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. Look first for
the class name; for instance, if you want a brandy or
whisky cocktail look under cocktails in C. IJnder the
head of champagne you will find champagne flip, also
how to"frappe"and how to serve champagne. Where
