A movement ia said to be on"foot to
revive the issue of fractional paper cur
rency. We nre not aware of any serious
objection that can le offered to the
measure while many reasons might be
given in its favor. The chief of these is
the difficulty and inconvenience that
persons living at a distance from a money
order office have in sending small sums
of money through the mails. Neither
nnntntro Hr.nmnn nor iMiliil notpft fill the
x " tr i
want as both have to be lirst purchased
by the sender and then converted into
currency by the receiver, often at great
inconvenience. The sending of silver
currency through the mail is an un
. handy and clumsy piece of bueiuess
when compared with that of sending
fractional paper currency. Besides too
ine agtrregate additional cost is a con-
. siderable tax upon the people. By all
means let us have a reissue of fractional
paper money.
The people's party of Baker county
are demanding of candidates for county
offices that they enter into a bonded con
tract to perform the work of the offices
. of recorder, clerk and sheriff for a stipu
lated sum of money on condition of be
ing elected bv the partv's vote. The
scheme will hardly work. It is very poa
. gible that the law would construe such
a contract as a bribe and the candidates
. might be knocked out entirely by it
even if they did receive a majority of the
votes cast. hatever temporary meas
ure might be successful nothing efficient
and permanent can be done till the leg
islature deals with the matter and pass-
- ea a law placing the offices named under
fixed salaries or otherwise reduces the
. lees to a sensible and reasonable limit.
The Indians on the Umatilla reserva
tion will be allowed to assume the privil
ege of citizenship including suffrage, im
mediately upon the approval by the ' de
partment of the allotment of their lands.
It is hoped the allotment may be fin
ished before the next June election and
the question that troubles the politicians
of Umatilla county is "How are they
going to vote?" It is supposed that the
candidate who lias the biggest sack will
.capture the Indian persimmon.

WilUr Marks of the Early Paper Makers.
The first water mark on record was
the coat of arms of a town. The early
paper makers were not alow to adopt,
this idea in impressing upon their sheets
the device of the place where their mill
was situated, ,. For instance, the coat of
arms' of the village, of Rives, a dolphin,
is a common mark on old 'papers. - This
mark is still in use today. ' The first use
of the water mark then was as a Signa
ture or emblem to point out the place of
manufacture and to recommend the ma
terial. ..For all that, certain of these emblems
were used by different makers, and even
in different countries, with slight varia
tions "briTOres," as they are called in
heraldiy which were evidently not ac
cident!, but -intentional. .. .The. letter
"P" vised by numberless makers is a
good water mark to take as an example,
since we find that not only is there an
endless variety of forms of the letter in
the product of different mills, bnt that
the same maker modified the "brisnres"
of the letter on different qualities of his
paper. - Another use of - the- water mark
is more -evident still. ; ' - .: ,.
The-names of the principal sizes of
"papier verjre" have been handed down
to ns: and the whole of these have sug
gested water marks.' Rising from the
smallest sheet to the largest, they are as
follows: Bell, pot,- ecu -fa' three franc
piece), crown.' shell, grape, large grape,
jesus, great eagle and great world. . The
size "jesus" was indicated by the letter
j, the rest by their emblems. In the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth centuries the
members of each trade guild were com
pelled to mark their merchandise with
the seal of their guild. Paper Record.
Starting Bulbs. -
Now is the time to start your bulbs in
glasses for the winter's bloom. Grow
ing them in vases of water is popular for
two reasons. : In the first place, it is a
pleasnre to watch the development of
the entire plant, and, secondly, it is. a
very easy and clean way of obtaining a
goodly show of beautiful flowers. It re
quires, moreover, no horticultural knowl
edge or skill, as any one may be success
ful by observing a few obvious rules. It
must be remembered always that in or
der to produce fine flowers all bulbs
must first form their roots, and as the
darknesB prevents the top growth of the
plant, but rather aids that mysterious
process of rootmakang that is generally
in plant life carried on under the friendly
cover of the earth, it is better to place the
glasses in a cool cellar or closet, where
there is at the same time plenty of air,
nntil the roots are well formed and the
plant begins to sprout. J !:' !
' The water in the glasses should just
reach, not - touch, the bulbs; and after
they have been brought into the room
where they are to flower they 6hould oe
kept in a place where it will not be too
hot. -' They like rather a low tempera
ture, although requiring plenty of air
and light. In choosing your bulbs select
those that are hard and heavy, as for
window plants you will want The very
best. New York Tribune.'
Ve-fjetable Irory Buttons.
"The principal nse of vegetable ivory
now," said a broker who deals in the ar
ticle incidentally, "is in the, manufac
ture of buttons. A good many people
probably think that the buttons on their
spring clothes are made - of rubber or
bone and so they used to be. - - Now.
however, vegetable ivory is the principal
material used." The nut in its green
state is filled with a milky substance
which hardens upon ripening into a fine,
even grain and a tough substance. In
this state it is sawed into slabs of the
necessary thickness and turned into but
tons by machinery.
Unlike rubber and 'bone, ivory is not
affected by heat or cold, and ia not liable
to break in the eye. The manufacturers
are located in a number of eastern cities,
though the raw material that comes to
this country , is nsnally landed at this
port.' The cost of manufacturing is the
principal item of expense. - About 80 per
cent, of the cost of the manufactured
article is in the labor. The greatest pro
duction in this country was in 1880 and
1890, but the Utermans are- now able to
successfully : compete -with -American
manufactures, r New York Telegram. ' .

But last week I met in ' a lawyer's office
a lady, of my - acquaintance eminent in
society and so good a business woman
that she has for years managed a vast

She was arranging for the . purchase of
some property on' very, advantageous
terms, 'when suddenly she' rose -and
