puddings and fruits, all incased, In, tiny Jars or boxes of tin. * {■ i *- -t It used to be easy to beleaguer a! city and starve It into submission with hardly an jounce of shot, for it ,wsa a, t^g^t conduslor, that If all avenue* of Mod supply wc*e shut off oijly a few weeks would elapse before both garrl son and citizens would have to capitu late, though they might eat ratllesh and1 horseflesh first But now. so cleverly are provisions compressed and' packed, away Into tins, and so long v^ill even the foods that most usually spoil quick ly keep—for years in' most cases—that no city or town could he starved out If it only had a chance to provision itself properly. ' The city of Paris has stored away hundreds of thousands of packages con talnlng canned and compressed food enough to supply the entire population; for at least eighteen months. This out fit of canned food is not permitted to, be touched, though at times It is tested to see that it still remains unspoiled. ! . Other cities In Europe have bpilt up1 stores along much the same llh«t. though Paris has by far the moat im portant assortment of canned food held in reserve. Outside of these preparations the manufacture of canned articles baa grown to be something enormous, es pecially in meats and vegetables, in many cases the canned goods seem to he actually preferred to the original prod- j ucta. Nearly every wise housekeeper i nowadays emulates Paris In a small way, for she keeps oh her shelves any ! number of these little boxes and thus'; finds herself always ready for any emergency should company suddenly! drop in or the butcher or grocer fall tp j turn up. ;,.'j It is really surprising the variety, of^ things to eat that are put into cans. As a matter of tact one (San live, and live; comfortably, on canned foods alone. "I can stock your house,” said a big whole sale grocer to a World reporter, ‘"so that you need not make another pur-, chase of food for five years, and you shall have every day a perfect dinner of soup and fish, entrees, roasts; fruits, pudding, cheese and coffee, all canned goods” p'j' Canned goods, though, have proved themselves of the greatest value to travelers, from the fact that an . enor mous amount of nourishment can be carried in an exceedingly small com pass. The Arctic explorers flrs£ found out the value of canned meats and. Vege tables, and In this way were able to tra vel with less hardship and to do things which would have been impossible had it been necessary for them to depend upon food In Its original form. When: the Greely expedition ; went away in 1881 a large quantity of pern mlcan was put on board. A large part of it was not consumed on the trip; and on the return of the explorers lt; was sent back to the firm from which it was bought When the Peary expedition was being fitted out ten years later and the same firm was doing the providing, they opened sample cases of this pem mican and found It to be in as good condition as If fresh made. So It was sent out with Peary, and on that explor er’s return to New York what urns left proved to be as good and as nourishing U k. J 1 001 No expedition of recent date baa plunged Into the Dark Continent with* out being well equipped with Unboxes of all sixes and varletlee. It la aald that there la no desert plateau In any. part of the earth where one is not liable to run across an empty beef can. Transatlantic steamers and sailing ships about to start out on long voy ages use these goods In great quantities because they keep so well and because they can be stored so easily. When pre pared by a skillful cook it is Impos sible for the diner to distinguish be tween fresh meats and vegetables and those that are canned. ■t, J-— ' fluff *»*>•<< jVoman Tunis Champion.

The phosphate mining Interest*1 of Canada are in a state of otter collapse at present, and to remedy this state of. affairs the Canadian Minin* association, which meets in Quebec, proposes to en-, deavor to induce the Dominion and pro* vlnclal governments to Introduce the general use of phosphate fertilisers os. Canadian farms through the agenoy o; ■ the experimental farms, says a Quebec special. As an Illustration of the stag nation of this branch of mining. It may be mentioned, that three years ago 8,#09 men were employed In phosphate min-,, Ing In Ottawa county alone, while to day not three-score men are thus en gaged. The cause of the collapse Is the competition in the English markets of the phosphates of Algiers and the high* grads product , of Florida, which can be • worked and marketed . much more cheaply. The mining men point out that lands, In Georgia \ have. advanced In price from IS to 830 an acre through the use of fertilisers. Many, In faet, most, of the farms of Quebec have been exhausted by the wasteful and unscien tific farming of, th« h*t>Kants, and so the necessity, of doing something to improve their farming methods,, arid thus relieve the1 phosphate miners, will be pressed upon ,lhe government.
