Mow n tWifut Moililiiy ?.>th*.i of Suttor* Ko <-*.'voiI ld Quorn* Nutms Thoro aro many traditions respect ing tho origin of the name Mpluhi duff," the groat holiday dish of Sail or;.. % No feast oh shipboard ia con sidered perfect without it: Accord ing to tho story given in tho history of tho British navy, an English brig iii tho south Puciflo was caught in a series ot' awful hurricanes. All on board were anxious to reach a port in Wilie for Christinas, but tho holi day found them still off tho'Naviga tor islands. Worst of all, they liad Shipped a Bea that carried away tho hencoop containing a fow chickens. When Cio coote saw tho Christmas dinner floating in the leo scuppers and in danger of going ovorboard, lie made a gallant charge down tho slippery, sloping dock to recover it, but at that moment a great wavo rose high over tho bulwarks, broke with resistless fury on tho very spot where lie stood, and when it subsided cook and chickens had both disap peared. This unfortunate accident loft tho crow not only without a Christmas dinner, but without any one to pre paro nu ordinary meal. Tho sailors were heartily sick of "hardtack" and reine ; bored with longing the fa mous plum pudding ot' merry Eng - land. They determined that somo how they must, havo a Christmas pudding and drew lota as to who should be the cook. The choice fell on the boatswain's mate, a brawny son of tho Emorald Isle, in the galley lie found ait old cookbook. This ho solemnly pored over in setirch bli something promis ing, but for lack of skill or materials found nothing ho dared venture upon. At last he settled upon a rec ipe which bogan, "Make a stiff dough. " When ho readied tho word dotigh, lie said to himself, "If r o e. ;; h spells ruff, d-o-u-g-h spells duff." tte ho made tho pudding, putting irv some imo Malaga raisins, and served it out with a generous quanti ty of rich sauce The sailors hailed it willi delight and appreciation. ^YVhafc d'ye .crill it?" they asked. "Plum .Int;'," said tho proud cook. And plum duff it has remained from that day to ?Iii-...- .Manchester Times. Stilt ohos In Two CuutlDoiitx. "It is said," remarked Henry Gk Hoxton, "that every man, woman inri.child In tho country uses on an average five matches a day, and un der these conditions it is perhaps not surprising that such a very poor grade of matches is turned out. Tho matches lu common us? ,iii the United .States today '-n P very similar tb those which ?ire discarded tu most Euro pean countries, oxcopt in the poorest hol gi ihorhoods, IO or la years ago, and it is strange thut-somoof the bet ter grades which haye superseded them havo not acquired any foothold ju this country. "Wax matches, which uro consid ered aristocratie In Europe, are not nmeh liked here, but a good trial has never been given some of tho I est gradoof safety matches Sold every day by tho thousands in European coun tries. Tho two kinds generally on salo hore are either sb loaded with sulphur as to be unpleasant or so explosive in character as to bo almost dangerous, and both grades aro manufactured with but very little regard to finish and appearance, whereas in Franco part icularly they have matches of all kinds neatly finished and quito pleas ant to uso. As a smoker I cortainly think tho European idea tho bettor." -St. Jxnils Globo-Demoerat. A ThouKhlful Widow. On ii recent Saturday o vening two women mot in a Heston market and after exchanging tho usual friendly greet ings commenced to console each* oilier for tho deaths of their respect ive husbands. Ono of tho women was greatly af f ec ted as she related tho virtues of her departed spouse. Bursting into tears, she exclaimed: "Oil, but my Felix was a good man !" The other replied, "My husband was good to nie, and my loss was tis great as yours." - "I know all that," returned tho first, "but my Felix hnd false teeth." .'Well, what has that to do with it?" "J Juive bis teeth at home, and I don't know what to do with them." "Why didn't you lia ve them buried with him ri The sorrowing widow, again burst ing into tears, cried, "I would, but I was afraid they might choke him." Boston Herald, A VahlHohl Commit fen.
