WHAT They ATE.-Dr. Rondelet, an
ancient writer on fishes, was so fond Of
figs, that he died, in 1866, of a surfeit,
oecasiened by eating them to excess. In
letter to friend, DR.. Parr confesses his
love of " hot boiled Holsters, with a bro.
fusion of shrimp sauce" Pope, who was
an eplcure, would Iie in bed for DAYS at
Lord B0lingbroke's. unless he was told
there were stewed lampreys for dinner,
when he arose instantly, and came down
to table. A gentleman treated DR.. John.
son to new honey and clouted cream, Of
which ne ate so largely, that his enter.
tanner became alarmed. All his lifetime
DIR. Johnson had voracious attachment
Tor leg ofmutton. cat my aunt Ford So
says he, II ate so much of boiled leg OF
mutton, that she used to talk of it. Nv
mother, who was affected by little things,
told me seriously that it would hardly
ever be forgotten" Dryden, writing in
1899 to lady, declining her invitation
to handsome supper, says: f" If beggars
might be choOsers, chine of honest ba-
con would please my appetite more than
all the marrow buildings, for / like them
better plain, having a very vulgar stom.
ach." Or. George Fordycc contended
that as one meal day was enough for a
lion, it ought to suffice for a man.
Accordingly, for more than twenty years,
the doctor used to eat only dinner in
the whole course of the day. This soli-
tary meal he took regularly at four elk.
at Dolly's Chop House. A pound and a
half OF rump steaks, half boiled chicken,
plate of fish, a bottle of port, a quarter
OF pint of brandy, and a tankard of
strong ale, satisfied the doctor moderate
wants TIL four o'clock the next day, and
regularly engaged one hour and a half of
his time. Dinner over, he returned 10
his home IN Essex street, Strand, to de.
liver his six o'clock lecture On anatomy
and chemistry. Baron Masores, who
lived nearly to the age of ninety, used to
go home one day in every week without
any dinner eating only round of dry
toast at tea. Aristotle, like true poet.
Seems to have literally feasted on fancy.
Few could live more frugally: in one of
his poems he says of himself, s'that he
