Iowa Prisoners Decrease.

Is Iowa becoming better or worse,
morally? The question seems to be an
svered by the records Of the penal and re-
formatory institutions. When the Board of
Control took possession of the institutions
ten years ago, the number of prisoners
in the two prisons was I,I52. Since then
one has been converted into a reformatory,
and today the total population OF the two
is only SIS. Members Of the Board of Con-
troll declare that this reduction in popula-
ton is not due in any sense to the fact
that the prisons are less desirable as places
OF permanent residence, on the contrary,
board and clothing has been greatly i'm
proved. But the fact remains that the
prison population has been for ten years
steadily declining. The record also shows.
however, that the effect Of the Indetermi-
nate sentence law now in force is to
lengthen the average terms OF the persons
committed, and in time this will aid in
filling up the places. The population at the
boys reformatory, has also decreased in
the ten years from 46 to S6 or exactly 100.
There has been a slight gain in the popu-
lation at the girls reformatory. due TO the
fact that ten years ago that institution was
notable chiefly for the fact thai escapes
were very common and there was no disci-
pline. In the same period, however, the
total population of all the institutions, in
GLIDING the insane hospitals and deaf and
blind schools, has increased from 6,Osl TO
$3.50 or substantially 2,6O.

RefOrmatory Methods.
Superintendent II. s.. Miner of the Inebri-
ate hospital at Knoxville, enters a protest
to the State Board of Control regarding
some methods in operation with respect to
that institution. He says in his report to
the board:
l wish to enter a protest against the too
common occurrence of a commitment to
being made as a compromise In
stead Of the more natural or just sentence
OF, the court. Some cases arrested for
choosing a commitment to Knoxville as
their penalty.
He recommends a new reformatory build
ing, where men may be held in c%onfine-
ment and not permitted to escape as now.
He also the purchase of ten
acres of land, with a high board fence
about 1t containing a rock pile. where

Mr.. Miner believes work is the cure for

Why a Cat Iiqhts or It's Feet,

Why cats when dropped from height light on their feet nine times out of ten is one of the smaller prob lens that from time to time attract the attention of a certain type of sci entists. Some years ago learned men in Paris gravely studied the phenom. ena, even hau a lot of films taken of a cat falling from great height. These showed that as soon as puss began to fall a curious turning movement of the hind-quarters began, and just be- fore she touched ground she was right side np.
 A German professor went his fellow scientists one better and proved a cat in falling changed it's center of gravi- ty by rotary twists of the tail The professor further o5served that these twists were the reverse of those of the rest of the body. So convinced was he of this fact that he fixed a movable tail to operate by ciockwork on a dum- my cat and To, behold. the dummy cat when wound up and set in motion fell on it's feet every time like a sure enough cat. Aeroplanist, consider tEs cats tail and perhaps save your lifo

CLOTHES.

Mere man has been consistently and
 earnestly poking fun at woman be- cause of the vagaries which fashion has imposed upon her. Latterly, this has been more marked. perhaps, than in the olden days when the funny fel- lows who write paragraphs, figurative- ly, wore out the hoopskirts and the big balloon sleeves. Of late much merry laughter has been expended over the woman of the patella shape and the peach basket headgear. It is thoroughly convulsing, says the Pitts burg Post. Woman is such a queer sight, logged out to represent an anil mated mushroom. But what of a man and his attire? Is the laugh to be on one corner of the mouth? Does not the shoe on the other foot pinch a little? Those strange shoes of the emerald hue. And what of all the other green things he dons that give him the appearance of a string bean at little distance, if he chances to be Of lean and hungry build? Consider for a moment the "swell-dresser" who swings up the avenue, his sack coat extending to the region of the patella, two or three buttons the fraction of an inch apart, holding it together, the trousers, turned half way to the knee, as though reaching inward tO meet
