DRINKING of Healths.

The drinking OF healths In wine or
liquor or other kinds originated In
Britain at the time of the rule OF the
Danes, before Alfred the Great finally
succeeded in driving them from the
land. Owing to the assassination OF
Englishmen by the Danes, 1t became a
custom to enter into compacts for the
mutual preservation of health and Sc
curity. These compacts were usually
pledged in wine. and hence the custom
of drinking healths.-London Standard.
