'availed of in t'hoso parte. The re is j & modicum of sattssfaotiom to be derived from a contemplation of this development. A weW-kinown Professor v>f Hygiene hois recently emphasised til© fact that the consumption of fudi produces an appreciable addition to the mental faculties. Mark Twain onco advised a youth milio asked hov much fish 'he should cat to develop j !his brain, to cc'iisume a. whale.
