THE PERENNIAL JULEP.
The mint julep is very popular, and
with its dwarf brother, the mint smash,
claims enough attention at every
stimulant dispensary to intersperse the
pyramids of upturned glasses with
bowls of the dark green weed. High
balls of rye or Scotch whisky are more
popular than usual, for the long, cool
drink, with plenty of ice and not too
much liquor in it, grows in popularity
every year, though the brandy and soda
of the Anglo-Indian is not one-hun-
dredth as popular in washington as it
is in English novels.
OF really new drinks there are many
this year, and some OF them seem to
promise we'll. War drinks are, of
course, to the fore. They are not de-
signed to cool off anybody, but from
their ingredients they are certainly
calculated to make man forget the
heat and every other old thing. Take
the Dewey cocktail, for instance. 1t is
made of two-thirds Scotch whisky, one
third brandy, a dash of orange bitters,
a little syrup, and half a pony of
Benedictine One of these, if you have
been told it's name in advance, will
make you think Dewey is the greatest
American that ever lived. A second
will give you an idea that you are just
little bit better American than the
rest of the crowd Three will make
you believe that if Dewey is not the
next President foul wrong will be
done, and if you can imagine to think
after any more Dewey cocktails your
cerebration is likely to take the form
Of spirited assaults upon persons in
the ne,ghborhood under the impression
that they are opposed to Dewey's can
didacy, while your locomotion is more
than likely to take the direction Of the
nearest police station.
MATANZAS MULE.
Some New York bartender invented
a drink the other day and called it
Matanzas Mule. The recipe is sup
pressed for the sake of the public
peace. Like it's namesake it is cover
ed so much more than it appeared to
do that the man who swallowed the
Gemoniac aggregation of riot found
that he had swallowed the equivalent
Of a blockhouse, three or foar shore
batteries, and half a regiment OF Span
ish red pepper. That bartender lost
his job on the same day his employer
lost all his glassware, through the I'M
Spanish aim of several gentlemen who
innocently ordered Matanzas mules.
There is a bartender in New York
who is known personally by thousands
of people, who are not acquainted with
his name. His patrons have called him
William" for years, and when he
opened a place Of his own, William"
was the only name over the door. VIII
liam is in inveterate concOctOr of new
drinks, and his latest enemy of heat
ard care is known as fiGbsOn cannon
ball. 1t is really gin-fizz with few
extra trimmings, but William mixes it
up in a shaker made like a cannon,
sQueezes the lemon with an instrument
shat looks like a ramrod, does a mill
tary song and dance while the opera
ton is going on, and winds up the war
drama by dashing the contents OF the
cannon mixer into a tall glass at the
same time banging his foot down with
a crash that sounds like the guns or
Moro hurting steel at the Merrlmac
and her crew. and instantly attracts the
attention of all the drinkers OF peace
drinks in the barrOom, who thus learn
the name of the latest addition to the
history, of the war, and likely become
patrons for the HCbsOn cannon Dali.
MURMUR OF THE SHELLS.
,,, .-a -, +broo d,i7l-c mazda
this summer that are really aliurlng.
One is a Lailah Coollah, which is
nothing but a long Apollinaris, lemon
AIDE with a jigger of whisky tioatnlg
on the top. It's popularity consists IN
the floating whisky. When You drink
it you get the whisky first as a sum-
ulant, ard the long, cold lemonade
follows as a welcome refresher to the
heated interior. A Murmur OF the
Shells is another that sounds well.
The Juice of lime squeezed into a
long glass, mixed with little sugar
and dissolved in just enough mineral
water to mix the three. Then two
thirds of the remaining space is filled
with Rhine wine, one-third with sher-
ry and a dash of brandy to top off
with Filled with ice this ought to
satisfy every yearning in the evening
of hot day, though it was originally
invented as a drink for the early
morning by a man who claims that
it is the only thing to drink before
breakfast in the summer time.
The man who invented the Murmur
of the Shells also devised a Tongue
which he says is designed for use
when a little mild hilarity is needed.
Il is one third Of brandy port wine and
sherry, poured On a fresh egg mixed
with sugar. He says fill the glass
with shaved ice and pour in milk until
it is full and suggests that this drink
