The reports of President Arthur's
Ill health are now stated to be greatly
exaggerated. That must be a fact.

SAID lately he would not be able to
talk OF trip to Fortress Monroe and
around on government vessel. A
man really wants TO be in pretty good
health to risk himself on a govern
ment vessel, as the president himself
found out last year when he was sail
ing around for his health for a NUM-
Der of weeks. But Mr.. Arthur really
needs rest. He is not overworked as
president, but he is a great society
man, and the exactions of social life
have told on him severely. Not much
more will be required of him this
year, but he ought to take good care
of himself now, in order that he may
be able to meet all the requirements
of next season. Everybody will be
glad to have Mr.. Arthur take some
much needed rest now.

Easter Sunday is the greatest of all
Christian festivals. The Teutonic
term probably had it's origin from the
festival of the goddess Ostara, ceie-
brated in the spring, and, in Anglo
Saxon, called Eastre, which was cele-
brated by the Saxons of old at about
the same period now celebrated by
the Christians everywhere in memory
of the resurrection of Christ. 1t
lasted eight days in the ancient
church. The manner of determin-
ing the time of Easter Sunday is
very simple as arranged in 1882 under
the Gregorian calendar. which took
the metric system of fixing it. as had
long been used in the west. The rule
is this: Easter is always the first
Sunday after the Paschal full moon,
i. e. the full moon which happens
upon or next after the 21st of March,
which date is the beginning of the
ecclesiastic year, and if the full moon
happens upon Sunday, Easter is the
Sunday after. 1t will be found
from the above that Easter can
come as early as March % or as late
as April 20. though it very seldom
reaches either of these extremes. The
following are the days of the month
on which Easter will fall for the re-
mainder of this century; 1884, April

Back in Texas.

Mr.. Augustus E. Ivey. well known
some years ago in Austin, when he
was sergeant-at-arms of one of the
houses of the legislature, is in the
city. Mr.. Ivey, though a native
Texan, is a member of the Cherokee
tribe of Indians. He was raised in
north Texas, and was for some time
the editor and proprietor of the North
Texas Enterprise. About five or six
years ago he took up his residence
among the Cherokees in the Indian
nation and published a paper there
and was national publisher and dele
gate to Washington. Hehas returned
to Texas, he says, to live in the state
permanently, and thinks of settling
at Fort Worth.
1t was reported yesterday that a
man named Knuckle, who died Sun

The Governors Mansion

Since the present legislature deter
mined to make the governors man
sion house decent to live in, great
changes have taken place in the ap-
pearance of things up there. The
yards are being beautified, shrubbery
trimmed, fountains put in order, out
houses repaired and painted, new
stable built, and the mansion itself
painted outside in a tasty manner.
But it is the inside of the
building where the greatest i'm
provement has been made. The hall
has been freshly painted and light
blown, bright figured carpet put on
the floor. The governors private
sitting room at the left on enterin G is
frescoed in oil, the walls an ungrain-
ed oak color, and the ceiling sea-
green; it is very pleasing to the
eye; the carpet it fine Brussels, red
figures on dark ground. The double
parlors are frescoed in oil, the
color used beingiashes of roses, and is
very beautiful. The carpet on the
floors of the parlors is very fine the
finest Brussels, of beautiful light
yellow ground on which are sprinkled
tea and moss roses. NJ. Kreisle
Co., the state upholsters, who fur
nished and refitted the house inside,
have displayed a commendable taste
in blending the. colors of the carpet
with that of the walls and ceiling, SO
as to make a gentle contrast that
combines to give pleasant SEN
sation to the mind. The dining
hall hasIbeen newly painted, and oil
cloth put on the floor; stair carpet,
deafened, is on the steps leading up
stairs, where the same evidence of
taste is found to have been displayed
by Mr.. Kreisle in choosing carpets
and furniture. The bed chambers
have all been newly carpeted; and in
the governors bed chamber-the
southeast room-one of those extra
fine bedroom sets of furniture Mr..
Kreisle hasIhad on exhibition at his
store room has been placed,
The entire house, appointment and
furnishinR presents a real home-like
appearance, and is a very great inn
proyement over the old mansion in
the past few years.
1t may be remarked that the little
trees lanted out in front of the
grounds are anything but aesthetic,
and it would seem that, after waiting
forty years to think up the kind of
shade and ornamental trees to be
planted, much better and handsome
er variety could have been selected.

Milk is a perfect hot weather food. 1t
is in fact, a perfect human food for any
season, for any climate where it can be
used before it changes and for persons
of all ages-young or old All authori
ties on the subject of foods place it at the
head Of animal substances for this pur-
pose, and DR.. Letheby says it is ''the
type or standard Of a perfect food, and
Dr. Edward Smith, one OF the latest au-
tborities on this subject writes 'AIlk
is one of the most important foods which
nature has supplied for the use OF man,
since it contains all the elements OF nu-
triton within itself, and in the most di-
restjhle form" From many sources we
might multiply testimony Of this nature,
hut it would not be newt would not be
more convincing than those given.
We plead for a greater use of milk =
pure milk when it can be had, as Il food
for young and Old. in town and country,
during the approaching hot season. On
farms and in most country villages pure
milk can be obtained In cities the mat
ter may be questionable; but whenever
il can be had. let it be eaten and drunk
at meals, morning. noon and night, by
children, by school girls. by working-m
by brain workers. by mothers, by old
people. by everybody. 1t is cheap. it is
healthy. it is rich in nitrogenous and fat
tening matters. it is unstmulating. and
consequently fitted for hot weather

are sick are equally sustained by it. We

on this diet the physical strength was

indigestion or similar troubles with food.
