111 the leai-ned and the artistic professions, in the industries, trades, and crafts, we encounter aformidable array of technical terms and mysterous phrases, which are tedious jargon to the uninitiated; but the saloon business is perhaps less burdened with unintelligible expressions than any other vocation. There are, how ever, a few words and phrases that are not generally understood. These are explained as they occur in the subject-matter, with the exception of the "jigger,^' which we now define. It is a little measure used in preparing mixed drinks. It is made of metal plated with silver, shaped like a sherry-glass and holds an ounce and a half. It is much handier than the wine glass for constant use, and is in no danger of breakage. Our Key to Contents affords an easy method of getting at any recipe you may desire.
