Drinking Etiquette.
London Brewers Guardian

AOuuOn DTeWerS tuarQlan.
The custom of touching glasses prior
to drinking healths is very common in
England and other countries, and
especially in Germany. 1t is curious
to trace how this custom has prevailed
and still exists ven among savage tribes.
To drink out of the same cup and to eat
off the same plate was one OF the ways
in which the anclents celebrated a mar
riage, and the wedding feast continues
to be not the least important Of the
marriage ceremonies to the present day.
The Indians of Brazil retain a custom
Of drinking together a little brandy, as
a sign that the marriage is concluded.
In China similar customs are met with.
In the medieval banquets of Germany
il. was the custom to pass o flowing cup"
from hand to hand, but this gradually
necessitated that the cup should be Of
enormous size, and thus smaller cups
or glasses were adopted, and the old
custom was conformed to by the drink
ers touching their glasses before drink
Ing The ceremony attending the pas
sing and drinking out Of the loving
cup" as practiced at our great city
festivals and at some of u college
halls, is said to have arisen from the as
sassination of King Edward. It was
then the custom Of the Anglo-Saxons to
pass round q large cup, from which
each guest drank. He who thus drank
stood up, snd, AZ he lifted up the cup
with both hands, his body was exposed
without any defense toa blow, and the
OCCASION was often seized by ar enemy
to murder him. To prevent this the
following plan vas adopted: when one
of the company stood up to drink he
required the companion who sat next to
him TO be his pledge-that is, to be res
sponsible for protecting him against
anybody who should attempt to take
advantage Of his defenssless position.
This companion stood up also, and
raised his drawn sword in his hand to
defend the drinker while drinking.
This practice, in a somewhat altered
form, continued long after the condition
Of society had ceased to require it, and
wasthe origin of the modern practice
Of p1edging BY drinking. In drinking
from the flowing cup" as now practic-
ed, each person rises and takes the cup
in his hand to drink and, at the same
time, the person seated next to him
rises also, and when the latter takes
the cup in mis- turn, the individual next
to him does the same,

Neither prov1a.no. Nor 1uo1.

A Wisconsin da,ryman uttered a great
and pregnant truth when he remarked
at q meeting Of dairyman that "it was
not a special dispensation of Providence
that Mr.. Wright received $98 per head
for the yearly product of his COWS,
while his next door neighbor received
only $50 per head" So it is not q
special act of providence that on one
side of a fence the corn yields 80 bush
els per acre and the hay three tons,
The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1885-01-09

while on the other side the products are
80 bushels of corn and barely . single
ton of hay. An enterprising farmer
writes that he is "cutting o second crop
of clover which yields a full ton of hay
per acre." and his neighbors wonder
how it is.

To CLEAN THE HAIR. Wash the head
and hair in warm water in which you
have dissolved a t%easpoonful or more of
powdered borax. 1t is n good plan to
scrub the head with mail brush as you
wash it. Rinse off with pure water and
let the hair hang down until dry.
Borax is also an excellent dentifrice.
Dissolve a little of the powdered borax
in water, and dip the brush into it; or
dip the brush into the dry powder.
Clean the teeth in pure water the last
thing at night, and it Is also best to
clean them after each meal, but few

ounce of mace, an ounce of whole black
pepper, and a little mustard seed.
Drain che cabbage, put back in the jar,
scald the vinegar and spices, and pour
over the cabbage, repeating the scald-
ing operation two Of three times, and
cover the jar tight. The cabbage will
be a handsome red color and very orna-
mental to the table.

The Mighty African Rivers.


From the Edinburgh Review.
The Congo. unlike most other great
rivers, has nc delta. When, by its own

but at present it discharges into tho
sea by q single, unbroken estuary, sew
en- and one-half miles across, in which
a sounding line Of 200 fatLoms does not
everywhere touch the bottom, and q
current runs Of five to seven knots an
hour. The enormous volume Of the
overflow may, from these data, be i'm
perfectly estimated; and, in point Of
TACT, the Congo, although overmatched
as regards the length Of its course by
more than NJ rival stream, stands sec
ond only to the Amazon, for the unva-
rylng ~copiousness Of ita waters. Capt.
Burton places ct the surprising figure
OF at least $500, 900 cubic feet pei
second the volume OF water borne
by it, and the admitted and sober
estimate is 1000, 900. Now the Missls-
slpp,, when at the height Of its March

It's mean discharge is CTS. 600 cubic feet

q third OF the contents Of the giant
stream Of North America. Moreover,
the Congo never runs low. Il swells,
indeed and sink, rs the rainy and dry
seasons succeed each other, but within
9 relatively narrow range Of oscillation.
Such extreme inequalities as are OBJ

Why, You silly fellow, it means that

He began to realize it then. but still
you can imagine that he felt rather

"And so my little Mabel is the heir

she interrupted him.

And then she stopped, the violet

again, as he stopped towards her, say
ing, Very well, darling; but I must

Three months after the security was

while with smiling serenity Mrs. Creigh-

ting her old advocacy of Emily Cum

Joy, if the Mabel Creighton that

The organ made by the Rosevelts for
the cathedral built by the widow of A.
T. Stewart at Garden City, LII, is the
most extensive instrument of the kind
in the world. 1t has lis stops and ~
252 pipes, and cost 100000. Most of
it is set in an octagonal chamber made
by the angle where the transept and
chancel walls join, fifteen feet in diam
eter, and extending from the basem ent
floor upward to adistance of forty feet.
A remarkable feature is its construc-
tion so as to distribute the sounds in
four different parts of the cathedral at
once. e.all remaining under control of the
player at the main organ. The four di-
visions are classified as follows: Chan
eel, fifty-four stops; tower thirty eight
stops; chapel, fifteen stops echo, eight
stOps.
Steam power is employed in initiating
the bellows. There are double engines
of ten horse power beneath the chancel
division to supply it with compressed
air, and the speed is governed as far as
possible, by the rise and fall of the bel
lows. In the room beneath the vesti-
bule, directly under the tower division,
IL single engine of ten horse power.
The greatest novelty is the electric
chime action, by which thirteen bells
in the organ tower are played from the
solo manual. The bells are rung with
the same force and precision as though
struck in usual manner, and may be
rung i'm connection with the music that
is played OIL the organ. The organ cas-
es, made in Philadelphia, are magnifi-
cent specimens of carving i'm decorated
English Gothic, profusely enriched.
