Easter day is the first Sunday after the

Christians to salute each other on the

This practice still obtains in the Greek

sunday Dinner.

Sunday, by large majority of man.
kind, is made day of fessting, and the
Sunday dinner is the principal one of the
whole week. If there is any acrimping it
is done through the week, and the
strength of the purse and the efforts Of
the housewife are both concentrated and
brought to focus upon a Sunday din
ner.
Sunday is said to be day of rest; but
very little rest does the stomach find
when it is loaded with an assorted cargo
Of highly seasoned viands, which gives it
a job of overwork. And this is moro on,
Orous and provoking, as it'soWner lounges
around and takes little or no exercise,
which leaves the other organs without
employment, and the poor stomach has
to work on all alone, although it often
exercises its constitutional right of grum-
bling at its owners indiscsetion and glut-
tony, which had such extent that by the
close of the day he feels much like q
stuffed anaconda.
IF the quantity Of food We eat Is to be
regulated by the exercise of the body,
then the Sunday meal should be the
lightest Of the week as, usually, but lit
tie physical exercise is taken on thatday
whereas the contrary is the fact, and the
appetite is nursed and whetted through
out the week that it may make an on
slaught on the fat of the land on Sun
day, which is a manifest improperly anG
q gross violation of the laws of health.

SENATOR EDMUNDS' INCOME.
Chicago Times: Mr. Edmunds, as the
new president of the senate and acting
vice president of the United States,
comes ia for his share of investigation
by Paul Pry, and the result is declara-
ton that the Vermont senator is far from
being in "Ihe very moderate circumstan-
ces" that he has very often been reported
to be. The facts, as given by a journal
ist who spends part of each year near
an income ranging from $50, 600 to $780,
000 a year. His salary as senator is
50 600 year. He receives a salary OF
$1,000 year as counsel for the Vermont
Central Railroad company. There is
not Il single important case brought to
the supreme court that does not go to
him for an opinion. For these opinions
he receives sums varying from 5000 to
$4,000. This spring he went over to
New York, and made an argument
in two cases. His fee in each was $lO,-
900. When Matt Carpenter died he had
in hand all the complicated cases grow
ing out of French claims and the litiga-
ton of the cable companies in this cOun-
try. When Carpenter found that be
was going to die he notified these CON-
panies. They asked him TO name his
successor. He said Senator Edmunds
was the only man who could take charge
of the Communicated details of The cases.
II is said on good authority that MIR.
Edmunds, after Carpenters death, re-
ceived 100000 in s,taiAers from the
cable companies. The same authority
puts Mr.. Edmunds' total possessions
down at over $1,000 Iu this connec-
ton 1t may be stated that Mr. Edmunds
told friend here the other day that he
expected to be chairman of the commit
tee of the Judiciary In the forty. eighth
congress. This confirms the rnmoI
that he will resign the presidency-ot the
senate as soon as congress meets.

but that he was sensible enough to
know that there WAS q lime for every

cans of the country. urging his candi
dacy for the next campaign. but other
friends tell him that his time Is not yet !;
that he is sill young; snd thai he would
run better in 1888 His friend further said
that the growth of LincoIn's popular
lty Was not generally known to the
world. Those who are with him every
day know best of the confidence in him
that is growing among the people, not
on his fathers account but on account
Of his. own personal character. Il is
claimed that no secretary Of war ever
mastefed the details of his department
30 thoroughly As he. and that his exec
utive ability is daily. demanding more
general recognition. So saying. the
friend referred ta added: Lincoln will
be the man if it looks like a despt rate
case next summer, but If not he will be
in 1885," A local paper
on the same subject says to-day: at is
that Mr.. Secretary Chandler
thinks himself well fitted for the vice
presidency. lincoln and Chandler
would not sound bad, and the combina-
tlon would be 8 strong one. The
friends of Blaine could not refuse to
support it, although 1t could hardly re-
suit in making Mr.. Blaine the next Sec
rotary of state"
