Maine Horses

Mr.. George w. Bishop. well-known
dealer in native stock, and who crosses
the ocean frequently to purchase European
horses, said to Sun reporter during a
recent chat about American coaches:
There is a remarkable call for fine
coach horses. We can't supply one e-quarter
of the demand. Down tn Maine they are
beginning to breed horses again that were
| in fashion twenty-five years ago. Maine
horses step through the snow so much that
| it causes them to move their shoulders
more freely than those raised in warmer
climates, This makes their chests broader
and their muscles stronger and more flex-
ible and imparts great knee action"
"What stock are they bred fromp"
1.-The old Morgan cross. Knox, Flying
Eaton and the Drew stock. They make
the best coachers OF any country. They
have wonderful high action, are always
level headed. and possess remarkable in
telllgence. without any foolishness. You
rarely find one that lady can't drive.
Kentucky contributes some very fine
horses, but they have not the intelligence
and even disposition OF Maine horses.
They are now breeding Hambletonian
with thoroughbred stock. This makes
more symmetrical and finer type"
| "Who owns the finest coaching team
here-abouts p''
"Well, have seen the best four-in-hands
in England and France at the races, and
can confidently say that no team has ever
been shown in Europe equal to Mr.. Loril-
lard's four browns. They are Maine
horses. Every one of them can trot better
than three minutes. 1t is an easy matter
for them. with sixteen passengers on the
coach. over good road, such as they
have in England. to jog off twelve miles
an hour without rising a hair.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1884-02-09
Married by Proxy.

Among the cabin passengers on barqus
Veronica, which arrived at this port from
Faval yesterday morning, was young lady
perhaps twenty years Of age, quite pretty.
who was registered on the passenger list BY
the modest title of Louisa Augusta de Oliv-
era. This young lady was married at the
islands several weeks ago, yet singularly the
| first glimpse of her husband was obtained
through the cabin window of the Veronica,
as he stood upon the propeller wharf impa-
tiently waiting for the vessel to come along
side the dock.
The steward of the Veronica explained 70
a reporter that marriage by proxy was not
an uncommon thing among the islanders. IL
is becoming popular. for wors, than awk-
ward results have frequently followed where
the girls have travelled a long distance 70
meet the man to whom she 10 betrothed, and
the latter refuses to marry because the
young lady does not realize his anticipations.
Careful mothers are accordingly averse 70
sending away their daughters on this G. O. d.
subject to approval principle, and now de-
mand some guarantee of good faith.
The coartship in the present instance vas
conducted by friends Of the young lady and
gentleman. Photographs were exchanged
and the contract was made. The bridegroom
forwarded a power Of attorney, and the cere-
money Of marriage was performed BY q
priest at Fayal, marrying the young girl TO .
man thousands of miles away. The play Of
Hamlet with Hamlet left out can be no COM
parison to a wedding without bridegroom.
With her marriage certifcate the young
lady engaged passage on the Veronica, and
exhibited some impatience, 10 the steward
says, at the length of the passage. Az the
vessel came up the harbor she grew pardona-
bly, anxious, and scanned the wharf iutently
as the vessel was docked. At length young
man came into the cabin, and said man on
wharf sent him to see il his wife was aboard.
The steward asked him to point out the man,
which he did. The girl exhibited the livsli-
est interest, and looked her husband over
with a critical and. on the whole, approving
eye.
| The messenger returned with the husband
the girl blushed, the husband smiled, and they
prosaically shook hands. Each was appaf2
emily completely satisfied with their venture,
and the husband bore his young wife proudly
away.

What to do in an Emergency.

WoUNDs.-Close wound quickly, and
apply adhesive plaster if it bleeds to free
ly, apply compress over 1t, with band
age; if this fails, tie a bandage tight
around the limb. above the wound.
FAINTING.-Place the patient on the
back. with the head lower than the body,
if convenient. Give plenty OF air by
tanning; dash cold water in the face ;
smell Of hartshorn or camphor. Give am
monia or spirits.
PorsoN.-If poisoniof any kind has been
taken into the stomach, an emetic should
be given as quickly as possible. Mustard
and warm water, or salt and warm water,
or ipecac, are effectual. OF the latter,
give sixty grains. IF vomiting. drink Free
ly of warm water or warm milk, until the
stomach is Thoroughly washed out.
BURSs.-If clothing takes fire. the per-
son should be thrown to the ground or
floor and without delay rolled in the car
pet or hearth-rug to stifie the flames. II
no carpet or rug is at hand. use your coat
instead. Keep the flames from the face
and lungs as much as possible. You can
generally accomplish this by beginning TO
wrap about the ne TX and shoulders first.
EYEs.-If particles of cinder or dust get
into the eyes. they can generally be re-
moved by holding knitting-needle or a
small stick over the upper lid, close to or
under the edge of the orbit then. holding
it firmly, gently turn the lid upward and
backwar over the needle or stick. the
eye-ball is moved by the sfferer, the sub
stance is revealed, and can be removed
by the corner of silk or linen handker-
chief.
DRowNrNG.-As soon as the body is re-
covered, it should be stripped Of all cloth
ing. rapidly dried, placed on bed previ.
ously warmed. the head, neck and
shoulders raised little, friction with the
dry hands used to the extremities, ant
heated flannels kept applied to the rest o1
the body. To restore breathing, place the
person fat on the face, press gently on ths
back. then turn the body little on il.
side or little beyond then turn again OF
the face. press again osSthe back, ant
turn again on he side. This should b,
done about 16 times minute.
