BAD MULE BROUGHT FORTUNE
Kicked His Owner into a Big Streak
OF Gold. An Incident of Life
in the Far West.

Tom Powers is known as the most
unlucky teamster in southern Cali
fornia, and seldom makes trip with
out being kicked, bitten or trodden
upon by one of his mules, says the
Chicago Record-Herald. One day he
took contract to haul load of sup
plies eighty miles from the railroad to
mining camp. The road runs along
the edge of deep canyon, and for
miles is only foot or so wider than a
wagon. On one side is a perpendic-
uiar cliff several hundred feet high
and on the other a gorge several hun
dred feet deep. Tom got half way over
the heaviest part of the grade when
one of his wheelers, "Old Sam, " the
meanest mule in the team, stopped
dead short and began to kick, without
any apparent reason. Tom eXpOstu-
lated. according to the habit of unre-
generate teamsters, and used his
blacksnake whip with great freedom.
But he could not persuade the beast to
move. Finally he climbed off the
wagon, gathered a bunch of dry grass,
tucked it under the animals hind
quarters and set it on fire. The flames
had scarcely singed the hair of the
mule when something happened. Tom
doesn't know exactly what it was, but
IN less time than it takes to tell it he
found himsef at the bottom OF the can
Won covered with bruises and nursing
a. broken shoulder blade. But alps
we'll that ends well, in Death Valley
as elsewhere, for when he was
scrambling up the ledge he uncovered
a streak of gold from which he has
already realized more than seventy
five thousand dollars. The first thing
he did after the mine began to pay
was to purchase cold Sam" from his
former employer and make the mule
his mascot.

SUGAR CURED LUMBER.
French Process That Is Said to Re-
sist Ants.

French Process That Is SaAu 10 ne
sist Ants.
A new era for American lumber IN
the tropics may develop from the
French process of treating fresh wood
by means of sugar and heat, which, 1t
is asserted, preserves it and gives the
appearance of age, says a Washington
correspondent Of the New York Irlb-
une.
Consul Atwell at Roubaix, who sent
to the state department a preliminary
report on the discovery last March,
has now sent a supplemental state
ment, in which he says that specimens
of sugar seasoned wood have been ex-
ported to different tropical countries
for trial. and word now comes from
the Madras presidency that specimens
sent there have resisted successfully
the attacks of white ants.
This will doubtless bring about d
revolution in the export timber trade
TO tropical countries, as soft WOOD
treated by the new process will replace
the expensive teak and eucalyptus that
are known to resist the ravages OF
white ants.

loommittee, of which Jacob Ell. Schiff
If New York is chairman, and DR..
sCrrus Adler, also of that committee,
la recently transmitted to every Syn
ocooue in the United States valuable
literature giving a resume of the
growth and progress of the Jewish in
EPnepce in America since 1865.
The statistics show that the Jewish
nopulation has grown from 230, PSI in

Referring to the Jewish wealth, DR..

THE Jewish immigrants who arriv-

century we're in the main poor people,
Who commenced trading in small

the existence of railroads, was fav-
oMte method of carrying merchandise
INTO the country districts. By indus
trv and frugality they laid the foun-
Nations of considerable number of
modest fortunes. The Jews in New
Work became an integral part OF that
great trading community.
4 'The organization under which the
stock exchange of New York was
Formed, originated in an agreement in
h792 to buy or sell only on a definite
Commission, and to this document was
attached the signature of four Jews.
Since then Jews have been very active
n the stock exchange and in banking
circles, both in New York and else
where. They have also taken lead

Arade. Jews are likewise very prom
fnent in the manufacture of cloaks
Rnd shirts, in the clothing trade, and
hore recently in cigars and jewelry.
in 1888 Markers estimated that the
Wholesale trade in the hands of Jews
n the city of New York amounted to
R24S, 900, 900, and the holdings OF real
Estate to $3.50, 900, 000."

500 Backs Every Claim.

Inasmuch as few of our would-be-
competitors, envious of the over
whelming popularity of the famous
Byrne Simplified Shorthand and Prac-
tical Bookkeeping, have said and pub
lished sail manner of evil against it
falsely" and inasmuch as it is not
always convenient for everyone to in
vestigate the different systems before
entering school, we make, for the
benefit of honest doubters, or those
who may be unacquainted with our
work, the standing offer, to deposit
500 in bank in this city, payable to
you at the completion of a course, If it
is not all we claim for it, in our cata-
logue and other advertising matter
If you read our advertising matter
you will notice we claim a great deal
for these systems that could not justly
be claimed by schools teaching other
systems. Under this proposition the
student takes no risk in enrolling after
reading our advertising matter, for the
500 will more than pay his tuition,
board, books and railroad fare. By
these systems we are enabled to give
you the most thorough and up date
course to be had, and in almost half
the time, and at half the cost. They
were compiled by practical business
man to meet the demands of the bust
ness world, rather than the old time
theory Commercial schools. Every
part of these systems is thoroughly
practical, and is taught on the plan of
"learn to do by doing"
To get the advantages of these ia
nous systems, you will have to attend
one of the Byrne System Business
