KOnMISS

The following information from the
Scientific American, in regard to beyer-
age which is daily becoming more popu-
lar and which has been administered
With satisfactory results to the Presi-
dent during his illness, will be of in
terest to our readers:
The Tartars and some other equestrian
tribes, from time immemorial il is said,
have practiced the art of brewing sort
of beer from mares milk; and in later
times they have learned how to distlll
this beer and procure from it a very
potent brandy. KoumisS is the native
name of the mares milk beer, and rack
or racky of the koumiss brandy. Take
any quantity of mares milk, dilute IL
with u sixth of water, pour it into q
wooden vessel, and add as q ferment
about one-eighth Of very sour milk, or
better, of old koumiss; cover the vessel
with thick cloth and keep II at mod
crate temperature. After standing twen-
ty-four hours, thick coagulum rises to
the top, which must be well mixed in
by beating and churning. After repos-
ing for another day, Il Is again stirred
in this state it forms the new koGmIss,
which has an agreeable sweetish aces
cent taste. KOumiss keeps we'll, and,
like other beers and wines with proper
care, improves with age in taste and
becomes more alcoholic. II is to be
| understood that mares milk Is the
basis OF the genuine koumiss, and no
doubt genuine koumiss has taste and
odor peculiar TO and characteristic of
mares milk. But as to chemical cOnsti.
tuition, there Is very little difference be-
| tween mares milk and that of other large
mammals, and any kind of milk will
produce koumiss closely resembling the
| genuine; perhaps cows milk will pro
genuine. The Tartars use mares milk
because of the abundance of horses In
comparison with other milk giving ami
| mails. Horses and Tartars have been
constant companions for ages, and thus
it has come about that Tartars became
experts in the difficult art of milking
mares and then invented koumiss. The
ancient Scotch made fermented drink
out of milk, but not mares milk to which
II is proper to allude here. The basis o.
the Scotch drink was whey, which wa!
prepared by keeping it buried in the
ground undisturbed for at least a year.
The New York Mail has the following
TO say regarding this food: .fF-s q.
at is generally believed that koumis
can be made of mares milk only. Blu
we are assured that the koumiss prepares
by the following recipe is equal in al
respects to the best imported: Into on,
quart Of new milk put one gill of fresl
buttermilk and three or four Jumps o
white sugar. Mix we'll aud see that tn
sugar dissolves. Put in warm place
stand ten hours, when IL will be thick
/ n "a =.
il becomes smooth and uniform in cor
sistency Bottle and keep in warn
place "a hours; IL may take SO in winter
The bottles must be tightly corked an
the corks tied down. Shake we'll fly
minutes before opening"

fany further argument were needed
to prove the unhealthfulness OF Wash
ington as an abidipg-place it could be
found in the figures showing the mortal
ity for the month of July. The total
number of deaths in the District of Col.
umbia was 4Sl, or at the rate of S2.07 in
1000 for a year. In July, 1880, there
were Sal deaths. 1t is significant, there.

is so per cent over last year. The re
cords show that the death rates per 200
by classes of diseases were as follows:
Infectious, 1247 constitutional. "a. u 10
cal, S.54; developmental, S.1S; and by
