SUMMER DRINKS.
A Few Connections Which Have Proven
FaVOriteS.
LIMEADE, LEMONADE AND OTHERS
That Cool the Heated MOrtal-Beer Still
Popular,
AND FEW CHANGES IN STYLES.

Wheeling people, whose most reckless
dissipation is drinking a glass ofplain soda
water in drug store on real hot after
noon, don't know very much about the
number and variety of the connections that
ingenious citizens have devised for the
purpose of taking the cobwebs out of the
a,Ophagi of weary, perspiring mOrtals,
when the mercury is soaring somewhere
considerably higher than fourth place, and
eggs are scorched before they are laid. The
bsrkeeper in any liquid refectOry making
the slightest pretensions to completeness,
can mix something less than four thous-
ana seductive, cooling liquids, the
composition of which sre a profound
secret 20 those who drink them, and the
boy who tends the soda fOunt which
squiltsth empty airn knows of more
drinks than cider and lemonade, but it is
dOu5tfal if any one man knows of more
than half the not weather beverages that
different Wheeling dealers advertise. There
are gceat Dany new ones every year.
The styles in dr;sks change as they do in
hats and dresses, and many new ones come
in every year. They aren't 80 much diff
fsrent from the old ones SO usual thing,
but new ingredient or two are added 70
an old mixture, and, with new name
and very likely another nickel on the
price, it goes out as new and popular
drink. Mrs. Harrison is enthusiastic ger
it."
The styles this year IRE not materially
different from those Of last season. Beer
Will remain as popular ss ever, but will
not be cut lower than last year, although
some dealers sell larger glasses for five
cents. Flps, julips, cob6lers, pu1caes,
cocktails, eggnoQs and q thousand other
peculiar compounds are at the 6uger ends
