OF
cldlty OF mind. A man may be poor, he
may be in jail, but if his stomach-that
IS, the outside of his waistcoat-is free
from wrinkles, his mind is uutroubled.
You must bend over a great deal if you're
SAD. One of the ablest Persian poets
wrote many years ago, An angry hypo-
critic trOwns with his stomach. ; and later
he said, If a mans brow be smooth, look
at his vest. The pit of the stomarch is
the mirror of the nina
The feeblest mind will at once choose
Senator Smith as the prize winner of to-
day: In that calm expanse, in those
CHUBBY hands, in that heavy. double
watch chain and the prettily curled fin
gers mewling babe could read the heart
at peace and the brow without a wrinkle.

Senator Lindsay starts out very we'll;
but he caves in at the critical point. The
strain on his vest buttons is not even. No
man can claim first prize or even honor
able mention as mountain of peace IN
less mis- vest buttons share the strain
alike. The excuse offered by Lindsays
admirers is that he is so much taller than
Smith, and that it is harder for him to
keep smooth all the way up but that is
no excuse. He is failure, and Senator
Smith beats him
Senators Sherman and PETER cave in
more than any other two senator's They
are properly proud of that fact II is a
good sign for q stomach to cave in after a
certain age is passed. 1t indicates that
the head above is bullying out. When the
stomach expands the brain contracts

man is inferior as CAVERN to Senator
PETER, but it is proba BILE that they are a
tie. Senator Sherman keeps his coat
buttOned, which gives him a disadVan-
tage of one-ninth of an inch Senator
PETER has waistcoaUs that rumple up into
human faces, and make regular little pro-
files all up and down his front, but if he
does cave in more than the great Sher-
man the difference is so small that the
prize should be divided. Senator PETER
wears clothes of such thin material, al
paca being the thickest, that he has an
additional advantage in that respect.
Senator Sherman has a much better
chest than Senator PETER. Senator Sher-
mans chest is more than thirty-two
inches around.
Senator Chandler has an irriting stom-
ach. 1t has no particular shape, and, be-
sides Mr.. Chandler is lover on his
knees" That defect is as bad in a man
as in horse. although it does not take as
much from its value.
Senator Cockrell is in the Chandler
class. He delights to bend over to ex-
press his rage, and he waves with his en-
tire body as most men do with their
arms. He must have abdominal muscles
like those that Sandow exhibits.
Hill cares nothing about his stomach,
He feeds it on milk and trash-gives it
about ten minutes for refreshments three
times day and never gives it anything
strong to drink. Under the circumstances
1t is. of course, a characterless stomach.
1t looks and is tired. 1t has no more ex-
preston than starved child in a tene-
ment--an expression of misery, and
| that's all Mr.. Hill uses it mainly
| as a support for his thumbs when
he begins a speech. If Mr.. Hill could
have head to think and make speeches
fastened to legs capable of taking him out
| to base'ball games he would be only too
happy to dispense with a stomach en-
| tirely.
senator Vest has a negligee middle
which he takes little care of. 1t started
out TO be something, but lost heart, ana is
now called The stunted child of the Sen
ate; or, what might have been" Mr.
Vest doesn't seem to take any pride in
it. He is disguised with it.
THE case is very different with Mr.
Brice CT New York finance and Ohio pol
itics He dresses the front of himself
and all the rest of himself with great
care. Personal attention to himself oc-
cupies many of his best thoughts. Some
times in the Senate be attends to the i'm
portant labor of manicuring. and at inter-
walls, as regular as the speeches by
Palmer, he pulls his fine white waistcoat
into shape.
MIR. Mcmillan of Michigan has fine
yacht, and he is made up to fit that yacht
He wears no waistcoat, has big, fierce
belt, anchors his tie to his shirt so thatit
may not blow away when he is at sea-in
or out of the Seuate-and he keeps his
hands in the pockets of his short coat. as
the Prince of Wales always does on board
the Britannia Every body likes Mr.. Nc
MILAN here, but his kindest friends ad-
nit that his stomach has but little eX-
| preston.
Senator Squires has all the signs of an
active member of the world of sport,
| whether taken at either end or in the
middle. Mr.. Mccarthy has put on paper
most of the worlds great men, but has
| rarely immortalized any with so Uniform
a sporting makeup.
Senator Mills, like Senator Vest, neg
| lecUs his stomach dreadfully. He fastens
a little artificial summer waistcoat on it.
one of these little foolish vests that are
like bel.s. He puts his watch in that i'm
itation vest and thinks that he does a
good thing, He is a fine, big man, and
ought to be as straight as his principles,
but he is not. He lets his shoulders tall
forward as he stands, and his foolish vest
spoils what might have been fine middle
of a fine man.
WHAT he SAYS ABOUT FEET.
There is not quite so much expression
in feet as in faces, although everybody
knows that a baby's feet can talk long be-
fore the baby's head shows any sign of
intelligence. But whoever doubts the in
tellectual Importance of feet is no OBJ
server.
The best feet in the Senate are John
Sherman's feet. They are long and thin,
which proves intellect; they have good
insteps, which Indicate breeding; they
are shod well and comfortably at the
same time. which shows common sense
and self-respect
Senator Palmer's feet are beautiful to
contemplate. He wraps them up in such
footgear as old ladies used TO wear twenty
five years ago His shoes are made of
cloth a sort of delicate horse hair, with
little patent-leather tips on the toes The
soles are scarcely an eighth of an inch
thick Around the ankle his foot clothing,
which can hardly be classed either as
boots or shoes, falls into charming little
wrinkles The bottoms OF his trousers,
drawn upward by much wrinkling of the
knees, makes the artists work easy and
