These are called pives. and often the
entertainment is elaborate. 1 remem-
Der going to one in upper Burma. There
was good deal of dancing, but neither
the host nor the guests danced; that
would have been undignifed. The
dancers were paid. and they t~irled
lazily or jumped excitedly as occasion
required. Most OF the time, however,
was spent in chatter and smoking
Smoking is the only thing at which
the Burmese are industrious. They
start smoking at the early age of three,
and they smoke themselves into the
next world. Girls smoke quite as ar
daously as the men. and as the cigars
are big. many pretty mouth is strain

CURIOUS DRINKS.
what some OF the Ancient Liquors Were
Like.

What Some OF the Ancient Liquors Were
Like.
When the question of the moment Is
how to allay our thirst, the beverages
of history are OF moro than ordinary
interest. The Egyptians, who have
been ungallant enough to leave behind
them delineations of the fair sex in
state Of intoxication, had several kinds
of wine more than 5000 years ago. in
addition to a beer called Hega, made
from barley. The ancient Assyrians,
too, loved their wine. The earliest
mention Of wine In the Bible is ref
erence to Noah planting vineyard and
getting drunk with the wine. The
drinks Of antiquity were sometimes, to
say the least, peculiar. The Greeks and
Romans. whose customary drink was
wine, often mixed it with sea water.
Other ancient beverages were honey
and rain water; honey, salt water and
vinegar; and a mixture of honey and
myrtle seed.
Homer speaks OF q wine to which
| twenty times as much water could be
added. The Roman lover, when drink
ing to his lady, often drank as many
cups of wine as there were letters in
her name. Warm water was some
| timesregarded by the Romans as an
agreeable drink at the conclusion Of
the chief meal. 1t is safe to assume
that this was not in the summer time.
Famous among drinkers were the
Vikings, whose liquors were ale, beer,
wine and mead. Quafing ale from the
skulls of their enemies formed one of
the chief attractions Of the promised
Valhalla.
All through our history we find a
love for drinking prevalent among the
people. A drink much in demand in
the time Of Chaucer was bracket, made
OF the wort Of ale, honey and spices.
By the time Of Edward w drinking
had become so productive of crime
that few places were allowed more
than two taverns. London had to be
content with forty. Under the Stuarts
drunkenness was at its height. Thirst
provokers were largely taken, and 3
mans claim to distinction was largely
) due to his bottle capacity, while ladies
Of the court thought it 70 shame to be-
come inebriated. The three or Ave
bottle man was an object OF envy tc
his fellows. Indeed, the scenes of Ho-
garth are but sidelight on the times
Signs were hung outside taverns In
forming the thirsty wayfarcr that he
could get drunk for a penny" and
dead drunk for twopence." Such no.
tees often ended with the significant
words, Clean straw for nothing" With
the reign of George w disappeared
fashionable intemperance, and "drunl
as lord" was no longer a correct
smile.
