People generally read advertise
ments more than they did a few
years ago. The reason is to be
found in the advertisements them
selves.
Advertisers are more careful
than they use to be. They make
the advertisements more readable.
Some Of them even become in a
way a department Of the paper, and
people look for them every day
with as much zest and pleasure as
they turn to any other feature.
This is true Of many depart
ment stores all over the country.
In many cities there is just one
man who appreciates the value Of
such interest
He breaks away from the old set
style. He tells something inter-
esting in his space every day.
There are lots Of interesting
things in business. Look over the
miscellany page Of any paper
look at its local news columns, and
its telegraph news, for that mat
ter, and you'll see that the major.

NORMAL SCHOOL.
Tho closing exercises Of the
Silver City Nornal School in this
last Friday, marked a very
important period in The brief his
tory Of that most worthy educa-
tionnl institution. When the
question OF instituting a Normal
School in this city for the training
Of pupils IN the methods Of teach
ing was irHt suggested, It was
passed with unmatured consider
alton by many, others thought IL.
impossible and unnecessary, while
q few Of the more progressive
ones insisted that il should be
done. The wisdom Of the perse-
vering ones is being demonstrated
in q most practical manner. But
a few short years ago the educa-
tional facilities Of New Mexico
we're very insignificant. Being a
new country, composed Of fortune
seekers and mercenary politicians
on one hand, and Indifferent Mex
leans on the other the cause Of ed
ucation was practically ignored.
But these conditions win soon be
known only to history. The Terri
tory is being rapidly settled by a
class Of people whose watchword
is progression. When this new era
dawned we found ourselves with
out competent school teachers
and to overcome this the Normal
School became an absolute neces-
sity. The Silver City Normal is
now in the midst Of its second
year and has an enrolment of 90
pupils, with an average daily at
tendance Of over 80. Three
fourths Of the pupils are fitting
themselves for the profession of
teaching, while the balance are
being equipped for the business
pursuits of life and higher edu-
cation.
In the founding of an institu-
ton Of this character the most
essential thing necessary to its
prosperity and usefulness lies in
securing a man who possesses ed
ucation refinement, executive abil-
ity, and a thorough knowledge of
methods, to preside over its des-
tiny. This matter was gravely
and wisely considered by the board
of regents at its first meeting for
the election Of teachers. PROBES
sor Geo. Selby was selected from
among a large list OF applicants
and the rapidity with which the
institution is ascending to the high
est point attainable in the cause
of education in this Territory, is
ample proof that it always pays to
get the best Prof. Selby has
been very ably assisted in his
work by Prof. Jas. A. Long and
Miss May B. Gaddis, who are
both teachers and disciplinarianl
of marked ability.
1t is a matter of serious regret
that the quarters occupied by the
school are so cramped, but this
we hope will soon be overcome
As soon as congress approves the
territorial appropriation bill thers
viii be ample means with which Il
complete the handsome structure
now awaiting the finishing touch.

The Wonderful Human Fish.

One of the oldest human freaks that
ever saw the light Of day in the United
States or possibly in any other country is
Herman Schedler, who was born at Cleve-
land in 1884 At last accounts the little
fellow was living with his parents on St.
Clair street in the above named city and
was as bright and happy as boys of his age
usually are. Herman has handsome, in
telligent looking face and shapely, sun
burned hands. In fact, to all outward ap-
pearances he is an ordinary boy, but those
who know him best say that the only
parts of his anatomy that are covered with
common human skin are his face, neck,
hands and feet and that the other portions
of his body are literally incased in tiny
dark blue fish scales. From the neck to
the ankles this wonderful coat of mail so
thoroughly covers the body that not the
slightest section Of skin bearing any
semblance to that Of the human being is
visible.
The family were perfectly horror striok-
on when the little fish baby" was born,
and for more than seven years managed to
keep the matter profound secret How
ever, little Hermans playmates finally
learned that their companion was veri-
table fish. This soon leaked out, and the
matter became public. understand that
doctors and professors who have recently
examined tho boy are unanimous in pro-
nouncing him to be the "eighth wonder
