The industries of the denizens Of lie Guar

essentially light, and call for the exercise Of

elcrs. They also monopolizs to a great e1-
tent the milliners supplies trades, and here
is really made the greater proportion Of the
delicate artificial flowers, fruits and laces i'm
ported directly from France. The women
have always been celebrated foc the beauty
OF their embroidery, and in these back alleys
are made the laoes that viii go toward max

rxper;ence of a Vegetarian.

Mr. McCrone has always been very hard
worker, and in the field would outwork any
of his numerous laborers who were animal
food eaters and troubled with frequent de-
sire for drink, to crafty which not only re-
tarded them in their work, but was source
of relaxation as well He never feels the
need of water or other liquids as beverage,
but uses generous supply Of milk in his
diet His general diet consists Of oatmeal
and milk, Graham bread crackers, vegetable
soups, potatoes, corn and other common
vegetables, and also considerable fruit Of
various kinds His use of drinking water,
he thinks, viii not average over q quart a
year, fruit supplying great deal Of the
moisture necessary for the body.
As regards the relish of food it is we'll
known fact that more discriminating taste
is acquired by entire abstinence from meat,
and if this be doubted, trial of a few weeks,
even two weeks, will convince the most
skeptical that it is not owing to q keener
appetite consequent upon the stoppage of the
habitual hearty diet, but that meat really
does blunt the taste-and such trial will
injure no one. Mr.. McCrone thinks three
weeks fair trial, and believes that any one
at the end of that time will admit that he
feels better and derives more enjoyment from
the food he eats, and If continued, will be
better in every way for it. He cites the
healthier condition Of the lower classes ia
foreign countries, who are unable from their
small wages to obtain meat; while those Of
better means, in the cities principally, live
upon animal food and are as q rule Of more
feeble constitution and in no way SO well
equipped for hfe's battle. Consequently the
recruiting supply Of the armies Of those
countries is drawn largely from the poorer
classes, who have more endurance and are
better fighters than their city cousins They
transmit stronger constitutions to their Off
spring, and are longer lived, and practically
free from the pains and ills which humanity
is commonly afflicted with. The history Of
various ancient nations furnishes strong ar
guments in favor Of his doctrine in their rise,
strength, progress and decadence.-Spring-
