THE VINEGAR PIE OF OHIO

From the American Kitchen Magazine.
 Another dessert I remember in Ohio was vinegar pie. A pie pan was lined with crust as for custard pie. This was filled with a mixture of cold water, richly sweetened, slightly thickened with -four, to which was added sufficient vinegar to give a strongly acid flavor A pinch of cinnamon was sprinkled over the liquid after it was pour ed into the crust, then slender strips of pie dough were fastened across to make tart. If baked in a properly heated oven the liquid, as it cooked, thickened into a sticky paste.

KEFLECTIONs OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 After a man has eaten up his hunger, he begins on his own appetite.
 A woman is never really happy after she gets to an age when she has to be nice to the men.
 One of the advantages in a wife is hay ing some one who is sure to tell you when you need to get your hair cut.
 Self-satisfaction depends entirely on whether we judge ourselves by what we know more than other people, or by what other peiple know more than we do.
 Women look dreadfully uncomfortable sitting around with a white shirt waist on, because they are afraid to lean back on anything for fear they will get dirt on it.

Maryland is thus far the only state that is free to vote against MT. Bryan, all though the platform praises him in the highest terms. New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland send delegates free from platform instructions. Connecti- cut and New York democrats pledged themselves, however, to support cordially whatever platform the convention may adopt. The Connecticut democrats request ed their delegates ito advocate the adop ton of a platform embodying the funda- mental principles of democracy which Mir Bryan "so ably represents"
 Practically then all the delegates thus far selected are pledged to the support of Mr. Bryan. It is doubtful if single vote will be cast against the greatest popular leader that the country has known since the days of Henry Clay, and even he had not at any time in his remarkable career such a following as MT Bryan unquestion- ably possesses at the present time.
 It seems to be conceded that the nominee for vice president will be either a New York or an Indiana man. The democrats of the latter state are confident of victory contend with, and the democrats in that state stand ready to begin the race when Kansas City gives the word.

Late Timber Ruling.

The interior department has made a late ruling regarding the cutting of timber on government lands which will greatly affect this territory. The ruling is in effect only a plainer eX- planation of previous rnlingS which were often misconstrued and violated, the burden of proof that they had been misc0nstrued being thrown upon the government. The present ruling shifts the burden upon the yiolator. It will be observed that smelling is made distinct from mining. The rul- ing will go into effect on next Wednes- day. It is as follows:
 By virtue of the power vested in the secretary of the interior by the first section of the act of June 5, 1878, entitled An act authorizing the citi- zens of Colorado, Nevada and the ter

 On Monday evening last, February ,, Col. James A. Fleming, president of the Black Warrior Copper Co.,, Anal gamated, of Black Warrior, Arizona, gave d number of his friends genuine camp dinner at the Manufat turers' club of which he is member. The room was arranged to represent a camp, with bushes and leaves strewn over the floor. The side board was an ordinary wooden box; the table was covered with white oil cloth, common wooden benches were used in place of chairs, tin dishes were the only kind used, and the liquids were drank from ordinary tin cups. Ordinary adaman- tine candles in tin candle sticks were used for lighting the room, which gave it weird effect. The walters were dressed to represent miners, with overhauls and flannel shirts. The food was placed upon the table in the vessels in which it was cooked and passed around, so that everyone present helped themselves,
 After the uiIner corn cob pipes and tobacco were passed around and the smoked and the party enjoyed them selves until after midnight. Among those invited to participate were MT. Charles W. Potts.

UNITED METALS SELLING co.

The most important piece of news relating to the copper industry IS the reported organization of the United Metals Selling company, under the laws of New Jersey, with capital of S5, 900, 900.
 Those at the head of the company are William Rockefeller and Henry M Rogers, of the Standard Oil company, and Leonard and Adolph Lewisohn, and Charles c. Beaman. The new concern will virtually be an expansion of the former business of Lewisohn
 Bros, and will take over thelr entire metal business. It will also have the sale of the total production of the
 Amalgnmated Copper company.
 The Engineering and Mining Journal says:
 "The new company will nlso absorb the Raritau Copper works at Perth Amboy, N. J., which is probably the most modern and best equipped elec- trolytic refining plant, and when the present capacity is doubled, for which arrangements are now being made, will be probably the largest in existence The company will also take over the New England Electrolytic Copper works at Pawtucket. R. l., and the Ansonia Refining company works, at Ansonia, Conn. In addition to its ex- tenslve copper business the company will handle very large quantities of silver and other metals, and will also be large importer of tin. The pri. mary object of the incorporation of this company is said to be to secure to con sumers the benefit of a steady market, and 1t is claimed that the price of cop per can be maintained for number of years at about its present level. It takes mine from three to four years to produce to any important eXteut. and it may we'll be that. for some time to come, the yearly increase in produc- tion will not exceed the normal ratio of 10 per cent. ns in the past, or exceed the expected increase in consumption, due to the growing demand for copper for armament, electrical, telephonic, and other purposes. Nat urally the new corporation, by hand ling, as it will, such large proportion of the copper produced, have it in its power toprevent violent fluctuations Tn price, and this would work to the bene- fit of consumers by removing the spec nlative element from the market, thus enabling manufacturers to make con tracts for future with greater ger iainty.
