FORTUNES EASILY MADE.
Some Men Acquire Riches Without Any
Serious Struggle.


The three principal matters which
have all to do with the increase of
wealth in society as at present consti-
tuted are the natural bounties upon
which man constantly exercises his fac
ulties. and everything which enables
him to use them to better advantage:
the means of transporting the products
of his labor to all parts of the earth
with ease and cheapness, and the me
dunn which facilitates exchange of
commodities between men - money.
The study of these three principal
sources of wealth to a community Will
reveal two facts-that the people have
been Indifferent to them as the
money-malIers have been attentive: and
that while the Indifference of the one
accounts for their ever-diminishing
wages, the attention of the other ac-
counts for their immense fortunes.
1t is from the natural bounties that
all the wealth of any community
springs. writes Edward McGlynn ID.
D., in Donahoe's Magazine. The land
and its resources, the forest and its
riches. the rivers. seas and oceans with
their teeming life are the first and only
sources of real wealth. and upon them
depend the artificial values which so
ciety gives to the beginning of all So
-cial wealth He is the unit of value.
1t is his eXertion which creates all val
ues, and the object of his eNcrtions is
the support of his own life, the accom-
plishment of his own destiny. here and
hereafter, as his Creator ordained. The
natural bounties must always. there
fore, be open to him in every society,
no matter how complex its organiZa-
ton. The necessity implies a right
the right of getting at the natural
bounties with ease and without serious
hindrance; the right of using these
bounties without tax to any power save
society, directly Orto its agents. Now
at this point we get our first glimpse of
are made.
We take possession of these natural
bounties. to monopoliZe them under
cover of law and custom. and to make
all men who would use them pay be

began; by getting hold of the natural
bounties, which really belong to the
community, and should never leave its
jurisdiction except in the most prudent
f, fashion, and then only to revert reg
ularly to the same community, the
builders of great fortunes have been
able to enrich themselves at pleasure
! without any labor worthy of the i'm
mense prizes they win.

A charge has been laid at Mulai
Omar's door-that of having ordered
the music of the drums and flies to
cease on the occasion of the announce
ment of Mulai Abdul. AZiz's succession
to the throne. On the players refus-
ing, his highness sent a slave, who en-
forced silence by splitting up the drums
with dagger. For this act of treason
he was afterwards punished by having
the flesh of his hand sliced, the wound
filled with salt and the whole hand sewn
up in leather. 1t is a common belief
that this punishment causes mortitica-
tion to set in and that the hand decom-
poses; but such is not the case, for by
the time the leather wears off the
wound is healed, the result being that
the hand is rendered useless and re-
mains closed forever. 1t is punish
ment not often in use, but is sometimes
done in cases of murder or constant
theft, as, without in any way injurIng
the health of the man, it prevents his
committing the crime a second time, or
for the hundredth time, as the case may
be. 1t is a punishment that cannot be
applied except by the sultans orders.

In the process of manufacturing the

side by side in a finished state IL takes
an expert to determine which l. which.
The artificial material at one state Is

Lehner's invention, which may be
called an artificial sillIworm comes into

attention that it can be kept at work
with about as much labor as il devoted
to twenty-four-hour clock performs
exactly the same mechanical work that
a Silllworm does. 1t draws from the
liquid a continuous. unbroken thread of
even diameter and unlimited length.
As this thread il spun, another portion
OF the machine takes IL up and twists IL
into any desired thickness of warn with
perfect regularity.
Thus the fabric can be made of any
desired weight or thickness. so that II
will be seasonable at all times.
This artificial silk has been spun in
Bradford, England. and worked up into
a large variety Of fabrics. In the dye
ing, weaving and finishing of these no
special treatment has been found neces-
sary. 1t has been dyed in all ina gin

the peculiar qualities of the material
