1he Ahbrr1lation d zoologieal.

world, and he received every morning dal-
lies published in % languages By the year
1855 he found himself the happy owner of
10000 files He then hit on the excellent
idea of founding a newspaper museum, and
with this object in view sent Il circular

Wealth Out Of a Poor Farm,

There is a man in Alabama who,
according to the New Orleans States,
takes life very easy, for the simple
reason that his farm extends up and
down the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad for distance of forty or
fifty miles, A great many persons
will be disposed to doubt this state
ment, but nevertheless it is the truth.
A short time ago the Alabama man
was victim OF impecuniosity be-
cause his farm was SO poor that the
cats would not stay on it, but one
day the engineers of the road came
along and discovered that his farm
was nothing more than a vast deposit
of gravel, the very material they de-
sired to use as ballast for the bed of
the road. They endeavored to buy
the farm, outright, but. the old man
stubbornly refusing to sell the only
home he had on earth, it was finally
arranged to pay him a royalty on
every carload of gravel taken from
his land. The royalty has made him
rich, and as the supply of gravel is
practically ineXhaustible he will soon
be able to boast that his farm is the
largest in the world and extends all
the way from New Orleans to Louis

Take n Voyage ON the Lakes.


Those people would like to take a
summer voyage without crossing the
Atlantic may turn their eyes to the
Western lakes. They can there take
voyage Of four or five days, a week
or Of single day, just as they like;
can get far away out of land or keep
pretty close to the shore, just as they
please; can take $50, worth of voyage
or IS worth, according to their fancy;
can keep within single lake or 20
through five lakes, at their plea> ure;
can have a passage or a steerage, az
it suits them; can travel by wind or
by steam, which ever they prefer, and
can see all the places on the way, or
avoid them all, as they may have
mind to. We should think that
many of the people who do not want
to spend the time or the money
needed for voyage to Europe or
other foreign parts would take
voyage on our own grand inland lakes.
1t is good thing to do. A coasting
voyage as far north as Pope's Folly
Island, which is United States prop
erty. or as far south as Florida or
Texas, is also very good thing at
this season Of the year. A man can
take voyage to great lot Of places.

depressing Chattcl Mortgage
Sharks.

Some Boston business men have re-
Gently completed a five years. expert
ment of interest to every large city
They united to suppress the chattel
mortgage sharks They formed
company, or ASSOCIATION, to loan
money to the classes who usually tall
victims to the sharks. At the time
the business men entered the field
these leaders were charging the Dor
rowers on chattel mortgages from
to 10 per cent per month. The asso-
citation adopted uniform rate of l
per cent per month. 1t required
that with every payment of interest
the borrower must make a small pay
ment-abOut five per cent.-on the
principal. Since it has been doing
business the association has loaned
over $500, 900 on chattel mortgages.
Fourteen hundred and ninety bor-
rOwers have been accommodated.
Loans have been repaid very fast
averaging about eighteen months
The usual experience with the shark
is that OF becoming deeper and deeper
in debt Last year the association
paid six per cent. dividend. The
object is not to make money, how
ever. 1t Is to earn fair pay on the
investment, and to take away the &C.

tion.-Boston Herald.
