THE WOMEN WHO BUY SHOES.

An old shoe clerk says ga woman
buying shoes will not be reasoned with.
Americans, like the French, have al
ways had q reputation for short feet
not small feet, mind you, broad toes, and
arching instep. Naturally enough they
have been desirous of maintaining this
reputation, and they still cling to the be-
lief that small shoes make small feet
smaller. Whether the shoes are for her
self, her grown daughter, any of their
children, or even the babe in arms, she
insists that they must fit in length and
width. The result is, her own feet are
deformed with bunions, protruding joints
and such swelling from distorted toes
and ingrOwing nails as make her eX-
istence-in a walking boot-a perfect
penance. Poor baby, who grows and
crows by the day, has shoe the exact
length of his little foot. But the foot not
only works down. but grows down also;
there is no room for the lengthening toes,
so the joints are pushed up and there is q
lateral expansion instead of q pushing
down. The consequence is the foot be-
comes broad, the toes are cramped, the
heel fiattened, ankle thickened, and the
natural beauty of that organ lost. This
is all the fault of the mother, who will
not buy the child's shoe long enough %

The Atlantic Civil Rights Suits.
Special to the STATE JOURNAL.
ATLANTIC CRY, Sept. 5.

Special to the STATE JOURNAL.
ATLANTIC CRY, Sept. 5.
The civil rights suit brought by
Chas. G. Edwards,a colored man from
Baltimore, against the proprietors of
Guvernator's and Matters concert
gardens, took another turn to day,
when three we'll known ice cream
dealers were summoned before Judge
Irving on a similar charge The
latter were dismissed, however, the
judge deciding that the new law does
not cover cases of this kind. The
suits against Guvernator and Natter
will come up for trial at the circuit
court of Atlantic county, which meets
on September 9. Edwards has en-.
gagged ex-senator Robson as his
counsel, and expresses his determina-
tion TO make this a test case of the
new law. Suit will also be brought
against the proprietor of an eating
saloon on the board walk and an.
other on Atlantic avenue, on the
same charge. At the time Edwards
was refused admission to Gurverna.
tors be was accompanied by the
daughter of Judge Ruffin, of Boston,
who is described as a handsome and
accomplished mulatto. Ex-Congress-
man John Il. Lynch of Mississippi,
was also recently refused admission
of Guvernator's and he will appear
as a witness for Edwards at the trial
in September.

A free application of soft soap to flesh
burn almost instantly removes the fire
from the flesh, according to a medical
man who had been burned repeatedly
himself If the injury is very severe, as
soon as the pain ceases apply linseed oil
and then dust over with fine flour. When
this last covering dries hard repeat the oil
and flour dressing until a good coating is
obtained. When the latter dries allow it
to stand until it cracks and falls of, as it
will do in day or two, and a new skin
will be found to have formed where the
skin was burned

FLIGHT SHOOTING WITH BOW AND
ARROW.

ARROW.
Longman's Magazine.
No one believes that Robin Hood shot
a mile At the present time distance or
flight-shooting is not much practiced.
The turks have the credit of being able to
shoot vast distances, but amongst the Ot-
lannon's skill in archery seems to be pro-
gressive. Each Sultan on accedingto the
throne is expected to display his prowess
with the bow. He shoots a shaft. and
the distance is measured. Curiously
enough the reigning monarch has al.
ways been found to excel his predeces.
sOrs, so that the record now stands at a
prodigioUs figure 1t is possible that if
the officer whose business it is to measure
the length reported unfavorably on the
monarch's shot, he might find that bow
string in Eastern countries has more uses
than one, and this thought may uncon.
sciously bias his mind. But this is onlv
conjecture Nowadays | imagine that
400 yards is beyond the power Of man to
compass. l have but seldom tried nv
hand at flight shooting, but with light
flight arrows and bow pulling sixty
two pounds | shot 286 yards last April.
The air was nearly calm, and there was
but three or four yards difference in
shooting up and down. With a little
practice l fancy that could reach 800
yards. There are strong men who can
pull bow of seventy pounds or seventy
five. With such weapon they could
probably reach $50 yards, and possibly
more. But when it is measured out 2S6
yards seems long way to send 50 slight
thing as flight arrow, and those who
can follow the shaft in its flight through
the heavens till it finally reaches the
earth have good eyesight

A FEW FACTS ABOUT HORSES.

A horse that may be worth only $500
in the morning, may be worth 50, OOO by
nighteall. 1t was the case with the horse
with the singular name Jay Eyes "
In the meantime he made his mile in 2:10,
and the last half-mile in LOG. Wander
bits Maud S., anOtheTsingular name,
has yet TO have his record beaten, stand
ing to-day as the fastest animal in the
country When it shall be surpassed
Mr.. V. will place him in training
in order that he may beat his
own time and that OF all others, and con-
tinuc at the head. 1t is an unaccountable
fact-at least one that has not been eX
planned, that the horse "Hopeful, with
a record of 2:143, has been sold in New
York, to 90 to Minnesota, for the trifling
sum of $2S, 600. 1t is customary that
such an animal should bring as many
thousands. 1t is intlmated, however,
that he had some serious defect. Horses
that are more or less on pasture, should
be stabbed at least one day before
taking them on long journey. Horses
fed mostly on hay should be careful not
to have too much water. 1t is very
hurtful. Hay, before feeding, may be
idampened with benefit, but not soaked
in water, as some people are in the
habit of doing. 1t should be an object in
raising horses to tame them while they
are colts, beginning when they are quite
young. By patting and rubbing, and
talking to them in q low, soft tone, the
widest dispositioned colts may be made
almost as meek and gentle as kitten.
No animal, in fact, is more susceptible to
kind treatment than a colt which they re-
member well all their lives unless a con-
trary course is pursued BalBy horses
should never be roughly treated. Whip
them and they will never get over it.
Kind treatment, resorts to various little
modes to withdraw their attention from
their sudden obstinacy, will generally
cause them to move on IN little While.
Allowing them to stand, giving them no
attention whatever, will often result in a
balky horse to start on his own account.
Where the business is conducted with
care and economy, and with sufficient
knowledge of it, there is great deal of
profit in stock farms, especially IN raising
horses. But it requires very close atten-
ton. Once reputation IS established
for breeding various classes OF good, re-
liable, fast horses, there is no limit in the
command OF custom.
IT is said that if wheat is to follow oats
or barley that the sooner after harvest the
land is plowed the better the chances for
good seed bed. No matter how dry
and hard the soil be at blowing time,
every fall of rain, however slight, will
moiste the upturned surface. On the
| unplowed lands the heaviest rains will
run off without doing much good

The Cooking sehnnI

The average girl at marriage is well instruct
ed in sewing. To take her place at the head
OF family without fair knowledge of this
useful household art, would be to disgrace her
mother and herself in the minds of all their
acquaintance. The average young bride goes
toa home OF her own with a few practical
ideas on matter which will have to come be-
fore her thrice day, and one in which the
health and general prosperity of herself and
others most essentially depend. Then, IL ever
she acquires even passabls skill,in cookerylit
will doubtlessly be through much wasting and
worrying and manifold non-successes. Mean
time dyspepsia, or other evil angel, is lurking
in the shadow Of her table, To the young wife
and housekeeper so circumstanced half the
terrors of the kitchen are at once removed by
the introduction of the eVer-ready, always re-
liable, Royal Baking Powder. With its prop
or use there can never be failure in bread, bis
cult or cake, while the perfect healthfulness Of
the food produced is likewise SO well assured
that all who partake may defantly snap their
fngers.in theface of old Dyspepsia. This point
gained, the victory over inexperience and bad
luck in other things is speedily won. The
Royal Baking Powder, on account of its supe-
rior powers as a leavsning agent, the great IA
cility with which it may be used, its proved
economy land its thoroughly established whole
aomeness and purity as established by the tests
Of government chemists and others, has be-
come the general substitute for cream of tar
tar and soda in the making of nice, sweet,
light, faky, digestible bread, biscuit, etc.
With its use, the young mistress of the house
may take pardonable pride in the work of
her hands.

CONSOLIDATION.
Opposition to the Movement aud a Bill
i'm Equity Filed.

A bill in equity was filed Saturday by Fran
els W. Hill and four other large stockholders
OF the Maine Central railroad, through their
solicitor, Mr.. Edmond f. Webb of Wsterville,
in the United States Circuit Court at Boston,
against the Eastern, Boston & Maine and
Maine Central railroads, asking an injunction
to restrain the execution of the lease.
The petitioners claim that the lease places
the Maine Central under the control Of the
Boston & Maine, through the majority of the
stock owned by the Eastern, and would enable
the Boston & Maine to elect the board of
directors of the Maine Central and thus set
aside the existing traffic contracts between the
Maine Central and the Eastern, and that un-
Just discrimination against the earnings of the
Maine Central renders 1t incapable Of paying
its dividends and the interest on its bonds.
The bill is brought by minority stockholders,
who allege that the Maine Central rejects
and refuses to act, and cannot act because con
trolled by the Eastern, and bases its cause on a
recent decision of the United States Supreme
Court, that whenever corporation refuses to
act or cannot act because controlled by hostile
influence, the minority stockholders may seek
relief through court of equity. Process has
been served on the Boston & Maine and East
ern, and will be upon the Maine Central
Immediately.
The case comes up for hearing June 2.
Other eminent counsel will, it is understood,
be associated with Mr.. Webb.

On Saturday last hearing was had before
Judge Lowell at Boston on the form of the
decree confirming the appointment of Sam
uel j. Anderson as receiver of the Portland
and Ogdensburg, and authorizing the issue of
certificates for loan. The application for
the appointment was made by the trustees of
the second mortgage who had been made par
ties defendant in the suit brought by the Mer.
camille Trust Company of New York, as hold
ers of $4,000 of the second mortgage bonds,
to obtain foreclosure Of the mortgage on 80
much of the road as lies in New Hampshire.
The appointment of receiver was opposed by
the Mercantile Trust Company at hearing
held on the 9Th inst. at Portsmouth, but the
decree of the Maine Court was approved and
confirmed by Judge Lowell. The result of
the hearing at Boston was that the decree
was settled substantially in the form asked for
by the counsel of the trustees, and the court
rejected the amendments offered by the Mer-
camille Trust Company, which commended that
the receivers certificates were not needed for
repairs on the mountain section and should be
made lien only on the portion of the road
lying in Maine, The evidence, however,
nAOWou 1nhb LOW Ehll6 anu repairs vi uIAu&cb
were needed along the entire line of the road
and the decree of Judge Lowell confirms the
decree of Judge Walton making the receivers
certificates first lien on all the property Of
the company.

I'm memnriam.

The announcement of the death of Miss
Sue Stearns Dennison will be read with much
regret by her many friends in this city and
elsewhere. Educated in our public schools,
she early excelled in all her studies, but
especially in Greek and Latin. Her proficiency
in these studies was so marked that after one
year spent as a student in Colby University,
and another as teacher in one of our Portland
schools, Miss Dennison, by the advice of Rev.
DIR. Hill and other friends, repaired to Cam
bridge, and in the Harvard Annex dis
tinguished herself, winning the highest en-
comiums from the professors of that ancient
university.
After completing the course of study she
had marked out for herself, Miss Dennison
accepted an invitation to teach the classics in
young ladies' collegiate school at Indianapo-
lis, Ind.
In that city she was received with great
favor, endearing herself to her pupils and
enjoying the confidence of their parents in an
unusual degree. High as were the anticipa-
tions based upon the reports which had pre-
coded her to that city, they were more than
realized, and Miss Dennison had already
attained reputation both as a student and
teacher when she was struck down by the
illness which caused her return to Portland
year and a half ago. II will be q satisfaction
to many to know that, in the opinion of her
physician, this illness was not occasioned by
application to study, as some have supposed.
During Miss Dennisons gradual and painful
decline, she has touched all hearts by her
patience, resignation and entire submission to
the will OF God. A Christian from early
childhood, throughout these wealisome months
past she has borne the fruits of righteousness
and exemplifed the graces of the Christian
character In manner which deeply affected
her family and other friends.
The last two weeks Of her life she lay per-
fectly quiet, ready and anxious to depart this
life whenever it should please God to release
her. No one who saw her during the few
weeks past can fail to retain through life the
memory Of a sainted sufferer
Happily her bodily sufferings almost entirely
ceased as the end drew near, and her mentsl
faculties were not in the least obscured She
repeatedly expressed her sense of the goodness
OF God in permitting her return to the home
of her childhood, where she had received every
sttention that affection could suggest. Thus
she departed with the full assurance that
being free from the burden of the flesh she
should be with God in joy and felicity, enter
ing on higher work and purer worship than Is
possible to Us on earth.
Her parents and family have the tender
sympathy of many friends in their great
bereavement, who in a manner share their
grief. D.
