A SIBERIAN DINNER PARTY. A trveller in Siberis last winter writes as follows: Our dinner party in the evening and it was really a dinner party was extremely merry. Each one laid his storas under contribution. Some brought out frozen preserves, others, again, sausages frozen bread, others frozen vavair, others which could not be bent even if put across the knee and pulled with the strength of both arms. Can you imagine, without laughing, the appearance presented of seven half famished people sitting at a table with thirty different dishes before them, and unable to touch one at the risk of breaking their teeth? Nothing could be done except. to wait patiently for the various dishes to be thawed by sitting on them. At the olose of the dinner we ate excellent fruit, which had been kept frozen. Throughout Siberia, as soon as very cold weather sets in, all fruits are placed out of doors, with a northern exposure, that the sun may never, touch them, They are frozen through and through, and retain their flavor as completely as if they had just been plucked from the tree,
