early homeopathists says the Lit

would seem to be on the other
side, for we find a theory of the
emotions gaining ground in which
the physical symptoms are regard

and physicians Of reputation do
not hesitate to treat these with
remedial agents. This is only

The style with Three Handles At
t1buted to Hurry Of
Navarro.

The loving cup is an old, old IN
stitution whose origin goes back
probably to the dim days of Saxon
England. Authorities differ as to
the date of its invention, but Eng
lish historians, like William of
Malmesbury, attribute it to the
feeling of CONSERVATION that
arose in England over the assass
ination Of King Edward in 97S,
Edward, surnamed the Martyr,
was stabbed in the back while
drinking in the saddle by servants
of his mother-in-law, Elfrida. The
heavy wine cup of that day re
quired two hands to grasp it, a
fact which, as illustrated by the
successful attack on Edward, left
a man helpless at the hands of his
enemy.
The Saxons, who were, as is
we'll known, great drinkers, were
in the habit of passing a large,
heavy cup around at a banquet to
be drunk from by the guests in ro-
tation. He who thus drank the
health Of some one Of the company
stood up to do so, lifting the cup to
his mouth with both hands, while
the person whose health he drank,
or his pledge, as he was called. as
sumed the responsibility of pro,
tecting him from assault.
The pledge, who usually was the
person sitting next the drinker,
stood up also, raising his drawn
sword in his hand the while to de-
fend the drinking man.
This practice continued long
after the conditions of social life
had ceased to require it, but, modi-
fed, it has survived in the modern
loving cup as passed around on
ceremonial occasions, such as the
lord mayors feast or the Inns Of
Court banquets in London.
A pretty story attributes thu
invention OF the three Low
ing cup to Henry of Navarro (Hen
ryIV. of France). 1t tells how the
king while out hunting one day
became separated from his com
panions, and, feeling thirsty
called at a wayside inn for a cuI
Of wine. The serving maid OF
handing it to him as he sat OF
horseback neglected to presen

Honey Gatherers That Have Very
Loose Moral Ideas.
Almost every form and variety Of hui
man crime is to be found among ami
mails. Cases Of theft are noticed among
bees. Buchner in his Psychic Life Of
Animals speaks Of thievish bees
which, in order to save themselves the
trouble of working, attack well stocked
hives in masses, kill the sentinels and
the inhabitants, rob the hives and car
~ of the provisions. After repeated
enterprises of this description they ac-
Quire a taste for robbery and violence
They recruit whole companies, which
get more and more numerous, and
finally they form regular colonies Of
brigand bees.
But 1t is still more curious fact that
these brigand bees can be produced ar
tifcially by giving working bees q mix
ture Of honey and brandy to drink.
The bees soon acquire taste for this
beverage, which has the same disas-
rous effects upon them as upon men.
They become i'll disposed and irritable
and lose all desire to work. and finally,
when they begin to feel hungry, they
attack and plunder the well supplied
hives
There is one variety of bees = the
ephecodes - which live exclusively up
on plunder.

VARIETIES OF CRAMPS.
Curious Amict1ons OF Men In Various
Walks Of Life.

Curious Affections OF Men In Various
walks Of Life.
One of the curious consequences Of
the modern division Of labor is the
cramp that attacks those who constant
ly use their hands in one particular
manner.
Writing cramp was the first to ap-
pear, being quite unknown until the in
PRODUCTION of steel pens 1t affects men
far oftener than the fair sex, and, sin
gularly, those who suffer are not liter
ary men, but copyists. 1t Is almost in
BILE, and even when the left hand
is used the cramp very soon crosses
over to It,
Musicians of every kind are attacked.
Among pianists it Is chiefly ladies am
bilious to become professionals who
are the victims. Violent pain, weak
ness and fatigue of the arm make play
Ing an impossibility. Violinists are at
fected both in the fingers Of the left
hand and the hand that holds the bow.
Clarinet players get cramps. of the
tongue, and flute players get cramp in
the larynx.
Telegraphers suffer very often, and
they call it 'loss of the grip Tailors
get cramps in legs as we'll as hands.
Smiths and carpenters get what is
called hammer cramp," resulting from
the enormous number of blows struck.
It Is estimated that forger Of knives
and scissors strikes $4,000 blows every
day.
Drivers get cramps in the hand, espe-
cially In the case Of those who break in
hard mouthed horses. Cigarmakers,
watchmakers, photographers, auction
GERS. sawyers, billiard players, dentists.
turner's, stampers, weavers, painters,
money counters and ballet dancers-all
suffer from their own peculiar cramps
and often so severely that they have to
exchange their employment for some
other.

How to Rest.

To understand how to rest Is of moro
importance than to know how to work.
The latter can be learned easily. The
former it takes years to learn, and some
people never learn the art Of resting
1t is simply change of scenes and ac-
tivities. Loafing may not be resting;
sleeping is not always resting; sitting
down for days, with nothing to do, Is
not restful A change is needed to
bring into play different set Of facul-
ties and to turn the life into a new
channel. The man who works hard
finds his best rest In playing hard; the
man who Is burdened with care finds
relief In something that is active, yet
free from responsibility. Above all,
keep good natured and don't abuse
your best friend. the stomach.
