from June, 1913, TO June, 1851; of which
nearly two-thirds were received in the port
of New York. The commercial and ship
ping interest is, therefore, seriously involved
in this question. The revenue and the right
Of Congress alone to "regulate trade and

agricultural interest of this State would be
affected, the following important extract
from the minority report will show
We beg 10 preserve some brief but con-
elusive statistics which we have obtained by

of evidence, it appears that the amount Of

New YoRK Observation-Disclosures LIQUOR
misunderstanding the numerous petit
tons which have been sent to the New \ ork
legislature, in favor of the passage of the
Maine liquor law, we doubt whether it will
be passed during the present session: The
New York Tribune states that the lcgisla-
turc has been already in session eighty-tivc
days, and that members cannot receive pay
for more than one hundred days-of course
only fifteen days remain of the session, as
members will not continue in session one
day after the stoppage Of their per diem.
The Tribune says: "two thirds OF the pro-
per business of the session remains unactcd
on nine-tcnths of it undisposed Of" Such
being the case, it is not probable the Maine
liquor law will BE- acted upon in both houses.

LADIES SHoEs-If shoes were constructed
of the shape of the human foot, neither too
lagc nor too small, and making an equal pres
sure every where, corns and bunions of the
feet would never exist. But unfortunately
shoes are seldom made after this fashion,
and in ladies shoes especially there are two
single defccts-frst the extremity of the
shoes is much two narrow for that part of
the foot (namcly the tocs,) which it is 10
contain: and, secondly, for the purpose of
displaying rs much of the foot as possible,
the whole of the tarsus and metarsus is left
uncovered, and the pressure of the shoe in
front is thrown entirely upon the toes. The
toes are thus squeezed against each other,
and pushed out Iof their natural position ;
and all the projecting points, chiefly where
the joints are situated. are pinchcd and tor
mrnlcd either by the ncighboring toes or by
the leather of the shoe; and thus it is that
corns on the feet are generated.

MAINE ELEcrIos.-The house OF representatives in

which will give our friends a majority oil in that body

OF representatives SHALL by ballot from the persons

their TO the senate of whom the senate shall by

The result OF the election, therefore, when completed,
will give the democracy the control Of all branches OF the
State government
The State OF Maine now has members OF Con.
