THIRD RAIL AND BLAcKBIT

II1IItD HALL AND bLACAblftD.
 People have wondered how birds can roost on the trolley wire without being killed by the electric current. The rea- son is that they do not divert the cir cult. They could also stand on the third rail without any danger, provid- ing they didn't touch the ground or any other object at the same time. The rail circuit, however, is a menace to birds for the reason that it rests on the ground. Yesterday Bryan c. Atwater saw a blackbird fly on to the rail near the west bridge in Berlin, and he watched it for few minutes to see if it would be shocked The bird hopped along the rail for a short distance, then touched it's bill to the ground and was dead. Some weeks ago a fox was killed on the rail near this same bridge New Britain correspondent of Hart ford Times.

THE PLACE DE LA CONCORDE.
The Most Famous and Beautiful Square
in Gay and Eivacious Paris.

The Most Famous and Beautiful Square
in Gay and Vivacious Paris.
The most important public square in
Paris, and one of the handsOmcst in the
world, is the Place de Ia Concorde. In
the center rises the obelisk of Luxor,
presented by the Pasha of Egypt to
Louis Philippe 1t is thanked on either
side by large fountain. The Place de
la ConcOrde seems somewhat wrongly
called, in view of the history of the spot.
One hundred and fifty years ago it was
an open field But in 114S the city ac
cepted the gracious permission Of Louis
XIV. to erect a statue to him here. The
place then took his name and retained il
till the new regime, in 1889. melted
down the statue and converted it into
two-cent pieces. On the Both of May,
ITO, during an exhibition of fireworks
here panic took place and120O people
were trampled to death and 1000 more
were severely injured. The occasion
was the attempt of the people to express
by q grand celebration, their unbounded
Joy at the recent marriage of the young
dauphn with the Austrian princess Marie
AntOinette. On the Dist of January
1893, they gathered here again in inn
mense numbers to see the head of the
same dauphin, now Louis XVI, chopped
off by the sharp guillotine. During the
next two years the spot we'll earned its
title place of the Revolution" for the
guillotine had not finished it's work until
Marie Antoinette, Charlotte, Madame
Elizabeth (the Kings sister,, Robesperre,
and more than $500 persons had here
persisted by it's deadly stroke.-Chautau-

DICKENS AND YOUNG PEOPLE.
How the Great Novelist Enjoyed himself
with T5oys and Girls.

How the Great Novelist Enjoyed himself
with Foys and Girls.
A writer in Harper's Round Table
tells some pleasant stories of Charles
Dickens; he says:
1t was at the juvenile birthday par
ties that Dickens seemed in all his
glory. At the supper table, in helping
some little miss to ''trifle," he would as
sure h.r with all possible gravity that
it was 10 trife at ALL When the writer,
urged to make little speech on the
occasion of Charles birthday, came to
n full stop at the words: Il am sure"
Dickens at once came to his assistance,
and enabled him to retire from the plat
form, however ungracefully, with the
remak, among others, always be sure,
my dear boy, and you'll get along all
right"
At the little theatrical entertainments
Dickens was the alpha and omega Of
the proceedings. He was sometimes au-
thor, adapter, condenser, and even stage
carpenter. He overlooked with energy.
Dickens. doubtless remembering his
own acute sensibilities as a child, could
not Willingly wound q child's feelings.
He made fun with, not of us. No party
ever came off at Dickens without ''Sir
Roger de Coverly's" being introduced
Dickens shouted with laughter as some
novice got badly mixed up in ''all hands
down the middle" Off he darted after
the lost sheep-generally an awkward
boy-and turned his bushes to smiles
by saying: what dancer this boy
will make when he's tackled a little
more roast beefp' or, isn't Tommy a
nice young man for small party?
There was nothing of the pedagogue
about him. No vulgar attempt to pose
as the brilliant Boz" He was simply
a big boy, and he came down the ladder
of his fame to meet his fellows on their
ordinary platform-to be one of them in
their own simnle WaY for q time

ORANGE MARLALADE.
The Season for Making it-FOur Recipes
that Are Recommended.

The Season for Making it-FOur Recipes
that Are Recommended.
Now is the time for making orange
marmafade, and if ladies only realized
how much more economical it is to
make it at home than to buy it, they
would do so. Peeling and preparing the
fruit is dainty work, and is best done
with a silver knife. One Of the old sill
yer pocket fruit knives that our grand
mothers used to carry about with them
is perfect for this purpose. The price
of oranges varies according to the sea-
son.
Many cooks have many modes, and the
following recipes have been collected
from various sources. Where Seville
oranges predominant, the marmaIade is
rather bitter, but very palatable con-
lection is produced from the ordinary
kind.
1. Take twelve oranges slice them
very thin, take out the pips, pour over
the oranges six quarts of water, let
them stand twenty four hours, boil them
slowly in the same water for two hours,
then add eight pounds of loaf sugar, and
after they come 10 a boil, boil them one
hour and q half; just before taking up
add the juice of two lemons.
>. Slice twelve Seville oranges very
thin, remove the pips, and to each
pound of fruit add three pints of water;
let it stand for tWenty-four hours, and
to every pound or pint add one and a
half pound Of best cane sugar and the
juice of three lemons; boil again for half
an hour.
5. Take nine Seville oranges, three
sweet ones, and three lemons; cut the
Seville oranges, after peeling them, into
thin slices, cutting them across, not
lengthwise with the stem, and cut the
peel into narrow strips. Peel the sweet
ones, throwing away the peel, and cut
them up: peel the lemons, and crate or
chop the peel; cut up the lemons, having
previously taken out the pips. Weigh all,
and add three pints of water for each
pound of fruit; let it stand for twenty
four hours, and then boil till tender,
which will take two hours. On the third
day weigh the pulp, and TO every pound
allow half pound of sugar, and then
boil till the strips of peel are transparent,
which will probably be another hour.
There is Sood deal of trouble attached
to this receipt, but the marmalade IS gu
perlatively good.
4. Get twelve Seville oranges and four
lemons: halve them and squeeze al the
juice into a pan after removing pips.
The remainder Of the fruit must be cut
into thin slices and put with the juice.
When weighed, three pints of cold water
must be added 10 every pound of fruit,
and then allowed to stand for twenty,
four hours. The next thing Is to Ioil
this till the slices are quite tender, and
then leave all to stand for another TWEEN
ty-four hours. Weigh once more, and 10
every pound of fruit add one pound of
the best cane sugar Some cooks, if the
Seville oranges are very bitter, make it
one and half pounds Of sugar. Boil for
another three-quarters of an hour, and
the result ought to be very satisfactory
indeed.-Oueen of Fashion.
