Koumiss. Boiides being a delicious

invaluable for use in sickness. Invalids
who could retain nothingelco liavo lived
upon it for weeks, and its nourishing
propertiiw make it desirable for any one
who from losf of appetite cannot tako a
Miflicinnt quantity of food. Tho original
koumiss, kuinys, in tho HussiaiiH call it,
was made by the Cnlmncks, and obtained
by fermenting the whoy of marcs' milk.
To make it tako a quart of milk, ndd two
h aping tublospoonfuls of sugar and one
and a half tnblospoonful'i of yeast. Sot
this mixture in an earthen pan near tho
I'ri until the hubbies rise on top; stir it
down and lottle. filling tho bottles not
quite full , fasten tho corks firmly with
wire or stout string. If wantod to use
within three days keep in a teniiKsrature
of ll.'i degrees ; it is bettor if allowed to
stuiul for a wcok in a temperature of If)
degrees. It niUHt be opened with a spigot
like a champagne tap, as tho contents of

Quinces baked with tho skim on aie

a saucer at each plate. If mashed with

put on a little butter and plenty of

quince loses tho strong taste which is
diciigreeablo to many, and retains a
delicate llavor that is excellent.

OUR LETTER BOX.
Those beautiful cummer days am bo
ginning lo grow perceptibly shorter.
Von will know tliut in tho latter part of
Juno we have tho very longed day, then
each day after that is a few minutes
shorter, so that it takes a month or more
lo really notice the difTcronce. Then at
night-fall as we sit on the door stepbwe
begin to hear tho crickets call, and thote
iusocts that are ceen in nutnmn days.
Autumn is cloce by, with iti busy days
of. canning, drying and preserving of
the abundant fruits for next winter's use
We lmvo to ntKilogizc to ono of our
little friends, for in cleaning the box
whrc wo koep tho Homo Circlo we
found such a nice communication in an
empty envelop that should liavo boon
printed long ago.
Clara had never written before, and as
this was her first letter wo feel all the
more regret at its delay. Clara might
call her club-footed chicken uHyron."
Then (Jlnra helps her mother, borides
haying to walk to school two inilea. We
wunt to bear from Clara again, for she
writes a nice letter.
May coincH again after a long mlonce.
Alav must let us know about the chick
en account she has kept, and wo hope
her next letter will bo a longer ono.
A. J- certainly has our sympathies
on the blacklwrry queation; as for nur
se vcn wo are willing to pay a dollar a
gallon for them after this. Tho hopper
toad would be a wolcoine guost if we
were sure of being able lo keep it nt
home ; the last ono we had rnn away it
certainly would have staid with me if it
could hivo known its own value. We
should bo evr so glad to sec A. J .
Maggie's lettor is too short ; she must
ho a busy littlo girl. That big toad if
tamed and fed will be a sourco of great
amusement just watch and eco how
quickly ho can simp up a fly or a beetle
they livo entirely on insects; they arc
inv.iluablo in a garden where thoro are
grub worms and other pen s.
Julia ought to bo a natur.Uibt she
seems to lovo to watch tho birds. There
is a great deal mote roal plcasuro to be
found in htudying nature than thoro is
in viMtiug or going about among other
people for amusement.

tho most beautiful Hpots in Oregon. Ho

Incour.icc tha Elrd&
War is waged by farmers against all
birds, oxcopt a few popular songsters,
and most hoys aro taught that birds and
birds' nests aro their rightful prey.
Thc.o littlo creatures do some damage it
must bo admitted. Thoy will pick up
seod that has not boon well covered, but
that will teach tho farmer to sow his
seeds more carefully. Thoy will feast
upon tho ripo grain, and sometimes de
stroy moro than thoy eat ; hut tho far
mer seldom considers that ho might not
have any grain to harvest, were it not
for these same feathered intruders. Dur
ing tho time between sowing and har
vesting, birds imiKt livo iqioii something
besides grain, and I fancy that farniets
seldom think that that something is
principally insects, and eggs of insects.
They rear their joting on these, and
ono can hurdly ostiunto tho iinmono
number of insects thus i!otio.cd, Wero
it not fortius Mifeguaid ihat uatuio has
kindly furnished us in the form of tho
fo.ilhuicd race, tho world, mvniding to

Hirds 1'hvo an important, work to do, '
and wo should tud tlum with all tho1
means at our command ; certainly wo
cannot nH'ord to destroy our protcctois.
I'vcry farmer should teach his children

with humane sentiments. Many a fmui
homo knows naught of music but that
which floats on the air from nature's
own ordici-tra, .Let us have all the cwwt
sounds we can, to soften and lighten our
rural toil?. W. I) Hoynton, in American
Agriculturist.
1107 TO BE A TRUE LAD'.
I wbh to speak a few words to the
young ladies of thn Homo Circle about
how to bo a true lady. I feel a groat in
terest in young ladies, but hoiv often do
we see a great many young growing up,
trying to niirko ladies out of themselves
whose acts and behavior aro such that
wo can bettor e.'teem them anything
else than true ladic. What I wieh to
impress ujsm tho minds of thn young
girls is this : In this country every girl
may grow up to Iks a lady if she will tri.
It is not necessary that she become a
great scholar (though wc wish thoy wero
all graduates) in order to bo a lady.
Somo of you girls may be atking your-'elvo-i,
how mu.-t I net to bo a lady?
You must study the nature of propriety
and untelfii-hneF.". You must feel for
those who aro poorer or less wise than
you. You cannot accomplish tho end
with money- it mti'-t be tho effect of
your own actions you truly can buy
many things with money, but money,
fine dresses, fine houses, gay company,
etc., can never make a lady.
Study and act in such a manner that
you can leave a good moral impression
on tho minds of those with whom you
converse. Honor that aged mother, and
do any chores to lighten her burden
Tako no part with scandal-mongers,
never ocn gosuip in a way that your
genuine veracity can be questioned.
Study the elements of a true lady, then
ho a lady.
