President Arthur's Everyday Life

From Washington Correspondence
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Few men work more hours in the
day than the President. He rises
about 9:30 in the morning, takes 4
cold bath, shaves, drinks a cup of cof-
fee, eats an egg or a piece of toast and
then goes into the executive chamber
to receive Congressional or other
people who come to him OH business.
By 1880 or o'clock this ordeal is
over, when he reads his mail, dictates
replies to letters that require an imme-
diate answer and disposes of whatever
papers may have been left with him
by the callers of the morning, referr.
ing them to this department or that,
as their contents may require. Then
about 2 O clock he takes his luncheon
with the family, and generally a
friend or two who may be invited in.
After luncheon, if he has made ap'
pointments, he receives company in
the library and if not he retires to the
little room in the corner, where he
lights a cigar, writes or dictates
letters, reads documents that require
his attention and performs the officia

MIR. ED1ToR.-We raise pro test.
Any man has right to die, whether
he belongs to OUR lodge or not, but in
the way which he dies or what he dies
of we have got something to say. When
one brother hung himself it was bad
enough, but we said nothing. When
another brother died of Cerobrospin-
| almeningitis it was worse, but we
| still held our peace. But when they
come to die of Daluth, it is too much,
we will not stand it. It is an infring-
ment upon the peace and dignity of
our order. It is dying without legal
authority Oh the sanction of the
church, and what is worse, without
precedent, who ever heard of a man
dying of Duluth before If man is
bound to die, let him die in a christian
manner. and of a disease that the
physicians know something about.
This promisucous dying has got to be
stopped. What is this disease called
Duluth any way, and do you suppose it
is contagious? 1 am not certain
about the law Mr.. Editor but think
that if another man belong
ing to the A. O. U. W.. dies of Duluth
he will have to be brought to life
again. A. N. TULL.

A bright looking young woman, who
wore low shoes aud light blue stockings,
made a misstep in going ashore from the
steamboat Cetus ut Concy Island re-
Gently, and fell into the water. One of
the deckhands promptly threw off his
straw hat and blouse and leaped in after
her. Hundreds OF people crowded to
the edge of the boat and eagerly watched
the attempted rescue. The deckhand
caught the young woman around the
waist and bore her up until Il small boat
came out from under the iron pier and
picked up both the rcscucr and the res
cued. The young woman had swal-
lowed more or less water, but she was
none the less sprightly for all that.
You have had pretty close shave,
miss, said the deckhand as the dripping
coupled clamberod up on the pier.
Yes, but where is my FAM said the
young woman, with animation

with nothing better to do, has made the
following computation, which is curious,
if not essentially correct. He says that
German mile-about five English miles
contains 25,S56 feet; II square Ger
man mile contains, therefore, GGS 800,
900 square feet. The superficial area
OF the lake of Constance, being 81 Ger
