make n quiet city, says correspond
ent Of the Chicago Record-IIerald.
Railway engines are not allowed to
blow whistles or ring bells within the
city limits. Manufacturing establish

women or men with collections Of dai-
ly, weekly and Illustrated papers at
certain conspicuous locations. but they
must remain there. They are not al

and after 10 o'clock at night where it
is likely to disturb neighbors.

Good Hotel a Town Boomer.

A drummer for a New York house
who has been on the road for twenty
years gives it as his opinion that a
good hotel in a small town has more to
do with booming the place than any
other one influence. The town may be
ever so lively, but "A poorly conducted
hotel makes bad impression on stran-
gers. During the boom days in the
south the citizens of a town looked TO
their hotels before anything else.

ShOddy Boots.

Boots and shoes in England have
been subject t. Il very considerable fall
in prices of late years. Partly this is
owing TO the use of machinery. partly
to the employment of lads where men
used to do the work, partly to the use
of what was formerly waste material
and partly to sheer dOdgcry and trick
cry. Mems lace boots are now to be
bought for Is I'D. They are made of
leather. too and to look at them you
might think it genuine enough.
The truth is. however, the uppcrs are
made of what are known as center
splits" and the Solcs are All artificial
compound of leather waste. The "cen.
ter splits" are very ingenious forms of
shoddy Good. honest skins are cum
ningly split into three thicknesseS. The
center sheet is soft and SpOngy and
has no natural grain upon it. But this
defect in its appearance is supplied by
a process of printing which produces

inexperienced eye, just like ordinary
leather. 1t is then made up into boots
that give every promise of good service.

prohibition Of religious or sectarian in
struct1on as to assume that on that &C.
count they were debarred from throwing
the weight of their words and example
on the side of good morals in their inter-
course with the children, it is high time
for them to be undeceived; for there is not
the slightest reason or sense in that view
of the matter, and as teachers they are
a failure If they neglect that phase of
their calling. .....a
In his address Supt Skinner quoted
from the school laws of several states to
show that the duty of instruction in NOR
ais belongs to the schools. The law of
Maine says: Every public and private
institution for instruction in this state
shall use their best endeavors to impress
upon the minds Of the children and youth
committed to their care and instru ction
the principles Of morality and justice, and
sacred regard for truth, love of country,
humanity, and universal benevolence,
sobriety, industry and frugality, chastity,
moderation and temperance, and all other
virtues which ornament human society"
The laws Of Oregon require and the state
board entoins teachers ITO the utmost Of
their ability to inculcate in the minds Of
their pupils correct principles Of morality
and particular regard for the laws Of
society, and for the government under
which we live Similar quotations might
be made from the laws of other states,
all tending to show that the functions
of the teachers embrace something more
than instruction In the arts and sciences.
Our public school system aims to make
of the youth Of the land good citizens.
That is the reason for it's being. Without
q moral foundation to character there is
no such thing as good citizenship. Hence
the pupils In our schools should be trained
In morality as well as in reading, arith-
metic, geography or any other study. More
than that, "a person whose life is immoral

WOODBURY., N. j., july /.-George
w. Lewis, aged forty-seven, IS dead at
Cross Keys. Mr.. Lewis was known as
the man turning to stone," and has been
a great sufferer for fifteen years. The
case has baff1ed the ablest physicians in
this state and Pennsylvania.
Prior to nine years ago Lewis was fire.
quently Ill. but from appearances there
was no particular ailment. Then he found
was with difficulty that he could move
them. This stiffness moved up his arms
and soon from the elbows down the flesh
hardened until tie arms were useless The
skin was drawn tight and his hands be-
came like marble. The prick of a needle
was not felt neither did blood flow from
a cut. The flesh was nearly white with
a marble cast.
Four years ago his feet and lower limbs
skin on his face was drawn and he fire.
quently said he felt he was gradually
turning to stone.
Years ago he was an inveterate smoker
and he always thought this was the cause
of his trouble.
There was another remarkable seatura
The victim got very little sleep. He did
not seem to need it. Weeks passed at a
time when he did not close his eyes.
During the day his attention was occu-
pied by events that came to his notice at
go with much effort, but at night he sat
up and read. He ate as little as he slept
Seldom was he hungry, and he went for
days at a time without food.
Several trips were made to hospitals
where he was told there was no hope.
Mr.. Lewis mind was not affected He
was a ready ta1ker and was well read.
