MEMORIAL, SUNDAY.

Sunday last was Memorial Sunday,
and the customary service before the &.
A. r. Post and auxiliary organizations
was held at Christ Church, which was
crowded. The rector, the Rev. f. p.
Lee, delivered a very thoughtful sermon,
which is given in full on the first page
The special musical features added to
the attractiveness of the usual Church
service, large choir assisting. Previous
to the delivery of the sermon Rev. Mr..
Lee made statement to the effect that
the ideas of the sermon and the words
also very largely We're those of the late
DIR. Liddon, Dean of $. Paul's Cathedral.
The only thing he claimed was in the
arranging of them appropriate to the
occasion, and so fixing them in his mem
DRY that he could as effectively as he was
able to present them to the congregation.
He considered Dean Liddon one of the
greatest preachers of this age, or per
haps of any other and if he should be
so fortunate as to interest our commu-
nifty in study Of the writings of this
remarkable man he would be doing it a
greater service than he could possibly
have done by presenting any crude ideas
of his own. He is too modest by half.

PAINT YOUR BUGGY FOR rs CENTS
LETTER TO s. J. MAR0NEY.
Island Pond, VT.

Dear Sir: No merchant wants to be
shabby-What does he mean by shabby?
He may mean his clothes. What is
shabby for one is dressed up for another.
lie may mean his carriage and pair
he may not have any carriage and pair.
lie may mean his house, out-houses
and fences. That's what we mean. No
merchant wants his house and barn and
door-yard fence-if he has such thing
as door-yard fence.--to go shabby.
Shabby means crying for paint; and
crying for paint is destruction.
The cheapest way to be handsome and
prosperous, as to ones paint, is Devoe
lead and zinc. 1t is twice as good as
lead and oil, lasts twice as long.
Besides a merchant would rather not
make mistake in matter of business
Devoe is economy; anything else is waste
Yours truly,
f. W. DEvoE & Co.

A public exhibition Of the force Of a
common Mauser rife used by Spanish
soldier at San Juan Hill was given the
other day at Fort Scott, Kan, with
wonderful results. The rife was brought
home by Captain A. NJ. Wilson of the
Twenty-thiri Kansas. A ball shot from
it against the fiat side of common fiat
iron penetrated the iron, leaving hole
as smooth as if it were pine board.
The ball in going out on the opposite
side scaled the iron as an ordinary bull
let would a board. Then three shots
were fired against steel ak blade Two
of them gouged deep holes into the steel
and the third bulged it on the opposite
side. Kansas City Times.

DAVIS
STUDIO.
The Diet Fad.

Sensible people have learned that the
best diet is a variety of wholesome food.
If the digestive apparatus is out of order
no amount of starvation diet will
regulate it, but will tend to aggravate
rather than remedy the ailment. If you
are bilious, dyspeptic, liver torpid, bow
els constipated, yellow with jaundice, or
have sick head ache, cure yourself with
Bakers Mandrake Bitters, and then eat
reasonably of wholesome food and enjoy
it. After you are cured an occasional
dose of Bakers Mandrake Bitters will
keep you well. Price 20 cents per bot
tie. also in tablets same price. All drug
gists guarantee it to cure or money back

DECORATION DAY.

The observance of this day shows no
abatement of interest, nor of the reyer-
ence which is felt for the memory of
those whose devotion to their country
found its ultimate expression in the sac
rifce of life. Shortly after 8 o'clock the
members of the Post, and the Relief
Corps, escorted by the Sons of Veterans.
headed by fife and drum band. marched
to the cemetery where the graves of the
dead were decorated amid the impressive
and beautiful ritual service of the q. \.
X. This ceremony being completed the
orders above mentioned marched to the
opera house to listen to the speaker of
the day, Gen. W. w. Grout, Member of
Congress for the Second District of Yer
mont. \ noticeable feature was the omis-
sion of a portion of the ritual service in
the hall, Il wise feature we believe, for the
people We're not tired ont by the time the
speaker began his address, as heretofore.
The hall was filled to its utmost capa-
city. After music by select choir, and
prayer by Rev. Z. p. Lee, Quartermas-
ter A. II. Hall in a brief but happy man
ner introduced Gen. Grout. He recalled
the fact that this occasion was the l4th
anniversary of the Post, and in these
years nine of their comrades had passed
away, but he also expressed thankfulness
that so many were left. He made fitting
allusion to the services of Gen. Grout in
Congress, and when the latter came to
the front he was greeted with great APP
plause, the Post rising as one man.
The address was one of peculiar merit,
able, eloquent, and full of patriotism.
We had hoped to have presented it in
full this week, in fact had reserved as
we thought sufficient space for its publ
cation, but it goes beyond our resources,
and we are compelled to hold it over for
our next issue. At the conclusion of the
address the speaker, who expressed his
great pleasure at being able to come tc
Island Pond, was again greeted with al
enthusiastic outburst of applause. The
singing of America, and the pronouncing
of the benediction by Rev. L. j. Gale
terminated the exercises. The hall was
most Hastily and handsomely decorated
with bunting, flowers and potted plants
while about the walls We're hung pictures
of the past commanders of the Post, an(
many other pictures including those o
Washington, Lincoln Grant, Mckinley
Dewey, Sampson, Schley, and Miles
The hall never presented so pretty al
appearance on such an occasion. At l:
o'clock the Relief Corps served splen
did dinner to the veterans and thei
families and few invited friends i'll tn
vestry of the NJ. +. Church. The dir
ner received many a compliment and de
servedly so. At the hour set apart TO
the commencement Of the days excl
cises the stores were all closed and II
NAMED closed throughout the day
Bunting and flags were prominent a
over town, the merchants making a fin
display. All in all the day has left
more than ordinarily pleasant impre
sion.

Closed House Precautions.

A house that is to be closed during
the summer should have sheet iron
screens fitted into each open CRATE. This
will prevent the SCOT sitting down into
the room, as it might easily do with
nobody to look ont for it Another eau
tion is to see that the ice box is left
perfectly empty, with the exception of
a shallow dish filled with charcoal. and
that the doors stand wide open. One
more precaution is that any kerosene
lamps left in the house should be thor
oughly cleaned, the wicks taken ont
aud burned and the burners and fix
lures boiled in soda water, to be left
absolutely clean. Nothing is more per
meating and offensive than the smell
from stale oil

Petroleum Is the Latest.

The morphine and alcohol habits have
been relegated to the things of yester-
day. while the latest narcotic vice is
"petrolism, " which is designated by ex-
perienced physicians as "a grim novel
ty, almost without parallel. " Little by
little the victim to the use of petroleum
becomes sad and melancholy, and his
doses increase in size until the habit
becomes a passion.
The mineral oil has none of the slim
Mating properties of alcohol or NOR
phine, and the sufferers condition is
most deplorable. The evil Is too new at
present for the physicians to have dis
covered any satisfactory method Of
treatment.
