Some time ago, writes a volunteer In
the London Telegraph, I spent a week
with a garrison battery in a south coast
fort. On the last day the sergeants sat
down to an exceptionally fine dinner.
the crowning glory of which waa a
large plum pudding. I had made the
pudding two days before, had it boiled,
and now, reheated, It made Its appear
ance, amid the welcome shouts of my
brother warriors, and I naturally felt
a bit nroud of it, for I hadn't been a
shin's cook for nothing.
"Seems mighty hard," remarked the
sergeant major, as he vainly tried to
stick his fork Into it. "Have you oouea
us a cannon ball, Browneyr
"Or the regimental football?" asked
another.
"Where did you get the flour from?"
questioned Sergt. Smitn.
"Where fromr I retorted. "From
store No. 6. of course."
"The deuce you did!" roared the
quartermaster sergeant. "Then, hang
you, you've made the pudding - with
Portland cement."
And so It proved. Thai podding is

"Bobbins" the Ballets,

discussed by a writer in the St. James'
Budget in thlsjswiset Ought one to
bob when a bullet is presumably com
inar for one's head? As far as a non-
combatant can judge, I Bhouldsay that
not to bob. on certain occasions would
be extreme folly. A cool man might
bob on certain occasions, but I should
not expeat that ha would "cut and
run" any more than the man who had
hie head blown off by a bit of a shell
for not bobbing, which sounds Irish.
Gen. Gordon himself says in his Jour
nal I "For my part, I think judlolous
bobbing is not a fault, for I remem
ber on two occasions seeing shells be
fore my eyes which aertainly, had 1
not bobbed, would have taken off my
head." Bo aavs that in the Crimea
it was considered mean to bob, and
thev used to try to avoid It. One of
his follow-offlcers used to tors "It Is
all welt for you, but I'm a family
man." And he used to bob at every re
port.
