not only by skill in cooking, but also by
ingenuity in providing variety of food,
by cleanliness in its preparation, prompt.
ness and neatness in its serving, and by
the exclusion of such articles as have
been condemned in this paper. Among
wealthy people of intelligence, great at.
tention is paid to these matters. 1t is
the object of this paper to teach the
humble laboring man, and men of mod
crate means in other spheres of life, to
attain the same comfort, pleasure and
benefit from his homely fare which the
rich man obtains from his dainties.
Rapid eating or "boltipg food" is es.
sentlally All American habit. To obtain
a correct conception of this habit, one
should visit restaurant in the vicinity
OF Wall street, where sandwiches and
other prepared food are dealt across
the counter to the hungry, time pressed
brokers and clerks, or one should watch
the passengers of railway train while
devouring their meal at wayside inn.
10 these people time is precious; every
1eeting moment may cost something, or
delay q journey. But why should the
American farmer eat "on time"? why
should he, in the quiet, peaceful pursuit
of his vocation, grudge himself the time
he occupies i'll supplying his body with
strength and energy for his labors? Even
at the MONDAY meal, for which an entire
hour is allotted, l have seen the farmer
shoyeling in his food in hot haste, rising
from the table with quick push of the
chair, and rushing for his hat, as if a
railway train were awaiting him. have
seen, too, the unhappy results of this
habit, which seems to have taken root
among these people, despite the fact that
they have ample time to satisfy the de-
mands Of nature. Again and again have
they been astonished on being asked
about their habits, when they came to
me for advice, &c learn that I charged
them with rapid eating, and in great
many instances have they plead guilty to
the charge. Especially among boys and
young men has this pernicious boiling of
food made numerous victims of oliver

change habit so fixed rs this seems TO
be; but if can succeed in inducing
even small number to heed my advice,
| will be content. The object of chew
ing food is to prepare it for stomach di-
gestion, not alone by mechanical subdi-
vision of its particles, but also by com
mingling the latter with the saliva, which
contains certain ingredients, without
which rice, potatoes, bread and similar
food could not readily be digested. A
slow, deliberate mastication is therefore
as essential as is the proper cooking OF
the food. After the toll and worry OF
the day, the working man should enjoy
his meal. This he cannot do, if he bolts
his food in hot haste; and not only does
he deprive himself Of present enjoyment
but he also entails upon himself, by this

happiness.
