SOUP AT SIG A PLATE.
Peecocks' Tongues at $50 and Otf+er
Extravagant Dishes.

PeGCocks' Tongues at $50 ana OtfHer
Extravagant Dishes.
The most expensive dish in the
world consists of the fat legs Of four
small birds, rare and expensive, no
bigger than Juvenile pigeons, lnclosed
in a quail, which is placed in a teal,
itself wrapped inside q capon.
A goose, the latest and tenderest
obtainable, and a fine turkey also
play important parts In the prepare
ton Of this dish, but the four small
legs from the inside Of the quail are
alone served up, the other birds be-
ing employed to add their favor to
that Of the four legs, in which duty
they are assisted by liberal bastiDg
with rare wines.
This dish is said to be sufficiently
delicious to soften the heart Of the
most callous epicure, but, Of course,
the greatest thing in it's favor Is it's
prohibitive cost It is occasionally
served in a certain London restaurant,
and a single order costs about $50
Peacock's tongues form the basis of
another fashionable dish, and, though
they are sufficiently expensive for
most people, it is really the things
added to them and their treatment
which makes the dish so costly.
1t takes a dozen peacocks tongues
to make a dish large enough to be
clearly visible to the naked eye, and
such a dish would add anywhere from
SIS to $50 to a dinner bill, according
to what other delicacies were employ
ed In creating" the dish.
Turtle-fn soup is yet another choice
course calculated to allure man into
the bankruptcy courts, though its
cost Is comparatively trifing enough
TO cover the bottom of q soup plate
being obtainable in many hotels for
the mere bagatelle of $40, unless it has
been elaborated, as it often is, when it
occasionally runs up to $50 per head
on the bill.
Probably the most expensive soup to
he had is that for which the talented
we were almost writing inspired
chef of a Paris restaurant is noted.
Much mystery Gas Is usual with
French dishes) exists as to what it
IS made of, but one Of the chief con-
stltuents is woodcocks' legs, stewed
very gently until the flesh falls off the
bone. The resultant liquor is then
allowed to cool, equal portions of two
wines are added, and then it is ready
to be prepared In all earnestness., 1t
Costs SIG every time.
A dish invented by Paris chef in
honor of a dinner given to an actress
nv some of her admirers consisted Of
tha most delicate portions of thirty
geese, ten turkeys and some
wcodcocks, prepared in a sauce OBJ
tanned by stewing the tender meat OF
four sirloins Of beef and leaving only
tha turkey element to be served UP
with truffies. The cost of the course
was S4OO, not because of what II con
sisted, but of al that was wasted

THE THIRD RAIL.

Its Success Has Been Demonstrated,
but 1t Must Wear Sort of Hood.
Two Improvements u the arrange
ment Of the third rail- on electric
roads have recently attracted atten-
ton. Both have the some object In
view, and get at it in the same general
fashion, though with differences in de-
tail. In order to avert the formation
Of an icy coating on the rail and the
consequent paralysis Of traffic, a con-
tinuous hood has been placed above
the conductor. One inventor goes so
far as to turn the rail upside down
and have the contact shoe slide along
it's lower surface.
The brackets by means Of which
1t is supported from one side keep 1t
several inches above the ties. This
cover comes down close to the upturn-
ed base Of the rail, and has a slight
overhang at each edge. The other
inventor retains the rail in It's pras-
ent position and adjusts his cover four
or five inches higher up, thus leaving
ample room for the shoe. The first OF
these systems has not yet been intro
duced permanently anywhere, but
favorable accounts are given Of expert
ments made with it by a Western
railroad company. The other plan has
been In operation all winter on TWEEN
ty-six miles of road In Pennsylvania,
which constitutes q link In kline
reaching from Wilkesbarre to Hazel
ton. According to the Electrical
World and Engineer, it's success has
now been fully demonstrated.
The third rail has come to stay. Tor
electric roads Of certain claSs-those
having a private right Of way, or
whose track is inaccessible to intrud-
ers on account Of elevation above the
streets-it is the most economical and
efficient medium Of supplying current
to cars, though, after nearly ten years
Of trial, it is a crude device. More
or less modification in the present
method of using it will probably prove
necessary before it performs It's mis-
sion satisfactorily. For the hope that
knives and brushes alone were ade-
quate to the task Of keeping the sur
face of the rail free from Ice some
foundation was furnished by expert
ence in the electric road between Al
hany and Hudson this winter. Re-
peated failures on the elevated roads
of this city, though, provoke grave
doubts Oh that score, and point to the
desirability, not to say necessity, of
hood.
When the idea Of employing such
a protection was first suggested, fears
were entertained that cover might
lead to an entirely new kind Of trou-
BILE. Such might be expected, GER
tainly, If the wind did not have a
clear passage. across the face Of the
rail, so as to prevent any clogging of
snow. Both of the schemes here Ge-
scribed seem to be free from that OBJ
lection. They also offer security to
workmen. who may accidentally step
on the rail. 1t may be difficult to in
duce the local elevated railways com
panies to put hood over their third
rails, but the public will do we'll to
keep alert to the feasibility Of the re-
form, should occasion arise.

DEAFNESS Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure Deafness. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inffamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tuDe restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which Is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
