The Art of Eating.
of the mines

Eating is the tirst thing we learn to
do and the last thing we learn to do
right. Some never learn it at all and
end their lives and their happiness
through the neglect. AS it consumes
much of our time and must always
do so it is a duty to make it an ade-
quate source OF pleasure. 1t is some
thing which all may appreciate, and SO
has much to do with democratizing
pleasure. As long as pleasure is con-
fined to the higher Ito music, litera,
ture or contemplation-itm must be linz
tied and be the privilege of a few who
can have the required culture. 1t is
important to secure enjoyments which
all men may have and not depreciate
the capacity Of the poor or low. That
tAere may be much happiness it must
be In the many, and these can have
)nly a simple happiness. The good
things of life must be found in the
eoinmon acts in the elementary things
which are necessary to life itself or
which every one will occasionally
ave. To disparage physical enjoy
nents-though all enjoyments are such
lis to try to limit enjoyment to the
.ach or the STANDARDIZATION Cooking
