Drinking Etiquette.
London Brewers Guardian.

LONDON brewers OudTu1aIl.
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 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 anc1ents celebrated 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 custom
OF drinking together 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 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 our 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, and, as he lifted up the cup
with. both hands, his body was exposed
| without any defense to a blow, and the
oc.asion was often seized bv an enemy
