A Noted Vegetarian

A Noted Vegetarian.—Francis W. Newman, brother to Cardinal Newman, recently died in England at the advanced age of 92. His health was good and mind clear to the last. He attributed his longevity and good health to his temperance, regularity, and especially to a vegetarian diet. His "habit was to dine on the first solid dish that presented itself," thus avoiding overeating. He tells us that his "digestion was always painful" until he "became a vegetarian." He always took plenty of sleep. Seven hours he considered normal, six too little, and often desired eight. He loved walking for exercise. He wrote much on vegetarianism and temperance.
