Loving cnp Prophecies.

have not seen any loving cup passed
that is true to It's name. The loving cup
originated as matter of precaution in
olden times when apparent friends had
an unpleasant method Of killing friend
who was a rival while he was drinking.
So an immense heavy cup was made with
a heavy cover The method of using it
can still be witnessed at banqucts at the
Mansion House in London.
The person receiving it stands and
turns to his neighbor, who also rises
and takes the cover with both hands.
The first person then raises the heavy
cup to his lips with both hands, and,
having slipped of the contents, holds it
while the friend at his side replaces the
cover and takes the cup, repeating the
same process in turn with his next
neighbor. Thus, both hands being occu-
pied, there is no possibility of one friend
stabbing another.
In our time the custom has degener-
ated, and the cover, as rule, disap-
peared. Nevertheless if both hands were
occupied that would not prevent tongues
from wagging later, and words are
sometimes sharper than swords. Phil

blue Stockings.

According to an English magazine the
appellation blue stockings" originated
in the dress of a Benjamin Stillingfeet,
grandson of the bishop, as he used to
appear at the parties of Mrs. Montague,
in Portman square. He used to general
ly wear blue worsted stockings, and he
was very amiable and entertaining
man. Whenever he was absent from
Mrs. Montague's evening parties as his
conversation was very interesting, the
company used to say, 1--WE can do moth
ing without the blue stockings. By de-
grees the assemblies were called "blue

Felfcan ana Duck In q Duet.
In Kew gardens, in the presence of q
considerable number Of spectators, an
affair Of honor was settled between a
pelican and duck. The birds had had
words together, so to speak, and the
pelican determined that the next best
thing to making the duck eat his words
was to eat the duck. So, after little
thrust and parry ON the water, he made
for the smaller bird and snapped it into
his pouch.
Then battle royal began inside the
pouch of the pelican. The duck strug-
gled, kicked, quacked and occasionally
managed to get a leg ora wing outside,
while his captor threw his beak high in
the air, then dipped it into the water,
and kept it there, as If trying to suf-
focate or drown it's enemy From the
look of the agitated pouch it seemed as
if the contest was by no means one sided.
but that the pelican was having rather a
rough time.
At last the duck got his head and one
wing ont, and then, with magnificent
effort, managed to get entirely free
Once again Oh the water the duck de-
clined further combat and fled, while
the pelican remained, looking as if honor
were thoroughly satisfied. London Tel
