Mrs. Fremont, in her sketch of the life
of her father-Senator Benton-tells the
following of the French bishop at st.
Louis at the time of the purchase Of
Louisiana. 1t was a point of honor
among the older French not to learn
English; but the bishop needed to ac-
quire fluent English for all uses, and for
use from the pulpit especially. To force
himself into familiar practice, the bishop
secluded himself for awhile with the
family of an American farmer, where
he would rear no French. Soon he had
gained enough to n sermon in
English. Senator Benton was present,
and his feelings can be imagined when
the polished, refined bishop said; MY

How to Judge canned Goods.

HOW 10 SuO8e NS0ueU UOOO0s
From Casselrs Family Magazine
A hint now about timed goods, meat espe-
cially. Note, when about to purchase, the con-
dition Of the tin; If bulged outwards, don't have
Il. euen asa GIFT! We will explain the process Of
canning, to give weight to our warning.
The meat is packed in tins while raw, then
sealed, and cooked in an outer vessel of boiling
water, with sometimes the addition of a chemi-
cal to raise the temperature. When cooked,
the can is pierced, and, as soon as the air and
steam have been expelled. it is soldered. Ex-
perts know when it is ready for soldering; a
moment too soon, and the mischief is done,
meat will not be good. On the contrary, If the
tin has sunk, 1t is an infaible sign OF goodness;
1t proves vacuum, which Is natural as the
meat shrinks when no air is left in the tin.
Some may say, what matter II air be left In
the tin? Simply this: nitrogen, an element of
air, imparts to bodies with which it comes in
contact q tendency to change and decay.
Often, on opening q tin Of preserved goods,
people are heard to say 1.-THE air is escaping"
instead OF which. the slight kissing sound is the
result of the air rushing in, another prCot that
there was q vacuum. Well, we 60 SO far as to
say that, assuming the outward sign of good
ness above referred to; a label bearing the name
able vendor of the article, whether meat, fish,
milk, soup or vegetable, the chances are q
million to one against any being injured, much
less poisoned, by timed goods.
Another caution, though: always look out for
any little globules of solder that sometimes
find their way inside the tin; and take care, es-
pecially in the case of salmon and lobster, to
empty the contents, as soon as opened, into an
earthenware vessel. This Is necessary for every
thing except milk.

HOW IT CAN BE MADE FOR FAMILY USE.
From the Brooklyn Eagle
'koumiss is fast becoming the popular drink
with Brook mites VINO have large families of
children said a local druggist recently to an
Edgtc reporter, "koumiss is made of cows milk
with the addition OF little sugar. It is highly
essential that the milk should be fresh and pure
1t Is said that koumiss is u great cure for
dyspepsia Certainly it gives relief in that
most painful disease Within a wear a number
OF Companies nave been formed In Brooklyn for
the sale OF The beverage. An excellent formula
for the preparation OF koumiss was furnished
some years ago. Here il is:
'FiN quart champagne bottle up to the
neck with pure milk; add two TABLESPOONS of
white sugar after dissoiving the same in a little
water over hot fire, ada also u quarter OF a
two cent cake of impressed yeast Then tie
the cork on tie bottle securely and shake the
mixture well; place in a room OF the tempera-
ture of 5O To 30 degrees Fahrenheit for d hours
aud finally in the IceboX over night, Drink In
such quantities Us the stomach will REQUIRE. 1t
may be well to observe several important in
functions in preparing koumiss and they are:
First, 10 be sure that the milk Is pure; second
that the bottle is sound; third that the Yeast is
fresh; fourth, to open the mixture in the morn
ing with great OH account of its feryescent
properties; nth, to drink il ALI II there is
any curdie or thickenec part resembling cheese,
as THIS indicates that the fermentation has been
prolonged beyond the proper time
'Trhe above formula, think is the best for
preparing koumlss. Dyspepttcs ind much re-
lief in its sell almost as much on draught
as SODA water; II prepared in u certain way
kounlisS Will keep for a long time. 1t has u
delicious taste, and is, think, the best OF all
the summer beverages"
From what is the word koumiss derived??
Inc word and The drink originated in Asia,
and is largely in use by the tribes OF that coun.
