Senator Proctor aud Porto Rico.

1t is very evident that Senator Proctor
is making a vigorous fight for the adop-
ton of President McKinlcy's original re-
uommondation for tho extension Of our
,ariff laws to Porto Rico, or in other
words, the establishment of free trade be-
tween that island and other American
territory. When he told the republican
caucus that Vermont was for free trade
with Porto Rico and that he could not
accept anything else he took a position
in which he knew he would be fully sus-
tanned not only by his own nsu;uents
but also by a. Vey considerable proportion
Of the republicans throughout the country.
The character of work which Senator
Proctor is doing in this good cause is in
dictated by the Washington correspondent
Of the Boston Herald in the following
statement written on Saturday,
Senators Proctor of Vermont and Ell
kins of West Virginia, who are regarded
Is among the shreWdost politicians in the

HISTORY OF THE TYPEWRITER.
Having Been Made in 1714-A Ver-
mont Inventor.

The typewriter is not an absolutely new
invention, as the first machine WAS made
in 17l4 by Henry Mills, am Englishman.
The first model exhibited at the United
States patent Office was made III 1879 by
w. A. Burt. 1t consisted of IL box on
which there was a dial like a clock. 1t
was fair type OF the lever machine of
to-day. a Frenchman named Projin in
vented a machine and the inventor claim
ed for it that it could print almost as rap
idly al a person could write. Projins ma
chine wrote music.
Foucault, another Frenchman. invent
ed in 1910 machine for his blind pupils
in Paris.
In 1913 G, Thurbcr invented the second
American typewrlting machine. 1t was
intended to write on books, and had a self
linking ribbon 1t was intended for the
use of the blind, for those who could not
write by hand very well, and for nervous
people. The method of spacing was very
simple. In 1916 this machine was inn
proved.
The third American invention was too
complicated to be of any service. 1t was
operated by wheels and had an up and
down as well right and left movement.
Dr. 5. W. Francis of New York introduc ed
the keyboard, like a piano, and his in
Vcntion marked n great advance in the
typewriting machine.
In 1853 Thomas Hail of New York bought
Francis patent. Tho next invention was
a rather unique one Ii was a machine &c
be carried in ones pocket, and the inven.
tor was Benjamin Livermore of Vermont
II had eight keys, and the letters were
made in parts.
The machine made by Sholes, Gliddon &
Soule of Milwaukee had important inn
proVcments. and the machine invented by
G. A. Washburn was largely on the line
of the Oliver typewriter.

Russia's Demands of Turkey.

1t has been generally assmed that Rus
STA desired to take advantage of the oc-
cupation Of Engand's attention in Sou,h
Africa by encroaching upon new territory
in farther ASIA, but while the Cars ennis
saries may be at work in that direction
as ever it Is evident that the ST. Peters,
burg government has in hand important
designs nearer home. 1t will be remem-
bered that tho Russian government
short time since maize demand upon
Turkey for exclusive railway rights in
Asia Minor but that the Sultan was not
inclined to yic.d tc the Cars demands.
1T is now stated that the sublime porte
mas proposed a compromise whereby the
aihoads in the territory in question would
he constructed by Russia and Turkey IN
partnership, but the Russian embassy IN
sists upon the original demands, which
the Turkish military commission strcnu-
/ ously opposes.
| The presumptuous character OF Rus
STA 5 demands in this instance can be real
lied only when we consider what our feel
ings would be We're Canada for example
to insist upon the right to exclusive rail-
road privileges in any of our territory
along our northern border. We would OF
course regard such demand as theheight
OF presumption and an outrage and thc
Turks undoubtedly look in similar man
ner upon the cars railroad requests.
The chauces are of course that these de-
mands are made by Russia merely as a
preliminary step TO the acquisition of VAL
liable territory in the Balkan peninsula.
A hint in this direction is furnished by
the St. Petersburg correspondent of IA
Berlin newspaper VIII" says that Russia
although tacitiy encouraging the champi-
ons of Bulgarian Independence does not
cor slider the time proptious for any action
she hopes to bring pressure to bear upon
Turkey in the railroad question but should
she fail to secure the required concessions
, important events may be expected in the
. Balkans" He adds that the repatriation
, of the Armenian refugees sim furnishes
Russia with a good diplomatic weapon
wherewith to obtain her demands,
, This view is confirmed by the Vienna
Volksblatt, which il discussing editoriallS
the rumor that Austria Hungary has de,
signs on the Turkish province OF Albania
. calls attention to the fact that the acqus
- ton of this choice slice Of Balkan terri

SHALL WOEM-E EATEN NAPLES BE
TAPPED THIS SPRING?

This question is being asked SO frequent-
ly and so earnestly that the following
opinion is given in reply by the Vermont
experiment station:
Whether or not to tap will depend upon
circumstances of which the sugar-maker
is the best judge. His decision should be
influenced by the following considerations.
The sugar is the reserve food o. the tree
stored last season to feed the buds this
coming spring The amount OF sugar
taken from an ordinary maple tree by
tapping is from two to four per cent OF its
total sugar content. This is so small n
fraction as usually to cause no apprc cia-
Bile loss to the tree. But if the tree has
been so badly eaten by worms during The
past seasons as to have its life endan-
gered it might be undesirable to make
even this small drain which would some
what decrease the chances of life for the
tree.
II is to be remembered however. in his
connection that all of the stored sugar
was manufactured in the green leaves last
season. Now If those leaves were eaten
by the worms there would be proportion
ately less sugar in the sap, and in case
tho damage to the foliage was really seri-
Gus the sap will be of so low quality as
regards sugar content that it will not pay
to tap the trees in any case. ON the other
hand if there Is enough sugar present 20
make tapping profitable, then there is
enough SO that the removal of the two
to four per cent will not appreciably affect
the tree.
1t is believed. therefore, that the safest
way for one who is in doubt is to deter
mine the quality of the sap from his trees,
selecting several representative trees and
taking samples from these before tapping
the remainder If the sap is of good quail
ity he may safely tap. IT, however, it is
of poor oualty-that is, deficient in sugar
it will be both unsafe and unprofita able
to tap,
The directions may be tersely put thus:
Tap if there is sugar enough to make it
pay to do so,

Sleeplessness marks the very climax
Of human suffering. 1t is only step
removed from insanity. When sleep no
longer restores the exhausted nature, the
struggle with disease cannot last long.
The starting point of the nervous dis
orders which produce i'll health and
sleeplessness, is generally diseased

store these organs to sound health and
