4 wholesome bill Of Fare for
Young Ladies'.

Young ltauleS.
The Vassar Female College at Pough-
keepsie, New York, has gained consider.
able reputation throughout the country
for the peculiar style Of mental and ply.
steal training in vogue there. The Young
ladies are educated more after the heroic
style there than at most female insIitu'
tions. They are said to be an unusually
vigorous collection Of young misses, and
It Is claimed that party of them visiting
West Point lately did moi scare worth a
cent when surrounded by the cadets on
charge, This sturdy and heroic element
in their characters may be owing to the
diet on which they are fed, The ques.
ton was once asked, "Upon what meat
doth this our Cesar feed that he is
grown 80 great?' And so We may
ask, upon what meat do these
Vassar girls feed that they have
become so famous? The recent com.
mencement exercises at the College
gave the newspaper reporters an oppor.

manner in which the subsistence depart

II he correctly reports the answers Of that
iunctionary to his questions, it would
seem that the dietetic philosophers have
no disciples at PoughkCOpsie, The 43O
ladies Of the College take their meals at
one time in the same dining room, Thirty
minutes are allowed for breakfast, forty
FIVE for dinner, and thirty minutes for
tea. Three or four courses OF the best
food arc generally served for dinner. The
milk and vegetables arc all the products
Of the College farm, milk being used very
freely for drinking morning and night,
and used also in large quantities in cook
ing and in bread. Three hundred and fifty
quarts Of the lacteal fluid are consumed
every day. One hundred pounds Of fresh
butter are sent in from the farm every
morninu with occasional consignments OF
iee cream Al breakfast 100 pounds Of
beefstouk arc eaten, and $50 pounds Of
roast beef or mutton at dinner. When
poultry is served Chicken or turkey
three hundred and eighty pounds are re-
onirod. The daily consumption of bread
