In the most highly civilized European
countries an increased consumption Of an
hmal food is regarded as u certain sign of
national prosperity. and the Inference is.
for the most part, correctly drawn. The
poor know fun we'll that meats of various
kinds enter largely into the diet of the
rich. Experience teaches them that few
ounces Of beef or mutton are far moro sat-
isfying than any combination OF vegcta
bles, and If their circumstances improve
they soon increase the supply Of animal
food for themselves and families. Ii has
often been remarked that u decrease in the
price of bread Is followed not by increased
consumption of that article. but by an in
creased demand for meat. The money
saved in the expenditure ON bread goes 10
procure . further supply Of animal food.
In certain classes of the community, not
prone tn exhibit much self restraint, an
enormous consumption of animal food is
the inyariablc accompaniment Of increased
earnings. The old fashioned contempt for
Foreigners was based, To some extent, on
the belief that they could not be otherwise
than miserable creatures because of tho
character of their diet. Martin Poyscr. in
Adam Bcdo, = well expresses the popular
idea once entertained with regard To tho
French and their food: They ne'cr ate u
bit o. beef 4 their lives. Mostly sallct,

II, however. all extreme eases he disre-
garded, and only moderate people of all
ranks be taken into consideration. 1t will
be found that the majority regard animal
food as the staff of life, and vegetables of
all kinds MS more or less important acccs-
sorics hut as serving mainly TO dilute u
diet which would otherwise be too strong
for the system. Absolutely to exclude
meat from our regular diet, and to attempt
TO exist ON vegetables alone. would be re-
garded by most persons as sign of crazi-
ness, and rs certain 10 be followed by

Ever and anon he could hear the low

The sinews began to strain, the huge

been successful.

a military commission to Cuba 20 report
on the condition of affairs there. In
this connection it is announced that Gen

other high officials of the army have

Food.

One Went Twenty-Five Days without
Food.
Some very long survivals are on rec
ord, but none. perhaps, more interesting
or remarkable than a " ell-authenticated
case which comes from France, says
Public Opinion. Mr.. Gely, a superin-
tendent at Dampierre, in the department
of the upper Saone, has a deg named
Rigolet, which, although past ten years
old and almost toothless, has never
abated the activity OF his warfare against
all the animals of the warfare, especially
rainst foxes A short time ago as Mr.
Gely, with his dog, was passing the
mouth of foxburrow, Rigolet made a
sudden and furious descent on the bur-
row, showing plainly that it was inhab-
tied 1t had so spacious an opening that
the dog forced himself into it quite out
of sight Presently the master heard the
tumult of a battle within. The dog was
barking fercely. Then there came a
sound of a cavin-in and the noise ceased.
Either Rigolet had been silenced by the
fox or he had been engulfed BY the col
lapse of the gallery in which the fight
was taking place. Mr.. Gely set about
digging him out, but found the ground
so stony that he was obliged to give it up
and the old dog was left to his fate.
Gelv went home, and after mourning
the dog few days, thought of him no
more Twenty days went by. 1t
happened that the miller of the neigh
borhood, passing the fox-burrow with a
friend, said: There's the place where
poor old Rigolet was buried alive"
lust then he heard a feeble whining
which seemed to come from under
ground He called and listened and the
whining was repeated louder than
before. There was certainly a dog
within the fox burrow The miller ran
to apprise Gely who this time brought
picks and shovels and sufficient num-
Der of hands to open the burrow. After
FIVE hours of active digging the old
dog was unearthed at a considerable
depth. AS soon as he was brought to
the open air Rigolet fell to the ground,
apparently dead. But his master sue
ceeded in reviving him with doses Of
beef tea and milk and the old dog was
seemingly as good as ever. 1t became a
question whether he had tasted in the
burrow for the twenty-five days or
whether he had subsisfed on the fox,
which ne certainly found. 1t was as
sumed by his master that he was too
nearly toothless 10 have been able to
devour fox, and those who dug him
out declared that there was no sign
that he had had anything to sat.
