Keep the Body Warm.

There is but one way to keep the body
healthfully warm, and that is to
wear sufficient clothing, dressing diff
ferently as the weather changes. On
cold, rainy days one requires thicker
clothing than when the sun pours down
hot and sultry. It is popular idea in
this country that, if we wear specially
warm clothing in the house, our listers
and great-coats will afford us no extra
protection when we get out. But this is
dsproved by every ones experience, if
people will only think of the facts which
have come within their own observation.
Most persons must have noticed that,
after sitting in theater which is INSULT
GENTLY heated, and getting chilled to a
greater or less degree, the putting on Of
coats and cloaks when going out seems
to have no effect, and the chill which re-
mains is apt to result in severe cold.
On the other hand, if an overcoat is kept
on in cold theater, so that the wearer
feels comfortable, his warmth continues
after he goes out, and the change of
temperature does not bring the expected
effect, notwithstanding that no addition
is made to his dlothing. Such an expe-
rience as this should convince us that
the wearing of clothing made especially
for warmth should not be confined to
the open air, but that the indoor
draughts and occasional chilliness, to
which every one is more or less subject,
should be provided against by always
wearing warm clothing, i'll the form
either Of an extra suit of fannels, or of.
an overcoat or dressing gown.

: Political Assessments

i The minority report of the Wallace

half Of the republican minority, criticising the
bill recommended by the majority of the COM
mittee. After quoting its full text they say;
This is, in short, a proposition to prohibit any
employee or person holding Office under the
government of the United States from contri-
buting money or other things of value for
political purposes, either with reference to
national political questions or those of States.

penses OF political meetings. This class OF
citizens cannot contribute money to form and
support political club or society for the dis.
semination Of the, most wholesome political
tenents concerning the rights of man. The
establishment and support of reading room
stocked with political works would be crime
and must be treated In the same way as the
contribution of money to corrupt voters and
destroy the purity Of the ballot. Why should
this class of citizens be deprived of the privil-
eye conceded to all others? Is there more
danger in the contributions of men in Office
than from those who are trying to get there?
This bill Is indefensible on any principle. 1t

When @Pitman George" had become
"Old George" to his friends, and "Mr.
George Stephenson" the great railroad
engineer, to the public, he was noted for
his plainness in dress.
Though often in contact with Lords
and Dukes, he fastened his white neck
tie with large brass pin, and wore no
ornament-watch-chain, breast-pin or
ring.
Mr.. Stephenson hated foppery in
young men-"peacock fnery," he called
it-as one youth learned to his sorrow.
He was "Old Georges" private secre-
tary, and loved to dress in snowy
style, though, when in the old mans
presence, he restrained his propensity.
But one unlucky day, intending to take
a stroll with two "swell" friends,
through. the fashionable quarter of
London, he dressed himself as dandy.
His costume was patent-leather boots,
light-colored trousers, and a tightly
buttoned coat of blue cloth, within
which was seen line of white vest,
with pink shade under it; white wrist
bands turned back six inches over the
coat-sleeves, q black satin scarf, from
which glistened two diamond breast
pins, connected by delicate gold chain,
light gloves. and a shiny silk hat and
small cane.
As be was saunteling through the
street, filed with promenade1s, who
should he meet but "Old George!" The
two friends left, but Mr.. Stephenson,
taking his secretary by the button,
turned him round and round, as if
showing him off to the passers-by.
A crowd collected. At last, releasing
the youth, cold George" blurted out,
in his strongest Northumbrian accent:
Young man, you have lived five
years at my house, but I never knew
was harboring an American jackadaw."
What an @American jackadaw" was
the youth knew not, save that it was
something indicative of contempt. OF
course he was mad, but as his en-
ployer never referred to the ~sight" he
was wise enough to remain silent. It
worked, however, a change in his @pea-
cock fnery."

Louisiana Moss.

Louisiana moss is gathered most
~ by negroes, and after tree is
stripped it is allowed to rest for seven
years, during which time the moss re-
news itself. Cypress moss is preferred,
as tits the longest and most tenacious OF
1.-The varieties. After the moss is gath
cred, it is placed in sunny spot and
left to the action Of the wind and
weather for month. At the end of
that time the grayish bark peals off,
leaving the hair almost clean. tits then
sold to the plantation storekeeper orcoun-
tryg roceryman, whopaysfrom 1to2cents
apound for it, according to quality. The
next move is tosend the material to New
Orleans to manufacture. After the moss
reaches the factory it is subjected to the
action Of the washer, which is large
cylindrical arrangement with a wheel
inside, which pulls the moss hither and
thither and lashes it through vat of
boiling water and soap, until the stuff is
cleaned. Then it is hung out upon the
rocks to dry. This done. it is put into
a buster, 8 tan mill which entirely re-
moves all the dust which may have sur
yived the washing process. As a result,
the moss comes into the factory yellow
IN color, and goes out inky black. The
article Is then made up into bales and
marked according to quality. The high.
est grade can hardly be distinguished
from the finest horse hair. ssz, =Slfs5

Choate's Irony.

Mr.. E. P. Whipple told in Harpey's
Magazine, several anecdotes of Rufus
Choate's wit and irony
Nobody at the bar ever equaled him
in paying ironical compliments to the
Judges who blocked his way to the
hearts and understandings of iuries.
Judge Shaw was specially noted for the
gruff way in which he interposed such
obstacles, and Shaw's depth of legal
earning was not more conspicuous than
his force of character.
"'Tisnt SO, Mr.. Choate," was fire.
quent interruption, when Shaw was on
the bench and Choate was arguing
case before him.
Choate's side-remarks on the Judge
have passed into the stereotyped jokes
of the bar, and are now somewhat ven
cradle. One is, I think, not commonly
stated in the exact words.
r., I always approach Judge Shaw" he
said, "as savage approaches his fetish,
knowing that he is ugly, but feeling
that he is great"
OF Judge Story he once remarked {:
Il never heard him pronounce iudg-
ment in which he did not argue the
case better than the counsel on either
side; and for which," he added, with q
twinkle in his eye, che might very prop
erly have been impeached."
He delighted in gravely joking with
Judge. Thus he once asked that a
case might be postponed, owing to his
engagement in another court. The
Judge replied that the case was one in
which he might write out his argument.
With a mock solemnity, which it al
ways seemed to me no other human
countenance could SO readily assume, he
replied:
II write well, your Honor, but
slo1vly."
As his handwriting resembled the
tracks OF wildcats, with their claws
dipped in ink, madly dashing over the
surface of a folio sheet of white paper,
the assembled bar could not restrain
their laughter.
Indeed, it is affirmed that he could
not decipher his own handwriting after
case was concluded, and had to call in
experts to explain it to himself. He
congratulated himself on the fact that,
if he failed to get living at the bar, he
could still go to China and support him
self by his pen; that is, by decorating
tea-chests.
