RELIC OF fEUOAl TIMES.

Why Host Pours burgundy into Hi
Own Glass i,efore Serving Guests.
Three gentlemen were dining in an up-
town restaurant the other night when 8
bottle Of choice Burgundy was placed
before the host. He poured few dro,x
INTO his own glass and then filed the
glasses Of his guests. after which he
again turned his attention to his own.
Then they all lifted their glasses, inhaled
the delete aroma. and slipped the wine
gently.
That is one Of the few parties" said
the proprietor Of the restaurant to a re-
porter. indicating the man who was tax
ing the part of host, ''who knows how tc
pour wine. Most persons make a great
splurSe and send the wine gurgling init
the glasses Of their guests. The prore,
thing Is TO pour just little into " VI
own glass first and then fill those of you,
friends. This custom is relic Of anciei |,
feudal times. and is intended to indicate
that the wine is not drugged or poisoned
by showing that the host intends to par.
take of it also. In those days when
poisoning was highly developed art and
violence reigned supreme. even friends
might be forgiven for being a little
suspicious of each other. Even later In
the worlds history. a general serving un-
der the first Napoleon found it advisable
to insist upon his hosts drinking the
wine with him to be sure that it had not
been poisoned. In this instance, how.
ever, as the hosts patriotism inspired
them to include themselves among the
victims, the precaution was fruitless.
1T was during the wars of Napoleon
In Spain. The general had command Of
regiment of the guard of Jerome, ex-
king Of WesIphalia. The soldiers. weary
with hong days march. arrived under
the walls of Figueiras. The general sent
to the prior Of the convent in that town
refreshments for his officers
and men. The prior sent back word that
the men could find quarters in the town,
and that he would entertain the staff Of
ticers. Such an invitation from a pre-
sumable enemy aroused the generals
suspicious, and In order to BE- on the safe
side he invited the prior and two Of his
monks TO dine with him. After hearty
meal. supplemented by delicious wines
and liquors. tine general and his aids were
horrified to hear the following from their
host, who addressed them calmly and
Gentlemen. il you have
any worldly affairs to settle there is nc
time to lose; this is the last meal YOU and
shall take on earth: in an hour we
hall know the secrets Of the world to
Tome
within the time set, notwithstanding
aitidotes and physics prescribed by the
doctors, the prior's prediction was full.
Tiled. lie and his monks had put 1.
deadly poison in the wine to rid the
world Of their hated enemies. Although
he original reason for the custom has
no longer any force, it is con-
sidered a mark of ill breeding to neglect

LONDON, January 3-A rumor has gained

government are admittedly peculiar, but
they do not include n personal appeal 10
