FROM MEXICO.
The tremendous drop in. the price of
silver on th? 20th and '27 ih, bringing ex
change in New York to 66 per oeut., baa
caused much dieoussion among Mex
ioun bankers. They generally regard
the present situation as offering oppor
tunity for the United States to force
bimetallism upon Europe, says a dis
patch. It is suggested by one man
tbat tbe United States might issue a
gold loan of $500,000,000 four-and-a
half per cent bonds, whioh is said would
be immediately taken up in Europe,
where all other government securities
would immediately drop heavily, not
being able to compete with American
bonds. Then, aocording to tbe theory,
gold would flow Into the United States,
and in a short time bimetallism would
have been adopted by Europe, and the
enormous quantity of silver held by the
Amerioan treasury would rise in value,
the whole transaction being immensely
profitable to the United States. It is
Baid here that if nothing is done to
bring about bimetallism, all the silver
uaiug countries wi'l begin manufactur
ing for themselves, and the Uuited
States and Europe will lose euormously
in their foreign trade. The United
States, it is argued, could afford to un
dertake a gigantic financial operation,
being able to feed it, uud bas now a
wouderful opportunity to settle tbe sil
ver qutstion permanently.
THE VALl'KD POLICY LAW.
The Marlon Co. Democrat.
Ihe Uemocrals Otrtainly have no ill
feelings agaiust insurance companies
aud consider thim exceedingly useful
aud beneficial institutions, and we
would bave taken no notice of an article
in Tuesday's Statexmau were it not
that ths writer saw fit to asperse the
motive of all newspapers who disagree
with him by saying:
There whs no oull for snob a la,
and all good business men and disinter
ested newspapers protested against its
postHge.
This is a direct insinuation that the
newspiipers thut advooated the hill
were not disinterested, but were acting
from improper motives. The bill wae
called by the farmers and business
men of the stu'e, aud we venture to
predict that no oaudidate for the legisla
ture iu Marlon county oau be elected
on a platform demanding its repeal.
Pray, who would be interested in such
legislation except tbe iusurauee com
panies and their newspaper lobyists.
Prior to the passage of this law no man
could be assured that be would reoeive
auything like the amount on which be
had been paying a premium, iu ease of
loss. It may be that the insurauoe
couipanies caunot make money aa
rapidly under this law, but it so it is
because prior to its passage the took
larger risks upon property thau they
are now taking, knowing that under
the old law nothing could be collected
in exoesa of the value of tbe property
at the time it was destroyed. It was
the habit of traveling insuranoe agenb
to induce farmers to insure their
buildings for more than their full
value, thus plaoing before tie insured
a constant temptation to commit arson.
Uoder tbe new law the compauies will
be compelled to pay some attention to
the i haraoters of their agents and see
that they are men who will not tempt
farmers to over-value their buildings
in order to seoure a large commission.
If the companies do this tbe temptation
to commie arson, instead of being in
creased, will be removed. The States
man further iuforms ns that the Pacifio
Insuranoe Union bas tent ont orders
tbat hereafter ten per cent shall be
added to all premiums as a specific tax,
to be colleoted and remitted by the
agents, and the following olause shall
be endorsed upon all policies on and
after July 1st, 1893;
An additional premium of dollars
is obarged to oover additional hazard
created by Oregon's valued poliojjlaw.
This is a direot attempt by tbe In
surance trust to bulldoze the farmers
and business men into a demand for
the repeal of the law. In our opinion
it will only serve to incense the public
against the companies and they will
give ihoir patronage to any oompau),
that will stay outside of tbe compact.
They have not demonstrated that there
are more incendiary losses iu Ortgou
thau there were prior to the passage of
this law and until they can i rove such
an allegation they have no excuse what
ever for such action. It is a dear case
of bulldozing on the part of the trust.

From the Oregouian.
When the Oiegouian democrats onme
hre they did not like tbe amount of
paper money furnished them whenever
tbey had, a bill or a $20 gold piece
changed. They seem to want silver.
One of them went to a bank to have

some friend in Oregon, and tbe oasbiei
was about to hand him out bills when
be said :
"I want this all in silver."
"Do you want it delivered?" sarcast
ically iuquired the ousbier.
Another mau went to a bank
with a $20 gold pieoe and told tbe
cashier thut be wanted it changed and
wanted it in silver.
'Do you want quarters or hall

"I want it iu big silver Cart wheels,'

The author of "Bulgaria Before the

ten minutes, while he lay wide awake

It has often struck nie wtth astonish
ment to see the little respect anyone
in Turkey pays to sleep. When 1 have
been staying In the villages I have
often heard a member of the family get
up, and after searching about among
his sleeping companions, arouse them
all to ask where his tobacco was, or
upon some equally slight excuse.
A lad of eighteen would thus wake
up his father, a man of sixty, perhaps
two or three times in the night, and yet
there would never be an angry word of
remonstrance; and when I huve snapped
savagely at some one for walking into
my room and over my body in the mid
dle of the night, my snappishness has
caused the greatest astonishment
Many times I have turned in with na

UNLEAVENED BREAD.
Hebrew Baker Are Three Month Pre
paring for the I'aasover. j
Over three thousand years ago the
Israelites made their exodus from bond
age under Egyptian rulers, and ever
since that time the week following the
fifteenth day of the first Hebrew month,
the month of Nison, has been set aside
for commemoration of their departure.
It was on the night of the fourteenth of
Nison that the Hebrews, now number
ing three million, were led to freedom
by Moses. In chapters twelve and thir
teen of Genesis the manner of celebra
tion on the first night of tbe feast is
partly told, and there it is commanded
that unleavened bread be eaten on the
first night and no leaven, be kept in the
house at any time during the week.
This is in remembrance of the fact that
the Jews in their hurry to leave Egypt
were forced to take along unleavened
bread, which they had to bake in the
sun. A great many Israelites have a
separate set of dishes to be used once a
year during this week only, and those
who have not an extra set of dishes
scour out their dishes thoroughly. Iu
Europe, when they happen to have any
bread or other sort of leaven in the
house the housewife locks the pantry
and hands over the key to some old
Christian friend of hers to keep till the
feast is over.
The making of these unleavened cakes
called matzos has come to be quite an
industry in this country, says the Times
Star of Cincinnati. For three months
before the feast of passover the matzos
bakers are busy, and nearly eight mil
lion matzos arc baked in this city from
the middle of January to the middle of
April. This represents about four hun
dred and forty-five thousand dollars.
Said the head baker at a large bakery:
"We make about eight thousand matzos
a day, for which we use four barrels of
flour."
"Do you use the ordinary Hour?"
"Yes, but it is the finest quality, and
has to be examined by a Hebrew, who
judges whether it is satisfactory. We
buy ours in this city. Then the water
used must be put into a vessel before
sundown and remain to settle for the
whole night. This bakery is (for baking
unleavebed bread only, and tjve.'y thing
is especially got for this bakery, even to
the rags we use."
"How do you prepare the flour?"
"We take, say, fifteen pounds of flour,
and, mixing it with water, we put it
into a copper kettle, where it is thor
oughly mixed. Then this man, the
kneader, takes it, and on this block by
means of pressing on this heavy beam,
he kneads the dough to the proper co
hesiveness." The reporter saw a block,
on top of which was a beam four feet
long, fastened by a spring at the back of
the block; and there, was a man jump
ing on and off the beam, so as to make
a sort of artificial kneader, the beam
rising when the man jumped off.
"It is then taken to the next, room,"
said the baker, "aud about a third of it
at a time is passed seven times through
these rollers, which, you see, are ar- j
ranged like a clothes-wringer's rollers, '
only these are iron. Having been so
pressed, it is of the proper thickness.
Care has to be taken here that while
one piece of dough is being pressed the
other pieces should not become too hard:
therefore a man is continually beating
them. The piece of dough, now a strip
ten inches wide by ten feet long, is put
under the hands of a man who uses a
roller much like the ordinary dough
roller, except that there are sharp pro
jections sticking out all around to make
little holes in the cakes. Next to him
is a man with a sharpened wheel which
he uses to cut the strip into pieces, each
the length of a cake. These pieces are
put into an oven, and in two minutes
they are done."
And the gentleman handed tbe re
porter u matzo, which was almost
tasteless except for the slight browning
it had received.
"Are these cakes made the same way
in Europe'.'"
"No; abroad there is more hard work.
Women knead the dough by hand, and
the cakes are thicker than we make
them here.
"Matzos cost about ten cents a pound,
and toe meal which we nake by grind
ing broken matzos costs eleven cents a
pound. We make one hundred pounds
jf meal a day."

FOR INVENTIONS.
Equal with the interest of those having claims against the' government is
that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit of valuable inventions because .
of the incompetency or inattention of the attorneys employed to obtain their
patents. Too much care cannot be exercised in employing competent and reli
able solicitors to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not
entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney.
With the view of protecting inventors from worthless or careless attorneys,
and of seeing that inventions are well protected by valid patents, we have re
tained counsel expert in patent practice, aud therefore are prepared to
Obtain Patents In the United States and alt Foreign Countries, Conduct In
terferences, Make Special Examinations, Prosecute Rejected Cases,
Register Trade-Marks and Copyrights, Render Opinions as to
Scope and Validity of Patents, Prosecute and
Defend Infringement Suits, Etc., Etc.
i If you have an invention on hand send a sketch or photograph thereof, to
gether with a brief description of the important features, and you will be at once
advised as to the best course to pursue. Models are seldom necessary. If
others are infringing on your rights, or if you are charged with infringement by
others, submit the matter to us for a reliable OPINION before acting on the
matter.

, HE HELD THE BAG.
Uut the Old Trick TJJdn't Work, for tha
lioston Man Caught the Kubblt.
Some time since a gentlornan from Itos
ton went to an Illinois town seeking
rest and pleasure, says the St. Louis Re
public, The gentleman knew all about
Boston baked beans and brown bread,
but very little about tho long-eared Illi
nois rabbit. One afternoon a number of
men and boys were discussing the mat
ter of the great number of rabbits in the
country this season, as it was thought
they were all exterminated last winter.
Some one in the crowd remarked that it
would be good fun to go out "bagging"
rabbits. The Boston man, not knowing
what "bagging"' rabbits meant, began
to inquire. It was explained to him,
and he expressed himself anxious to en
gage in such sport. It was arranged to
goouttotne timber east of the town
that night and catch rabbits by the bag
ging process.
About 8:30 o'clock tbe crowd started.
When about a half milo out of town
they came to a hazel thicket whore the
rabbits were said to be numerous. The
Boston man was stationed just outside
of tho thicket to hold the ba? (a big cof
fee sack), while the boys went through
tho brush pretending to scare the rab
bits out and run them into the sack.
While going through the thicket the
boys did actually scare up a rabbit,
which ran directly into the bag.
The boys ran back to town and waited
the coming of the bag-holder, who, they
thought, would get lost in the timber
and would bo slow returning. They did
not havo long to wait, for in a few min
utes in came the Boston man. the bag
and rabbit on his shouldor, feeling hap
py, and remarking: "By gush, I caught
him."
Not yet discovering tho trick that
they had tried to nl.iv nnKim ,-
posed that the rabbit was purposely
driven in tho sack.
Tho laugh was on the boys and the
Boston man turned out tn ho ,kq ii. r
the occasion, having bagged his gam
auccesatully. Xo more tricks have been

among the living still cherish the mem
