A NIP AND A BITE.

Scientific Drinkors Always Take the LATTER
with the Former.
There are very few men who really know
how to drink. There are plenty who swal-
low an immense amount of liquor, but the
number who understand how to consume
the maximum Of alcohol with the minimum
of intoxication is small indeed. A barkeeper
can soon toll whether customer
has or has not properly cultivated
his talent for liquor. A scientific
drinker never imbibes without taking some
thing to eat Immediately afterward. 1t
may be nothing but half cracker. but cne
who understands his business il munching
ali day long. A man who eats after drink
ing can stand FULLY 30 per sent more aldo
hoI than one who does not. The food
strengthens the stomach and prevents
the too rapid volatilization of tho
alcohol. Then beer may be capped with
whisky, but tho reverse process must
never bo attempted. A sip OF water should
be taken before each drink to clear the
throat and put the palate in condition to
oppreciate the full flavor of the liquor A
little water may be put in whisky or bran
dy. but extensive dilution almost doubles
the potency Of the fluid. Tho secret OF the
manner in which some men cnn drink all
day without showing any i'll effects is to he
found in their attention to these rules.-ot.

Steep Prices Paid by Army and Navy Om-
GERS for Uniforms.
Few persons, when they see an army or
navy officer in full uniform, have any idea
of what those uniforms cost, writes Wash
ington correspondent of the Pittsbure Com
mercial. prominent tailor here, who
makes speciality of such uniforms, the
other day gave the price of each garment:
S15, the swordknot $3.50. and the
epaulets $85. Probably you are
surprised at the cost of the
epaulets. Everyone is. But look at
them. They are of solid Rold-that is these
gold, and tho frame is made of gold alloy.
You can buy spaulets up to $500 pair.
They all come from London, where ono
man, Starkey. spent 81 100000 in building
the plant for making this gold wire. Tho
late Admiral Porter spent $3.50 for his
epaulets, and then didn't think the them tipe Inc
inventory, the social full dress coat is $54,
the trousers $25, ana tho waistcoat 50.
The undress coat is $50. the trou-
20, 8 SIG, and the waistooat SO, or $s4 for
the suit, and, as you want two suits, that
the blouse, SIS for the trousers ana 50 for
the waistooat, or 500 in all. Two suits will
be $l2O. Three white suits of duck at $40
are S12O. The overooat is $50. Your black
evening dress suit is $75. Your two cut
away suits $10o. Your Prince Albert ,$e5.
Your cap is $3.50 and your gray helmet
$3.50. If my figures are right. the total is

as sometimes get. Last week an officer
spent $1,000 in uniforms alone. A few
