The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1880-06-17
Customs Of the United States Senate.

The United States Senate, saws the
Washington Star, represents the con-
servatism and the dignity of the Ameri-
can people, and to be member of that
body is an honor second only to that of
being President of the United States
The Senate is frequently criticised by
fiippant writers because of its heavy
dignity" but instead of being subject
of criticism this feature ought to be
and is with thinking people-one of con-
graduation. The Senate is the perma-
nent Legislative body of our Govern
ment, and partisanship is not permitted
the sway there that it exercises in the
House. There exists what is known as
the courtesy of the Senate" and
though no rule requires it, it is always
strictly observed. This {" courtesy" is
largely nOn-partisan in its nature, and
no Senator would think of violating it.
In regard to nominations it requires
that the Senators from the State to
which the appointment is made shall be
consulted upon the question of con6rma-
ton or rejection and their decision in
all ordinary cases determines the result
When the Notwithstanding appoint
ing power-is opposed ip politics to the
majority, as now, the custom is to
submit the matter to the Senator or
Senators, if there are any, from the
State affected by the appointment.
This courtesy governs the promotions
on committees, too, and no Senator
would ever think of prescribing any
other rule in this respect. When a
Senator is assigned to committee his
name is enrolled at the foot of the ma
jOrity or minority -according to his pol
tics and rs those above him retire he
goes up. For instance, when the Dem
Ocrats got control of the Senate it was
easy for anybody to determine what
Senators would become chairmen of the
respective committees. The highest
name among the Democrats on each
committee was promoted to the chair
manship in all cases except those where
the same Senator occupied that position
on more than one committed This
" courtesy" contributes largely to the
well-ordered dignity which the Senate
maintains, because it prevents any
scramble for preferment and nothing
is more undignified in a statesman than
that.
In the Senate the method of obtain
ing the more eligible seats is of the
same quiet and dignified order that
prevails in regulating other matters.
In a book kept for that purpose the
Senator has his name entered as choos-
ing a certain seat whenever the incum-
bent shall retire from the Senate or in
any other manner Vacate it. The Sen
ator may have to wait years for the seat
of his choice to become vacant; but there
is no other way for him tO.get it, unless
the possessor voluntarily makes an ex-
change with him. And such a thing as
voluntarily vacating a choice seat never
occurs.

Tight Shoes.

The wearing of shoes which COM
press and distort the feet is a singularly
Injurious custom, says medical writer
Suppose ! said that nine-tenths of the
feet were rendered misshapen by the
boots and shoes worn, the statement
would seem extreme, but it would be
within the truth. The pointed shoe or
boot is the most signal instance of a
mischieyous instrument designed for
the torture of feet In this shoe the
great toe is forced out of its natural
line toward the other toes, giving re-
verse curve from what is natural to the
terminal part of the inner side of the
foot, while all the other toes are COM
pressed together toward the great toe,
the whole producing a wedge-like form
of foot which is altogether apart from
the natural Such a foot has lost its
expanse of tread; such a foot has
lost its elastic resistance; such a foot
has lost the strength of its arch
to very considerable degree; such
a foot, by the irregular and unusual
pressure on certain points of its surface,
has become hard at those points and is
easily affected with cOrns and bunions.
Lastly, such foot becomes badly nour-
ished and the pressure eXerted upon it
interferes with its circulation and nutri-
ton. 1t ceases to be an instrument
upon which the body can sustain itself
with grace and with easiness of move
ment, even in early life; while in mature
life and in old age it becomes q foot
which is absolutely unsafe, and which
causes much of that irregular, hobbling
tread which often renders SO peculiar
the gait of persons who have passed
their meridian.
1t sometimes happens for time that
these mistakes in regard to the boot
and shoe are increased by the plan of
raising the heel, and letting it rest on a
raised impeachment of a pointed shape.
Anything more barbariOus can scarcely
be conceived. By this means the body,
which should naturally be balanced on
a most beautiful arch, is placed on an
inclined plane, and is only prevented
from falling forward by the action of
the muscles which counterbalance the
mechanical error. But all this is at the
expense of lost muscular effort along
the whole line of the muscular track,
from the heels actually to the back of
the head-a loss of force which is absO-
lutely useless, and, as / have known in
in several cases, exhausting and painful.
In addition to these evils arising from the
pointed heeled boot. there are vet two.
more. In the first place, the elastic
spring of the arch being broken by the
heel, the vibration produced by its cor
tact with the earth at every step causes
a conclusion which extends along the
whole of the spinal column, and is
sometimes very acutely felt. In the
second place, the expanse of the foot
being limited, the seizure of the earth
by the foot is incomplete both in stand
ing and in walking, so that it becorl
a new art to learn how to stand erect
to walk with safety.

would think it sign of luRacy TO dress
in the December style in May, does moi
appear to see any incongruity in eating
in the December fashion. Food and
coal create heat, and thick clothing and
tight houses preserve it for the comfort
of the body in winter. Yet men who
know enough to dump their furnaces,
open the windows and lay off their over
coats on the advent of spring, are stupid
enough to keep on stolSing their stom-
achs at full blast and consider themselves
q out-of-sorts' and i'll if nature resents
the abuse.
1t is time to let up on the cold-weath-
er diet especially for persons doomed
to live indoors. A mold of well-cooked
oatmeal, served cold with cream and
sugar, with two or three oranges and Q
cup of coffee, makes an adequate and
appetizing breakfast. All fruits and
vegetables obtainable fit in well at this
season. The many preparations Of the
small grains afford a variety which it
is well to study. Milk and eggs and
fish contain all the needed food-ele-
ments for diet Of month or two, with
such sugar and starch as the housewife
combines in toothsome light buildings
or other desserts. Whether we eat to live
or live to eat, we ought to be rational
enough to dispense with food when not
hungry and to tempt rather than force
the appetite. Golden Rxle.
