An excursion from Birmingham to
Montgomery was rsn the other day,
says the Birmingham (Ala.) Age
Herald. A negro man appeared at
the ticket office in the depot and
purchased a ticket for himself. Then
he said to the ii ket agent:
Boss, l want mother round trip
'scursiOn ticket for a corpse"
The agent opened his eyes in as
constituent. An excursion ticket for
a corpse was something new to him,
even with his varied experience.
The negro explained: you see,
boss, my brudder died yesterday and
| want ter take de corpse down TO
Montgomery and let de family view
de mains, and den bring 'em back to
Birmingham and bury 'em. Dis will
be a heap cheaper den fur de family
to cum up here.
The agent saw at once that this
was a great stroke Of economy and
enterprise on the part Of the negro.
There were probably a dozen men,
bers OF the family, and tickets for
them TO birmingham and hoard while
there would be quite expensive. The
corpse could get the benefit OF excur.
sion rates to Montgomery and would
pay no board while there. Thus the
negro subserved the ends Of economy
and preserved the respect for the grief
OF the family at the same time.

IndIana'S 1000 Lakes.

A person might look on the map un.
til he was blind without discovering
the curious fact, too insignificant from
q geographical view to be taken into
account in the general Typographical
data that, huddled together in the
northeastern corner of Indiana are
more than 1000 natural lakes, ranging
in size from ten to 100 acres. They
are all within the boundaries of Steu-
ben, DeKalb, Lagrange, Noble anC
Kosciusko Counties, 312 of them being
in Noble County alone. Such is the
isolation of this extraordinary groUl
of lakes that the average Indiana citi-
zen, outside of the small area in which
the system is situated, is unaware Of
its existence 1t is entirely separate
from the river system OF the State, and
corresponds in character with thai
famous group of lakes in Orange and
Sullivan Counties, y. Y, and Wayne
and Pike Counties, Penn. literally
great springs of crystal water, with
bottoms of the whitest sand. The wild
charm of mountain environment that
is the characteristics of their Eastern
counterparts is lacking, however, in
the Indiana lakes, although they occu
Ply the highest situation in the State.
Nowhere else in Indiana Is there a
lake of any size whatever. These
sheets of water are the natural home:
of the small-mouth black bass, and ex
Fish Commissioner Dennis, Of this
State, declares that the small-mouth
black bass that inhabit the waters OF
every part of the country came from
that group of lakes. Nowhere else on
the continent have these fish been
caught equal in size to those taken
from Indiana waters. The largest
small-mouth black bass of which there
is any record was caught this ssasos
in Sylvan Lake, at Rome City, by Sid
ney Z. Smith of that place. 1t weighed
nine and half pounds. Last season
DR.. Meyer, of Kendallvillc, took one
in the same lake that weighed nine
pounds. Sylvan Lake is the largest o.
the Indiana waters, its natural size
having been enlarged by draining to
make it a supply reservoir in the days
of canal navigation. 1t is five miles
lone and a mile wide. New York

Paper.Makinq Materials.

Almost everything in the vegetable
kingdom, with large additions from
the animal and mineral, will furnish
the raw material for the making OF
paper. The only question is whether
it can be reduced at allowable expense.
HorEs, hoofs, hides and bones, lime,
alum, rosin, soda and soap, divers
things from divers places, go INTO
paper. The mining Of clay for paper
makers use is very considerable in
dustry of itself. The clay adds to the
body and finish OF the paper, and
likewise to the profit. Paper has been
made Of wood, hay and stubble, OF
mummies and hornets nests. The
list OF paper making materials includes
obout 400 items. 1t would be easier
to catalogue the materials Of which
paper cannot be made. Almost any
thing can be used except nails, needles
and pearl buttons, feathers, piglron
and syntax, the only question being
the cost of reducing the stuff to pulp.
In the ages B. G. the ''reeds' lorded
it over the paper-maker, and even for
500 of the years of our Lord the
papyrus roll held its own. Then for
ten centuries the lowly and despised
rag was king But kings are q little
passee. and now wood is "boss," or at
least divides the empire. The supply
Of paper reeds is exhausted the
supply of rags will not begin to equal
the demand; substitute must be
found. and for it we go to the forests.
Wood pulp has achieved a migAty
revolution in the art of paper-making,
and the revolution is not ended. The
WASP has used wood paper for i'm
memorial ages, but man has been slow
70 use it as a fiber The invention
was finally suggested by observing
wasp's nest made Of wood transformed
into paper. In the search for a sub
stitute for rags, wood has been ex-
perimented with in many plnces and
for many years, but to Frederick
Gottlob Keller, of Saxony, is due the
credit of the invention about 1876
