THE LOVING CUP.
A Popular Custom OF the Present
Day That Dates from Anglo
Saxon Times.

Naturally some of the ancient city
customs are connected with the art
of dining, says Good Words. Gas
tronomy and the Guildhall are insep-
arably associated. One of the most
curious of these is the passing of the
loving cup, which takes place at all
the guild dinners as well as at the
banquets of the corporation.
The cup is a two-handled one with
lid. While one guest is holding the
lid, the next 81 ps the spiced wine; a
third, on the other side of the drink
err, stands up. Then. the brim, having
been wiped by a clean napkin, the
cup is passed to the guest holding the
lid. He drinks in his turn, while his
next neighbor takes charge of the lid
In this way the cup makes the round
of the table.
This custom dates from Anglo-Sax-
on times. The holding of the lid was
not then an act merely of courtesy,
for the guest who held it was thus
prevented from drawing his dagger
and stabbing the drinker--a playful
after-dinner practice not uncommon
in those times. Meanwhile the guest
who was standing guarded the drink
er from an assault from behind.

IF MAN WERE FLEA-LIKE.
A Fast One Could Easily jump
Around the Earth in an
Hour or Less.

Snyder, the calculating barber,
hadn't opened his lips for fully four
minutes, and it was plain to be seen
that he had something on his mind,
says the Philadelphia Record. Final
ly he swallowed twice, breathed hard
for a moment, and gave vent to his
feelings in this manner: 1--WE been
thinking what l could do if I were
only a flea. I read in scientific pa
per the other day that if man were
built on the same lines as a. flea he
could jump from Philadelphia to
Pittsburgh in one leap. | mean, of
course, if he had all the power of a
flea increased in proportion to his
size. Think how quickly he could cir
cumnavigate the globe. 1t might be
possible to get around the world in
an hour. The distance from Philadel-
phia to Pittsburgh is 354 miles. and
the equatorial circumference of the
earth is 24,902 miles. A simple cal
culation in mental arithmetic will
show you that this would be a frac-
ton over 70 leaps. 1t surely wouldn't
take minute for each jump, judged
from the liveliness of the flea. Think
of coming in here, with three or four
customers ahead of you. and. instead
of sitting down and waiting. just talk
ing few jumps around the world to
kill time. There you are, sir. Witch
hazel or rum?"

Lake View Farm.

L. S. Drew, proprietor Of Lake
View farm is as we'll known, perhaps,
as any farmer in Vermont, yet there
are doubtless many readers of this pa
per who have never seen him at home
and that means seeing him at his
best, therefore, | have thought that
short sketch of l.. S. Drew's farm
and his way of farming might be of
interest.
Lake View farm is situated three
miles south of Burlington on the
shore of Shelburne bay, and is one of
the best equipped and best managed
farms in the state. Mr.. Drew was
for many years manager of the Van
Ness house in Burlington, and it was
during these years that he improved
and stocked up his farm, but some
nine or ten years ago he quit the hotel
business for good and moved to the
farm, where he has since resided.
Mr.. Drew says he takes more COM
fort in one day on the farm than he
ever did in IA month in the hotel, and
why not? The hotel man is the SER
want of the public, and "the public
is a hard master; whereas, on the
farm he is lord and master of every
thing in sight. Mr.. Drew makes a
speciality of breeding Ayrshire cattle,
and Berkshire and Yorkshire hogs

ENTERTAINED BY A HEN.
The Fowl Lays an EgR In Pubiic anu
Her Orvner Promptly Swai-
lows 1t.

The WAYS OF a hen are often original
and sometimes mirth-provoking, and
a Plymouth Rock did novel and anus
ing things, to the joy of carload of
passengers, on a recent trip from Brad
dock to Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh
Commercial Gazette tells the story.
Carrying a hen proudly, a man who
was evidently a foreigner got on troll
ley car at Braddock. He was drowsy
and not quite sober, and he crossed his
legs, set the hen on his lap and went to
sleep.
Four miles out of Braddock the hen
suddenly woke from its own reverie
and cackled. Its owner opened his eyes
and found himself and his hen objects
of interest. He was annoyed. But the
passengers had more or less excuse for
staring; they had discovered fresh
egg resting snugly on the mans lap.
No one could speak the mans Ian
guage, but every one was bound that
he should know what had happened.
Twenty index fingers pointed to the
hen and 40 eyes were turned in the
same direction. Finally the stranger
lifted the hen tenderly and the secret
was revealed.
Then he was wide awake. With his
left hand he held the egg aloft, that all
might see; with his right hand he
nffectionately stroked the hen. Every
body smiled. All at once it seemed to
occur TO him that refreshments were in
order. He grinned at his fellow passen-
gers, tapped the shell on the edge Of the
seat to open a way to the interior and
swallowed the egg.

finest of the fine.
There are great many people that
have got the idea that a farmer who
raises thoroughbred stock, and that
keeps his farm in high state of Gull
tivation, his buildings painted, his
fences straight and strong, and the
whole appearance of the premises
clean and sweet, is a gentleman farm
er, or a fancy farmer, living on the
income of outside investments. They
think that a farm conducted in the
manner above described cannot be
made to pay expenses but that is not
the case with Mr.. Drew. He manag IS
his farm on strict business principles,
and knows just what each department
costs to maintain and what it yields.
Scales and record sheet in the barn
register the milk yield of each COW,
and a separator in the dairy room soon
determines the amount of cream OBJ
tanned. In the large, comfortable
barns, sheds and pens, all his stock
find ample shelter and the arrange
ments for feeding are very convenient.
A gasolene engine furnishes power
for threshing grain, saving wood, cut
ting ensilage, separating and churn-
ing. The location of Lake View farm
is an ideal one. The residence about
100 rods back from the lake shore on
gently rising ground, commands fine
view of Lake Champlain and the Adj
rondack mountains beyond. under
stand that an electric railroad is soon
to be constructed from Burlington to
Shelburne, which would pass Lake

Gov. Smiths Proclamation

The dawn of a new day-the blend
ing of the death of night into the life
and freshness of morning is a period
of beautiful sentiment and quiet rehec-
tion, and furnishes the imagery for a
poets song: the crumblng of the old
year, and the breaking forth of the
new, the fading memory of the ambi-
lions, the struggles, the failures, the
triumphs, of a year that has gone, dis
solving into the vision of bright hopes
and expectations of a twelve months
| That are to come, is a period trimming
with sober, serious thought, and fur
nishes the impulses, the resolutions,
the plans that, successfully carried
out, or as failures, fashion the charac-
ter and destiny Of individuals; but the
majestic sweep of one century into an
other, the swirl from hundred years to
hundred years, is period that makes
epochS in the affairs of the nations of
the earth and reveals the relation of
the past to the future. Looking over
the years from near the end of this
century towards it's beginning, one can
mark the expansion and development
or the wasting away and decay of the
nations, and see the expression of that
law of the Almighty which is life.
At this period, when the year 1899
is running out it's days, when the old
century is nearing it's end, and the
glowing dawn of the new is already
breaking with radiant promise of great
events in the sky of the future; when
our government and it's army and navy
have spread abroad the splendid posi-
bilities of our nations greatness, the
day of Thanksgiving of 1899 takes on
a new and broader meaning than the
day has ever had before.
1t is our duty to be mindful of it ALL
and to take cognizance of the relation
of things as they exist today.
