The Diet of Strong Men.

The Roman soldiers, who built such wonderful roads, and carried a weight; of armour and luggage which would crush the averager farm hand, lived on coarse brown bread and sour wine. They were temperate in diet?, and regular and constant in exercise. The Spanish peasant worts every day, and dances half the night, yet he eats only his black bread, onion, apd wafcer-melon. The Smyrna porter eats only a little fruit and some olives ; yet he walks off with his load of a hundred pounds. The coolie, fed on. rice, is more active, and can endure more, than the negro fed on fat meat. The heavywork of the world is not done by mea who eat the greatest quantity. Moderation in diet seems to be the prerequisite for endurance.
