1t was thought as late as 1903 that the
monarchical system was impre enable and
that no force could shake it from its
seat; but the refutation of that sad error
came like
A Bolt of Lightning

OF that fateful year had passed the blood
of kings had flowed upon public scat

upon its base. No man can foretell what

the Middle Ages exactly to correspond
with the coins of Rome, to whose early
wisdom modern coinage laws
are due, as also the system of
properly adjusted bimetal=
lism. Gold was fixed to correspond in
value with silver at the ratio then preva-
lent throughout Europe. Silver was then
the measure as it had always been until
1878. The ratio was determined by di-
viding S20.G7 by the governing number.
In 1850 Alexander Hamilton, after
testing all the foreign coins, decided that
the Spanish milled dollar was the proper
basis for unit Of values and jefferson
agreed with him. The reasons for adopt

In 1916 England adopted the gold

A prominent firm Of American jew

Of this Did world method Of doing
things, sought to introduce American
methods and see il the highest grade OF
Swiss watches could not be made more
methodically. A factory was built. en-
ticing rates Of wages were offered to the
most skillful workmen, and the expert
ment was tried. But, alas, the Swiss
workman soon found that no regular
wages could pay him for his loss Of lib
erty. To be on hand when the whistle
blew in the morning. to have his stated
hour for dinner and his fixed hour for
quitting at night-these restrictions he
could not long stand. Formerly he had
worked when he felt like il and stopped
when it pleased him. ard when he was
paid for one job he took his own time
to begin the next generally waiting

WHAT THEY EAT IN EGYPT.

Ksbob aad Green Cakes FERN IN Epi-
sursan Meal For Five Csuts.
Msrgherita Arlina Hamm. Q clever
writer ON the New York Mail and Ex-
press, says that every country has its
own little delicacies, and the British
soldiers who pour into Egypt undoubt-
eddy buy from the street hawkers the
green cakes. and possibly the kabobs.
for which the land Of the Nile Is ia
nous
The kabob is broiled meat. but is
broiled in 80 ridiculous q fashion a. to
be really funny The peddler uses lit
tie charcoal furnace, something like
those in use by our plumbers. In it he
keeps up q small but hot fire. Attached
to the side Of the furnace is lot Of
iron skewera When q customer ap-
proaches, the hawker takes small piece
OF meat, mutton or goat, the latter being
the most popular. cuts it with q sharp
knife into long ribbon, winds 1t around
the skewer and places it over the char
coal fire. Some Of the drippings are col
lected, and. with little salt or salt and
spice, makes . pleasant sauce for the
kabob when 1t is done. The cooking is
very rapid What with the heat Of the
Gre and the thinness Of the meat, it is
thoroughly done in two or three minutes
The green cakes are nothing more or
less than small wheaton cakes mixed
with chopped green leaves Of various
kinds sailed and baked in slow oven.
They are pale yellow, yellow gray and
br0wnish gray, with irregular splashes
Of green ON both the upper and lower
surfacea They are said to be very nour-
lining, and they are certainly very ap-
petizinR and palatable when fresh from
the oven. Almost any kind Of green leaf
which is used as human food serves for
making green cake. The humble cab
bage and the aristocratic petit pois vert.
the watermelon rind and the celery
top. the string haAn and even the aspar-
agus tip have been used for the purpose.
In addition TO tho nutritious leaf there
is nearly always Q hsvoring leaf. The

With this issue TIE OASIS com pletes the second year in Nogales, and is now more than half way through the fourth year of it's existence.
 The career of the paper in Nogale> has been satisfactory and successful There has been and there continues q steady growth in business which k gratifying iD the extreme.
 But the most gratifying growth has been within the present year. Since the campaign of 1896 opened TIE OASIS las made for itself atiUnal reputation, and it's articles have been copied all over the United States. The kick made by the Mineral Wealth and Arizona Populist, which were copied by the Border Nidette. expli- democrat iu the county is quoted as also stating the same fact, coupling with the statement the assertion that the d--d little paper Ina, done nlure to down Bryan aiii free silver than all the rest of the ut >pape sin tue cuurlry." On September 3Olh llIe Nidetlc copied from the Mineral Wealth Ia pupniIstic newspaper in Muhavc county q per sonal assault un the editor Of TIE OASIS in which iL Was stated thai d campaign document fr0ii t.iis paper was being largely distributed among eastern voters" Sc, it will be seen, in making this assertion it comes not from the imagination of the editor; but tine proof has been printed in conspicuous position in tue columns of .'Our esteemed contcmpo rary,n the Border Nidettc.
 It would hardly be expected otber wise than that newspaper 50 bold and aggressive should make many bit ter enemies. But 1t has also made many strong friends not only tight here at home, but all over the United States. But it's enemies cannot put their fingers upon place where the course of TIE OASIS has been wrong Nor can they go back over the past eight months and point to single issue made by the editor or against him. that he did not win in the end And, what is more, with TIE OASIS triumphant, as it has always been, and will always be, the olive branch will be held out to the yanquished; anG when the paper announces the termination Of it's third year in No. gales. there will be complete peace and harmony among the republicans of the line city as there always should have been.
