PROGRESSIVE WORK OF JEWS.
Large and Influential OrGauixatioua

Without the mention of a few of the

these and most prominent, and the one
which has assumed almost an interna-

influence to central Europe, eastern
Asia and northern Africa, is the ''B'nai

This has membership of 10000 "breth-
ren," with over 400 lodges in the United
States and elsewhere. The 'Indepen-
lent Order of Free Sons of Israel"
founded 1849, has 103 lodges with II 200
members, and a reserve fund of $685.

building towers aloft at the corner of
East Broadway and Jefferson street,
New York. This was erected in 1889 by
the united efforts of the Jews of the me-

Deer In Upper Michipar.

The deer in the upper peninsula are
increasing at great rate every year
Notwithstanding the immense number
OF hunters who spend part or the whole
or the open season there. One reason
advanced for this increase is the great
falling off in the number of lumber
camps as the timber has been cut
away. Formerly the men in these
camps practically lived on venison all
winter, in and out of the season, and
thousands of deer were killed each
year to supply their wants. The camps
being fewer now, the slaughter has
been greauy curtailed.

Mythical as Thirteen.

Modern occultists maintain that the
lumber four plays quite as an import
ant part in mundane affairs as the
number ID, and for the following rea-
sons: There are four cardinal points.
four winds, four seasons, four rules for
arithmetic, four conjugations and four
quarters of the men. Moreover. the
Olympiad lasted for four years, a pack
of cards is composed of four equal
parts and of four suits, an hour is
divided into four quarters, and most
pieces OF furniture have four legs. The
occultists even point out that every
human being has four canine teeth.
that fork has four prongs, that
corpses are placed between four planks
and prisoners between four walls, and
that at a funeral the coffin is usually
borne by four persons.
