How AMERICAN CHILDREN ARE FED

Democrat states that while visiting a school
in Montreal. he asked the teacher if there
were any American children there She said
there were, and she could tell them by their
pale faces. bright eyes. -and merry ousness.
They learned quicker, but lost so many days
during the term from sickness, that they did
not so fast as those who were ahic to be pres
ent constantly. lie also took occasion to ex-
anime their luncheon baskets, and found the
American fare to be piece of mince pie, the
same OF pound cake, two dsughnuts. pickle.
and cold sausage; while the English Irish
and Scotch children had either two days old
bread and meat, bread and butter, or bread
and apple. with nothing more.
