ROYAL COCKTAILS.

I Nobody credits the Englishman,
not even the Englishman himself,
with being anything like an adept
in the art of linking drinks" and
there are few so-called American
bars in London where an American
will risk asking for a second cock
tail. London hostesses, however,
have perfect craze for inventing
new Soups" for hot weather drink
ing. But those who know say that
the best of all is dispensed at Marl-
borough house and is the sole inven-
ton of Queen Alexandra.
1t is a delicious concoction made
Of the juice of crushed peaches and
oranges used in equal parts; a few
slices of cucumber are added, sugar
to the taste, and a faint suspicion
of ginger. The mixture is mellowed,
with marachino before being placed
on ice.
King Edward once devised a new
"cup," but he never parted with the
secret, while King Alphonso has a
celebrated connection, 'the nom
pareil," to which his visitors are
very partial. Connoisseurs aver,
however, that no kind of '9brew'
comes up to that of Queen Alexan-
dra, which they have decided to call
"The Elixir of Life"

FIRST AERIAL COACH.

The first aerial coach has been
tried and found successful in
Etampes, France. 1t is an ordinary
aeroplane, to which a limousine
body, capable of holding four pas
Fengers comfortably, has been fitted.
The aerial coach made a flight of
about an hour across country, but it
carried no passengers. The place of
passengers was taken by four bags
of sand, weighing in all about forty
stones, supposed to be the average
weight of four tourists. The aerial
coach leaves nothing to be. desired as
to the comfort of future travellers,
who will have a vast view Of the
country over which they travel, and
will scarcely feel the motion; but
the only DRAWBACK as yet is the safe
ty of the machine. Until some i'm
proved safety device has been found
tourists will prefer a motor car or
a railway carriage.-WashingtoD

LOCKED THE PLAYWRIGHT IN
Strategy Used by Theatrical Producers
to obtain Finished Manuscript
on Time.

The stories told of George NJ. Co
hams habit of eleventh-hour play
writing recall a~similar instance in
the case of the illustrious Sheridan.
Just two days before "The Critic"
was to open, the last act was still
unwritten. Ford & Linley, the pro-
prietors of the theater, were natural
ly much worried and determined
upon desperate measures. Linley in
vited Sheridan to dinner, and after
ward prevailed upon him to 90 to
the theater. There Mr.. King, the
stage manager, asked the playwright
to step into the greenroom for a
moment-"to meet some neglected
friends" Sheridan complied, and
found awaiting him a chair and a
table upon which were ink and pa
per, along with a bottle of wine and
a plate of sandwiches. The instant
Sheridan entered, King stepped out,
locked the door behind him, and,
deaf to the prisoners cutlery, march
ed away.
Next morning the conspirators
unlocked the door and found a very
weary playwright-and the much
needed last act of "The Critic"
