What a DunLard Preacher says
of Eer. EsenniSOn.
From the EVANGELIST.

From the Evangelist.
l notice an advertisement in your paper
from DR.. Dennison, of Troy, Ohio, the catarrh
specialist, and l wish to say something about
the doctor and his cures. First, want to say
that he cured myself. have had catarrh for
ten years and tried many remedies and took
treatment from several physicians, but failed
in getting any relief until | tried DR.. Denni-
son, and to say that he helped me would not
be doing justice. / am cured sound and well,
and l am not the only one in Troy, but many
more of my friends have also been cured.
Mr.. Benjamin Carver, a man above seventy
years of age is cured of deafness. Mr.. Carver
informed ne that he had not heard thunder
for thirty years, and now he hears as well as
when he was a young man. Mr.. Andy Shid-
aker, a retired merchant of Troy, was cured
of catarrh in its worst form, and / could men,
ton a dozen of cases. / firmly believe that
DR.. Dennison can cure any case that is en-
trusted in his care. write this for the ben
eft of those of my brethren who are suffering
with the dreadful disease of catarrh, and rest
assured he will do all he claims. l know not
who will read this, but l am confident no one
will be deceived, for l cannot recommend him
too highly.

herself as well satisfied with the treatment
thus far, and hopes soon to be restored te

The NIerrie Archers.

The Seventh Annual target meeting of the
Archers of the United States, was held here
last week in the Ball Park. The place is a
beautiful one for a shoot and as the Merrie
Bowmen had never been recognized by a home
meeting and as the members of our home club
stand at the head of Archers of America, the
association voted the meeting to Eaton. To
say that the meeting excelled the one held at
Pullman, ILL.,, last year. would be putting it
very mild. The merry company that assem-
bled here last week were all gentlemen and
ladies of the first class, and conducted them
selves as such. The first and second days
were beautiful days for the shoot, but the last
day was too windy, but in the evening the
wind ceased to blow and the archers did good
shooting. The people of Eaton treated the
visitors in royal style and deserve much
praise for it. Private citizens not only lent
their horses and carriages for the pleasure of
the clubs; but Recorder zimmerman, Sheriff
Peters and John Lander headed a committee
and solicited funds enough to give a banquet
in honor of the meeting which will always be
remembered by the archers as a pleasant recol-
lection. Mayor Marsh, Rev. W. II. Orr, and
NJ. l.. Holt made nice little speeches at the
presentation of the medals.
The reader can see from the score hat Col.
R.. Williams won the two champion medals at
the York and the American Rounds respect
fully. The only mistake made by the Eaton
team was that they did not select their best
archers to shoot in their first team, consequent
ly they dropped down to third place when they
should have had first or second.

Excitement over n Marvellous
Cure in England.

The newspapers of Great Britain are filed
with accounts of the wonderful recovery of a
young man who had been so i'll with asthma
and rheumatism that he was not able to lie
down in bed for nine long years. This cure
was due to the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, N.
Y. They say that this, like nearly all others,
was the result of Indigestion, and that the
fected this wonderful cure by restoring the
digestive organs to a healthy condition, obvi-
ating entirely those disagreeable turns of sick
headache, biliousness, &c. The Shakers say
they have spent fifty years in perfecting this
remedy for Dyspepsia, and that its effects up
on the digestive organs is something wonder

This report should not be closed without
the mention of the young ladies who made up
the Eaton Team and had nerve enough to
shoot in public. Miss VanAusdal shot with
great skill, as can be seen by her score. Miss
Carrie Williams, Miss Laura Hunt, and Miss
Kittie Campbell are young archers, but every
one who watched them remarked that from
the beauty and grace with. they shot, a
great future in archery awaited them. Our
people are now thoroughly awake on the sub
lject, and the State meeting to be held next
month will be attends largely by the inter
ested.
The banquet and supper given by the citi-
zens will not be forgotten by the archers when
the Eaton people meet elsewhere. All honor

music for the archers. The prizes were dis.

L.. Holt, Rev. Orr and others. Taking it all
in all no tournament ever received as much
attention from citizens, or was there ever a
more spirited contest held.
Mr.. W. H. Thompson and others made spe.
cial mention of the high order of archery as 8
pastime. 1t calling out the best class of citi-
zens of a place, and being the most healthfu
and enjoyable pastime in which people can en-

would only take the time to practice instead
of willing it away foolishly and indiferently
Then let's away, then let's away,

Deer Hunting In Yucatnn.

Those of our readers who think hunting
is tame sport unless accompanied by q
"spicc of danger" arc advised to 60 to
Yucatan. Alice D. lie Plongeon says
that deer abound in the ncigborhood Of
Abala. In hunting them, several men
place themselves so as to form and eX-
tended circle, within shooting distance
of each other. a few 60 within the cir
Gle and make as many discordant sounds
as they can summon to their lips, so as
to brighten all living things under the
brush. Startled, the game seeks safety
in flight. Then the men near whom the
game happens to pass, shoot, sometimes
wounding dangerously or killing a COM
panion, particularly when, as on some
occasions, the circle closes in to bring
all the game to one spot. Owing to the
danger incurred in the hunt, it has been
prohibited, but the Indians are very 10th
to give up the customs Of their an
c%cstors, and in the villages no one inter-
fcres with them. Ten, twelve, and even
more deer arc caught at once; then
the hunters cook them; otherwise the
meat would not keep fresh until sold.
The cooking is done in the following
manner: \ hole two o three feet deep is
made in the ground, and large stones
placed in the bottom; on them a fire is
built. When the stones are very hot some
arc taken out. Plaintain leaves are
spread wei those that remain, and the
animal having been stripped Of its skin,
is laid thereon. Other plantain leaves
arc put over it, the hot stones that have
been taken out, and over all, earth. In
two OF three hours the deer is thoroughly
cooked, and is very tender and juicy.
The deer skin when tanned is worth
three or four dollars. 1t is used for
making boots, large numbers being OK.

The Gum Crop.

This is 4 great gum year in Maine,
especially on the Pcnobscot. The logs,
knees and bark arc not the only valuable
parts Of the great timber tree, for the
gum is worth considerable ever in its
rough state, just as it is hacked from
the crotches of the old trees.
There arc two or three firms in Maine
which buy large quantities of it from
lumbcrmen and gum hunters for the
purpose of refining it, rs they say. But
as a general thing the refining consists
in adultcration with resin. They throw
it into q big kettle. bark and all, and
boil it into about the consistency of
thick molasscs, Swimming the impurities
off as they rise to the surface. Then, if
the purpose be to adultcrate, some lard
or grease and a lot of resin is added, and
in some cases a little sugar. The mix
turc then becomes thicker, and after
more stirring is poured out on a slab,
where, while it is yet hot it is rolled out
in Il sheet about a quarter of an inch
thick, and then chopped with a steel
die into pieces half Oh inch wide and
threc-guartcrs of an inch long. These
pieces arc wrapped in tissue paper and
in wooden boxes. There arc
200 pieces in Il box.
Some gum is treated in this way with
out adultcration. The best gum comes
from no particular locality, but always
from the biggest trees. The loggcrs. in
their many idle hours by the camp fire,
out miniature barrels from blocks
of cedar or white pine, hollow them out
and fill them with the choicest gum the
woods afford for gifts to their sweet
children or friends when they
leone down in the spring. --Fortland

Not q POetical Plant.

On most English pcaty patches there
grows q little reddish lcavcd, odd look
ing plant known as sundew. 1t is but
nm i]nconspicuous small weed, and yet
literary and scientific honors have been
hcapcd upon its head to an extent almost
unknown in the case of almost any other
member of the British floral common
wealth. Mr.. Swinburnc has addressed
an ode to it, and Mr.. Darwin has written
O learned book about it. Its portrait has
been sketched by innumerablc artists
and its biography narrated by innumcra-
bic authors. And all this attention has
been showcred upon it not because it is
beautiful. or good, or modest, or retiring,
but simply and solely because it is afro
cious and deliberately wicked. Like the
late Mr.. Peace and the heroes of the
Newgatc calendar, it owes its vogue en-
tirely to its murderous propensities. Sum-
dew, in fact, is the best known and most
easily accessible of the carnivorous and
iuscctivorous plants. The leaf of the SUM-
dew is round and fat, and is covered by
q number of small red glands; which
act as the attractive advertise
ment to the misguided midges.
Their knobby ends are covered with a
g,utinous secretion which glistcns like
honey in the sunlight, and so gains for
the plant its common English name.
But the moment q hap,ess fly, attracted
by hopes of meat or nectar, settles quietly
in its midst, on hospitable thoughts in
tent, the viscid liquid holds him tight
Immediately, and clogs lis legs and
wings, so that he is shared exactly rs a
p%crcgrinc is shared with bird lime. Then
the leaf with all its ''rcdlipped mouths"
q will own up that the expression is Mr..
Swinburne's, ubi supra) closes over him
slowly but surely, and brushes him by
folding its chgas inward gradually to-
ward the center. The fly often fingers
long with Intellectual struggles. while the
cruel, crawling leaf pours forth a digcs-
tive tluid-a vegetable gastric juice as it
were-and dissolvcs him alive piccemcal
in its hundred clutching suckers. I have
seen this mute tragedy enacted a thous-
and times over on the bogs and moor
lands; and though l often try to release
the fresh flies from their CHASTITY living
but inanim.atc prison, it is impossible to
90 around all the plants on a whole com.
mon, like a philodiptcrous Howard,
amcliorating the condition of the victims
of misplaced confidence in the good in
tcntions of the trcacherous sundew.-

Care OF the Piano.

ANY hard substance, no matter how
small, dropped inside a piano, will cause
n rafting. Earring noise. 1t is, in every
case, desirable that an India rubber or
cloth cover should protect the instrn.
mcnt from bruises and scratches. The
piano should not be placed in q damp
room or left open in a draught of cold
air. Dampness is its most dangerous
enemy, causing its strings and tuning
pipes to rust, the cloth used in construc-
ton of the keys and action to swell,
whereby the mechanism will move slug
gishly or often stick altogether. This
occurs chiefly in the summer season, and
the best pianos are necessarily affected
by dampness, the absorption being rapid.
Extreme heat being scarcely less iniu.
rious. tbs piano should not be placed
very near an open fire or heated stove,
nor over or close. to the hot air furnace.
Moths are very destructive to the cloth
and felt used in the piano, and may be
kept out of it by placing q lump of cam
phor, wrapped in soft paper, in the in
side of it, care being taken to renew it
from time to time. Many persons are
aware of the great Importance of having
their pianos kept IN order, and tuned
only by a competent tuner. A new piano
should be tuned at least once every three
or four months during the first year, and
at longer intervals afterward.
