The Christmas Plum Pudding.

While all English recipes for mince
pies and plum pudding call for brandy
the American housewife may substitute
with advantage grape juice. orange
juice or the rich juice Of elderberry OF
ounce.
All the ingredients Of a plum pud-
ding must be well mixed by kneading
then packed and tied securely, leaving
but little room for the pudding to swell.
A last word of caution is, in no case
to allow the water in which the pudding
is cooked to stop boiling for even a
moment.
A large pudding will take from eight
to ten hours boiling. For small one
five hours will suffice. A standard recipe
calls for one cupful finely chopped suet,
one cupful each seeded raisins, sliced
citron and orange peel, currants and
sugar, and three cupfulS soft bread
crumbs.
Mix well, add four eggs one by one,
thorough beating following each addi-
ton. Next add Il half cupful each milk
and fruit juice, a teaspoonful Of CHINA
mon. u quarter teaspoonful each nut
meg, allspice and cloves and the
b. e,ed rlnu of lemon. When thoroughly
kneaded fill the mixture into a large,
well buttered and sugared mold, or lit
tie individual molds, cover with a piece
Of oiled paper, then a tightly fitting
lid and steam eight hours.
When sending to the table, decorate
with a wreath of holly and split al
and if desired, give a fluffy Dor
der Of whipped cream.

Another excellent rule for orange and
grapefruit in combination is this:
To six large navel oranges allow three
grapefruit and the juice of six lemons.
Boil the fruit whole separately until soft
enough to pierce. Let stand over night

In the morning cut in halves, and from
the grapefruit scrape all the pulp and

High Sheriff Henry claims a worlds
record in that he has discovered
safe,-a money safe,--in a prisoners
head The sheriff has had long ex-
perience in finding things hidden away
in boots in Innings of clothes, and all
sorts of places where prisoners are
wont to conceal valuab1es, dope or
other things with which they do not
wish to part. But when it comes to
hiding a safe, in ones head, Henry
admits that new one has been put
over on him.
The safe is the property of All Hoo
Yuen, the Chinese woman whose de-
portation to China or extradition to
San Francisco is bothering several
courts and many officials. 1t was dis
covered at Oahu prison that she had
a safe in her head. 1t was concealed
in her hair. The safe was, naturally,
not a big one. 1t was a little slot
machine safe, in which nickels are
dropped until certain number is
reached, when the safe opens. All
Yuen had it carefully wound up and
concealed in. the folds of her hair, and
she had been in Oahu prison some
time before it was discovered
The safe contained the much sought
draft for $1,000. 1t was 81, 500 Mex
