Animal food is one olthe greatest means

depressed" says the Concord philosopher,
the venerable A. Bronson Alcott, in an ar
ticlc in the New York Independent. I'm
doubleday most people do cat too much
meat, and MIR. Alcott may be right when he
says that some of the strongest people on
the globe have taken no ami
nal food" but it is doubt
full if the race would not sacrifice some
thing of strength III abandoning all ami
nal food. Men engaged in physical labor
may require meat twice daily, although all
other persons should professionally re-
strict themselves tn the use OF it once each
day, as n rule. Perhaps most OF them would
suffer no loss OF strength, physical or men
tai, ifthey ate no animal food but fowl,
eggs and fish. But while properly dissent

should he wholly banished from the
table, the people will be unwise who
disregard his recommendation of II more

William Cullen Bryant, "ail pure poet,

"FLYING DUTCHMAN."
The Relative Speed of Fast Trains on the
English and American Railways.

A critical examination of the speed Of the
English railroad trains, writes a correspond
.nt, does not sustain the commonplace
ceptsd notion of their great velocity, nor
proye that progress in accelerating speed
which was TO be looked for in the country
where the railroad was born and Graded.
The famous Flying Dutchman" on the
Great Western Railroad, makes the run
from London to Exeter, l94 miles, in four
hours and fourteen minutes. With four
stops it attains speed OF almost
iorty-six miles an hour. A tram
on the Great Northern Road, the
Leeds express" does better. 1t makes
the distance from London to Leeds, 1877
miles, in four hours-almost forty-seven
miles an hour, with four stops. The train
carving the Irish mail to Holyhead over
the London d Northwestern line and dubbed
years ago THE Wild lrishman," has now
sunk into comparative obscurity with its
rate of Il little less than forty miles an hour
The competition over several OF the great
lines to populous Scotch cities leads to some
fast schedules. The morning express on
the Great Northern Road makes only four
stops along the line from London to Edin-
burgh, 500 miles and flies over the whole
distance in nine hours, with an average rate
of almost forty-four miles an hour; and on
the Midland line the night Scotch express
runs the A25 miles to Glas-
COW with speed OF forty and
one-half miles an hour These are the
four swiftcst trains in England, and, rs will
be seen, the Leeds express, with its rate OF
g. miles an hour, is the tieetest of them all.
Three out OF the four trains probably beat
the running time for the same distance on
any other roads in the world. They are all,
however, far outstripped for short dis
lance by the train on the Pennsylvania
Railroad which leaves Jersey City ut 4:l0
p. NJ. and makes the run Of about IS miles
To Philadelphia in 100 minutes, with one
stop. at Trenton. The 81 $40 miles an
hour made by this American train is probs-
bly, without parallel in the schedule
time of any railroad company on
the globe 1t may be mentioned
;ha, the fast trains recently put on
by the Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt roads
between New York and Chicago compare
well as to time with the long runs on the
English and Scotch lines, and more than
double ,hem as to distance. On both the
American and English system OF railroads
II must also be remembered that for short
stretches ofstraight track. with good road
bed ard favorng grades, speed of sixty
miles or more an hour is not very uncom-
mon. The ordinary time Of passenger
trains on the British railroads does not vary
much, il any, from the speed Of TIE cores
bonding trains on our Steel-railcd lines
about IS miles an hour for express and o.
for accommodation trains.
