life made SO miserable by the i'll tenn
pc 1of those who are obliged to live to-

domestic life and manners in England
with those Of other countries where
meat does not form such an integral ar.
sicle of diet, a notable improvement
will be remarked. In less meat eating

In fish and rice eating Japan, harsh
words are unknown, and an exquisite
politeness to one another prevails ever
among the children who play together
in the streets. In Japan I never heard
rude. angry words spoken by any bu,

abundant meat dietary combined with
