A LOST DOMESTIC ART
English Plum Puddings Are Now
Made in Factories.

Through the daily CONSULAR and trace
reports comes the startling informaticn
that the present generation OF young Brit
ish women is growing up In ignorance OF
the secrets involved in compoundng the
complex mixture Of fruits, fluids, nuts and
spices which under the name Of plum
pudding has so long been associated with
John Bulls Christmas dinner table. This
is not because John has tired OF the pud-
ding. In fact. II is his great affection for
1t that has led to the present situation.
During the Boer war; says John VI.
Carson, commercial agent, plum pudding
was requsitioned in large quantities TO
carry a spark of Christmas cheer to the
soldiers on the field. The demand was far
In excess Of the supply and the soldiers
called loudly for more. This was the OPP
portunlty for intelligent and bold enter
prise. and IT was Immediately improved.
With the result that to-day the bulk Of
plum pudding consumed in the United
Kingdom Is supplied by public purveyors
and hundreds OF thousands OF pounds are
shipped abroad"
Plum pudding had been manufactured
before this in a small way. the report says,
but II was the tremendous demand from
the homeslck soldiers which put the in
fant industry on its feet and struck
death blow 10 the domestic product; for
the commercial plum pudding, II appears is
superior in quality and digesublity to the
home made pudding. and the cost Of pro-
duction has been reduced, while the best
hygienic and sanitary conditions are as
sured.
"All the constituents OF plum pudding.
which do not include pums, are prepared
and manipulated by elaborate and expen-
sive machinery" the report says. Cur
rants are washed and stems removed, rails
ins are stoned, nuts are shelled and
ground oranges and lemons are peeled,
the peel candied and cut up, eggs are
beaten and all other ingredients prepared
by machinery"
One firm alone supplied 10000 of these
puddings for the last Christmas season, and
the output OF three or four other London
firms was equally large. TO say nothing OF
the smaller establishments. This is why
the English girls no longer have to make
plum pudding, although thoughtful house
wives still give personal attention TO the
preparation Of the national confecton al
Christmas time.

PETTlCOAT GOVERNMENT,

The Malay Islands seem to be a paradise
for wives, who are in such demand there
that they can make whatever matrimonial
terms they like. A recent divorce case
brought TO light a marriage agreement
which provided that the husband should
give his whole pay to his wife He was
also to stop smoking opium and not "cast
aspersions on the relatives of his wife. -
This last clause seems a dubious compli-
ment to the wife's family. but there IL
was. The poor man found his bargain
intolerable and broke 1t. Whereupon the
wife got a divorce

HUNT FOR HOPES
IS HOPELESS TASK
Few of the Suggested Ones
Stand the Test Of Close
Scrutiny.
fBv W. w. Naughton.)

San Francisco, Feb. 4.-Reverting to
the almost countless hopes Of the
white race that appear like flashes OF
summer lightning and then are neither
seen nor heard of again, 'Quien sabe'
wants TO know If they should not be
listed as blasted hopes"
Certainly, eQuien," any kind of a
word play you want You might, for
that matter, liken them to Shakspere's
Tender Leaves Of Hope which on
the third day had their shoots nip
ped by "a killing frost" Only the
average hope of the white race"
doesn't. last until the third day, as a
rule. He. is the creature OF a day and
the creation Of some manager or boost
er who wants to see his name in print
He is born between dusk and dawn
and he is entombed between dawn and
dusk. America is not the only place
where the perennial hope" springs
up They are saying now that Richard
Arast. the champion oarsman OF the
world and a native resident Of faroff
Zealand. is the latest to volunteer for
service as a hope
There was printed in several western
papers recently a cablegram purporting
to come from Wellington, New Zealand.
conveying the information mentioned
and giving in some particulars Arnsts
dimensions and his plan of campaign
against Jack Johnson The eablegram
said:
"Arnst stands a shade over six feet
and weighs, when in condition, zoo
pounds"
Right there suspicion was cast upon
the authenticity Of the deep sea dis
patch considering it came out of Brit
fish dominion. It should have said:

Is Versatile Fellow.
whether or not the cable is genuine,
and whether or not big Dick Arnst has
pugilistic aspirations, one thing is GER
fain-that he is a versatile fellow for
sure. He was the champion byciclist
of Australia when he got the idea
that there would be more money in
Craftsmanship In one short year he mas
tered the inwardness of rowing and
began to issue challenges He has had
but few matches, and he is now SO far
ahead Of other watermen that worthy
opponent cannot be found for him. If
he succeeds with boxing as well as he
did with bicycling and rowing. he will
be a marvel of adaptability and the
greatest aIl-round specialist the world
of sports has known There is no tell
ing his limitations. He might weary
OF fighting and cause Willie Hoppe
sleepless nights He might take to
aeroplaning and make the other bird
men look like sandpipers. But II is
seldom given to & man to be world
beater in several directions. and in SUD-
port of the argument, I viii mention
