A Notable Gavel.

When Senator Manderso1, who is
President pro TEN Of the Senate, pre-
sides over the deliberations OF that body,
be can WELD eavel which has perhaps
as much historic interest to the square
inch as any similar implement of the
kind. 1t was presented to him recently
by a committee appointed at a meeting
of the Nineteenth Regiment, Ohio In
fantry Association, held in Detroit in
August last. In carrying out their ln-
structions the committee had the gavel
made OF woods from the prominent bat
tlefelds where the regiment, led By their
commander, General Manderson, par
ticipated in the conflict between the
North and the South. The handle, made
of cherry, bears the name OF Rich Noun
tain, which was one OF the first battles
fought in West Viryinil. On the other
woods forming tue gavel are the names
of Shiloh, Jonesb1ro, Stone River,
Rocky Face, Pickett's Mills, Ksnesaw
Mountain, Mission Ridge and Lovejoy's
Station. Senator ManderSon, in ac-
kuowledging this gift, states that he
will place it by the side of the brace Of
pistols that were presented to him by the
members of his regiment after the dei-
perate battle of Stone River.
This gift is intended as an expression
on tie part of the comrades of General
Mauderson not only OF their affection for
him, but also Tor their appreciation of
the honors which have come to him in
his public career.-Washington Star.

The Warmth Not In The Clothes.

II is a mistake to suppose there is any
warmth in clothes. Animal heat is the
direct result of changes going on within
the body itself. Nutrition by food and
the discharge of energy by exercise are
the efficient causes Of heat. Clothes
"seem' good and warm because they
prevent the cold air aud objects with a
capacity for heat which surround the
body from attracting TIE heat generated
with its organism. The clothing is sim.
ply an insulator. 1t follows that it
should be light in weight, aud above all
things that it should permit free and full
circulation OF blood through every part
of the system-to the end of finger aud
toe-and that the muscular apparatus Of
the extremities should be in perfect work
ing order. Ii we will wear foot cover.
ings, whether boots or stockings, which
compress the feet and render the separate
action of each toe impossible, it is simply
absurd to expect to be warm-footed.
Heat is the complement of work aud
putrition, and il part of the organism
is so bound that it cannot work aud its
supply of food is limited it must be cold.
The resort to stouter and heavier cloth.
ing under such circumstances is simply
ridiculous. Generally it is the stocking
that compresses the feet. The garter
acts as a ligature and diminishes the
blood supply, while the stocking itself
acts as bandage and impedes the circu.
lation throughout the extremitles. DE.
