A Boom For Maple Sugar.
A BOUNTY OF TWO CENTS PER
POUND OFFERED BY THE FED
ERAL GOVERNMENT.

But ONLY THE HIGHEST QUALITY MAPLE
SUGAR WILL GET THIS BONUS.-H0W
TO PRODUCE SUCH SUGAR.-THE LAT
EST IMPROVED NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. NOW
TO GET READY, OR YOU MAY LOSE THE
EXTRA BOUNTY.
A tremendous impetus will be given to
the production of maple sugar by the
bounty of l 3-4 cents and two cents per
pound which is to be paid from the Unit
ed States treasury for all maple sugar
hereafter produced in this country. This
is one of the features of the agricultural
part of the new tariff law. 1t has been
doubted whether this bounty would apply
to next springs crop of maple sugar.
The sugar bounty law, Section 24I,
reads:
That the provisions of this act providing terms
for the admission of imported sugars and molasses
and for the payment Of bounty sugars ola do
nsesic production shall take effect the LIST day of
April, 1891.
Therefore all maple sugar made next
spring in conformity with The law will
get the bounty. In order To draw the
bounty, the producer must before April
lst get license from the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, and must make not
less than 800 pounds.

This request should be made at once.
To make sure that yon get the papers, M
them out, have them accepted, and receive
the official license long before April lst
Remember also that thousands of applica-
lions will be made, that many will rush
in at the last moment. that official bust
ness is always slow, and that licenses will
be issued i'm order of application 1t will be

your license before sugaring begins. you
can't get the bounty. Write the above
request at once, and you will be all ready
for the extra two cents long before April
Ist. The extra two cents will be paid on
every pound OF maple sugar made in the
United States in conformity to the law.
But maple sugar must be good to get
either the extra bounty or fetch a profita-
BILE price in market. The best sugar will
test ''not less than ninety degrees by the
polariscope," and will therefore be enti-
tied to the full bounty of two cents per
pound. But II large amount of the maple

less than so degrees" and such will get
only l "a cents per pound bounty. In
fact, the bulk of maple sugar in market
will test 81 to sc degrees by the palar-
scope, and thus get only the 81 cents
bounty. Besides this, a large quantity
of low grade sugar has heretofore been
sold that won't test even so degrees, and
such stuff won't get any bounty. Now by
the use of the latest improved methods
and appliances, the lowest grade sugar
can be SO improved as to test over s0,and
get the 3 cents bounty. But, more
important still, by the use of the Williams
evaporation and good management the
great bulk of the crop can be brought up
to test 80 and over, and thus be entitled
to the full bounty of two cents per pound.
Not only can maple sugar thus be made
to get the bounty, but the cost of produc-
ing such sugar is by this system greatly
reduced.

Something New in Steam.

In modest two-story building not far
from the Long Bridge, there resides an
inventor, who has, if reports are true,
hit upon device which, it is claimed by
persons well informed, is very decided
improvement on steam engines now in
use. The invention, which is applicable
alike to locomotives, marine engines,
hosting engines, and all other engines
which require to be reversed or run in
both directions, dispenses entirely, it is
stated, with the complicated "link"
mechanism heretofore used in all sue
cessful reversible engines, and substi-
tutes therefor single valve and operat-
ing device so simple that it may be un-
derstood by child. The link mechan-
ism in common use has been found ex
pensive, complicated and difficult, but
in this new device the parts are few and
controlled by single handle, which
starts, stops, slows down and rcverses
the motion. This is effected by simple
contrivance, the steam being caused to
cushion the piston in reversing, SC that
a reversal from high speed in one direc-
ton to equal speed in the opposite direc-
tion may be secured Instantly, without
shock or strain upon the engine. Dur-
ing the past few days a number of prom
inent experts have witnessed trials of the
engine, and all are unanimous in saving
that it possesses advantages for which
engineers have sought for years. The
name of the inventor is Philo Maltby. 1t
IS understood that number of promi-
nent business men are interested in the
invention. Il Washington Star.

History of Pen Making.

A Roman metal pen is said to
have been found at Aosta-not mere
stylus, but bronze pen, slit, and there
is evidence of pen or reed of bronze
nearly as late as the invention of printing,
in the fifteenth century.
A hundred years ago, some steel pens
were made in Birmingham, England. by
Mr.. Harrison for Dr. Priestly, and some
of these passed into the hands of Sir
Joseph Mason, in his early days with Mr..
Harrison, but all of them have been lost
The first pen of metal, of date beyond
all question, is one in Dutch patent
book of 1717. At the same time polite
ode by Pope refers to ''steel and gold
pen," but these were evidently luXuries
only.
1t was about 1928 or 1924 that the
great revolution in making pens by a
cheaper process--the hand screw press,
which pierced the pens from sheet steel
began. Previously pens had been
made from steel or gold rolled into tubes
and with joint forming the slit. These
required considerable labor to shape them
into "a pen form. The use of screw
press belongs to the period of John
Mitchell, Joseph elliott and Joseph
Mason; but on careful review of the
facts it seems to be clear that John
Mitchell has the best claim to be con-
sidered as the introducer of press made
pens. Skinner, of Sheffield, England,
was apparently one of the first to cheaper
the production of pens, but his manu-
factures were surpassed when the screw
press wa5 introduced New York Tele-
gram.

Reeds Put to Many Uses.

Though the Bolivian shore of Lake
Titicaca is rough and abrupt, the noun
tains on that side pressing boldly down
into the water, the western and southern
shores are low and comparatively level,
the swampy edges overgrown with a
species of tall, strong reeds called tortera.
These reeds serve the natives for as many
purposes as bamboo does the Chinaman.
They are used instead of lath for lining
the walls of houses, for thatching roofs,
bottoming chairs, filling beds, making
baskets, boats and bridges. They are
also an important item in the way of fuel,
though they burn too rapidly to give off
much heat. Cattle feed upon them and
at any time of the year cows and oxen
may be seen nearly up to their backs in
the marshes. For several years the Chill
ilaya bridge across the deep and rapid
Desaguadero River was made entirely of
reeds supported by balsas below, until
the fine new bridge was built few years
ago. AS that river is the dividing line
between Peru and Bolivia, a custom
house is located at each end of the bridge.
If there were any hunters hereabouts
they would find plenty of sport in these
rccdy marshes, where myriads of water
fowl find shelter, among them black and
scarlet ducks, snipe, hcrons, &c. These,
together with variety of fishes, con

the corn crop is precarious, wheat will

GRANTS CoURTsHrP,
Mrs. Grant Tells How the Famous
Soldier Proposed,

One summer day we were going to a
morning wedding, and Lieutenant Grant
was also invited. He came for us on
horseback, and asked my brothers per-
mission to drive me, in exchange for his
saddle, to which he gladly consented.
The day was beautiful, the roads were o
little heavy from previous rain, but the
sun shone in splendor. We had to cross
little bridge that spanned ravine, and,
when we reached it l was surprised and
little concerned to find the gulch swol-
len, a most unusual thing, the water
reaching to the bridge. l noticed, too,
that Lieutenant Grant was very quiet
and that and the high water bothered
me. asked several times if he thought
the water dangerous to breast, and told
him would go back rather than take
any risk. He assured me, in his brief
way, that it was perfectly safe, and in
my heart relied upon him. Just as we
reached the old bridge 1 said: "Now,
if anything happens, remember shall
cling to you, no matter what you say to
the contrary" He simply said: GAN
right" and we were over the planks
in less than a minute. Then his
mood changed, he became more
social, and in asking me to be his wife,
used my threat as a theme. Lieutenant
Grant asked me to set the day. wanted
to be engaged, and told him it would be
much nicer than getting married. SEN
timent he did not much approve. We
were very quiet at the house that evening
and neither said word of the secret.
After supper he went back to the regi-
ment, and few days later General
Taylor sent him to Camp Salubrity, in
Louisiana. He was too shy to ask father,
so he waited till he was stationed and
wrote to him. Father never answered
the letter. I was his favorite daughter,
and he thought army life would not suit
me.
"Besides," said father, "you are too
young, and the boy is too poor. He
hasn't anything to give you."
rose in my wrath, and said | was
poor, too, and hadn't anything to give
him.
The next year he came back on leave
of absence, and can remember just how
he looked as he rode up in his new
uniform. Father was going to Washing
ton on business, and we were all on the
front porch kissing him good-by and
stuffing his pockets with notes of things
he was to buy. Lieutenant Grant asked
for my hand, and he, in a hurry to get
off, consented.
My soldier lover was in and about
Mexico for four years, including the war.
Every mail brought me letter. Every
one of them full of sweet nothings, love
and war and now and then some nressed
leaves and flowers. Some were written
on drumheads captured from the Mexi-
cans, and others on sheets of foolscap,
folded and scaled with red waters.
