Indian Landmarks in Ohio Woods.

From the Toledo Blade.
In the vicinity of Defiance can be found
trees that many would think freaks OF
nature. Such they are. but they are ere
ated by the hand of man.
According to the stories of some of the
old timers, these trees are much older
than the present generation has any idea
of. and at one time served as Indian guide
posts. 1t is said that in the early days
when the Maumee valley was one vas,
woods the Indians bent these saplings t.
indicate certain paths. The trees. be-
cause of their deformity, grew slowly. and
although they are many years old, never
attained the size of their brethren in the
forests. Similar trees exist near Fort
Wayne.

BIRDS AND THEIR TOES.
How the Art of Standing Began-Birds
That Perch and Those That Run.

From the Strand Magazine.
And let us note that the art Of standing
began with birds. Frogs sit, and as far
as 1 know every reptile, be it lizard,
crocodile, alligator or tortoise, lays its
body on the ground when not actually
carrying it. And these have each four
fat legs. Contrast the fiamingo, which.
having only two, and those like willow
wands. tucks up one Of them and sleeps
poised high on the other, like tulip on
its stem.
Note also that one toe has been alto

where he learned much about the gas

that he was quite an epicure for a man

Pimples, Rash. sEruptions, Etc., Quickly Eradicated by New Skin Remedy.
 Ever since it's discovery, poslam. the new skin remedy, has, in it's extraor- dinary accomplishments, exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the emi- nent specialist who gave 1t to the world. It has cured thousands or cases of eczema and eradicated facial and other dishgurements of years standing. The terrible itching attend ing eczema is stopped with the first application, giving proof of it's cura- tive, properties at the very outset.
 In less serious skin affections, such as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads, acne, barber's itch, etc, results show after an overnight application, only a small quantity being required, to effect "a cure. Those who use polsam for these minor skin troubles should im- mediately secure one of the special 50-cent packages recently adopted to meet such needs. Both the 50-cent package and the regular g jar may be obtained at Lee & Osgood's and Smiths drug store in Norwich, Larue's in Put nam, Woodward's in Danielson and Chesebro's in Willimantic, and other leading drug stores.
 Samples for experimental purposes may be had free of charge by writing direct to the Emergency Laboratories, 52 West Twenty fifth Street, New York City.

DEFINITION OF 4 CHRISTIAN
Declared by Dr. Slough be One who in the Spirit oi Christ Goes About in Daily Life Doing Good-SPecial Meetings This Week.

Dr. Slough, the evangelist in the union evangelistic campaign, preached one of the most effective and powerful sermons of the series at the Armory Monday night, closing the evening meeting with a conservation service after the sermon, in which a large number proffered requests for prayers for people in whom they were inter ested, and also indicated their pur- pose of Q greater surrender to the Lord for service
 Owing to an unfortunate and re- grettable newspaper error announcing no meeting for Monday night, the att tendance at the Armory was not as large as had been hoped for, but the chorus was on hand in full numbers, fairly surpassing all its previous fine work under the leadership of Mir. Spooner. so that Dr. Slough was moved to speak especially in appre- citation of its faithfulness in attend ance and the splendid service it was rendering.
 The following were the notices given: Meetings at the Armory every night except Friday and Saturday; Tues day at p. m., Dr. Slough and asso- ciates at First Baptist church; Tues day night every one requested to bring one or more flowers to the Armory meeting, these tu be distributed on Wednesday to people in trouble or shut-in ones, whose names are re- quested to be handed in; Wednesday afternoon, at Park church, the observ- ance of flower day, when the subject will be The Heart of the Rose of New England: special service for women only on Friday afternoon. either at the Armory or at the Central Baptist church, and a young peoples mass meeting on Sunday afternoon.
 Dr. Slough read number of requests for prayers. and Rev. P. c. Wright of fered prayer. Mir. Herring sang the hymn. What a Savour, rendering it with sympathy and expression.
 Dt Stough's sermon was based up- on the text II. Samuel ix:1: Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul that I may show him kindness dor JonathaRs sake? Dramatically sketching the incident of David's search for and benefaction towards this last of Jonathan's race, the preacher cited this kindness to Meph- ibosheth as kingly thing done by David. the most kingly thing in his life It was the spirit of Jesus Christ and what a definition of Christian
