st. Louis Post.Dispatch,
The present hot term has developed al
universal thirst that surpssses any thing evel
known in the history of the city. The various
drinking resorts are full all the time and
the dispensers of liquids are the hard
est worked men in the community. Oceans
of liquid refreshments hourly disappear down
parcDed throats into psrboiled stomachs
and the usual salutstiOn of friends meeting
ia always followed BY an Adjournment 10
places where the Rhine winesparkles and the
foaming lager flows. A singular illustration
of the fear that the torrid heat has engender'
ed is the almost total abstinence from heat
Ing drinks.
Old topers are "lettipg up" with great
spised. Occasionally man walks into ga
loon, orders his usual three fingers and eulps
il down, but he generally produces verita-
ole sensation. Less hardened drinkers look
upon him with awe as a man who courts
destruction and is practically taking his life
in his hands.
The usual rushing summer trade in beer
has fallen off and the saloons all report light
tills and no demand for lager. AT Bessebps,
beer headquarters, the trade is very light,
and the man that sings out "two beer" 30
unsteady is getting out of practice.
In answer 10 question about the sale this
morning Bessehl's barkeeper said that thev
were very heavy.
"How does beer CO."
"Very slow. Folks aeem to be afraid of
IT,"
"What drinks are in briskest demand" .
'Soda water, lemonade and that kind of
things. Straight wLis key is ''gettiDg TIE
shake to considerable extent. Everyh "
is very thirsty though, and we have q! W.

"guvnors" and colonels and msjo-- all i'm

pulled on the straight staff. "Yet great
many people dri k straight whkky here"
he said. 1T makes them perspire freely
and they think that is q good sign. / don't
take anything myself, but if l did l think
l would let bug juice alone this
weather. No, we don't do SO much 10
iced drinks and Lemonade though
they are looming up som"
AT the saloons around M rket, Locust and
o i've streets bu,termilk is coming into gen
eral favor, and no bar is complete without
three gallon milk Can in the rear. The drink
is tart and pslatsble, aud the ssloonists report
that during the hot spell IL 10 running beer
out Of the market
At Faults and other places the trade in
beer 10 not ss heavy Ms would be expected,
aud the general expression is that II is too
heating for use at present A prominent
brewer said this morning that this IL not ''beer
weather"
1--WE like It hot' be said, "but not too
d-n hot. A fall of s or 10 degrees in the
would be lots of money IN our
pockets. There 10 less lager consumed in
s.. Louis this week than in any since summer
set IN, and the longer the hot weather lasts
tbe lighter is the consumption"
MIXED and iced drinks Of all kinds are oil
The rsge, and lime punches and cobblers Of
Ill sors are rushed for with svidity. The
.ods fountains are resping hsrvesu and the
Town town drug stores report the sale ss
unprecedented.
The fountain soda enables man 10 drink
almost anything be like, and "sods with q
tick IN il" IL being punished fesrfully. The
'treet vendors Of lemonade sre also growing
