IL also appears that cargocs OF this
character have been seized by the British
authorities because Of belief that
though not originally 50 intended by the
shippers. they win ultimately reach the
, territory OF the enemies Of Great Britain.
Yet thus belief Is frequently reduced to
mere fear in view Of the emOargoes which
have been dccrced by the neutral couu-
tries 70 which they are destined on tho
articles composing the Cargoos.
That Ct consignment to order OF ar
'.ulcs listed as conditional coutraband and
shipped to n neutral port raises legal
presumption Of enemy destination appears
'p Doe directly contrary Ia the doctrines
previously held by Great Britain and thus
stated by Lord salisbury during the South
African war:

THE SIGNIFICANCE. OF Y.
CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

The custom of decorating with
holly Christmas is an ancient one BY
some, is regarded as a survival of
the usuages of the Italian SSaturnalia
and by Others it has been thoughti a
development of an old Tetitonic pra'c'
tice Of hanging the interior, Of dwell.
ings with everygreens as refuge OF
the spirits of the woods from the in
clemency of the weather.
In the English county of Rutland it
is deemed particularly unlucky to in.
troduce the evergreen into the house
before Christmas eve In some Eng
lish rural districts the prickly and the
nonprickly sorts are distinguished as
che" and "she." And in Derbyshire
the tradition is current that, accord.
ing as the holly is smooth or rough,
the wife or the husband will be mas.
ter. The holly that has been put to
sacred uses, as the adjoining of
churches in parts of England, is much
esteemed and cherished, the posses.
sion of a small branch with berries
being supposed to bring a lucky year.
At one time notion was prevalent in
Germany that twig of consecrated
holly hung over the door would ward
off evil spirits
Closely associated with the holly is
the mystic mistletoe, which has been
an object of veneration for centuries

ENGLISH Plum PUDDING
AND How TO PREPARE 4

With Christmas day only a few
days off preparations fer the festival
day will soon be underway. The one
important topic is the menu for the
Christmas dinner. No Christmas din
'ner is complete without the old;fash-
Toned English plum pudding the roast
turkey and the mince pie. Here is q
recipe for the English plum pudding.
Take One.half spound Of slet, one
half pound of5cnrrents, one.half pound
of sugar, one-llalf ..pOund eo Of stale
bread crumbs one.fourth pound of
flour, one teaspoQnful 3of ground Gin

cloves, one-half teaspoonful Of nut
meg, one.half teaspoonful Of ginger,
grated rind .aOf two lemons, pne-half
pound citron, or orange peel six eggs
and one. half cup offbrandy.
1; Chop the suet finely; clean the cur
rants, seed the raisins and scut the
peel quite small. Put all together in.
/. to bowl, add the lemon rind, sugar,
spices, -four and bread crumbs, and
moisten with the well beaten eggs
and brandy. Turn into well creased
bowls or pudding molds and steam or
boil eight hours. These puddings will
keep indefinitely but will required to
be boiled for an hour before serving.
A simple method to use IN the fol.

humps of sugar in alcOh0l and set it
