Drinking Milk.

Few people know there is il good and
Il bad way of drinking milk The bad
way is that which they generally follow,
viz: To swallow large quantity at
once. When milk goes into the stom-
ach it is instantly curdled, aud if it is
curdled into one big mass the juices OF
the stomach can work on ouIy the out
side of it. This is the reason that many
people who like milk, and to whom it
should be of the utmost benefit, cannot
drink it. They say it gives them indi-
gestlOn, and they are right. Let them
give it another chauce. But this time
they must sip it slowly, not taking
more than teaspoonful at one sip, aud
taking at least four minutes to finish
the glassful. Each little sip thus be-
comes curdled up by itself when passed
into the stomach, and the digestive Jul
ces percolatc freely around it and it
speedily becomes assimiIated One Of
the best restoratives known after great
or excessive fatigue, and one infinitely
preferable to any form of alcohol, is Il
glass Of hot milk. The heat seems to
tighten it and to deprive it of mncl, OF
the sweetness which is 81 cloying to
some tastcs,-Saturday Evening Post
