gave a lunch, some weeks sgo,t to a
convention of Temperance reformers,
at which the menu comprised GRO
squettes of macaroni, vegetarian
goose" bean salad, apple dumpliDgs
and eustards. rogIod, baked apples,
Gamson cheese, oatmeal and coffee

melons, apples, pears, peanuts, bis
cults, arrowroot, exc. Dietetic reform
has many advocates in the higher
ranks of society in England. 1t is
connected ever with political science.
An Interesting paper was read at
the meeting of he British Association
at York, entitled . Corn or Cattle a
comparison of the economic results of
agriculture ami cattle Iaising, in rela-
ton to national food supply" The
author say~, that the people of Great
Britain, at present, are very largely
dependent, for their daily bread, upon
supplies from foreign sources, and that
the proportion ofimported, over home
grown, foods is steadily increasing so
that many think the British islands
really incapable OF feeding their in
habitants.
He proceeds to show, however, that if
the lands devoted to the pasture of
cattle, were titled and used for grain

turn of cereal crops " sufficient, at two
pounds a day, to feed 81, 702, S96 per-
SONS" The real remedy for over-pop-
ulaiion. he says, is food reform. BY
disseminating cattle-raising, he hopes
that England will be mo longer de-
pendent upon foreign nations, for her
food supply, but able, in her green
orchards and yellow corn fields, to
find an ample and healthy support for
her children, and her children's chill
dren.n
The college pulpit of st. Johns
takes up the strain. One of her learn
ed clergy said, in a Lepten sermon,
last year 1.-The sword Stays its thous-
ands; glutIony, ATS ten thousands. But
when we consult saints and sages, We
hear a clear aud harmonious voice.
Let as Who are Of the day be sober.
Wise men ofthe East and of the West,
stole and Epicurean, fathers and
reformers, Fisher and Luther, VIM.
Law and John Wesley, Thomas Ar
nold and John Keble, are all at one
in the doctrine and the practice of
strict temperance, soberness, and chas-
tity, as binding on all, possible to all.
Be ye holy, for I am holy, is no cruel
irony, but a promise ana means of
grace. His strength is made perfect in
our Wedkness. y \ Christ's law is our
birthright, written in our hearts we
cannot escape it we must obey or defy
it. Look upword, and there is before
you a discipline and a service, open
ing day by DAY into boundless
freedom, the freedom as of st. Paul or
Luther
Mr.. Wilson, the head master of Cliff
ton College, ascribes the superior
health and vigor ofthe lads and young
men at the Public Schools Ii. e. the
great, high-priced boarding-schools)
pnd the Universities Of England, to
the simple diet, which, on the whole,
prevails at both. Thus :. meat Is eaten
but oncea Gay, and the morning and
evening meals are light" He attlib-
utes to the same cause the superior
morality of the highly educated
youths. immortality, he says, 'has
been of late, increasing among the
upper classes in England. But at
Oxford and Cambridge this is not the
case. There is, / think, an entire con-
census of well-qualified opinion, that
the Universities are better than they
were, and have a standard of purity
and morals, higher than that of any
similar aggregate of men. Further,
the morality of public school men is
better than that of the private and
smaller schools. y 1t is of the first

Founders Day at Trinity is called
Scarlet Sunday" because the doc
tors all appear in their scarlet robes,
as well as in their hoods, which they
wear every Sunday. All Saints Day
was another scarlet day. The foreign
bishops were "Old Catholics WHO
have broken with Rome. We attend.
ed a reception meeting at which they
were welcomed. DR., Dollinger sent a
letter ; the Bishop of Ely, and one
other speaker, pronounced him "the
most learned man in the Western
Church." The Bishop of Winchester
said ~ believe him to be the great
