peoplr who have h.en brought up on

three times day, With vegetables aud
brad, will assert With great firmness
that without meat to give strength msn
cannot perform hard labor. Ia thl. they
overlook the feet that the beasts of bur
den, IN. horse, OK. camel, donkey and
rl-phsut, all liy. on vegetable food aud
endure more fatigue than u ever requir-
III of any carni,orou. animals. The
dog. the bear aud the Indian eat what
ever they can get hold %, but when the
Indian fills up Siih raw meat he u unit
for ANYTHING hut sleep for the next
tWentv-four hours and then he will gei
up and run for another dog or skunk
for the next feast. The most continuous
aud effective labor of the world, both
mental aud physical, l. done by men aud
animal. that live largely or wholly on
vegetable food. Now let "a see II the
RACES of meat eaters are perpetuatei by
their own habits.
The wolf seek. his food among the
drove. ~ deer and the sheep aud calves
around the frontier farms. When fufl-
ous With hunger aud excited by smell
~ blood he will deyOur his wounded
companion. but his main dependence U.
the fesh Of herbi,orous animals. The
fox 4. reported tO have refused grapes
on one occasion because they were too
sour, but there Il no proof that be ever
tasted them or would then II he could
have reached them. Outside OF the
fable. the fox catches rabbits and fowls
aud mice: nearly all Of his food being
those form. Of life that are sustained by
q vegetable diet. There l. no race of
caruiyorous animals that seeks, from
choIc. or hsbltu,lly. the fie.h OF tiesh
eaters. The customs Of mankind have
coniined their fie.h food to the animals
which live on grass ar other vegetable
food. Among the mo-t persistent sdNo-

.r, none that want 10 eat wolf, q fox
or A hawk aud bat few that can get up

tran.formatiOn from the vegetable 10
about all the well supplied aud properly
educated appetite can endure. And this
/. very near the line on which "clesn
beasts" we're divided from the ''unclesn'
so long ago. There are some which are
on sort Of middle ground according to
th. rule Of parted hoofs aud chewing
the cud, and IL iss peculiar Tact that
these are eaten by some people aud re-
lect-d by other..
The hog has parted hoofs but does not
chew hi. cud, even when he lives on
gra.. aud hay. And some race. OF men
~ill not eat pork. The rabbit has M

people will eat rabbits while more Will
not. This matter IL worth considering
