!. I'D THE LOVING CUP.

Its Origin Dates From the Assnssina.
tion " Kin: Edward.
The remote origin of the loving cup
dates from the story of the assussina-
tion of Edward, king and martyr, who
was stabbed in the back while drink
ing. 1t had been usual at feasts to
pass round large cup, which each, as
lie rose to drink, lifted with both
hands, exposing his body to attack.
This custom was altered, SO that when
one stood up to drink he who sat next
became his pledge and also rose,
drawn sword in hand, to protect him.
This practice in modified form con-
tinued long after changed conditions
Of society had ceased to need it and
was the origin of our custom of drink
ing healths and particularly of the
ceremonial, preserved in almost its
primitive form, of passing round the
loving cup, when, us each person rises
and takes the cup In his hand to drink,
the guest next to him also rises and
grasps the second handle.
Some authorities ascribe its origin
to Margaret, consort of Malcolm, king
of Scotland, and others to Henry Of
Navarre.-London Truth.

Salt and Charcoal for Hogs.

We have always made it rule to
keep plenty of salt available for the
use of the hogs. Salt ought to be
kept at the end of the trough or in
the feed pen at all times, and placed
where the herd can have daily ar
cess to it. Hogs require salt just as
much as other stock. Charcoal an d
wood ashes should also be put where
the hogs can have all they want to
eat. Charcoal is relished by swine of
all ages, and they thrive upon it,,
Burnt corn cobs make excellent
charcoal. If the swine raiser will see
that there is always plenty of salt
and charcoal in his feed pens avail
able at all times of the year, he can
count on his chances of not having
cholera as being much better than
his neighbor who reglects to supply
the above substances.

Mnrriase In the Isle. ., Greece.

In Kaso, one of the most southern
islands Of Greece, the parents upon
both sides take upon themselves all the
responsibilities OF courtship and mar
riage. Courtship, as we understand it.,
Is got In any way permitted to the be-
trotled couple. No moonlight walks or
tete-a-tetes are allowed. Such n course
would be deemed highly rcprehensible,
and all wooing, il there be any, must
take place III the presence Of the cld-
crs. But there is 10 great time for re-
pining at these DEGREES of custom, for
the marriage follows the offer as
quickly MS may be.
