ORIGIN OF PUNCH is TRACED
English Brought the Drink from india
Humorous Mistake Made by
Sehleswlg Magnates.

In Germany punch is the national
drink for the night of st. Sylvester,
when Germans finish the year by
drinking punch, usage observed even
by the kaiser himself. Punch is what
they drink when they have colds.
Moreover. we are told that the Eng
fish brought punch from India. 1t
takes its name from panscha, a San
scrit word for five, because such is
the number of the ingredients. arrak
or rum. tea, sugar, lemon and hot wa.
ter. Il was in 1895 that the English
first celebrated the New Year with
punch.
A contemporary relates an amusing
story in connection with punch. When
Frederick VII. came to Flensburg. in
Schleswig, he gave banquet to the
notables OF the district. After the
dessert he desired a court official to
inquire how the guests had enjoyed
his hospitality. They hesitated to ex-
press an opinion, but at length one,
bolder than his fellows. resolved to
speak freely.
Everything was excellent save the
punch. The magnates OF Schleswig
had drunk for punch the warm water
charged with perfume which had been
placed before them for additions.

suffering and forbearance. The
material for the building is ar
irving now by every train, and
we are assured the structure
will be up and doing business
quicker than you can say Jack

same as the one at Elida, and
will be erected on the street just
west of the pool hall. AS this

the work of building may be be-
