SATISFYING THE MORAL SENSE. Bv J. O. Stair, M. D. There is harmony in nature. The diet which is best for the physical is also best for the moral nature of man. The shedding of blood and the taking of life are opposed by the moral sense of man. This is not a contention among teachers and authors on moral philosophy. So in science and nature there is no demonstnited feet that demands the use of flesh-meats for the best development of the physical natiue of man. The luscious fruit, the sweet grains and the savory vegetables and nuts in their various combinations and modes of prep- aration provide ample material for a feast for not only the elect of the land, but for all.

To one out-and-out convert, the Vegeta- rian advocate makes a hundred sympathizers who eat less meat than formerly. — John Naylor, Loudon, England.

With Moore at Chicago University and Weiner at Harvard, Vegetarian philosophy should take a strong hold ta both those seats of learning.

The article by Professor Weiner was pub- lished in the New \ot^ Journal and also is used in the January issue of Our Postscript, which will be ready about January lo.

The Board of Aldermen, Boston, Mass., have been asked by Charles Weiss for a license to carry on the business of slaughter- ing horses for the year ending April 30, 1900. The product is to be packed in bar- rels for export. It is expected to slaughter 1 20 horses a day.

Nothing can be more certain than that the exportation of nitrogenized products does not exhaust the fertility of a country ; inasmuch as it is not the soil but the atmos- phere which furnishes its vegetation with nitrogen. — ^Justus Liebig, M. D., Ph. D., F. R.S.

A Gospel Mission has been opened by the Seventh Day Adventists at 210 North Sec- ond street, Philadelphia, where both body and soul are fed and nourished. Vegetarian meals are served at one cent a course. This could hardly be done with flesh-meat as a basis. Brother A. F. Caldwell is described by our correspondent. Dr. de Learsy, as "a godly and able man superintending the kitchen, anda scientific Vegetarian cook."

Newton M. Mann in his discourse on kindness to animals, claims there is no word in our language to express it. There may not be one in the old dictionaries, but surely "Zoophily" will be included in all the new editions, as it has been for some years used by humanitarians.

The recent act of Parliament permitting those who conscientiously object to Vac- cination to preserve their children from the virus is a triumph gained by the Anti- Vac- cination Society, of England, of which Mr. Wm.Tebb was for many years the president. To him the credit of the victory is chiefly due.

More of our prominent army and navy officers die from the generous hospitality of Washington and other American cities than from the hardships incidental to war. Gen- eral Sheridan said there was less risk to life on the plains' fighting Indians than in eating dinners in Washington, and his own exper- ience proved it.

Would some one please express his opin- ion through the medium of Food, Home AND Garden, as to whether vegetables are liable to be infected with microbes and disease- germs otherwise than can be detected by the senses — the sight, smell and taste — as is the case with flesh-meat? — ^John Huls- man, Lopez, San Juan Co., Wash.

The Ang-to-Saxon is the name of a $1.00 magazine devoted to the identity of the Anglo-Saxon race with the house of Israel. Edited by George E. Ingils. 6627 Washing- ton avenue, Chicago. We do not know that either the Anglo-Saxon or the House of Israel will be complimented by the recog- nition. Both races have been guilty of acts of which neitlier should be proud.
