from this class and it would be difficult TO find
more hardy and enduring people.
In the merchant and official class and the no.
bty the diet differs in the substitution of rice for
barley the use of more fish and the addition of
meat TO a certain extent. The peasants eat no
meat because they regard cattle with great afrec-
ton as their friends and helpers They would no
more think OF eating the flesh OF a COW or OK,
without which their farming would be almost i'm
possible, than your people would eat pet animal.

Some idea Of the small proportion that flesh
food bears to the entire diet may be gained from
the fact that in 1893 the number of cattle killed
was forty seven thousand head. This quantity was
used by about sixteen millions of people. the re-
mainder OF the tntlre population of about forty

The language of the college is English, although
