Rab nil this time had been fully

beside us; Ailio's hand, which .lanu-s

soaked with his tears; Hah licked it all
over, carefully looked at her, and re-turned

If any sincere Chrintinn cast himself
with his whole will upon the Divine
Presence which dwells within Mm, ho
shall be kept safe unto the end. When
did we ever set ourselves sincerely to
any work according to the will of tiod
and fail for want of strength* It was
not that strength foiled the will, but
that the will failed first. If WO could
but embrace the Divine will with our
whole love, cleavln% to It and holding
fast to it, weshould be borne along, as

be in white and stiver, but eometlmee real
i Dowen are naed to adorn the

"What is the largest size weddingenke'"
"Wo sell some Weighing live hundred-
Or six hnudndwii^ht, and the
largest- for royalties—hBB been about ten
hundredweight, A mwedged km ■
plied for theoeremonyof 'cutting the cake,'
which is frequently donci howarer* in ad-ii,

bride to withdraw the Hgmenl easily,"
On nil sldai ware wedding e
shelves. Some of them w it h a light dl | Mil
uf almond Icing Upon their tops. They
were all ordered for forthcoming marriages.
"Tho icing," remarked thu guide, "is
done as required. A very large cake is
baked in iBetiOUl and afterward Titled to-gether.
Thai man there Is busy cutting
smaller cakes in halves, for you can never
tell from tho outside appeiu.nue whether
the cake Is thoroughly well baked Inside,
Wo therefore test every one."
"Now what is the real difference between
a wedding enko and a Christmas plum
eakef"
"It Is generally In the ornamentation.
The top of a Christinas cake is coated w it h
sugar king and picked out with color—•
say pink—and there Is also an km
A latlier i ;n istmas stands in tho center,
nnd there are small funey ornaments around
the llgure. Some, too, have holly on the
top, but people now and then prefer sweet-meats
Instead."
"And you say that there is a great de-mand
for tbemi"
-Wo send them all over the world. Wo
occasionally export cakes and puddings to
people abroad sullitient to last them thu
Whole year round. They go to India, Af-rica,
China, Egypt—In fact, everywhere. A
New Year's cake is similar to a Christina*
cake, with fancy decoration and llgnres."
"Do juu lind that Twelfth cakes are de-clining
In popularity!"
"Will, perhaps we do not sell quite so
many. They are as you know decorated
with figures, and a sheet of characters and
conundrums accompunies each cake, ac-cording
to the old custom. They are drawn
for."
"Is tho plan still followed of embedding
various articles in the cuker"
"Vis, that is still done. People bring us
rings, coins and buttons to put in tho cake.
In fact, we have inclosed in tho cake gold
watches and diamond rings. Hut It has
generally been arranged beforehand where
they should cut for such a prize—a llttlo
rosette or colored ribbon In the decoration
would be a MiMieieiit guide."
Conversation then turned upon school
cakes, which are ns full of currants and
■oltanai as can bodesired. Nut for peo-ple
of uiaturer years the fashion In cakes,
except on festival occasions, when the rule
may be, broken through, runs upon a light-er
and moat dlsnatthle cake. Here In tho
nent enrdbonrd boxes nre piles of Dundee
cakes, made of butter, flour and eggs, and
better than a dough cake of the schoolboy
kind. A Dundee cake has its due propor-tion
of sultanas and peel, and ll blather
richer In ouaUty than tM popular
Madeira. There are other varieties of light
rund cukes, such as seed and almond, and
the taste inclines to a heavier article
currant cako In various degrees of richness
can be hud, ami it Is remarkahlo how con*
scrvativu successive generations are in
their liking for good substantial take.
Before glancing at a few of the |
fog array of delicacies in tho way of biscuits,
attention is attracted to a huge atON M
plum puddings. Each pudding lain
neat white basin und securely lied up In its
cloth.
"Wo nre making 17,000 this year," sny>
the gentleman who is acting as guide
through this palace of dainties. "A great
many are sent abroad. They are dispafc b< 'I
in tin lined cast s, sometimes thirty to forty
in a case."
"llut can you tell mo who it Is who buy*
your puddings?"
"Kegular customers come year lift er year,
for twenty or more at a time, to give away
as Christinas presents. Most army ofllcers,
and those of the navy, too, want puddings.
The puddlngl which are sent abroad are
not packed in basins, hut in cloths, for they
travel batter. The puddings in these basins
are for homo consumption. They are ready
boiled."
"And are of all sizes?"
"Tho largest puddingconts, say, ten guin-eas,
nnd It would be sufficient for 500 or €00
men."—London Telegraph.
