GEN. ARTHUR's CONDITION.
Pulled Through 80 Far But shows Signs
of Weakening

NEW YORK, April 22-The report of eX-
President Arthur's condition, given yes
terday in answer to inquiry made at his
home, was that he was doing well and
was gradually improving This is in com
port with the usual information given at
his house and by those who are intimately
associated with him in business or other
wise, and by his physician, DIR. Peters.
This course is taken in obedience to the
commands of Gen. Arthur's family, and
cheerful reports were made even when the
patient was in an especially dangerous
condition. About two weeks ago he was
hardly expected to live until morning
He had u relapse and some new symptoms
had appeared, which, if they had not been
relieved by prompt treatment, would have
speedily brought about a fatal termina-
ton He rallied from the attendant shock,
but has been exceedingly weak and de
pressed since. Though possessed of great
vitality and remarkable recuperative
power, which have brought him through
many dangerous places in his illness safe
ly, there are signs that this strength is
giving way and that he has not the power
to resist the further encroachments of the
disease.
The Days of the Ex-President Certainly
Numbered.
NEW YORK, April 25.-The Times says :
The information now printed has been in
the possession of the Times for long
time, but has not been previously pub
lighed for obvious reasons. 1t comes from
those nearest eX-President Arthur, and is
entirely trustworthy and accurate. Months
ago the symptoms of Bright disease were
noticed. Three or four weeks ago the
heart trobles which are inseparable from
the aggravated stages Of Brlght's disease
were first observed, and for the first time
since the disease manifested itself hope
began to fade from the minds of those
who knew of Mr.. Arthur's illness. Out
side of the family his most intimate
friends are not allowed to see him, and
the utmost pains have been taken to pre-
vent knowledge of his real condition
from becoming public for fear that the
fact would unnecessarily agitate the pa
tient. Mr.. Arthur, himself, however, real
ICES his position thoroughly. He was al
ways fearful of falling victim to Brght's
disease, and now that he is in the clasp
of his dreaded enemy he fights with the
energy and courage which has always
distinguished him. But the advantages
are all one side and it is probably ques-
ton of a very few days for the struggle to
come to an end.

Going to Bed" Etiquette.

From the Boston Beacon.
1t is always debatable point o: ct
iquette, whether hostess or guest
makes the first movement to 60 to
bed, and thus breaks up the evening
gathering. The guest may be over

ney, the host may be fdgeting under
the strain OF entertaining and longing
for the guest to show some signs by
which he can gracefully and Hospitality
suggest that it is getting late" yet
neither quite like to appear, as they
think, impolite. In fact many visitors
have suffered agonies in trying to be
agreeable, while the host and hostess
were doing their best to suppress
their yawns and to ''make con-
versation" until chance offered
a solution of the difficulty. There is,
however, but one rule to be followed
in this relationship of host and host
ess, and the hour of retirement. The
host or hostess must always take the
initiative and say an appropriate
word as to the lateness of the hour and
the desirabillty of going to bed. A Bos-
ton lady who had entertained numer-
Gus "house parties" relates it as her ex-
perience that the visitors she most
breads are "owls" who like to sit up
till all is blue. Many is the time, she
says, she has regretted relays OF her
childhood, when the nurse appeared
at the drawing-rcom door promptly
at 8 O'Clock and carried her off to
bed. How gladly would she now well

rant when Obliged to find entertain
ment until midnight for people who
were as anxious, perhaps, as herself,

long years OF study and experiment. during
which time the Doctor was actively engaged

The Boston GIrrs Handbag.

Boston Letter in Minneapolis Tribune.
How fast the fashions change in the
things that Boston girls love to carry
in their handsl A short time ago it
was nothing but music rolls. They
were large, too-large enough to con-
ceal considerable stock OF shopping
plumber, or substantial luncheon, if
necessary. Almost every young girl
that you met, and many who were
not so young, used to carry one of
these brown or black leather rolls
about the streets, but when the wom-
en- of shady lives adopted the
music roll as a means OF disguise it
quickly disappeared from the hands
of innocent girls and is now not seen
at all. Its place has been taken by a
great bag shaped like purse, made of
cloth, and capable of much variety in
theway ofembroidery or other decora-
ton at the taste of the owner. 1t may be
carried in the hand. but the correct
Boston style is to have it flung over
the shoulder, with one baggy end hang.
ing in front and the other behind.
What under the sun it contains Ican't
conceive, but it is spacious enough for
almost anything that young girl Is
supposed to possess. tits reminder
of the old-fashioned saddlebags that
my grandfather used to throw across
the old mares back when he mounted
for an eighteen-mile ride to village in
the upper part of Maine for his store
supplies. Brass rings slip freely upon
the neck of the great purse, serving to
close the aperture and combining the
contents to the baggy ends. Whether
or not the Boston damsel carries her
treasure in one end and a stone to
balance it in the other, as the man
loaded the bags on his donkey, can
not say, but what she fills it with is n
mystt.y that haven't dared to ask
about. / suspect that the contents
are sham, and that the girl carries the
great thing on account of it's aesthetic
shape and ornamentation.

Mixed Rations.

Some animals are naturally limited
to one or few kinds of food. Cattle
do we'll enough month after month on
grass, and tiger will thrive with moth
ing but lean meat. But in the case of
the human, no matter how fond of a
particular dish, ne loses relish for it
when allowed nothing else for num-
Der of meals, and the craving for vari-
ETY. gives evidence of necessities of the
system, which are constantly varied
with the changing circumstances of
health, employment, and other con-
ditions. The fondness for variety
shown by fowls is equally significant
OF real need. Fish, flesh, herbs and
grain are devoured by them with equal
relish, for though they commonly
pounce upon insects with greater
avidity than upon grain, this is be-
cause it affords a rarity, and flock
kept for awhile on animal food will
show the same greed tor corn. Ju-
dicious variety-vegetable grain, meat
lis at all seasons necessary to best
results for young and old fowls. They
will not starve on corn and water,
nor will they pay the best profit SO
kept. The benefit derived from eat
ing charcoal is acknowledged, but
pounded it is not enticing to them.
Corn burned on the cob, and the refuse,
consisting almost entirely of the grains,
reduced to charcoal and still retaining
their perfect shape, is greedily taken,
with marked Improvement in health,
and is shown by brighter combs and
increased average of eggs.-Thos. d.

The breeding of swine, like the breed
ing of all other domestic animals has
become q science, and to make it q
success it must be conducted systemat-
ically like any other business. The
careless breeder need not expect to
reap much reward for his money or
labor expended in this direction. But
where they are properly managed,
swine come more nearly being the
everyday, always available stock of
the farmer than any other species of
domestic animal intended for the
shambles. With most other stock he
has to wait two or three years for q
full return on his investment, but from
his hogs hegathers crop every season.
The hog is always on hand to use up
almost any respectable refuse which
may be placed before him, thus con-
verting great deal OF otherwise
worthless provender into ready cash.
He is the farm scavenger as well as the
annual replenisher of the farmers
