A New Drink
The Ethiopian vogue has renamed a popular drink in the cafes of Paris. This is coffee, the taste of which is enlivened by rum. Hitherto it has been called Black Petrol, but now you ask for a Negus! The old English Negus had nothing to do with the King of Kings; it was made of sherry, hot water, sugar and spices and was called after Colonel Francis Negus, of the Suffolk Begiment, who sent it around his mess tables.
