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


that Are Recommended.
Now is the time for making orange
marmalade, 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 marmalade 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 twentyfour hours, boil them
slowly in the same water for two hours,
then add eight pounds of loaf sugar, and
after they come to a boil, boil them one
hour and a half; just before taking up
add the juice of two lemons.
2. Slice twelve Seville oranges very
thin, remove the pips, and to e"ch
pound of fruit add three pints of water;
let it stand for twenty-four hours, and
to every pound or pint add one and
half pound Of best cane sugar and the
juice of three lemons; boil again for half
an hour
3. 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, 9nd cut
them up; peel the lemons, and crate or
chop the peel; cut up the lemons, having
previously taken out the pips. Weigh al,
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 a pound of sugar, and then
boil till the strips of peel are transparent,
which will probably be another hour.
There is good deal of trouble attached
to this receipt, but the marmalade is SUI
perlatively good.
4. Get twelve Seville oranges and four
lemons; halve them and squeeze all 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 to every pound of fruit,
and then allowed to stand for twenty
four hours. The next thing is to boil
this till the slices are quite tender, and
then leave all to stand for another TWEEN
ty-four hours. Weigh once more, and to
every pound of fruit add one pound Of
the best cane sugar. Some cooks II the
one and a half pounds of sugar. Boil for
another three-quarters of an hour, and
the result ought to be very satisfactory
indeed.-Queen Of Fashion.

PARIS FLATS BEAT OURS.
The Frenchman Pays Less and Gets More
for His Money.

for His Money.
In some respects at least fiat life in
Paris seems to hold advantages over
that in New York and Harlem. The con-
cierge, for instance, has not obtained
yet the despotic power of the imperial
Harlem janitor. He does not even at
tempt to dictate to the tenants when
they shall or shall not eat, and they may
dump their ashes and cook their meals
at their own sweet will.
The concierge, like the janitor, lives in
the building, and he is expected, beside
keeping the building scrupulously clean,
to attend to all the wants of his tenants.
He or his wife must run all the errands;
take up the cards of visitors and see
that no guest is compelled to climb up to
q fiat when the owner is out. For his
services the concierge receives regular
fee amounting to about $3.50 year.
The rental, too. of the Partisan fiat is
much less than that of New York. Har-
Seine, bus ride of about three quarters
of an hour from the heart of Paris, one
may get q three-room fiat, with kitchen
and bath, for less than $40 month.
The apartments in this suburb over
look beautiful park, the rooms are hon
estly eight and airy" and the kitchen
contains running water, a stove, meat
safe and coalbin. All the rooms are fur
>ished with parquet flooring, the ceiling
is decorated prettily and French windows
open out on to little balconies.
The marketmen in the neighborhood
deal in products suitable to such NINA
ture homes. 1t is possible to buy rabbit,
other game by the pound. Vegetables
cut ready for soup, can be bought, and
the baker brings around crisp bread at
$50 every morning.-New York Press.

An Amusing Suit.

very amusing suit has just been de-
cided in one of the minor courts of Lon
don. William Twigg, the plaintiff, fills
up the intervals Of leisure he enjoys as a
laborer by cultivating the MUSES.. His
fame extends the whole length of a street
in Shoreditch. A pork-butcher named
Wimbush commissioned him to write
either an ode or an epic, it did not mat
ter, in praise of his homemade sausages,
and Twiggs, after painfully climbing the
heights of Parnassus, and imbibing a due
quantity of poetic nectar, provided a
poem which he fattered himself would
mark an era in the development of utili-
tartan poesy. Here is one verse:
Good people as you pass be sure to stop
And buy your legs of pork in this ere shop.
After a heightened development of this
poem, the poet passed to the concomitants
thus:
Buy pease pudding from him when you
want to dine,
And if you go there once you will go many
time.
When, however, the poem was deliv-
cred, the Shoredich Maecenas refused to
pay Twigg the ten shillings agreed on,
declaring that the verses were not suffi-
GENTLY Miltonic to describe adequately
the merits Of the sausages, of which he
gave one pound to the poet and told him
to be off. Hence the action in the local
court. Twigg recited the verses to the
Judge, and said they rhymed admirably,
bish and unworthy even of the pound of
sausages with which they had been re-
warded He got a much better ode from
another poet for five shillings. Judg-
ment was given for the plaintiff, and the
MUSES. rejoice CORRESPONDENCE. The
case shows that poetry is gradually be-
coming an acknowledged institution, rec
ogniZed even by county courts.

ROMANCE OF A PAWNSHOP.
Sister and Brother Reunited Through the
Medium of a Jewel.

Sister and Brother Reunited Through the
Medium of Jewel.
The discovery of an amethyst seal ring
in the show window Of a pawnshop in
Portland will lead to the reunion of a
brother and sister who had not seen or
heard of each other in two decades.
Mrs. S. e. Darlington of Cambridge,
Mass, came to Portland a few days ago
on visit to friends prior to her leaving
for Southern California in search of
health. Yesterday morning, while prom
enading with the woman whom she is
visiting, her attention was casually
drawn to a pawnbroker's window. She
saw a ring which struck her as being
one she had once seen before, and Mrs.
Darlington asked the broker to allow her
to inspect it, The request was readily
granted, and to her great amazement she
found engraved on the inside Of the
ring, ''E. w. B., from mother"
"Why, that's my brothers ringv' ex-
claimed Mrs. Darlington. "Where did
you get it?''
The broker, referring to his books, re-
piled that early this month the owner
borrowed So on it to make up a sufficient
sum to carry him to Sacramento. He at
that time requested the broker not to
dispose of the ring under any circum-
stances, adding that it was a gift from
his dead mother, and that he would re-
deem it in thirty or forty days. He left
his Sacramento address with the pres
ent custodian of the memento.
Mrs. Darlington was prepared to re-
deem it at once, but the broker declined
to accommodate her without the pre-
sentation of the pawn ticket. He, how
ever, gave Mrs. Darlington her brother
address and she at once availed herself
Of the use of the wires. At 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the anxious sister
had an answer from her brother, and to-
night she left to meet him.-San Fran

Wild Camels in the Southwest.

It is probably unknown to many that
away down in the Southwest there still
roams a herd Of genuine camels. The
year before last one was killed On the
Southern Pacific railroad. Surveying
parties occasionally report seeing the
camels, but only at long range, as the
animals are so wild they will not permit
near approach. There are also some
running wild in Sonora, in Mexico. The
L;ldians of the district say the animals
gave lived there fer years. They are all
descendants of the camels brough. into
this country for the government early in
the sos for use in the desert lands of
California and Arizona. When the civil
war came on and some of the Western
posts were practically abandoned, the
camels wandered away and gradually
became wild.

Electrical Bouquets.

Illuminated bouquets are the latest fad
among fashionable people. Natural flow,
ers are almost entirely dispensed with
now b+ many OF the ng
other flowers being used instead.
The flowers used for illumination are
clever reproductions of the true blossoms,
blown in thinnest colored crystal, or
made in shell porcelain and mounted on
stems of rubber, with green silk foliage.
Down the yellow stem of every flower
runs a wire that communicates with a
minute bulb in the flowers hearts, whence
flashes forth the electric rays.
Many of these imitation flowers are so
beautifully made and perfumed that,
when not alight, they are easily mistaken
for real flowers

When the Roman Catholic church in
Portsmouth, Va, burned down the other

one Episcopal clergymen called personal

STABLE AND DAIRY.

More good cows are spoiled every year

A very little milk left in the udder at

more rapidly and give better profit on
the food consumed.
If a farmer has not the time to train
a colt himself, competent man can be
found to do it, who can in few weeks
have colt so trained that buyer can
see at once what qualities it possesses.

the price. .~rr g
