M.vvob Paxof.i.'s suggestion that there be a conference of Indiana mayors is a good one and Mayor Denny's amendment that it be held during the session of the Legislature, is also good If the Indiana Legislature passes a good law it is under great pressure, as the majority are usually busy with the corporation lobbyists. It is to be hoped that the mayors will make some impression on the next Legislature.
lioc'KVii.i.K Jounuil: lion. Henry S Lane once told of a (juaek doctor whit used in his practice the bark from a harmless shrub, which he claimed would act either as a cathartic or as an emetic, according to the way it was scraped off—down as a cathartic and up as an emetic. This seems to illustrate the present position of the Demo cratic party on the tariff question just now. The State' Sentinel now claims that sugar is cheaper by reason of the tariff and wool has advanced in price by reason of being made free. Isn't it strange?'
Tub attack of the Anjns-Scirs on the city administration is a little thin iu view of its past record and everybody will recognize in its criticisms merely the over-enthusiasm of a colt new to the party harness. The management of Crawfordsville's municipal affairs lias happily always been looked at as a pure matter of business and has always been in the hands of our leading business men. The majority of the voters including the majority of the business men happen to be Republicans but the c'ty government is not merely a party machine. As to the city electric light plant, the Aryuii-Xacs was one of the original supporters of it and never found a word of criticism for it until itbegan to defend the tariff bill of party perfidy and dishonor."
IirEOKY AX1 FACT.
1 heArnux-Xact denies that the tariff ijucation is one of wages, and backs up its belief that it is not, with the statement tliat a professor of political economy will not assent to our assertion. We add to our previous statefluent, that the tariff question is not only one of wages, but one of work or no work in this coutry. They may be college professors who will not agree •with us. but it will take something besides a professor of political ecouomy to change a fact. We now have in mind a learned and valued professor, now dead, who was inet by a neighbor boy looking for his pigs that had strayed away, lie asked the professor if he had seen any shoats about there and the professor replied that he did not know whether he had or not, that lie didn't know what a shoat was.
Facts are stubborn things as well as pigs, and are often lost sight of by those who do not know them even when in daily contact with them. We cannot buy abroad the manufactured goods we use without cutting off the iabor and wages of those now engaged in the manufacture of like commodities here. No professor of political economy or any other branch will deny ••••this, lest it be the one from whom the
Ar,nix-Sews learns that a decline of cents a bushel on potatoes adds cents per day to a man's wages.
THE IJKADI.V PAKALLKL. The Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations is JJon. Joseph 1). Sayers. of Texas. He made a speech down iu his district the other day and he at tempted to show how suuill the appro priations for pensions had been during the sessiou of Congress just closed. A member of the Committee on Appro priations is Hon. H. V. Brookshire. of Indiana. He also made a speech in his district last 'Saturday and attempted to show how Uinjc the appropria tions for pensions had been during the session of Congress just closed. It depends upon what part of the country you are in whether the appropriations for pensions are Uinjc or tntutll. Helow will be found the remarks of the twi distinguished members of the Appro priations Committee in parallel col umns:
At the first session of the I'lfty-tirstCongress,
"The last vear of Mr. Cleveland's first administration, 1888 the penslou roll amounted to 18(5,000. 000. The last year of Harrison's administration the pension expenditures had In creased to 1120,000,000. The estimates of the Commissioner of pensions under
which was Republican there was appropriated for pensions #1.2:1,770,000. At the first session ot the Fifu-second Coutfrese, the House beIng Democratic, there was appropriated for penslous $lf4,411,000. At the flrpt session of this Congress, the Fif-ty-third, there was appropriated 1151,581,000. I think that when this is contrasted with appropriations ade in former Congresses that yoi will discover thai It is a full appropriation and sutlictent to provide all the old veterans with the substantial comforts of Ufa—
Harrison's adminit tration was $182,000. 000, but theestlmates this fiscal year, unde a Democratic com miastoner, are 8143 000,000, aud it is thDUgbt by contlnu ing the process of weeding out pensions slons l'rom the roll $125,000,000 will pay every honest pension due to the soldierb by go D. Saycr*, Chairman of the CommltUe on Appropriat ivn*.
V. Jironhnhirc, a
mr.mhfrof the committee on appropriation*.
Mr. lirookshire fails to mention the fact that of the $154,411,000 appropri ated by the Fifty-second Congress about §29,000,000 were unused and turned back into the Treasury, whil hundreds of thousands of unadjudi eated claims remained pending in the Pension Kureau. He failed to state the fact while boasting of saving $30,000 000 to the public treasury that it was done at the expense of the slender purses of our disabled heroes, their widows and orphans.

THE SERPENT'S GAZE,
Strange Muscular l'ower That AselsU Them in Fascinating Their Victim*. The power of continuing motionless, with the lifted head projecting forward for an indefinite time, is one of tho most wonderful of the serpent's muscular feats, and is one of the highest importance to the animal, both when fascinating its victim and when mimicking some inanimate object, as, for instance, the stem and bud of an aquatic plant here it is only referred to on account of the effect it produces upon the human mind as enhancing the serpent's strangeness. In this attitude, with the round, unwinking eyes fixed on the beholder's face, the effect may be very curious and uncanny.
Ernest Glanville, a Smith African writer, thus describes his own experience In the Fortnightly Review. When a boy he frequently went out into the bush in quest of game, and on one of these solitary excursions he sat down to rest in the shade of a willow on the bank of a shallow stream sitting there with cheek resting ou his ljand he fell into a boyish reverie. After some time he became aware in a vague way that on the white, sandy bottom of the stream there was stretched a long, black line, which had not been there at first. lie continued for some time regarding it without recognizing what it was, but all at once, with an inward shock, became fully conscious that he was looking at a large snake. ''Presently, without apparent motion, so softly and silently was it done, the snake reared its head above the surface and held it there erect and still, with gleaming eyes fixed on me in question of what I was. It flashed upon me then that it would be a good opportunity to test the power of the human eye on a snake, and I set myself the task of looking it d6wn. It was a foolish effort. The bronze head and sinewy neck, about which the water flowed without a rippje, were as carved in stone, and the cruel, unwiukingeyes, with tho light coming and going in them, appeared to glow the brighter the longer I looked. Gradually there came over me a sensation of sickening fear, which, if I had listened to it, would have left me powerless to move, but with a cry I leaped up, and, seizing a fallen willow branch, attacked the reptile with a species of fury. Probably the idea of the Icanti originated in a similar experience of some native."
The Icanti, it must be explained, is a powerful and malignant being that takes the form of a great serpent and lies at night in some deep, dark pool, and should a man incautiously approach and look down into the water he would be held there by the power of the great gleaming eyes, and finally drawn down against his will, powerless and speechless, to disappear forever in the black depths.
ANGLO-INDIAN WOMEN.
Kipling
There Are Mori Sort* Than Mr. Ha. Introduced to L'H. The Anglo-Indian woman Is a more varied type than ever Mr. Kipling's versatile pen has made her. According to the description of one sojourner in tho land of the Hindoos, says the Kcw York Recorder, the Mrs. Aaukshees are no more common than the women burning for a desire for knowledge and parading views on the education of tho native women. She goes about armed with a notebook in which she dots down the information she receives. She insists upon visiting "Purdah" ladies and gives them advice about tho abolition of child marriage and the necessity for intellectual development for women. She always wears a solar "topoo," with a gauze veil around it, even at afternoon parties, whero everyone blossoms like the rose In gorgeous apparel. She converses with tie nativo butler concerning the status of his people and quotes him largely among tho people who display a shameful indifference on tho subjects which interest her.
The athletic young woman does not flourish to quite tho same degree in India as in Kngland. Tho climate is against it. But a modified form of the athletic girl in tho "man's woman" Is a prominent feature of society. She rides well and has a graceful seat and a pretty figure, but long ridos and long
I walks tire tier. :iie dresses beautifully, whether in tailor-made gowns at the meets, or sheeny ball gowns, or graceful tea robes. It is in these last that she is most herself. In them she manages to seem more cordial, more hospitable, almost more tender than in anything elso.
But the commonest type is the simulated simpleton. She cannot ride her own pony. Sho is afraid of him he once shied and she fell off, but sho thinks she might manage to mount that dear little Arab of Capt. Ward's if ho would tulce her for a shi.rt and very quiet ride. Sho feels the heat dreadfully. Madras is such a trying climate, but she could not possibly undertake the journey to the hills alone. Sho never traveled alone but once, and then her traveling bag and ticket and all her money were stolen by some "horrid native, and Jack was so cross!"
Sho would rather wait until sho could find some manly escort. It if! so much pleasanter to have a man to look after you and your luggage, and sho even shrinks from the caro of herown purse. The simulated simpleton is not so simple as sho seems, and sho has one great advantago over her sisters—a considerable knowledge, innato or acquired, of the weakness of man. Not for her the toil and trouble of daily life.
A Temple Made from a Single Stone. Maj'alipmain, India, has seven of the most remarkable temples in the world, each of these unique places of worship having been fashioned from solid granite bowlders. Some idea of their size and the task of chiseling out the interior may be gleaned from the fact that the smallest of the seven ia twenty-four feet high, seventeen feet long, and twelve feet wide. Travelers who have carefully examined them are of the opinion that it took centuries of work to carve these graceful edifices from native rock.

The Human Electrical Forces!
How They Control the Organs I of the Body.
Tho electrical force of the human body, as the nerve fluid may bo termed. Is aa especially attractive department of science, as It exerts so marked an Influence on the health of the organs ot the body. Nervo forco la produced by the brain and conveyed by moans of the nerves to the various organs o( the body, thussupplying the latterjfltli ilia vitality necessary to Insure their health. Tho pneumogastrlc nerve, as shown here, may be said to be thb most important of the entire nervo system, as it supplies tho heart, luncs, stomach, bowels, etc., with the nerve forco necessary to keep them active and nealthy. As will bo seen by the cut the Ions nerve descending from the baso of the brain and terminating in tho bowels is the pneumogastric, wtiilo tho numorous little branches supply the heart, lungs aud stom-1 aeh with necessary vitality. When tho brain becomes In any way disordered by Irritability exhaustion, the nerve force which It supplies is-lessened, and the organs receiving the diminished supply are consentient ly weakened.
