Food for a Lifetime.

A curious calculation of the amount
of food consumed in lifetime of seventy
years has recently been made by NJ.
Soyer, French savsnt, now chef Of the
Reform club of London. Among other
things NJ. Soyer says that the average
epicure of three score and ten will have
consumed 50 oxen, 200 sheep. 100 calves.
200 lambs, so pigs. 1890 fowls, loco
fish of different kinds, 10000 oysters,
5,475 pounds of vegetables, e4s pounds
of butter. 1900 eggs and tons of
bread, besides several hogsheads of wine,
tes, coffee, etc. This enormous amount
of food will weigh but little short Of 40

No High Comedy Souasax..

This generation knows almost nothing
by stage experience of pure high comedy
except in the way Of revival What un-
der the name of comedy has occasionally
won success on our English stage is a
production which has somewhat reached
upward to tragedy or stretched DOWN
ward to farce, or, more often, has Dor
rowed the fine feathers of melodrama
The true, fuller modern comedy, such as
Moliere initiated, and even our best res
toration comedy playwrights have but
poorly initiated from him, and such as
once or twice that greatest comedy gee
MUS of this century, Labiche, has at
tempted in an age that asked for lower
things, is an unknown thing now on the
London stage.
Now this finer and fuller comedy that
we know not is more than mere represen-
tation of lie. or even an Interpretation
of it. It is a larger thing altogether, for,
first, it must contain some element OF
not unkindly satire, with keen wit and
broad humor. or it is no true comedy.
Then, too, nature is not to be merely
photographed, but a mirror is to be held
up to reflect the likeness and at times
the antics of human nature; but it must
be magic mirror. that shall have just
such power of artful distortion in it as
that we shall never ourselves be hurt to
think we perceive our own hneaments
disfigured or our own motions Knocked.
Finally. there must be some sort of cleo
tricism-a picking out of the salient
points of human nature, an intensified
ton and an enhancement. 1t is clear
there must be this, for the realism loving
audiences could not stand the pointless
and long winded talk of ordinary men
and women.-Fortnightly Review.

needed to cook them 1t is said that
they do this without any idea of irrever-
