Vegetarianism..

A new refinement of vegetarianism has been devised. At a recent vegetarian banquet in England, after the usual amount of distenßive food had been consumed, a malcontent had the courage to observe that if we left off rearing animals for food it wbuld interfere with clothes. Ee was, however, instantly confuted in the most practical manner by a true vegetarian, who arose and asserted that he was completely dressed

f 4 in material which had involved no bloodr guiltiness whatever. A cotton velveteen coat, dark linen drill waistcoat, corduroy trousers, and lawn-tennis shoes constituted the array of this animals’ friend. He also committed himself to the statement that “he had never taSted animal food in his life.”
