EYES WOULD BURN IND STING

It is just year ago that my sister came over here to us. She had been here only 2 few weeks when her eyes began to be red. and to burn and sting as if she had sand m them Then we used all of the home rem-. edies. She washed her eyes with salt water, used hot tea to bathe them with, and bandf nd aged them over night with tea leaves, Dut ail to no purpose She went to the drug store and got some salve, but she grew constantly worse She was scarcely able to look in the light At last she decided to go to doctor because she could hardly work any, more The doctor said it was a very severe disease, and if she did not follow his orders closely; she might lose her eyesight. In the two ana a half or three months that she went to the doctor, we could see very little improvement. Then we had read so much how people had been helped by Cuticura that we thought we would try it., and we cannot be thankful enough that we used it. My sister used the Cuticura Pills for purifying the blood, bathed only with Cuticura Soap, and at night after washing, she anonted her eyes very gently on the outside with the Cuticura Ointment. 5 In one week, the swelling was entirely gone from the eyes, and after month, there was no longer any mucus or watering of thu. eyes. She could see better, and in six weeks she was c1Ired' (Signed) Mrs. Julia Csepicska. 2OO5 Utah St., St. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 25, l9lo.

He took up the differ ent Indian signs to be found along the trail. speaking of the circle with the wavy lines and an arrow, as indicating the direction of good water Three arrowheads in one direction meant peace Two in one direction and one in the other meant war. Different trail signals were indicated by stones, brok- en twigs and knotted grass. He brought up the fact that hunters and trappers took up these signs, but changed them somewhat, blazing trees instead of using stones, as they were more lasting where placed. He. showed the boys how to use the watch as compass, explaining that by pointing the hour hand to the sun that the point ene-half between that and F o'clock is always south.
 Signals.
 He took up the fact that modern ar mics and railroads have to use signals. Signals are always more expressive than having a person stationed at point to give orders. They always mean the same thing. He explained the use of the Morse code for telegra- phy. and the wigwag with it's three motions and their combinations for making different letters. The semi pllore he explained as the signal used on railroads with it's six different mo- tions to express certain letters.
 Trailing.
 Along the trailing line he referred to the inprints of animals which when

He told of numer- ous interesting experiences he had had with the canoe in watching birds and animals. His talk was heard with much interest and concludes the series which was arranged for the past few weeks.

CLEVER CHECKER PLAYER. Emil Pultz of Lebanon Finds Game
 Helps the Brain.

Emil Pultz of Lebanon, Conn, was in Troy today. He owns a dairy and prosperous pig pens, his stock em- bracing about 25 cows and 75 hogs, and consequently he has no kick com ing regarding hard times. Among MT. Pultzs accomplishments is expertness in the game of checkers; better play CTS in New England are few and far between. He has devoted much time and thought to the board, but never to the neglect of business. He enjoys the game very much and plays it a lot, for he feels a mans fool to de- vote his whole time to money grub ping and not get any fun out of life. His philosophy in this particular is sound; proverbially. all work and no play is bad for anybody. MT. Pultz had a penniless start in life, and per- haps his success in some measure is due to the brain development acquired in trying to fathom the problems that arise so continuously when playing checkerS-Troy Press.

COW might be expected near by, which is the same with other animals. The jumping anlmals can be told by the fact that the four prints are close together and the running animals are told by series of tracks. If a per- son really desires to go trailing it is best to leave the gun at home There is more pleasure in trailing about the woods, keeping quiet and watching the game than in shooting it, and it is more satisfactory as well as cheaper.

Rev. J. H. Fitzmaurice Appointed Rec tor of St. Mary's Church-Various Items.

Bishop Milan has appointed Rev. J. H. Fitzmaurice of Jewett City rec tor of St. Mary's church to take the place of Rev. J. J. Smith, who has been promoted to St. Francis parish in New Haven. For the past nine years Father F'itzmaurice has been rector of St. Marys church in Jewett City. where he has been popular with all.
 He is native of New London and was a member of the first class to graduate from Bulkeley high school He attended the Montreal Grand sem mary and was ordained 2S years ago. Before coming to Jewett City, he was located in Grosvenordale, South Gov entry and Danielson The Jewett City parish numbered about 2.000 souls. while the Greeneville parish contains about 5000 members, and has an an nual income of about SIP, 1000. so that the change is in the nature of an ad- vancement for Father Fitzmaurice It is probable that he will take up his new duties on Sunday, May '.
 It is expected that Father Smith will not be able to oft1ciate at the serv- ices on Sunday, but he intends to start on Tuesday for Lakewood, N J., where he will recover from his ill., ness.
 The following is taken from the Catholic Transcript:
 
 soon preside over St. Francis parish, New Haven. has served as pastor of Guilford. St. Lawrence O'TooIe's, Hartford, and St. Mary's, Norwich. He is man of tireless zeal and he has done much toward building up every parish in which he has been stationed. He was the first resident pastor of St. Mary's, Norwich When he went there, the present church was the only building of worth of which the new parish could boast. By constant effort he succeeded in the erection of school, convent and a parochia1 residence. which are a credit to the parish. In New Haven he will be attended with the same spirit of unflagging industry, and St. Francis parish will soon feel the inspira ton of his presence. The Catholics of Fair Haven have always enjoyed an envia- ble reputation throughout the diocese The new parish of St. Rose is making rapid progress and it is altogether certain that the mother church will not lag behind. Father Smith is not the man to make terms with paro- chial Stagnation."

In 0lden Times.

One of our girls aslcs how the young
people of long ago used to get to-
gether and have good time. She
says 1t Is almost impossible to get up
social features without expensive
refreshments" which everyone can
not afford. She says she lives in a
farming community, but that really
tells but little. In the olden
times, there was always singing
schools, spelling bees, church gath
erings, not the least attractive
among which was the weekly mite
society" the financial results of
which served to swell the church
funds considerably while they af-
fofded the young people as well as
their elders, unlimited opportuni
ties to get acquainted. There were
the old-fashioned candy -pullings,
ragtackings, corn-huskings, wool
pulling and other industrial meets"
where there was always more fun
and frolic than work accomplished.
At most of these there were refresh
ments but they were of the "hOme-
grown" and homemade varieties that
were always at hand in the Writer
season. There were grange meetings,
and box suppers, birthday and am
niversary PARTIES, while very often,
for the elders, there were wood-cut-
ting and quilting bees, the men cut
ting the fire-wood and storing DIT while
the woman quilted finl tackled COM
forts. At these was always a substan
tial dinner and at night the young pc
pie came while the more qulet-lov-
ing, elder people went home. These
Were the dissipetions of both farm
and village folks. and in many instan
ces the two classes met for a good
time
Distance was no bar to THE socials
in those days, and the matter of fine
clothing seldom came up, though
everybody had their best" and
wore it. Nothing not even the
young peoples themselves, were too
good for the home-folks," and if on
ly some of the old-time meetings
could be reinstated in country com
munities. the lads and lasSes would
net 50 often sigh for the alluring ex-
elements of the great terrible city
