SOOTHING GOTHAM'S THIRST
Trio of .mt Cnncnctlnnn Snlil to
Itcncli the Spot In n
Hnrry.
That trilogy of new drltjl.p, tho Infurla
tor. the etlngor and their bland antidote
the queller. has pome as n, bonison to
thdse who arc a thirst In New York.
The Infurlator Is all the rage. It sets
the appetite on a rampage, lashes hunger
to become as a. ravening lion and In
spires the moderns to vie In nrowpss with
valiant trenchermen of old.
A good drink of brandy, a tlnsh of ab
sinthe, shake well with Ice, drain off and
serve as a cocktail. One will be enough
for most men. After that bring on
planked steak, heaping plates of potatoes,
loaves of bread and any such unconsid
ered trifles, and leave the Infuriated to
wreak his will. The dinner proceeds and
"there Is need" as the coffeo arrives and the
cigars nro In transit for a soothing
cordial.
Then take the stinger, which Is com
posed of whlto creme do mcnthe. with a
good dash of brandy, shaken together
with Ice and drained off. Or It may bo
served In the usual frappe form. Hero
Is something soothing and n' the same
time not devoid of tang. It makees vis
Ions to soothe the senses and warms the
cockles of tho heart.
It may bo that In time the need of
stiong drink seems to be no more Indi
cated. One may awake In tho gray dawn
wishing that he had never heard of these
American drinks with such dynamic
names. Ho may not exactly know his
own name or care whether or not he
has one. Ills shoes have not. been prop
erly tied, tho newspaper that comes with
the morning coffee has letters blurred
and tangled.
"I am nervous," one may say to Bar
dotph, who seems afar off In vague vista
of glasses and purple and green bottles
and pink armadlltoes and red anacondas.
"Let me mako you a queller," says ths
barkeeper, all attention and sympathy.
Aromatic spirits of ammonia, strange
pinkish decoctions, a 1.ibIi of bitters, or
anything, In fact, which the man of
bottles may have In his medicine chest,
all shaken up with Ice, and served cool
as a breath from mountain caves In
which tho snow still remains In the heat
of summer, and the queller has stilled
the riot of nerves and performed the last
function In making man forget the fierce
potations of the night before In the dawn
of the day after. New York Herald.

The federal government, through Ha
executive and legislative branches, la1
now encased la many Inqulrlei In tho
interest of the publto welfare. Some of
theae Inquiries are being made under
authority of congressional enactment,
-while other are Intended to furnUh ma
terial that -will enable congress to legis
late on particular subjects having to do
with improving the condition of the peo
ple. It la difficult to estimate the exact
number of investigations under the gov
ernment auspices now In progress, aa
there are several Instances where doxens
of lines of Inquiry have been undertaken
by a single bureau of a government de
portment. One bureau of the Depart-'
xnent of Agriculture has under Investi
gation no less than fifteen major sub
jects, ail Intended for the betterment of
producers and consumers of agricultural
products. They have many ramifications
that increase the total number greatly.
The Investigation and administration
work: In the Interest of the public wel

thority of law or with a view of the
enactment of law are:
Investigation by the Interstate Com-

philanthropic persons a large fund to be
used in the establishment of homes
wherein white slave victims can be
maintained until they are regarded as
capable of going out into the world and
leading moral lives.
Investigation by the new Federal bureau

slightest velnlng or trace ot unu ;ual
dunsity. ull work upon them will be
wasted. Cure must also be taken that
the dinks shall be perfectly annealed
The test in this relation is made oy

disk ot the proper curve, revolving In a

has been attained and the glass r.a
gained, approximately, the required
curve's. The last grinding of all Is the
most Important and, of course, calls for
tho greatest care and skill. The selec
tion ot the emery plays a very Important
role In all stages of grinding, since sin
