A VIEW MONEY ORDER RULE.

An innovation IN the postal money order business
OF the Government is implied IN order which
Postmaster Van Cott received yesterday morning
from the Postofice Department. instructing him TO
pass all money orders drawn the General POST
office which presented by banks. whether the
corresponding advices not file at the
time the orders presented.
No order will hereafter be returned to a bank
because of technical irregularity which may be
corrected by correspondence with the issuing post
master. Postmaster Van Cott said that II was the
desire OF the Department that money orders should.
as far as possible. be deposited In banks for col
lection by business houses. In lieu Of presenting
them at the postoffice. The money orders can thus
come through the Clearing House in a bunch for
payment. saving an immense amount OF time and
labor
The order will be advantageous to payers Of
money orders. in that by depositins or negotiating
payment of their money orders at banks. they thus
save themselves tho annoyance and Inconvenience

HOW A PLUM PUDDING SHOULD BE BOILED.
Tho Christmas pudding is always made at least
nine days before II Is served. There seems to be
no doubt that in its early days It was plum por-
ridge OF semi-liqud consistency The nursery
rhyme which translates plum porridge into the
more matter OF fact bean porrldgs had meaning
when II formerly read:
Plum porridge hot
Plum porridge cold.
Plum porrdge In the pot
Nine days old"
Plum porridge was formerly eaten eagerly in all
these conditions. People who knew how It should
be served however. even In old times. always pre-
rerred It after II was at least nine days old.
There are three good recipes for this familiar pud-
ding The cheapest Is measured by bowls and not
By weight and Is within the means OF the painest
family in tho land. The richest pudding will adorn
any table Il properly prepared BY an accomplished
cook Tho secret OF making a successful plum pud-
ding will be found by following the English rule.

gratitude, but fellow mortal, If He who
