ORIGIN OF F00LSCAP PAPER.
Emblem First Made Use OF by crom-
we'll to Show His Contempt for
All Things Royal.

Everyone who has handled paper rec
ognizes foolscap as a sheet 10 by 16
inches. This is used as a standard
size all the world over, officially and
commercially II will therefore be in
teresting TO know where and how this
word originated. After the execution
of Charles l. Cromwell and his staff
In organizing the commonwealth, made
all possible effort to remove every
thing which had anything to do with
the old monarchy. The paper in Off
cial use up to the time had as a water
mark the kings crown; and, when
Cromwell was asked what should be
put in the place OF the crown, to show
his overwhelming dislike for anything
concerning royalty, he directed fools
cap to be put in place of the crown.
This was done. and when Charles IL.
assembled the throne OF England, it was
at first forgotten to replace the cap by
something else, and then. too late, the
king was afraid to do anything TO re-
call things dangerous to touch, and so
1t was neglected and the FOOLS cap
may be seen as a water-mark on near
ly all British official papers.

SERVED AS HIS LADY'S MAID.
Romantic Manner Of Wooing That
Won Love of Young Russian
Widow for Her Admirer.

A ST. Petersburg paper publishes
details of Russian romance in which
figures the wealthy and beautiful
young Baroness Urusotf, the widow Of
a distinguished Russian government
official.
All the young cavaliers of Moscow
we're hopelessly in love with her. The
baroness, however, rejected all at
tempts to obtain an introduction to
her and lived in perfect seclusion, at
tended only by an elderly relative.
Some months ago a young peasant
girl began to visit the residence OF
the baroness, offering the servants
cheap articles for sale. Subsequently
the baroness used to buy different ar
ticles from the peasant, who was in
telligent, had good manners and con-
siderable conversational talents.
Tie baroness eventually asked the
girl whether she woGld enter her serv-
ice as a lady's maid She agreed and
discharged her duties to perfection for
fortnight and then revealed her
self" as young Russian nobleman
named Maximoff, who. taking advan-
tage of his fair hair and complexion,
had masqueraded as a domestic serv-
ant to break down the barriers with
which the beautiful baroness had sur
rounded herself.
The baroness was so much i'm
pressed by his extraordinary perse-
verance that she became engaged to
him, and the marriage took place q
few days ago.

REGARDING AUTO ACCIDENT
Hearing of Public Service Commits
sion on Proctor Fatality

Rutland, May 13.-The public SER
vice commission met here today to
consider an accident and petitions of
the Clarendon & Pittsford and the
Dorset, Manchester & Granville rail
roads for exemption from abolishing
one grade crossing each this year,
The accident was a collision be-
tween a freight train and an automo-
bile at Center Rutland last February
when Herbert Burns of Proctor was
killed and William Squires injured.
John Cannon, an engineer since 1888
who was running the freight testified
tnat when he first saw the automobile
it was running the freight, testified
that when his locomotive was within
30 feet of 1t 1t suddenly jumped for
ward on the track. He applied the
emergency brakes but there was not
time to stop. Squires testified that
because of car on a siding and piles
of marble in the Vermont Marble COM
pany's yard he could not see the ap-
preaching train until it was within
about 40 feet of him. Burns, who was
running the machine, was a novice.
Decisions were reserved in all the
cases.

THE MAPLE SUGAR CROP
Expert Advises Farmers to Sell at
Present Prices.

George C. Cary of ST. Johnsbury the
maple sugar expert, has furnished the
Caledonian the following interesting
summary of this years maple sugar
crop:
The crop of maple sugar produced
this year in Vermont is about an av-
erage crop. II is not as large as last
year, probably about two pounds to
a tree is about the average the state
over. This is as large with two ex-
ceptions as we have had in ten years
that is the year 1907 and 1908, when
we had the largest crop We have had
for Is years past. Ohio had pToduc-
ed the largest crop in its history as
has also Pennsylvania. New York is
about two thirds of what IL was last
year, about an average crop there. In
Canada the crop is very much larger
than last year, and is one of the lar
gest crops they have had there in
good many years. Prices rule very
low in Canada, prices being establish.
ed up there now at 51e cents to the
farmers. What is called the Beauce
block sugar. sells for the highest price
of any sugar on the market, owing to
the strength of its flavor and also TO
the hardness This is all put in
bricks, very much harder than any
thing that is produced on this side of
the border
The large amount of old sugar car
ried over in Vermont, and in fact, all
of the American producing states and
our total available sugar this year in
Vermont is fully up to the total sugar
last year owing to the large amount
that was carried over. At the price
that was established sugar has been
selling very freely indeed. We have
never seen sugar come in as fast as
it has during the last two weeks. The
prices this year are much higher than
a great many were led to believe that
they would be. We can see nothing
in the future that should advance pri-
ces from those prices established ear
ly this season. In fact, prices as es-
tablished are higher than we expect
ed them.
There has not been as much syrup
produced this year as last year, but
the demand on sap syrup is very
much less, and prices rule very much
less than they did last year, and it Is
very hard proposition to market
even at the prices that we bought
for this year. The demand for sug.
ar last year was very much less than
it has been previously, and we see
nothing that will warrant expecting
anything more of demand this year.
1t is our opinion that the farmers will
do well to sell at the present prices.
They had the experience of holding
last year and it did not prove benefc-
ial to them. II looks to us as if the
same conditions would prevail this
year.
