Drinking Etiquette.

London brewers Guardian.
The custom of touching glasses prior
to drinking healths is very common in
England and other countries, and
especially in Germany. 1t isS curious
to trace how this custom has prevailed
and still exists even 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 ancients celebrated 4 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 q custom
of drinking together q little brandy, as
a sign that the marriage is concluded.
In China similar customs are met with.
In the medieval banquets Of Germany
twas the custom to pass o loving 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 our college
halls, is said to have arisen from the as
sassination Of King Edward. It was
then the custom of the Anglo axons to
pass round o large cup, from which
each guest drank. lie who thus drank
stood up, and, as he lifted up the emp
with both hands, his body was exposed
without any defense to a blow, and the
occasion was often seized by an enemy
to murder him. To prevent this the
following plan Eas adopted: when n
of the company stood up to drink he
required the companion who sat next to
him to be his pledge--that is, to be re-
sponsible for protecting him against
anybody who should attempt TO take
advantage of his defenseless 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 she condition
of society had ceased to require it, and
was the origin of the modern practice
Of pledging by drinking. In drinking
from the flowing cup" as low practice
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 emp in his turn, the individual next
TO him does the same.

The New York correspondent of the
Detroit Tribune relates q great many
droll incidents. One Of his latest eff
forts is an account of the reception ac-
corded to a timid, young lady, in
search of a contribution for charity, by
the s~lngger Sullivan the day after his
fight with Latin. The pugilist had
celebrated his victory in the usual man
ner, and gone to bed with his boots on.
Next morning he had hardly awakened
when a bell boy brought 0 card. The
narrative proceeds:
"Sbow the duffer up" the champion
said, without looking at the card.
I" faint no duffer, sir. Anyhow. ]

her sort?" DAISY" aRise her up"
aBut she said she'd wait in the parlor,
if you'd be kind enough to see her
there" Sullivan loafed down to the
public parlor, no more than half awake
from his tipsy sleep, and doomed upon
the startled vision of as dainty n little

She rose and advanced timidly to the
giant, whose big, red, british face re-
Taxed none of its characteristic scowl.

yorreelf, if you please. W. could cell
them for a dollar apiece" She did not
know that the ideal of the sue
cessful slugger is most threatening when
he is amiable. When Sullivan glowed
savagely down on her, with O wicked
leer in his eyes and an expression OF
nausea around his mouth and nose, she
wouldn't have been surprised if annihlla.

s'Of course, Mr.. Sullivan, if it would
be distasteful to you, don'tdo it," and
she shyly reiterated backward, keeping
her mild eyes fixed on his, because she
had read of that method as the only n
for getting out of a wild beasts cage.

explained why that plan would not do.

with unsteady toll Sullivan signed his

he, as he took one of his visitors hands

complete the conquest, and he very
savagely added: "An' ifye kin arrange

One of the most peculiar characters
In Conneticutis John Maher, of Ansonia,
known as John Who Never Sleeps.
John il an Irishman who is making for
himself q little fortune as s 80 per day
by working thirteen hours in the fac
tory. Thither he goes every day, rain
or shine, and he is V i'll. On the
remaining eleven hours he deyotes sew
en- to labor and four to sleep. This
perpetual living without sleep causes a
great deal of annoyance to his neigh
bors and to everybody within a mile of
him who wishes to sleep when he is at
work. He Is thin, nervous aud as sup
Pile al a Rocky Mountain goat. He is
only 40, but looks aged, because of his
devotion to rsensy getting. He has
never made but one losing speculation.
Christopher Matthews, a Lynchburg
lad, is q rival of the numerous magnetic
girls, his speciality being the moving OF
heavy tables, with men opposing him.
A heavy oak table, which his father
owns, has been badly used up by him,
and is now under repair. A few nights
ago, it is alleged, lie kept a table sus-
pended In the air, at q neighbor's house,
with four Oh five men attempting with
all their strength to get it to the floor.
At another time he literally tore a large
dinner table into fragments, while sew
eral men were working with all their
might to wrest it from him."
Lieutenant Greedy recently wrote TO
a friend in New Orleans in response to
some cordial greetings from his old ar
my friends: mo words are more

flag which / send by Lockwood's hands

some day to send to my old lodge. The
active efforts of the louisiana delegation
for my relief indicate, / trust, that my

have been unable to attend the French
races In which their horses were en-
tered. The illness of both these mon
ey kings is sald to have been caused by
oyerwork, the tremendous strain of their
immense financial operations having
told heavily on their strength. The
common idea that the great fnan-
cial magnates of the world have an a
life, is refuted by the experience OF
the R~othscnilds. who are the hardest
working of men. Some one asked
Baron Alphonse Rothschild lately why
he did not give up his business. His
reply was: cit would take me25 years
to settle my affairs sufficiently to enable
me to withdraw from the Arm.
