Hven Jacksonville. Fla.. lias felt the Influence of tin- municipal reform wave that Is swwiiiiit over tin- country. Tin City Council has by a unanimous vote reiiealesl the ordinance pstssed a' year ago permitting prize tights to take place in Jacksonville. The number of crimes justly ascribed of late ti acceptance of life insura,niv policies as collateral for loans indicates that such security should be barred by statute. Conservative finauci.-i-s would not consent to accept it and in some States its acceptance is forbidden. The house of a Louisville police offi cer who kept three watch dons has been roblicd of a considerable amount of money and a uumber of silver spoon. The thieves were not mean enough to steal the dogs too, and the officer Is therefore not utterly cast down. Breakfast hominy of to-day Is a very different food, from the Southern hom iny traditionally associated with, bog rjarlier hominy was true "cracked :orn, hence doubtless com cracker and "cracker." It was cooked gently all night, enriched with butter, sea soned with salt, and served smoking and snow-white. As thus prepared the true Southern hominy is a delicious dish, not especially for breakfast, but "as a vegetable," mo the phrase goes, for dinner it Is sweet, rich, beautiful and wholesome. Investigation of the practices In sonic sjchonls and colleges proves more ant1 nNo how greatly efforts again' . ivi sclA-i. lire needed. Th superir.i'ndent for Oregon stiei , V college of ,ryit State wiy choked a cat to death bef.e his,, ..anient s in order to let them see n.v it struggled In dy ing. He also varnished another cat to prove that the skin wan the third lung. Having been threatened with arrest, this person now kills before he muti lates bis unfortunate subjects, but starves them first for several days. If these practices are not checked, chil dren and young people will be let loose on the community who will be a curse to it Controller Eckels has obtained state ments from a large number of State and private banks. In addition to the official reports which the national banks furnish. As a result he estimates that the total number of depositors in all rlasses of banks reported is 8,l-i:$,t0T, and the total deposits $.,, 481,230. According to these figures nearly one In eight of all the men, women and children in the United States Is a de positor in bank, and the average of de posits is $."5;T per depositor. The num ber is surprising. If the very numerous Impecunious colored ieople of the Southern States, the poor whites In that section, and the great numbers of people In rural districts farther North, who hardl7 know what a bank Is, were left out of the con tit the depositors "probably would, amount to not less than one in six of the rest. Hence con elderalrty more than one person out of every two average families is a de positor of money in bauk and lias a standing account there. , , . , f; " A Vermont fanner who kept close ac count of everything he expended, and also the cost of what he grew, found that he co'uld produce butter at thirteen and one-half cents per pound. It is Just such a calculation, as every farmer ought to make witli regard to his dairy. Then he could know whether he was making; his farming pay. It will also how him the weak places In his man agement and enable him to remedy them. There is altogether too much routine work In farming. It is this that stands In the way of progress. The fanner who gets Into a rut, and therefore cannot change, is reasonably certain to go under tbe mire If he con tinues In the business long enough. It require active thinking to enable a fanner to change the character of his farming so ai to adapt It to changed conditions, but It Is the necessity which all farmers In these days must be pre pared to meet At last It Is known why so many men are anxious to get to Washing ton. The secret has crept out quite ac cidentally, bnt there can be no doubt that It explains the extraordinary de sire of many men to represent the lo calities In which they lire In Congress. The Washington Times gives tbe rea son for Washington's popularity very Ingeniously as follows: " "It has remained for the latter part of the nineteenth century to evolve an other and wholly different method than that usually employed for tbe transmis sion of osculstory favors. This is to have tbe hintter accomplished by tele phone. Tbe Invention Is not, however, patented, and mar upon occasion be w&5I hi other ctrle than Washing tak" The telephonic kiss may not be the ::;ot satisfactory In the market, but it Is only natural Unit the city that lavenU It should become popular. Now that the secret Is out, however, the wives of some of the newly elected Congressman may have their doubts I a- to what causes true pollth-al enthu siasm, and there may be calls for ex planations. Senator I'effer of Kansas Is right on the necessity of a Congressional funeral reform. Live Congressmen isiet the country a pretty ieuny, but dead one cost even more. The government once footed M bill of .i,ihi f-.r the siss ial train w hich bore a d. -ceased Mutcsinan to the I'ai ltlc const. Congressmen who are d - id, but who don't know it, enjoy no such privilege.' IW-.r- the govern ment became so libera! an express coin '.any's frank was utilized io convey a late member from Wushinglou to Tex t's. The average cost of a emigres sioual funeral is Besides this, the decease of a member during bis frm involves incidental exp.-iis.-s. Both houses must adjourn when the fact Is. announced. Ijin-r they have t- set aside another day and quit legis lative Uisiness in order that. eulogies may In- .pronounced. Speaker Ib-cd'c M-t roform Is to liave. Ui.-se culogio. pronounced on Sunday, and be may some day bring It about l'.ut for the present the country' will tie gntiotied with a reform In the matter of funeral expenses and It w!lMsk hopefully to Senator PelTers bill. Th measure pro vldes that when a member dies in the District of Columbia "the house of which he was a member shall appoint a s)ecial committee of Its members to properly prepare and encase the body of the di-it-ased and forward it. in charge of a sergeant at-arms, sMs-ially aplMilnred. to ihe home of the dis eased and deliver it to his family of his re!a lives or friends In case he had no fam lly." The Senator's bill further pro vides that the government shall pay no other expenses attending on the funeral except that mentioned above, and re quires that the chairman of the funeral committee and the Speaker of the House shall certify to the vouchers.

No animal can see la absolutr darknesa. Some little light there must oe. lint cats are able to see with a very, very little. Kverylxsjy must have no tleed the slit-like form of the pupil ol a cat's eytfj. If the animal be placed In broad sun shine or strong artificial light the pupil contracts to a mere line, thereby ex eluding excess of light which would otherwise be painful. If the animal, however, be removed to a situation comparatively dark then the pupil opens to its full si, and the slit-like aspect of It ceases. It Is a point in the comparative anat omy of cats worthy of remark that tht-sllt-lUe pupil does not exist In Un; larger species of the tribe. The lynx has It, but no cat-like animal of much larger dimensions. 1 have seen it stated that the pupil of a cat's eye is so perceptive of variation in the intensity of lightcontracts and expands so regularly that a China man will tell you what the time Is, or thereabouts, not by looking at a watch or clock, as we would do, but by look ing into tbe eye of a cat. Safety from La;htiiin. Persons are seldom killed by lightning In or near large cities. Statistics show conclusively that the safest place dur ing a dangerous thunder storm Is In a large city within balling distance of a lofty building. It Is believed that this Immunity from risk results from the massive Iron and steel frames used In the construction of very lofty office buildings. Modern electricity with Its countless wires has completely driven out the lightning conductor and demon strated Its usefulness. Hut twelve, six teen and twenty-story buildings con structed ou the Iron-frame plan will draw lightning from an luimeuse dis tance. It Is probable these buildings are struck quite frequently, but the Im mense area of the conducting surface and the great depth of the foundations prevents any damage being done, and no one Is the wiser.

Am ut 1:3J yesterday afternoou he wa found lyin ou the marbie floor of hi oilice, seemingly in an unconscious con dition, by Janitor Weiiie. Spares was lying on his face, with his henl in the direction of the door, aad Weine turned him over and ASKed wu it wa the mat ter. "I have teen r bbel," he ex-rlHirned as he pointed to the ca? a dr iwer of his ot-sk, in which several hundred dollars in coin and paper were daily kept for the payment of money oriers. He vim then lifted Iron) the their and helped to a seat, after which Inspector Solomon was notified. S'psrka had two contu sions on the right forehead and; as be sat witii iii pule face, frequently rest ing tils baud upon the bruised tietd, be told a most sensikiioual story. He had retnrnea from lunch and was alone in t'l- ut!i:e, Caster Tucker having gout out for diiinr, when two fairly dressed men euterei, o.e of them asKU2 for change lor ' a live-Jollar bill. ' He told them io go outsids of the railing and he would gel the money for them, but itistead of d ii.g so the fellows grappled with h'm, one of then) s.rik mg him in the forehead withsohiething he could not see, and knocking him to the floor. Thi j then stole ail the cash in the drawer, amounting to fVW.Go. After UiU hasty' account of the alleged assault a very . uieagre description oi th men was secured and police head quarters was notiile,d. .'several detec tives were at once dispatched to the ucetl.9 and the police of the cities were notified to bb ou the lookout for sucli persona. A carriage was called and Hparks was escorted to police head quarters, where he was closely qneg tinned. lie adhered to the first story, but as witnesses were from time to time brought in who told things con trary to the story he gradually legati to get worried. The detectives looked deeply into lus hatita and ai last con fronted him wiUi tin- proof that he had been living a fast life unknown to ins wife. He still held ou t for some time, but it was all over when he was su 1 denly startled by the question from Detective While: 'How mucli are you short in tvr ac counts ?" 'Only a few dollars about 8o.' be replied as a pallor overspread his con , tence. "Oh, come, now, how much is it? Its more that that" "Well, I guees It is about 8150." 'Now, now, tell the truth." Well, I expect it will be about 1300," and with a gasp Sparks sank back in his chair. The postmaster was at one notified by telspnooe and hurried over to head quartets, where he was apprised of the fact that Sparks ha4 confessed, having secreted the money In theoflloe. Sparks 1 1 plained that the bump en his head bad been produced by him falling pur posely ou the marble floor at full length and bumping his head so severely as to bring blood. After he had made a fall confession he was escorted to tbe mociy order office by detectives and in a lot of art folios, between tbe pages, was found in paper money, where It had been secreted by bun. Silver and gold amounting to fj:f)J was also found in his possession and in places where he had secreted it He was then taken back to police head quarters sod locked up to await the action of tbe I'nited Htates authorities. Kbbl by Newaboys. St. Louis, Jan. 4. Newspaper rivalry reached the bloody point last evening, when Manager James Noma of the Post-Dispatch as assaulted and badly beaten by a crowd q newsboys. Ou January 1 the l'ost-Uispa'.ch re duced Its street prioe from 2 cents to 1 cent. The Evening Star Hayings sold for 2 cents and the Evening Chronicle for I cent, enabling the newsboys to sell the three papers for a nlckle. The Post-Dispatch refused papers to tbe boys who continued the nlckle rate and a tight boycott was declared against the paper, so effective that purchasers could not get the paper for a penny. The boycott took tbe aggravating form of a hooting mob of boys in front of the boycotted newspaper office and seriously interfered with its business. Yesterday eyening Manager N'orrii walked out of the office, when he notic ed a boy stealing a bundle of papers from a delivery wagon, lie gave chase aod tbe boy led him from Sixth and Olive streets to an alley on Seventh, near Pine. There be was surrounded by a mob of lift young savages, who literally tore off bis clothing. He wu knocked down, dragged under a wagon beaten and kicked. This all happened In five minutes. Mr. Norris was res cued by policemen and taken to bit hotel. Three leaders of the crowd of boys were arrested. Tbe stealing of papers seems to have been part of a ruse to get Norris Into the ally for punishment. A Trs''7.

The international arbitration society has sent, to Lord Kimberly, secretary of the toreigu oilice a resolution of the committee concern ing the delay In the settlement in Creat Britain's dispute with Venezuela as to the boundaries of British Guiena. The committee directs atteritio.: o the pre sident's reference to the subject in his last message and emphasizes the seri ousness of Great Britain s responsibil ity in tbe matter. After speaking of the society's previous letters on the sub ject the committee's communication, contioues: "We beg the government to state what Venezuelan claims are unsuited to arbitratian. We learn that Vene zuela would willing enter into explan ations likely to lead to a modification of such claims. President Cleveland ni uH have iieeu duly advised when he deliterately suggested that the subject as a whole could be fairly compromised within the terms of amicable arbitra tion." ' The committee expresses approval of Mr. Cleveland's suggestion that the flrf t step toward a settlement, should be an effort to restore diplomatic relations b tween the countries, and prays the government to make friendly advances to this end. Awsaiiiifti4l bj n Armnln. London, Jan. 3. The Morning Post hears from Vienna that Tahein Pasha, governor of Bitlls, has been assassin a'ed by an Armenian, who committed suicide before l.e could be arrested. Letters from Armenia say that the Armeuiai.8 are desperate and ready for almost any kind of violence. It is said that the governor of Kzin recently summoned conspicuous Armenians to warn them of a threatening Kurdish attack and to advise them that tbey must prepare to defend themselves, at he could do little for them. The Ar menians tried to obtain arms, as be ad ised, but found great difficulty In gel ting them. The attack was made, but the result is not known. Turkish offi cials are said to be confiscating letters right and left, so that it Is hardly pos sible to gel unbiased accounts of events in Asia Minor. It was announced of ficially In Constantinople that acting upon information trom an Armenian priest the authorities In Moosti had seized a great quantity of r volution ary literature. Three Armenians who attached tbe informer have been ar rested. Loot m Jawalry Slur. El Paso.
