AMERICAS WAsTEFuL HABITS.
Many Excellent Materials for Paper
making Are Not Used.

The American nation has the repu-
tation Of wasting almost as much OF
it's esource as ii uses. Facts are Oft
en- advanced to show that there is
much truth in such q statement. The
Northwest annually produces a mill
lion and a half tons of fax stalks
which are not now used for anything.
That amount of waste remains after
the twinemakers take all they want.
1t makes excellent paper. The farm
ers in the South burn or plough under
13, 000, 900 I'M OF cotton stalks every
year. That which Is ~ploughed under is
not wholly lost for 1t enriches the
soil to some extent. but not so with
what goes up in smoke. Five hum
dred thousand tons of fibre have been
adhering to cotton seed every year. 1t
has been fed to farm stock along with
the seed and has done the stock no
good. Cattle and sheep do not like the
fibre, and the seed cake is better with
out it. A machine has been invented
which, 1t is claimed, will separate the
lint from the seed. Paper makers
think they a use~it.
Nobody knows how many million
tons Of ~cornstalks go to waste; but In
quality they are far ahead OF cotton
stalks, and it is believed they can be
made into paper, although 1t has not
yet been done on a commercial scale.
The time has not yet corne@whcn tits
absolutely N@substftute
FOR pup wood be found, but IL Is COM
ing. The forests are still able to fur
nish materials for paper, but they can
not continue to do so for a great many
years TO come, at the present rate OF
cutting and growth. Makers of paper
anticipate a scarcity of pulp wood and
Ii Is this which prompts the active
search now going on for substitutes.

From July L~lppincotts.
The excursion train was crowded, and
the man in the center of the car knew il
would be impossible TO get out through
the lam to get something to eat without
losing his seat and perhaps missing the
train. He looked longingly at the restau-
rant across the tracks, and, seeing an
urchin sitting on the iron pipe near by, he
called. him over, saying, Here, son, tax
this quarter and run over TO hat res
taurant and get me a sandwich. And get
Yourself one" he called after the boy.
.fYou are easy said the eXcursionist
beside the man. You'll never see that
kid or your quarter again
And as the train whistled at the mo-
ment he feared it would be true. Just
then. however, the boy came out of the
restaurant with a large. fat sandwich in
his hand. The train was moving as he
up the change and then, taking
a huge mouthful of the sandwich, he
called to the departing man with the hun
ger:
They only had one left. Thanks"
