THE ORIGIN OF PLUM DUFF.-There

lHE ORIGIN OF TLuM OUff. mere
are many traditions respecting the orr
gin of the name "plum duff" the great
holiday dish OF saiicls. No feast on
shipboard is considered perfect without
it. According to the story given III the
history of the British navy an English
brig in the South Pacific was caught in
series of awful hurricanes. All on
hoard were anxious 10 reach port in
time for Christmas, but the holiday
found them still off the Navigator Isl
lands. Worst of all, they had shipped
sea that carried away the hencocp
containing few chickens. When the
cook saw the Christmas dinner floating
in the lee scuppers and in danger Of
going overheard, he made a gallant
charge down the slippery, sloping deck
to recover it; but at that moment
great wave rose high over the bull
Warks. broke with resistless fury on the
very spot where he stood, and when 1t
subsidized cook and chickens had both
disappeared. This unfortunate acct
dent left the crew not only without Il
Christmas dinner, but without any one
to prepare an ordinary meal. The
sailors were heartily sick of "hardtack,
and remembered with longing the IA
nous plum pudding of merry England.
They determined that somehow they
must have q Christmas pudding, and
drew lots as to who should be cook.
The choice fell on the boatswain's mate,
brawny son of the Emerald Isle. In
the galley he found an old cook book.
This he solcmnly pored over in search
of something promising, but for lack Of
skill or materials, found nothing he
dared upon. At last he settled upon a
recipe which began: MAKE a stiff
doug h." When he reached the word
dough he said to himself "If rough
spells ruff, dough spells duff" So
he made the pudding, putting in some
fine Malaga raisins, and served out
with generous quantity of rich sauce.
The sailors hailed it with delight and
appreciation. "What dye call it?"
they asked. "Plum duff" said the
proud cook. And plum duff it has re-
manned from that day to this,-Man-
chester Times.

CAPRICIoUS WEATHER.-The wealth
CT during the past twenty-four hours
has assumed all sorts of shapes. Yes
terday morning it savored no little OF
that of springtime. But long before
shutdown an easterly wind had banked
up ominous-looking clouds in the south
and before the close of the day the
heavens were overcast and the aspect
vas dismal and chilly About six o'clock
rain began to fall, but that was soon
superseded by hail which peppered pc
destrians and bombarded and danced
against window panes. About mid
night the hail gave way for snow, and
by sunrise the ground was covered by Il
LAYER two inches thick. The heavens,
however, had cleared, the wind
changed TO the west and fair twenty
second of February was indicated. The
ragged remnants of last nights clouds
though could be seen like dIolian buoys
pointing in this direction from the west,
and ii was not necessary to be a fiedg-
ling OF the Weather Bureau to presagc
d sharp boreal wind before the sun had
climbed very high in the heavens.
About nine o'clock that element. from
whence it cometh or whittier it goes no
one can tell" was creaking signs, slam
ming shutters, rafting sash and caus-
ing awnings to tug at their fastenings.
The roar OF the gale at times sounded
as though trains of cars were rushing
through the streets, while the trees
twisted and swayed as though suddenly
thrown into frenzy. The air was fill
ed with snow which was hurled from
housetops and waited through the
III such thick clouds that it
caused Il scene not unlike that which
would be produced by the explosion of
a flour or plaster mill. The tempera-
ture in the meantime was falling, and
the prospects for day or two more of
cold weather are favorable.
