WALKING ON THE WATER.
Professor oIdrieve Gives Fiue Exhibition
at Peaks Island

"a great success was the universal
verdict of the large. number of people
that witnessed Professor Oldrieve's exhi-
bition at Peaks Island yesterday after
noon. The Professor uses a pair OF
miniature wooden boats attached to his
feet, and walks about upon the water
with impunity. He gave very interest
ing show, performing many feats, and
the performance wound up with minia-
ture naval engagement between three
small United States gunboats on one
side and the Professor on the other. The
boats kept up a noble fight for some
time, and pelted the Professor with shot,
but finally succumbed and were blown
into atoms by the Professors torpedos.
The exhibition must be seen to be APP
preciated, for it cannot well be described
1t wih be repeated next Saturday, and
no one should miss it.

The Brass Grinders.

''Pve seen man grind brass with the
blood dripping from his nose all day
long, said one of Portland's brass and
iron dealers the other day. Perhaps no
occupation is more injurious to the
workman's health than grinding brass.
The air'is filled with PARTICLES of the en-
cry wheel and the brass, and they are of
course, inhaled by the workmen. The
result with novice and with veteran,
when beginning work, is bleeding at the
nose and lungs for several days. Then
the bleeding stops, the respiratory pas
sages having become apparently cauter-
ICED. Whether the flow Of blood is sim
ply the result of the irritation of the
physical contact of the metallic particles
or whether the brass acts as poison, we
do not know. But certain it is that
these brass grinders are very short

years. III the larger cities they are now.
wearing a protector over the mouth and
nose, but those in Portland do not, for
no other reason than disinclination to
bother with it and disregard of conse-
quences. But why do men engage in
this dangerous work? Because they
make good wages. They work by the
piece, and with plenty to do can make
sometimes $40 week Itshould be adj
ded that sometimes the particles of brass
pass into the stomach and bowels and
cause hemorrhage there.

ELEGANT CARRIAGEANDA GOWN.
other places where the air is laden with
life giving, salt sea breezes. Still there
are certain old families who think Sara
toga is next door to paradise, and to
them Newport and the rest are but up
starts.
The ladies who come to Saratoga dress
as well now rs ever, and I think some of
them make point of dressing more
deliberately than the wealthiest New
port habitue. At any rate you will see
at Saratoga lovely long trailing gowns,
stately and graceful. You will entangle
your eyes if not your heart in intricate
lace patterns and be enchanted with the
exquisite, if fragile, delicacy Of every
thing the ladies wear On the seacoast
the air is too damp for crisp muslin
and fine laces, and it is too cool for them
in the mountains, SO if one wants to find
the oft mentioned, true summer girl
here is where she is at her very best.
There are the races and drives and the
delightful hop and garden parties, and
there are nice promenades that are kept

her daintiest dress without fear of dirt.
And then there are the long afternoons
on the piazzas, where each woman has a
chance to show her gowns to their best
advantage and take mental note of those
Of her neighbors.
One very swell dress struck my fancy
for what is little out of the common,
while being very handsome in all other
ways. This was worn by a beautiful
young lady descendant of an old Vir-
ginia family, and report says that her
mother, her grandmother and her great
grandmother all became engaged in Sar-
atoga. This young lady is married, SO
any romance on that score is out of the
question. The gown was of india silk,
with large pattern of delicate purple
heather on cream ground. All around
the long train was a, double ruffie bound
with cream white satin ribbon, and the
edge was stiffened SO as to stand upright
in sort of fnted pattern. The upper
sleeves were made with three loose rufiies
overland with others Of duchess lace. The
corsage was draped across the bust in
the most graceful manner and held and
belted by pale mauve bows. The dainty
bonnet was of mauve velvet, with purple
and white heather and velvet strings.
The gloves were long pearl, undressed
kid, and the parasolwas of mauve silk COW
ered-or, as one lady said, overwhelmed
with fine white lace, and there was a
bunch of heather tied with a mauve satin
ribbon to the top of the parasol-alto-
gether a lovely gown for carriage or
promenade at summer resort.
A new style called the Bulgarian has
broken out, and out of ten women you
will find five of them in this kind of a
gown at from 8 to 8 p. m. One was Of
black satin as to skirt and bodice, which
was cut down half low in the neck, and
magenta surah as to sleeves, which were
double puffs and reached only to the ell
bows. From the shoulders to the bottom
of the demitrain there was loose fall of
black lace, not meeting in front, but
falling down straight from the front
like the loose sacks the Bulgarian wom-

a standstill Yesterday d hitting Sullivan

one inning. The Portlands had every

five clean hits.

The Case of Mr.. Thurston.

The story has been current that Mr..
Samuel Thurston has been seen in this
vicinity several times since his disap-
pearance in the White Mountains. But
his family and friends state that they
have not seen him, and that they do not
know where he is. 1t is generally be-
lieyed that he is alive. His bushes af-
fairs are badly complicated, and it is said
there is impending against him at least
one lawsuit

the underdress Of pink challie accor-
dion plated. belted in with resada green
satin. There was full lace bertha, fas-
tened with a pink bow. Over this was
a black brussels net lace bulgar, hang
ing loosely in the same manner as the
other one, with the difference that there
were loose falls of the lace, forming
sleeves. Around this and in four lines
around the bottom were insertions of
white lace sewn on fat. Some have the
bulgar of tissue and some of china silk
fancifully embroidered. They can be
made separate from any costume and
worn with it. OLIVE HARPER.

A GLORIOUS DAY
Added to the Attractions at the Fair of
the Cumberland Farmers.

The Cumberland Farmers Club had
the good luck yesterday of as beautiful
a summer day as could have been made
to order for them. There was decided
improvement and increase in the hall
display, particularly in the way of fruit
and the handiwork of the ladies', The
hall presents a very pretty appearance
below, and nearly 500 people enjoyed q
good old fashioned dinner above.
The Ladies' Contest.
The ladies' Harvesting, driving and un-
Harvesting contest was between Mrs.
Milton Douglass Of South Windham and
Mrs. M. C. Morrill, of Gray. Mrs. Doug
lass started first, and harnessed her
horse, drove half mile and embarrassed
in 3.11. Mrs. Morrill,, who was close be-
hind, occupied 500. Both horses were
PAGERS and went steadily. The ladies
were cool and made no mistakes. The
time for the feat is the best ever made in
the state. In Harvesting Mrs. Douglass
was but 10 seconds and Mrs. Morrill, 123
seconds.
The Races.
There was large attendance in the af-
ternoon to witness the races, and the
grand stand was full. There were hun
dreds of vehicles of different descrip-
ton scattered around the park, and peo-
pie on foot were everywhere. The at
tendance must have been in the thou
sands. Tony Clark's band discoursed
pleasing music.
The Judges were the same as on Tues
day-Messrs. Samuel Pompilly of Lew
iston (starter), and Edward Cobb and
William M. Irish of Deering associates
and timerS).
Green Horses.
The first race called was for green
horses, or horses that had never trotted
for money. The races was uneventful,
and easily won by Susie, who captured
two of the heats in the three minute
class on the previous day. The summa-
ry follows:
GREEN HoRsES-PURsE $75.
Ethel b m. W. D. Ramsdell. ............2 8 8
Bessie c, 6 IN, F. Maxwell. ...........3 2 2
Susie br m, Charles Cobb. .........l l 1
Topsy ................. ...........,4 DIR
Time-2.52, 2.441a. 2.477a.
The Two-Forty Glass
This proved well contested race and
afforded much interest to the spectators.
Glendale, son of Glenarm. captured the
first heat but dropped to third place in
the second. He rallied. however, and
won the third and fourth heats. The first
heat was justly given to him for square
and honest trotting, although his running
and skipping rival finished half length
ahead. This decision met general APP
proval and there was really no other
course for the judges under the laws of
the track.

Besides that, though, he gets "mu-
dakhil" This means the servants
commission on everything you pur-
chase, and this, of course, varies ac-
cording to circumstances. Ten per
cent. is held to be low 'smudakhil, y
20 is considered permissible, but 40 or
SO per cent. is deemed theft and swim

well recognized part Of Persian GUS
toms, and everybody understands it so
we'll that even if the master should, in
exceptional cases, take the trouble to
purchase the goods in question him
sell, the dealer will always include in
the purchase price the ''mudakhil" for
the servant, to be paid the latter on
the nail as soon after the sale as he
chooses to call for it.
The Persian servant is not very
superior article. Heis lazy, dishonest,
slow, unreliable, untruthful and de-
cidedly slovenly in his personal habits.
Besides, he is horribly familiar. He
identifies himself so wholly with your
person and interests that he will in
terrupt your conversation, do things
in your name you never wanted him to,
promise or deny vicariously and with
the utmost show of authority. On the
other hand, he is very faithful and.
humble. II you pay him his due, let
him appropriate what he considers his
rightful share Of your wealth, and are
not cruelty unjust to him, he will
stand anything from you without bear

and whipped within. an inch OF his life.

It is not in this country alone, as
many badgered and worried American
housewives are too prone to assume,
that the domestic help question serves
as a constant irritant and reminder Of
the imperfections of everything mum
dane. The servant question, in fact,
is favorite topic and popular prob
lem everywhere, in the old world as
much as in the new. The difference
comes in when the qualities of the
servants are considered, as well as the
prevailing methods of treating them.
And here is where the orient offers the
most striking contrast.
The most efficient servants in the
whole east are Greeks. Strange that
the descendants of that plucky little
nation which once filed the world
with glory everlasting should now be
content to do mental service for the
descendants of predatory hordes that
were not even mentioned in the pages
of history until long after Greece's
