A DINNER IN TINS.
A Complete Bill of Fare Made Up From
Goods In Tin Cans.

There is not an industry either at
home or abroad that has thrived so
successfully as that of the canning
trade, and now it really seems as
though the acme of perfection has at
last been reached in that direction. 1t
is only few years since when it was
quite task to find enough canned ar
ticles to stock camping party, or to
form a respectable luncheon for a pic
mic affair. But now we are indeed
quite independent of our flourishing
markets and our obiging greengroc9r,
thanks to the canning business.
The good housewife, were she really
obliged, could arrange quite a sump-
tuous dinner and employ nothing but
goods put up in tin. Having made a
study of this question, L am quite
prepared to show the lady readers of
The Call what bill of fare can be
made up out of canned things. When
l say canned l refer only to viands in
tin alone. which does not include any
article put up in glass. china or wood,

cluding the various ones made from
vegetables, rice, chicken, etc, and
those more rare, such as fish, terrapin

Next comes the fish. OF the ex.
tensive array we might choose salmon
or whitefsh, or, what is more delicate
brook trout, fish that is always de.
sirable and rare at most all times OF
the year. As an extra of salma duck
would come in quite well. Having
disposed of that we will turn our at

necessary for any one to locate on

A Mountain of Iron Ore.

DR.. Noetling, of the geological survey of
India, in a recent report on magnetic rock
among the Shan hills of Upper Burmah, de-
which consists of huge mass of iron Ore.o
Having, he says, noticed on the way num-
erOus pieces of iron ore, which became still
more frequent on the southern side of the
hill, he examined the latter in several direc-
lions. He found the surface everywhere
covered with large blocks of iron ore, Origi-
mating evidently from superficial decompO-
sition of lower beds He concluded that
the whole hill consisted of a large mass of
iron ore. He was unable to ascertain the
geological conditions under which this ore
occurs or its exact limits and extension on
account of the the dense jungle and ire
mendous attraction, rendering his compass
useless. He estimates, however, that the
mile, and that it rises about two hundred
feet above the level of the Twiunge valley
The ore is hematite-peroxide of iron.

New York Sun.
At one publishing house it was said that
the greatest successes in American author
Cabin" and ''Ben-Hur.D "Mrs. Stoves
book sold about 10000 copies and Melted
her at least $50, 600, while General Wallace's
religious novel sold over 100000 copies at
$1.5O. and brought him about S45, 600. "Ben-
Hur' did not sell well for year or two.
1t has been said that its popularity
was started by a remark General Gar
field is said to have made-that he
he had read his book. 1t is not fair, the
publisher thought, to ascribe the sue
cess of merit to any such thing Such
great book would make its way with
out any help. 1t would be slow process,
perhaps, but it would be just as sure in the
end. Gladstone's magazine article abont
Robert Elsmere" fastened the success of
that work, but it had to be anyhow. One
lady would have read 1T and told another,
and both would have told other ladies and
might as well ask me-" said the publisher,
whether it would be worth your while to
write a book if yOu were a second Charles
Reade, as to ask me how to make .Ben-Hur'

The publisher was reminded that novel
writing can scarcely be said to pay Mr..
Howells. Without his retainer of $4,000 n
year from Harper & Brothers his income
outside from royalties on his books would
not suffice for him to live like gentleman.

in many establishments in Albany work
ingmen demand the privilege of bringing
beer into the factories for consumption at
the noon hour, and in at least one estab-
lishnent beer is paid for by the proprietors.
In this connection few are aware that in
all the photographic establishments of this
country where the work is mainly done by
German workingmen, stipulation re-
quires the proprietors to furnish beer as a
part of the employees wages. In the mani
moth photographic department of Judge. at
New York, for instance, where 600 men are
employed, each one receives, under the
terms of his contract with his employers,
three pints of beer day. The beverage is
lager beer, and over seven barrels are thus
consumed daily. An effort was made at
one time to see if reform could not be in
stituted in this matter, but such serious
trouble was threatened that it had to be
abandoned. No lager, no work.
