THE SUPREME COURT.
Who 1t Admits to Practice Before II
and How IL is Done.

| VINO IL Aumits To PRACTICE Before
and How IL Is Done.
The Supreme Court of the United
| States is daily the scene of an event,
which, while not of especial interest to
| the spectators, is OF marked interest TO
the actors. 1t is the introduction of
lawyers from the various States and
Territories to practice before the
| highest judicial tribunal in the land.
A lawyer to be eligible to admittance
must be a member of the Supreme
Court of his own State or Territory
and must be introduced by member of
the United Stated Supreme Court bar
in good standing. As soon as the few
formal words of Introduction are ut
tered by the sponsor the applicant is
directed TO the clerks desk, and there,
in company with any others who may
have been introduced, he is sworn TO
observe the rules and observances of
the court aud to maintain the Constitu-
ton of the United States. Ihe appli-
cant is then conducted to the clerks
room, where he signs his name and adj
dress in "A book kept for the purpose.
and also pays the $40 fee, usually with
crisp $40 bill.
Scarcely day passes that one or
more attorneys are not introduced to
the Supreme Court. Monday, however.
is the day generally selected. Monday
is the day on which the court renders
its decisions. The installations take
place as soon as the last decision is
read, and, as a rule, the last decision
of the day is read by the Chief Justice,
who waits until the other judges have
concluded. The Chief Justice then
bows to the Attorney General, who in
turn bows to the lawyers who have an
nounced their intention of introducing
professional brothers. The sponsors
and the applicants rise and the intro
duction follows.
The Supreme Court Bible is small,
black velvet-covered octave. 1t has
been used in the administration OF
every oath since 1908. Every Chief
Justice and every Associate Justice of
the United States has held this little
sacred tome in taking the oath OF
office. Many thousands OF lawyers
have held it, and to write the names OF
the men who have touched its covers
would be to name the men who have
made the bench and bar OF the United
States illustrious. 1t was printed in
London in 1893, and is to-day but little
the worse of wear.-Cor. Pittsburgh

SLEEPING APPAREL.
Sensible Suggestions for Sufforcrs from
Colds and Kindred Ailments.

| Sensible Suggestions for Sufforcrs from
Colds and Kindred Ailments.
A singular and striking anomaly ir
the habits of present-day people, Is the
great contrast in the amount and kind
of clothing worn during the day and a
night, especially in winter. When the
air is cold and the weather inclement
1t is the general custom to wear gar.
ments of extra thickness and warmth
and to sit around roaring fires. But
on going to bed, in ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred, people pass from tho
warm living-rooms into chilly bed
rooms. As il the sudden change from
extreme heat to excessive cold is moi
sufficiently absurd, they proceed to di-
vest themselves of their several warm
| garments, to garb themselves in thin,
| perhaps linen, night-garments. and to
consign their heated bodies to the cool
ing influence of unsympathetic sheets.
Conventionality has habituated one
to the custom; but really serious con-
temptation of it can not fail to make
the utter absurdity of the custom clear
ly apparent. II thin night-garments
are worn and cold sheets preferred, it
stands to reason that the warmth both
lack should be present in the atmos-
phere. To heat the body and to sud-
denly deprive it of its caloric, is con-
trary both to science and common
sense. Dwellers in foreign countries
almost invariably sleep in flannel gar
ments, and the backwoodsman wraps
himself in a stout woolen blanket, and
defies the elements. They are sensi-
Bile. The human frame should, un-
doubtedly, be clothed in woolen gar
ments, for wool is bad conductor of
heat. Enveloped in flannel, the body
maintains normal temperature, which
is of the greatest Importance.
No sooner does the temperature fall
than the action of the various func-
tions becomes impaired; the nerves got
out OF gear and the whole system SUI
fers disorganization. Who has not, at
some time, felt so cold that it was inn
possible to sleep? That is an example
Of the influence exercised by the blood
on the brain and nervous system. The
question of warmth can not be over
rated.
But let no one run away with tho
idea that the more clothing, and tho
thicker, piled on their beds, the better
for their health. Nothing could be
more absurd, One does not want
weight, nor too great heat. A
healthy temperature can be maintained
by wearing flannel night-suit and
sleeping between blankets, which
should be as regularly cleansed as
those made of other materials. Let
sufferers from chronic colds try this
regime, as well as those afflicted with
sluggish circulation and the accom-
annoyances of cold feet and
other sleep-disturbing Affections. -

dulgent Mothers n Lesson.
On railway train the writer noticed
the entrance of mother and little son
who were unexpectedly greeted by a
friend of the mothers. The friend
was only going from one way station
to the next, while the others were on a
long journey. There happened to be
but one vacant double-seat in the car;
and into this the boy slipped, taking
the seat next to the window. His
mother. eager to improve the ten
minutes with her friend, asked her son
to give up his seat and take another for
that little time, 80 that she could sit
with her friend. mo, won't; because

And in spite of humble entreaty from

The LIGHT was the recipient of a
very pleasant call today from DR.. Max
Urwitz, a representative republican
and citizen of Houston. The DR.. is en-
route to Austin and dropped into the
LIGHT sanctum with some local men,
bers of the party to talk over the
situation. He is thoroughly informed
Of the political situation and is one of
the men whose presence imposes con-
fidence. A fluent onversationalist
and gentleman of urbane and court
eous manners, he impresses one ia
vorably. His recent victory in Hous-
ton, carrying that city for the state
legislature, shows the estimation in
which he is held at home. The LIGHT
had understood that the DIR. was
being urged for the position of consul
in one of the German cities, but no in
timation of the matter was given in
the course of the conversation. The
Dr's. long residence in this state, his
education and his staunch republic
canism, eminently fit him to repre-
sent the Germans of Texas in the old
Fatherland did such an appointm ent
come his way.

Would Force Them to Vote.

Heron by Benjamin franklin Jeffer-

assault and battery by striking him.
Old Ben says he was stopped by a

and asked which way he was going
to vote. He said he was going to vote
for Mr.. French. Then Heller began
abusing him and finally struck him
on the side of his head.

the Garibaldl Political club was form
