pEar1ssNT FACTS ABOUT EATING.

In recent number OF the London Stand
ard under the query, do We eat too
much?" the writer gives many interesting
facts. He says, for instance, that the
amount of nourishment which person
needs greatly depends on his constitution,
state OF health, habits and work. a seden.
tary man requires less than one whose
duties demand the exercise of his muscles,
aud a brain-worker needs more than an
idler. But unquestionably the majority
of US take more than we need. Indeed,
food and work are distributed most une-
qually. The man of leisure is also the
man of means, and accordingly, fares
sumptuously every day while the laborer
tolls for eight hours, and finds it difficult
to get enough to repair the waste of his
tissues. Yet a Chinaman or Bengalee
will toll under tropical sun, and find a
few pice worth of rice or jowrah sufficient
to sustain his strength. A Frenchman will
not eat half what an Englishman engaged
in the same work will demand, and Span
ish laborer. content in ordinary times with
a watermelon and a bit OF black bread,
viii toll in the vineyards and grow fat ON a
dietary OF onion porrioge and grapes It
is true that Mr.. Brassey, when building
the Continental railways, found that one
English navy was worth couple Of
spare.fed foreigners. But, on the other
hand, the British Columbian and Califor-
Man gold-diggers, than whom a more mag
niticent set of athletes does not exist, live
IN the remote mountains OF the Far West
mainly on beans favored with few cubes
of pork. But they also obtain the best of
water and the purest of air, and their out
door life and active exercise enable them
to digest every ounce Of their frugal fare.
The English soldiers, though better fed
than those of any army except the Ameri-
can, do not get one. half the amount OF
solid nutriment which the idlest Of club
Ionngers considers indispensable for his
sustenance. An athlete in training is al
lowed even less food; yet he prospers on
the limited fare, and prolongs his life by
the regimen by which he has been sub
jected. King Victor Emanuel was mon
arch of the most robust physique; yet he
only ate one meal per day, and it is mani
testify absurd for any man to require three
more or less weighty meals, and an after
noon cup of tea to support the exertion of
walking to the club, riding an hour IN the
park, writing a note or two, and dancing a
couple of miles around ballroom. The
ancients had their amethustoi," or $50
Der stones, by which they regulated their
indulgence at table. The moderns have
not even this. But they have their govt
and their hvers to warn them, when it IS
too late, that nature has been overtasked.
