The Pleasures of the fable.
The simplest food will not suffice to
maintain a community iu mental and
physical health, and to produce people tho
highest form of efforts. A who
liveou rice will usually be found unfit to
do anything better than grow rice,
Monotony in food, as in other things,
ts-gets dullness. For all classes there
must lie something iu life to look lor
ward to if men are not to become soured;
and, constituted as we are at present,
the pleasures of tho table must continue
to form au important element among the
pleasures avauablo for mail. But if the
use of huurous food be defensible on
these grounds, absolute waste of «ffeci food,
at any rate, produces the ill
pointed out, without any compensating glut
advantage. The dinner at every
touous city least contributes tils quota
to the al toady existing distress in some
other part of the community. So does
tho guest At a charity dinner. The
money he subsciibes to ihe charity is
merely » transfer of wealth wtiiidi leaves
the world neither rich nor poorer; the
dinner he eats or leaves increases the
poverty of Ids neighbor.— The, Fort
Review.
