Here they found the wild boar subsisting upon the mast of the forest, and him they domesticated out of an economic necessity, to take the place of their larger cattle as a basis of food supply. Until then they had not been meat eaters, and so had known no necessity for cereals, for milk is a balanced ration in itself.

We ourselves use nuts, milk, fruits, whole wheat bread, rice in very small quantity, pulse, etc. Those who are non-meat eaters and we advise it strongly will do well to see to it that their menu has a good supply of albuminous food, as vegetarians often run the risk of being overfed as to starch and underfed in nitrogenous foods.

To Shayung. We meet Tibetans on the mountains. Chinese cruelty. Opium smoker as a companion. Opium refugees. One opinion only on the subject. Mission work among smokers and eaters. Mere words are a feeble means to employ to describe the mountains of Yün-nan.

The eaters are going to be eaten in turn. Those are the mackerel themselves; and I suspect they see Mr. Whale, and are scrambling out of the way as fast as they can, lest he should swallow them down, a dozen at a time. Look out sharp for him now. I hope he will not come very near. No. The fish are going from us and past us. If he comes up, he will come up astern of us, so look back. There he is!

There were scores of poems, one in Latin and many in French. Americans seem to have been contented to quote Kipling, the "Lotus Eaters," or Omar, but Englishmen had written their own. English university men are generous poetasters. I have read their verses in inns and outhouses of many countries. Usually they season with a sprig from Horace or Vergil. "I'm goin' to the west'ard," said McTavish.

It states that the whole of the neighbouring inhabitants had fled before the French soldiers, in the belief that they were destroyers of religion and eaters of babies: this was inconvenient, as it prevented the supply of provisions and the success of forced loans.

Frank shuddered; for he had a wholesome disgust for the man eaters. "Hope they don't smell us," he said. "And so do I," agreed Jack. "We couldn't hope to fight them off, for we have no arms." "I've got a knife," said Harris, "but I am afraid I wouldn't know what to do with it should a shark get after me." The three became silent, saving all their strength for swimming.

Here was a great number of the poor whites, called "Clay- eaters," who complained about government dealing rations to colored people. I heard one of them, say that "if niggers would stay where they belonged, with their masters, they would have more white-bread and beef."

The sharks of Tokelau have no teeth, like the people there, for they too are eaters of fala." This evoked a sally of laughter, in which of course I joined. However, I was to have my own little joke at Viliamu's expense later on.

During the twentieth century the proportion of the fruit eaters among the peoples of the great manufacturing countries will be very largely augmented, and this result will be brought about mainly through the instrumentality of methods of keeping perishable produce free from deterioration by maintaining it almost at the freezing point a temperature at which, under suitable conditions as regards exclusion of moisture, and steadiness of hygrometric pressure, the germs of decay in food are practically prevented from coming to maturity.
