Champion Soap Maker.

The Mississippi Insane Hospital
claims the honor of having the
champion single-handed soap-maker
in the United States. The indi-
vidual who possesses this proud IL
tie is an old crazy negro named
Aaron-the remainder of his name
is lost in antiquity-and for the
past several years he has been man
ufacturing soft soap at the rate of
twenty-four barrels per week.. The
soap, being of first-class quality,
is used for all cleaning and laundry
purposes about the institution. The
output of soap from the old negro's
factory is 1900 barrels per year,
and Mr.. B. P. Bridges, the steward,
estimates that Aaron makes a clear
profit of $4,000 per annum for the
hospital. He refuses to make soap
unless furnished with certain
brand of concentrated I've, and is
very particular in the selection of
his materials.
