Origin % Health Drinking.
Tho custom Of drinking the health
Of the most popular man at the table
has its foundation In the ancient prac-
hce originated BY the Greeks and
adopted by the Romans Of drinking
to the gods and the dead, observes an
exchange. The Greeks and Romans
later began the practice Of drinking
to each other, and from this arose the
custom Of toasting living men. But
health drinking in its modern form.
originating In England in the royster-
ing days Of Charles II, begins with
the custom of drinking to the Indies or
to any woman who happened to be the
reigning belle Of the court. Many and
various were the quaint customs asso-
ciated with the toasts of those days.
For example, in certain companies of
officers etiquette demanded
that the cup should be passed from
hand to hand. In many midnight
of Alsatia, gallants stabbed
themselves in the arms in order to
drink with their blood the health Of
the woman ON whom their hearts were
set.

France Is utterly weary of the war

Still Hope Of Russia.
England still has high hopes OF
Russia. That was why the British gov

that in the end Russia will come out
all right and will be able to render the
cause OF the allies the most valuable

Cut Flower, Med Air.

II cut flowers are squeezed into a
vase so tightly that the air Is exclud-
ed they will be smothered to death.
That is the reason why many bou-
Quets do not last as long as they
should. A wide-mouthed vase is the
best kind to use because it admits
oxygen in plenty. Tall, slender vases
are very attractive for long-stemed
flowers like carnations but they. have
one fault-the water In them becomes
warm very quickly, and this warmth
is transmitted to the flowers, causing
them to wilt. The water in vases OF
this kind should be changed twice .
