Yesterday afternoon my money gnvo out

Tho fastest rnto of siitsl attained by n rnll-l-oad

hlo dispute. A few trains, both in this coun

short distance nt the rate of sixty miles nil
hour, although tho number of trains that
average forty miles mi hour Is very small.
It has licon doubted If it wero possible to at
tain n siced of much over sixty-five or sov
cnty miles an hour, even under tho most fa
vorable conditions. A corrcs'Kiiidcntof Tho
English Mechanic, however, writes thnt dur
ing n recent Journey on ono of tho regular

What lo Do With Colli Pliiin Pudding.
Tho remains of plum pudding nrosomo
times broiled lu slices, sometimes converted
Into fritters. A moro elegant way of serving
them Is the following suggested by Mrs. Hen
derson, 1,1 no n chaiiotlo mold or basin with
slices, of cold plum pudding cut to fit closely
together. Kill the llinldo with a sulltcleut
quautit) of golatlno pudding madeas follows;
Separate the whiles undjclks of four eggs;
Willi Iho yelks mnko u hoi)cd custard (with n
pint of milk and sugar to taste); set a third
of a Imix of gelatine lo HO.ik it few minutes In
n little cold water, then dissolve It w Ith threo
quarters of a cupful of boiling water. When
the custard has cooled, add tho golatlno water
and the whiles of the oggs lieutcti toustllf
froth; Minor with vanilla, stir nil together
ami put it into tho mold. It will settle Into
three layers and Is u very pretty pudding.
New Year's Cuke.

Tiro gooso may bo considered tho popular
and traditional fowl of tho holiday season as
tho turkey is of Tliaulcsglvlug. Many poo
plosup'Hiso thnt tho two liinln aro carved in
tho same manner, but Good Housekeeping ux
plains that tho gooso nspjlrcs mora strength
and skill and a illirpient muthoil of carving
from any other fowl.
TO CAllVK A fiUOHB.
The npprovtsl plan Is to plnco tho gooso on
tho platter with tho head at tho left ami In
sert tho fork firmly across tho rldgo of tho
breast lone. Cut through tno llesh w hero tho
wing joins tho Ixsly, work tho point of tho
knlfo Into tlio Joint ami with tho sldoof tho
kulfo press the wing over from tho body and
cut until tho Joint separates. Then cut
through tho llesh mid separate It from tho
liody. Cut lietwisiii tho leg and tho lxxly,
imw tho leg over with tho sldo of tho kulfo
till you see tlio joint. Then cut through tho
flesh close to tho body. If tho bird bo old
ntul tough you will havo to feel with tho
knlfo for the Joint.
In carving tho breast lieglniittho wing and
cut straight down through tho meat to tho
bono tho whole length of tho breast as Indi
cated by the long lines of the cut. Cutdown
in thin iuiralli'1 slices until yini como to tho
ridgo of tho breast Isino. Cut down between
tho wishbone nml tho breast to tho wing,
then slip the kulfo under tho slices nt tho
lower cud of tho breast, and scmrato them
from tho bones. I .ay them aside ami cut in
tlio samo mmmer on tho other sldo of tho
breast. Mnko several cuts at right angles
with tlio breast bono through tho skin and
stulllug K'tweon breast and tall, and ro- j
move the stulllug, i
With tlio fork still in tho breast liono tip
tho bird over slightly nml with tho jiolnt of
tho knlfo remove tho delicate portion In tho
hollow of thosldoliouo; a llttlo may Iks shaves 1
olf tho lower ei I go of the side Isine. Tho
llttlo meat there may boon wUhUiuo, shoulder
blado nml sldo bono may lie cut olf without
disjointing tho Ixmcs. 80, as soon as tho
breast is carved, remove tlio fork, disjoint tho
legs and wings mid U'gln to serve.
Cuke for Children.
A kneaded plum cako Is much liked by
children, nml is included by many books in
tho list of holiday good things. The ingre
dients aro two nud one hull' caps of sugar,
half 11 cup of butter, half n cup of sour milk,
two spoonfuls of cream, it teaspoouful of
Balcrntus, hulf 11 Rioouful of chummon mid
