THE VIRGINIA sENAroRsH1p
Innovation in Selection by Legislature
Chosen by Popular Vote

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, February 3-Eor
the first time in the history of the state
OF Virginia, the United States senator to
be elected at the coming session Of the
legislature will practically be chosen bv
popular vote.
The legislature will elect him. of course
but its action will be in the nature of a
formal and legal ratification of the choice
of the people, as expressed at the legisla-
tive primary.
The election of United States senator
will, therefore, to all intents and purposes.
occur in Virginia during next August, and
little interest will attach to the action of
the legislature.
This result is to be brought about under
the democratic party plan, whereby the old
form of state convention is abolished
and a primary election settles the peoples
choice of legislators state officers. incIud-
ing the governor, and at which the people
may also register their choice for United
States senator. The legislators being
bound by the result of the primary must
vote for the senatorial candidate indorsed
by their constituents.
This is regarded as signal victory for
the progressive element in the democratic
party, who have long favored the direct
vote for United States senator as against
the old rule.

Walk of WOodsman and of Indian

A wcodSman walks with a rolling mo-
ton, his hips swaying an inch Or more
to the stepping side, and his pace is cor
respondingly long. This hip action may
be noticed to an exaggerated degree in
the stride CT professional pedestrian :;
but the latter walks with heel and toe
step, whereas an Indians or sailors step
is more nearly flat-footed.
In the latter case the center of gravity
is covered by the whole foot. The poise
is as secure Is that of a rope walker
The toes are pointed straight forward, or
even tri1e inward, so that the inside Of
the heel the outside of the ball of the
foot, and the smaller toes, all do their
share of work and assist in balancing
Walking in the woods in this manner
one is not SO likely, either, to trip ever
projecting roots, stones and ether traps
as he would be if the feet formed hooks
by pointing outward. The advantage is
obvious in sn0wshOeing.
If the Indian were turned to stone
while in the act Of stepping the statue
would probably stand balanced on one
foot This gait gives the limbs great
control over his movements. He is al
ways poised. If a stick cracks under
him it is because of his weight, and not
10y reason Of the impact. He goes silent

His steady balance enables him to put
his moving foot down as gently as you

were captured while a cricket net was
being unrolled. -Four or five bushels of
oats in a bag were appropriated by the
mice in a night. A local we'll ceased to
yield water. and on examination it was
found to contain a solid mass several
feet deep of dead vermin. Food, water,
