ARTISTRY OF MIXED DRINKS
A Retired Nasty Diseourses Learn
edly on the Composition OF
.# Throat TicklerS.

Most every man who has been
married long enough to enjoy the de-
lights of housekeeping or one who
has been proprietor of a bachelor
apartment has some sort Of fancy that
he excels in particular line OF cook
ing, and there are men who have the
idea that they know better how to
mix drinks than those employed be-
hind bars" remarked Fred Coyne OF
Chicago, who used to be postmaster
of that city. ,
Mr.. Coyne's remark was occasioned
by overhearing a dapper young man
who had stepped lightly up to coun-
ter and directed the man behind 1t
how to mix a cocktail. This young
man in imperious tone had remarked
to his companions that no bartender
ever knew how properly to mix a
cocktail, and that such drink ought
never to b estirred, but shaken.
There's all the difference in the world,
he explained knowingly.
Now, I think l know how to make
a welsh rarebit about as we'll as any
body" said Mr.. Coyne, land when it
comes to making salads l am right
there. By the way, there's a popular
idea that welsh rabbit is not correct,
but that it ought to be 'rarebit.' Welsh
rabbit is a genuine slang term, de-
scribing in humorous way the spe.
cial dish it is, just as Irish apricots'
or Norfolk plums' are used as con-
vertible names for potatoes.
my friend, here" continued Mr..
Coyne, turning to a newspaper writer,
thinks he knows how to make coffee
par excellence. Maybe so. But ! can
make the best mixed drink any south
erner or northerner ever let trickle
down his throat Maude Lillian Berri
called It an S. S. or in full, 'Sulu
sour If we had put an 0 in II, it
would certainly have described it bet
ter. Here it Is:
"It's 4 mixture Of an old-fashioned
toddy, whisky sour and mint julep,
but you have to know how to make
it. Never mix a drink with sugar until
you have thoroughly dissolved the
sugar in water first. Well, you melt
your sugar in a toddy glass; then
squeeze a quarter OF lemon into the
sugared water. Add whisky OF what
ever kind you like--not Scotch, Of
course--and then press the rind Of
the lemon against the glass SO as to
get the oil. Last take sprig Of mint,
press it, like the lemon, against the
glass, and afterward stir the whole
concoction. There you have S. S., or
an S. o. S., if you please. Try it,

CURRANS FAMOUS PHRASE
Eternal Vigilance the Price Of Lib
erty" Framed by Irish Orator
in Dublin,

Eternal vigilance is the price o.
liberty" The foregoing words have
been adapted by custom from a sen
tence in what is said to be the frs
reported speech that the noted Irish
patriot, jurist and orator, John Phil
pot Curran, ever made out OF Parlia
ment, it being made in Dublin or
July 10, 1890. r-r
The occasion was a contest for thu
mayoralty Of Dublin, The city gov
eminent was then comprised of ar
upper branch or chamber that con
sisted OF the lord mayor and the alder
men, and a lower chamber that wa:
composed OF the sheriffs and the com
mon councilmen. These two branche:
or chambers were vested with the au
thority of choosing the mayor. Each
chamber, however, voted separately
and the form of the procedure re-
quired that the name of the candidate
should first come from the aldermen
The aldermen at that time wert
loyalists to the extent that they per
sisted in sending some obnoxious can
didate to the councilmen. As fast a.
the names of these unpopular would
be magistrates Of Dublin were re-
ported to the councilmen they were
rejected. Finally one of these alder,
manic candidates, the man who lee
the list of the rejected, Alderman
James, claimed the election on the
ground that the council had assigned
no cause for Withholding its support
Of his candidacy. The council mean
while had elected a candidate Of 1t.
own, Alderman Howison, and the two
candidates then applied to the courts
for a decision.
Curran appeared for Howison. Thu
court decided in favor of the conten'
ton of James, the aldermanic candi.
date. But the latter refused to avail
himself of the benefit of the decision
and resigned the office. The aldermen
thereupon sent down the name of Al
derman Howison, and he was chosen
In concurrence. - =. -
Curran's argument, made July 10
1890, was long as well as able, and the
phrase quoted above is found In the
following paragraph, near the begin
ming: - :,
ut Is the common fate, of the indo'
lent to see their rights become a prey
to the active. The conditions upon

consequence of his crime and the

AN ARMY OF 100000 MEN
Some Facts and Figures Which Give
an Idea Of What 1t Would
\ Mean.

4 We read easily Of 100000 armed
(men and speak glibly enough of them.
That such a number may take part
in some battle overseas excites little
wonderment or comment on our part.
Such numbers we regard as neces-
sary part OF the great war.
Now, what do 100000 men really
mean? Can they be visualizedi What
do they cost as soldiers? What would
they betoken if made up into one vast
army? Can we picture them to our
selves as one agglomeration OF HUI
mans, all moving for war and equip
aAtr to give battle7
F4Yes, indeed The field service reg
ulations Of the United States army
furnish us with all the tables and
data to make our computations.
t What extent of ground, then, would
such an army cover? Just 1850 miles
This is $50 miles, roughly, greater
than the distance from New York to
Chicago. Marching by tours, in a
column of squads-the regular mill
b tary alignment---this vast army, with
horses and mules, cannon and escort
Wagons, pontoons, reel carts and hos
pital trains would stretch fully a
third of the way across the United
6tatesl ..
" If they kept passing day and night,
marching all twenty-four hours, they
would take seventeen and half days
to pass any one point. The regular
military march is fifteen miles day
for seasoned troops. 1t would take
this army of 100000 just seventy
days TO deploy--that is, to maneuver
into line, or for the rear troops to
reach the front. ....
They would require, BY army tables,
5ll 500 animals, and 6l.380 vehicles,
including guns. If they made one
great camp it would cover 23,947
heres, or thirty-eight square miles
Utmost twice the available acreage of
Manhattan Island.
We read Of 500 and 700-mile fronts
n Earope and they mean little to us.
Ne can roughly imagine how many
men are holding these gigantic lines
of battle when we realize that our
100000 men, disposed according to
correct strategy, would be able to
! fold front Of only lis miles. This
Is little less than the length of Long

CITY AND COUNTRY PEOPLE
Points of Difference Indicated, Ana
lyzed and Their Significance
Outlined.

We city people are sophisticated
lot. That is how we differ from coun-
try people. Nothing ever surprises
US. Nothing shocks US. From our
babyhoods we have been accustomed
to the sight of things happening. We
live within the circus ring OF great
events. The consequence is that we
are wiser and better than any kind OF
people that ever lived. We have dis
covered the secret Of efficient living.
1t consists OF moving around very
rapidly during our working hours in
order to earn money and then moving
around very rapidly during loafing
hours in order to spend it.
We have seen and experienced 90
much that to the country visitor we
must seem callous. We do not stand
around and stare at things, as country
people would, except when there is a
dog fight, or an automobile breaks
down, or there is fire alarm, or pc.
liceman has an argument witt a taxi
driver, or a pacifist with a militarist,
or when a political candidate or a
brand of soap advertises by means OF
band on a dray, or when man
walks down the street with old-tash-
Toned whiskers, or pink trousers, or
without any hat on, or when a founda-
ton for building is being excavated,
or piles driven, or a street relaid, or at
any time when we may behold the re-
r1larkable spectacle of hard work OF
anv kind being carried on in public, or
when somebody else stops and stares
at something and we aren't quite sure
what it is, but are certain that we
ought not to take the risk of miss
ing it.
But country people--they are al
WAYS staring at things. This may be
the result Of their limited spheres OF
life. All they ever see is things grow
Ing, which is a much less spectacular
process than things happening. Their
work is narrow, being nothing more
than producing food, and requiring no
great capacity beyond a knowledge: OF
chemistry, physiology, animal psyche
loqy. meteorology, banking and mar
ketina, and familiarity with scanty
dozen or two of skilled trades. Coun-
try people are nearer nature-nearer
God. some have said--but is not the
whole progress of civilization away
from naturel Here in the city we
can shut out the sight of everything
that has not been made by man, 50
that we are not SO often reminded
that there are powers and forces in
the universe greater than ourselves.
So we walk, quite complacently, with
a fIower-stand rosebud in our button
holes, the brief gangplank between
birth and death--San Francisco
