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.
