THE SEW SCHOOL BOOK LAW.

Indiana School Journal. In another place in this issue of the Journal will be found the full text ol the new school book law. Every one wi.l read it tAictny because of its universal interest,, and because of its possibilities, probabilities, and uncertain! es. T e great central purpose of the law is cheapness of book®.-' A secondary one is uniformity of books, but this was not much considered by ihe legislature. Since the passage of the law it is being widely discussed, and a great variety of opiniona are expressed. The law will not go into affect, until all the laws are printed and the Governor issues his proclamation, which will be about June 1. After the law takes effect the State Board of Education has to meet w.thin thirty days and advertise for bids, and then these advertisements have to run 21 days. After the bids are in, the great work for the State Board begins. To examine and compare and make a wise selection_involves a vast deal of labor and imposes a great responsibility, and of course cannot be done in haste. Besides, the members of the State Board are all persons holding other responsible positions that cannot be neglected, and their State Board duties must be done piecemeal as time can be secured. After the contract is awarded the publisher must have time to make ready and deliver his books. If all parties concerned consume all the ume that the law allows it will take about ten months to make the books reach the children; and if all parties shall make all the haste possible, or probable, it seems absolutely impossibly for the books to be reaay by the opening of next school Vear. The probable time at which the books can be ready ur use is not far from the middle of next school year. Inasmuch as it would be a -great wrong to the children to allow them to pur chase books at the beginning of the school year and then throw them aside and buy —others without completing them, the strong probability is that the Etale Board wid recommend that the new books go into use at the opening of the school year, beginning September, 1890, or one year from next September. The advantages of the law are the two name 1 above, cheapness and uniformity. The disadvantages are: 1. The value of the school books now in the hands, of . the children is estimated to be nearly |l,libo,ooo. These become comparatively worthless, except in so far as they may be re adopted. 2. The very low prices fixed render it probable that the nest books will not be offered, and thus quality will be sacrificed to price. 3. The law requires a bond of 150,000 that the bidder wdl enter into contract in accordance with his bid, bat it does not require any bond that he will faithfully carry out his contract when entered into. 4. As the contract is made by the State Board and the books are shipped direct to the ninety-two coiinly siipuxintendents, there is ample room and great temptation for the contractor to let the quality of material used degenerate lar below the standard agreed upon. 5. The law makes the trustee the custodian of the books. Hence, if a child wants a book—even a 5 ct. copy book—he must make atrip to the trustee’s book store, which may be in an extreme part of the township. The trustee may arrange to have books at the school houses a< d make the teachers his clerks at, the opening of school, but can hardly afford to leave them there, as he is personally responsible for their safe keeping. 6. The adoption of new text-boo-s will involve new courses of study, new manuals, new instructions to teachers, etc., all of which means time and expense. 7. While uniformity is secured, there is lost the privilege of selecting books adapted co different Realities-- the city and the country must-, use the same. 8. The cost of distributing these books and getting them into the hands of the children is likely to be much greater than the authors of the law anticipated. As the county superintendent is made personally responsible for all books he will have to receive all booksand verify all bills, and this means that he must have a storage room. His correspondence will be greatly increased with publishers, trustees and teachers, and his book-keeping duties will be quite heavy. (And all this in the face of tne fact that in many counties the superintendent has to furnish his own office, if he has any, and pay all his own postage and stationery bills; and in the face of the other fact that the late legislature killed a bill which proposed to provide an office for the superintendent.) In addition to the largely increased duties of the county superintendent, the trustees must add many days’ service to what is now required of them, in order to discharge well all the increased duties imposed by this law. When the loss of old books is taken into consideration. and the largely increased pay of ninety-two superintendents and over a thousand township trustees is added, there is serious doubt as to whether there is really much saving to the people in the actual cost of books, even at the prices named. 9. In the larger cities and towns, trustees, in order to accommodate the children with books, will have to open regular book stores, unless each school house is made a store bouse, and each teacher a book-seller, and each township trustee must keep a stock of books ana provide for their rale. IP. There is a difference of opinion as to whether the law is compulsory as to the use of the books selected. One view is that the law is mandatory, and that the contractor can compel the school officers to ore the adopted books. The other is that the purpose of the law Is to supply cheap books for the benefit of the people, and not for the benefit of the publishers, and that if other books more desirable can be had, the school authorities are at liberty to take them. It is afftted that there is no penalty affixed foriflot using the books, and that if the trustees of a county should refuse to carry out this law, they could not be compelled to do so. * % 11. Section ten, of the law, is simply nonsense as it stands. It requires tne county superintendent to bring suit on his own bond in case he fails to do his duty in accordance with the law. Whether the law will prove satisfactory or not must be left to the future The great fear is that the beet bookt will not be offered at the low nricee

fixed. If satisfactory books can be secured, doubtless, after the first year or two, there be some saving on the cost of books, but the question arises, has the State a right to interfere in any kind of trade for the sake Of saving the people a little money? If# so, why not provide for cheap clothing and, cheap shoes as well? The great, natural law that should govern all prices is free, open competition. When the State has secured this condition it has done its full ditty.

It is called the “Celibacy Assurance Society,” its object being to provide for women who can’t or won’t marry, Premiums begin at the age of thirteen and end at fortj. At the latter age an unmarried woman receives an annuity for life. If she marries at any time after taking out a policy, she forfeits all claims on the society. The profits of the society are expeced to be enough to provide well for members who never marry. According to the Pall Mall Gazette Captain Ingram, who was recently killed by an elephant in South Africa, sometimes before his death unwound the cere cloth of an Egyptian mummy. Inside he discovered a tablet which, being translated, was found to prophesy that the person who profaned the clothes would die a violent-death within threemonths of his sacrilegious act and his bones be scattered to the wind. Within the prescribed time the threat or prophesy came true. Captain Ingram was killed in South Africa, and only his thigh bone remained to attest his fate. The sale of amber beads for medical purposes is as old as Europe. Amber put upon a baby’s neck has always been a sure preventive of bronchial ■Weiraffians may beToois, but we cling to a great many ideas like ttat. We wear horseshoe pins to bring us luck, carry horse chestnuts in our pockets to guard us against the rheumatism, lock arms on the streets to prevent the Evil One from passing between ®s to leave quarrels in his place, carry coins that we have found in order that we may find more, and cling to a score of other nonsensical practices in which we have faith and find joy. I am frequently asked, says a physician, to explain why pneumonia usually strikes the healthy, robust person more often than it does the weak, thin people. The cause is a very simple one. As a general rule the healthy people pay the least attention to the condition of their health, believing that there constitution is sufficiently strong to withstand all ordinary exposure. On the other hand, the weakly person* or invalid takes more than the usual pre caution against even the most ordinary exposure. They do not stand within dangerous air drafts; they donor change heavy lor light underclothing, and they do not do many other things of an equally dangerous character. A curious illustration of the treasures of the soil, often overlooked for a long time, is the discovery of mineral wax in Utah. It was discovered three years ago on the line of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, covering an area of 150 acres. Over 1(00 tons a yearare secured. It looks like the wax that is made by beer, and can be used for the same purposes. It is mixed with paraffine in making candles, and is used in the insulation of electric wires. It needs no refining for ordinary uses. The discovery is a hint to our land owners that their farms often contain riches that are overlooked. The Pennsylvania farmers worked the oil fields for generations without a dream of the wealth under foot. W. A. Cuddy, Chaplain of the Legislative Assembly of Arizona, which has just adjourned, has sent $22.50 to the Treasuy Department at Washington. It is part of the salary paid him as Chaplain. He writes: “I can not see that it is right for the rulers to take the people’s money and pay- -it oat to-sotne hypocrite to stand up before the legislative body and pray for pay.” He also states that he once acted as Clerk of the Legislature and received for his services J 640, but while performing thia duty he was also employed in selling whisky. He thinks he should return the 1640 to the government and would do so if he had it. In a museum in Boston is the sword of Gen. Custer, said to be the one he carried when he died. It is a Toledo blade, and bears, in Spanish, the inscription: ( ■ • “Do not draw me without cause; \ Do not sheathe tne without honor.'’ It is said that in an engagement of cavalry in Virginia Custer and a Confederate officer had a hand-to-hand battle. in which Custer’s sword blade broke

off close to the hilt. He cast away the useless fragment, rode to a rail fence, grabbed one of the top rails, and charging furiously upon the astounded Confederate. knocked him from his horse. He then replaced his broken sword with the Toledo blade of the Southerner and carried this to the day of his death. A man hopelessly lost in the bush in South Australia, after wandering about for four days, came upon the telegraph line between Adelaide and Port Darwin. He hadn’t strength to go further, but he managed to climb a pole and cut the wire. Then he made himself as comfortable as possible and waited. The plan worked wel 1 . The telegraph re pairers were sent along the Hne, and they came to the wanderer in time to save his life. William H. Burgess, who lives at Alexandria, Va, assisted in 1836 in building— Washington’s new tomb at Mount Vernon. He says: “I was a lad then, but I remember that in removing the bodies of George and Martha, to their present tomb we decided to open the coffin. I looked in and saw Gen. Washington’s face. The body was well preserved and the features were intact. There was nothing to indicate the time he had been dead. A minute after exposure to the air there was a collapse and nothing was recognizable. The face looked like his pictures.” There is a marked increase this spring says a dealer, in the demand for gentlemen’s jewelry . It used to be considered good form to display very little gold or jewels, but now fashion leaders have made a new departuie. The shirt studs most called for are showy, and quaint scarf pins-are the rage. Tv is j nst the same with watch chains, which must now be heavy and look co tly. Finger rings must have large stones in them or be wide and heavy. But the greatest feature of the jewelry trade this year, so far, has been the demand for fancy lockets with long chains, to be worn round the neck._. Not one recent invention bids fair to add more to our comfort than the use of India rubber for paving. It is an enormoils "stride from "cobble stones to asphalt, but from that to rubber is a greater. It was first used in 1887 by Herr Busse, of Linden, Prussia, for paving a bridge ot something over 10,000 sq u are feet. It proved so satisfactory that it was tried on a given area of carriage way in Hanover. Berlin then tried the same material, and with favorable results. The new pavement is said to have the resistance of granite and the elasticity peculiar to itself. It is affected by neither heat nor cold, and travel over it is perfectly noiseless. The question of expense is now to be considered. “If you should ever feel tempted to take a naval officer to board,” said the wife of one of them to a friend the other day, “all that I can say is, Don’t. They are the most difficult people to please imaginable. My husband has had shore duty for two years now, and for the first time in our married life, I have been keeping house for him. My success is very limited. Aboard ship they live so well that they are constantly making odious comparisons ashore. The mess table is perfectly appointed, the service admirable, and the cook always an artist, to say nothing of the officers themselves More than once my busband has put myself and my maid of all work to confusion by walking into the kitchen and skilfully larding a bird or concocting a sauce that was.quite too much for us. As to tossing a salad together, I can only look on at that operation with admiring wonder, and partake of the result with absorbing relish, with no thought of an attempt to equal it.”

How the President Receives Visitors. 1 Washington Letter to Philadelphia News. The President stands at or near the end of a large, flat desk, which is by a window overlooking the Potomac. A huge boquet of fresh and fragrant flowers is on the desk. As we enter, the President is leaning against this heavy table, with head slightly bowed and fingers of both hands toying somewhat nervously with the fob of his watchchain. He is dressed very plainly. His coat is a black Prince Albert, but on account of the shortness and fullness of the figure looks almost like a cutaway, so completely is the waistcoat exposed toview. Our view is a silhouette, and the plumpness of the President’s stomach, the extra shortness of his legs and neck, the bulging of his brow are all brought into strong light. Presently he turns half round and toys with an eraser which li.es on his desk, and we notice that his legs are just a trifle curved from the feet to the thighs, being widest apart at the knees. He has been listening impatiently to what his caller had to say—probably a story now retold for the twentieth time—and now he makes reply. He is apparently in earnest, for he gesticulates first with one hand and then with the other, and finally_with_beth as if he were making a public address. But there is no temper or feeling about it, for as soon as he has said his say be grasps the caller's hand, and, with a shake that is quick and strong, almost, military in its sweep of the arm, bids the man good-day.

NOTHING LIKE IT.

Great Rejoicing in the Conover Family. Cratches Laid Aside After Twenty Years’ Use. I nave been afflicted with rheumatism twenty years. For the last ten years have been obliged to use crutches. Often my left hip ajid knee would entirely give out. Have expended a large amount of money for remedies recommended as a cure for that terrible disease; have used the most powerful liniments on my hip and knee to sooth the pain, that I might get a little sleep. My hip and knee had lost nearly all strength by the use of liniments, and I could get no help. I saw an advertisement of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup, ordered half dozen bottles, took them and received some relief, and ordered another dozen. Have taken seven of the last dozen, and I am happy in saying that I know I am being cured. Have not used any liniment since I commenced taking your syrup. When I began taking your svrup I could not take a step without the use of a cane; neither could I turn myself in bed without aid;, can now turn in bed without any trouble, can walk about my house and office without the use of my cane, often losing track of it, or the reason when I take a long walk I take it along, My office is four blocks from my house; I have not walked to or from it for over a year until last Thursday. a week. Since that time I have walked to and from it every dav, except Sunday. lam truly rejoicing that lam fast being relieved from such a terrible affliction. Verv truly, S. S.
