on the pudding blown out, for fear that
they might be the innocent cause of a
larger but less pleasant conhagration.

the merry English Christmas dinner.
1t Is now. too. that we begin to search
In the portion meted out to US In semi
darkness for any of the emblems

many are the hopes and fears with
which the search Is conducted. She
who finds in hers the silver thripenny
bit Is destined to be lucky In money
matters throughout the coming year.
and she who gets the silver thimble is
to be an old maid. according to pud-
ding lore. while the recipient Of the
wedding ring at once becomes the envy
of all the rest at the table, except per-
haps. the New Woman among US, for she
IL to be married first. These things
come true. / do assure you, for l have

But those are not all the delightful
superstitions connected with plum pud-
ding by any means. There IL another

many pieces OF different peoples pud-
ding as there are months In the year,
he will have that many happy months.
SO, some OF the more superstitious of
these islanders are given to courting
dyspepsia, every Christmas week, by
eating pieces from twelve different
plum puddings. Some start out brave

and they faint by the roadside. over

always end up by being sorry they did
not persevere until the twelfth, for they
are certain that they will have only
five, six or seven happy months in the
new year before misfortune overtakes
them. They catch cold and get sick.

LITERARY GOSSIP.

The year 1895 was notable In American
book making for a distinct advance In
mechanical quality. One can readily
remember a time when to this import
ant side of literature no special atten-
tion was paid. The publisher took MS
manuscripts to the printer, gave MIN
the size of volume desired and the sum
he was willing to pay for 1t. ana the
printer did the rest. IL the printer
chanced to be a man of taste, with no
special anxiety to do his work as cheap
ly as possible, the resultant tome was
fairly neat and durable; otherwise. not.
But the "nots" were largely In the ma
jority. or late, however. a change mas

publishers dreams No longer does ne
dream simply of getting book on the
market; he Is at last beginning to study
the bibliomaniacal longinSs OF that
market and Is nowadays wont to try 10
