tinctly traits which are certain to excite q

most human degree of intelligence in ac
curately adjusting his actions to the cir

begins by turning his head, which is I'M

koumiss has become a very common ar
tlcle of diet with dyspeptics, and it may be
| made at home at a cost Of about - cents
per quart. The following directions are
given for its manufacture: Fill 4 quart
| champagne bottle up to the neck with pure
milk; add. two tablespoonfuls of white
| sugar, after dissolving the same in a little
water over a hot fire add also a quarter OF
a two-cent cake of compressed yeast. Then
tie the cork on the bottle securely, and
| shake the mixture well; place in room
of the temperature of 80 TO % degrees
Fahrenheit for six hours, and finally in
| the ice-box over night. Drink in such
quantities as the stomach may require. 1t
| will be well to observe several important
lnjunctions in preparing the koumiss, and
they are: To be sure that the milk is pure
that the bottle is sound that the yeast is
fresh; to open the mixture in the morning
| with great care, on account of its efer-
| vescent properties not to drink it at all il
| there is any curdle or thickening part re-
sembling cheese, as this indicates that the
fermentation has been prolonged beyond
the proper time. Make it as you need tc
| use it. The virtue of koumiss is that il
| refreshes and stimulates, with no after ac-
ton from its effects. 1t is often almost i'm
possible to obtain good fresh kounliss, es-
pecially away from large towns. The
above makes it possible for any physician
to prescribe it.-[ Chicago Review.
