Gin and Tansy.

Use whiskey glass. This is an old-fasliioncd but excellent tonic, and is prepared by steeping a bunch of tansy in a bottle of Idolland gin, which extracts the essence. In serving, you simply set the glass, with a lump of ice dropped into it, before the customer, allow ing him to help himself from the bottle containing the preparation.

Hot Spiced Rum.

Use hot-zvater glass.

Two lumps loaf sugar. One-half teaspoonful mixed allspice. One wine-glass Jamaica rum. \ Fill glass with hot water, mi.x well; grate nut- ineg on top and serve. Butter may be added.

Hot Rum.

Use medium bar glass, hot. One or two lumps loaf sugar, dissolved in a little hot water. One wine-glass Jamaica rum. One piece sweet butter as large as half a chest nut. Dissolve the sugar in a little boiling water, add the rum and butter, fill the glass two-thirds full of boiling water, stir, grate a little nutmeg on top and

serve.
