Shoes of Human Hide.

The result of curious experiment
recently made by two Southside shoe
makers has just come to light. The
men worked in the same shop. and
one day they INDUCED in speculations
regarding the utility of human skin
III the manufacture of boots and shoes.
Both were of the opinion that it
would answer the purpose. Arrange
mentS were made with college of
physicians in Philadelphia, and they
secured the skin from the stomach
and back of man who had died sud-
denly from an accident, and upon
whose remains corruption had not
taken hold. The skin was put into a
PREPARATION of hemlock and oak barks,
such as is used in the ordinary pro-
cess of tanning, and III about ten days
1t was in "A condition to be turned into
the uppers and legs of pair of boots.
The process of tanning changed its
color TO light brown. 1t was more
porous than calfskin. The skin was
duly made into a pair of boots, the
Soles being made of ordinary leather.
They proved to be warmer than boots
made from the skin of calf, and it is
believed they will be every bit as SER
ylCeable.
The experiment proved that the
skin Of man of average size would
furnish sufficient material for two
pairs Of boots, including the soles.
The sOles from human skin, however,
would not be likely to prove SerVicea-
Die for ever day wear, though they
may be Wei adapted for use in dane

10 Mr. Moody. An imprisoned and
eloquent portion of his sermon was
interrupted by the loud crying of an
infant. Mr.. Moody paused, and,
turning to those sitting near him, en-
tered into conversation with them.
The mother soon succeeded in quiet
inc the child, when Mr.. Moody with a
cheerful expression of countenance
resumed but not more than five min
utes elapsed before louder wall was
heard Mr.. Moody again paused, and
again entered into conversation until
t6e mother a second time succeeded in
quieting her child. In the course of
few minutes, however, the baby's
voice was heard for third time, the
mother and father simultaneously ris-
ing. with the evident intention to de-
part. That seemed an almost hope
less undertaking, for they were seated
in the center of the immense audi
ence. The parents succeeded, how
ever. in reaching the middle aisle.
Mr.. Moody, meanwhile, stood encour-
aging them with benignant smile.
Their nearest way out was by a side
door. There was almost breathleSs
silence as they passed down the mid
die aisle. When near the preacher he
exclaimed: "God bless that mother.
| wish there were many more
Christian mothers possessing the
courage to bring their infants to
church when they cannot leave them
safely at home" The effect was cleo
trical. a sense of relief was felt
throughout the house. That mothers
heart was not the only one that
thanked Mr.. Moody for seasonable
manifestation of sense and sympathy,
which did equal credit to his head and
heart.
