THE "ORIGIN OF "PLUM DUFF."
How n O'i*-nt Molltluy X>IPT> of KUIUHH *tc>
. o#Jvort It?? Qtiiivv Numr.
Thero uro many traditions respect
i ny tho origin of tho name Vpluin
dui?,''the groat holiday dish of ?ali:
ors. ^ No feast on shipboard is con
?Bidoret) por foot without it: Accord
ing to tho story gi Von in tho history
pf tho British navy, on English brig
iii tlio south i*ttoilio WILS caught ni a
series of awful hurricanes. All bli
board were anxious to roach a port
iii time for Christmas, but tho holi
day found thom still off tho 'Naviga
tor islands. Worst bf all, they liad
shipped asea that carried away tho
hencoop containing a few chickens.
When tho cook saw tho Christmas
dinner floating in the leo scupjiers
und in danger of going overboard,
he modo a gallant chargo down tho
slippery, sloping dook to recover it,
but at that moment a groat wavo
roso high ovor tho bulwarks, broko
with resistless fury on tho very spot
whore ho stood, and when it subsided
cook and chickens had both dislip*
poured.
This unfortunate accident lof t tho
crow not only without i\ Christmas
dinner, but without any ono to pre
paro no ordinary meal. The sailors
were heartily sick of "hardtack" and
remembered with longing tho fa
mous pl uni pudding of morry Eng
land. They determined that soino
how they must have a Christmas
pudding and drew lota us to who
should bs tho cook.
Tho choice fell on tho boatswain's
mab?, a brawny son of tho Emerald
Isle. In tho galley ho found an old
cookbook. Thia he solemnly pored
over iii search of something promis
ing, but for lack of skill or materials
found nothing ho dared venture
upon. At last lie settled upon a rec
ipe whieli began, "Make a stiff
dough. " When" he readied tho word
dohgh, ho said to himself, "if
r-o-u-g-li spells ruff, d-o-u-g-h spells
duff."
tte ho made tho pudding, putting
irk som ii fino Malaga raising, and
served it out. with a generous quanti
ty of rich sauc?. Tho sailors hailed
it with delight and appreciation.
"What, d'ye .call itv" they asked.
"Pl ni h duh'," sn Ul tho proud cook,
And plum duff it has remained from
that day t.6 this.--?Manchester Times,
Malcho!) III Two Con I In.Mit
"It is said," remarked Henry G.
Sexton, "that every man, woman
?uv!.child in tho country Uses on an
average five matches a- day, and un
der tliese conditions it is perhaps not
surprising that such a very poor
grade of matches ls turned out. Tho
ina ich es iii common use in the United
M ta tos today a rb very similar to those
wh'eh are discarded in most Euro
pean countries, except in the poorest
neighborhoods, 10 or 15 years ago,
and it is strange that some of the hot
ter grades which have superseded
them havo not acquired any foothold
iii this country.
"Wax matches, which aro consid
ered aristocratic in Europe, are not
milch liked hore, but a good trial has
never boen given some of tho Vost
grade of safety match es sold every day
by Um thousands in European coun
tries. Tho two kinds generally on salo
hore aro olthor so loaded with sulphur
as to be unpleasant or so explosivo iii
character as to bo almost dangerous,
and both grades aro manufactured
?with but very little rogard to finish
and appearance, whereas in Franco
particularly they have matches of all
kinds neatly finished and quito pleas
ant to uso. As a smoker I certainly
think tho European idea tho bottor."
-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A Thoughtful Widow.
On a recent Saturday evening two
women mot in a Boston market and
after exchanging tho usual friendly
greetings commenced to consolo each
other for tho deaths of their respect
ivo husbands.
One of tho women was greatly af
fected as she related tho virtues of
her departed spouse Bursting into
tears, she exclaimed:
"Oh, but my Felix was a good
man !"
The other roplied, "My husband
was good to mo, and my loss was as
great as yours."
- "I know all that," returned the
first, "but my Felix had false tooth."
"Well, what has that to do with
it?"
"1 have his teeth at homo, and I
don't know what to do with thom.
"Why didn't you have them buried
with him?"
The sorrowing widow, again burst
ing into teai-s, cried, "I would, but I
wa? afraid they might choke him. "

A Vnlunbl? Commit too.
A "lookout committee" is a valu
able company of persons in a certain
church of the city. Each mein ber
has a number of pews ranging before
and behind her own which it is her
duty to keep watch of. She must
note absences and when thoy are con
tinued, lind out the cause, bringing
at once to tho chairman hews of ill
ness or need of any sort, mental or
physical. Tho chairman convoys this
intelligence to the pastor, whoso work
is thus much lightoned.---Now York
