The Roar FROM JERUSALEM TO JERIcHo.-We
give an extract from Harriet Martineaus letters from
Palestine, published in the Peoples Journal, descrb
ing the dangers Of the route at this day
We looked back upon the village [of Bethany again
and again as we descended into the valley, and 1t was
painful to lose sight Of the place where Jesus was
wont to go to solace himself with the friendship Of
Lazarus and his sisters, and rest from the conflicts
which beset him in the great city over yondcr ridge.
Butwe were now ON the road from Jerusalem 10 Jer-
icho and about to pass among the Businesses Of the
thieves who seem to have infested this region in all
times. After riding along the valley sometimes on
one hill, and sometimes the other, for three or
four miles, we left behind the scany lago spread
along the hottom of the valley and began to ascend
to the hollow way, which is considered the most
dangerous spot of all. Here Sir Frederick Henniker
was stripped and left for dead by robbers in 1920
His servants fled and hid themselves on the first
alarm When they returned he was lying naked and
bleeding in the sultry road They put him on a
horse and carried him to Jericho where he found
~"ccor. Perhaps he was thinking Of the parable OF

FLAME E~NCIRCLED OVEN
COOKING STOVE.

Mis- Stove combines all that is val
liable IN existing Cooking Stoves
with certain improvements peculiar to
itself. Its constructed upon a new and
entirely distinct principle truly philo
sophical, so as TO pass the lue entirely
round the oven. thus making it enve!oped
OF. flame eRcircied. without impairing the
necessary draught Of The stove. This
method of thus passing twice round,
once over and once under the oven, is the
secret Of lis great economy in the use Of
fuel, while the enlargement of the air
chamber affords increased space for the
rarefac,ion of air and compensates for
the usual disadvantages of a circular
draught, 1t bakes, roasls, and boils,
easier aud better Than anv Stove vet Of
fered 10 the public, with the advantage
over most of them Of saving one half the
fuel. Ii is superior TO the Queen of
the West" Bucks Patent" "Eclipse"
or ..Hathaways Patent" for the follow
ing reasons: In these Stoves the upper
side of the over is depeudan, for heat
and can have from no other source than
what radiates through the plate on which
the fire is made. If the ashes be lifted
clean. too much heat will radiate and
ourn the bread on the upper
side, if too much ashes be left, the bread
will not bake on the upper side. OF this
defect all good cooks complain. This
Stove is entirely free of this objection,
the oven always heating exactly alike
top and bottom. and ends. Many buy
The Premium or step stove and others of
similar model. These Stoves consume
much fuel, for first the fire chamber is
too deep, the pots &C., are too high "a
bove the fire. Second when using the
oven, all the heat which passes off under
the oven being one half. never comes in
contact wilhihe boiling utensils, passesoff
into the pipe and is lost. Also our Stove
is so arranged with a bank or elevation
in the fire chamber as 10 ensure the use
of the fame upon the forward part of
the Stove first, and it then passes back
afterward heating all alike whereas
Stoves like the Hathaway, having one
vest chamber, allow too wide a range
for the fame without sufficient concen.
~tration.
We manufacture two sizes Of this
Stove at tbeEagIe Foundryin BerIinSom-
erset county, Pa. For the larger size
most of the pots commonly used in the
kitchen will answer.

Messrs Phelps & BlakeIey, St,
Louis, Mo,
Gentlemen.-A desire to benefit the
afflicted throughout the land has alone
induced me to make the following state
ment of facts respecting one Of
the most astonishing cures ever re-
corded, My son, now II years
old, has been afflicted during his whole
life with a constant cough, pain IN the
side and chest, accompanied with night
sweats and hectic fever. which produced
great emaciation and debility; and a! in
IerVa's during the night his first expec-
toratiOn would become so great as TO en-
danger bis life from str~angulation, Du-
ring this time he was attended by manv
physicians of the highest repute, whose
prescriptions gave but temporary relief
IN fact SO alarming were The SYMPTOMS
and so mveterate was his disease, that I
was compelled TO believe him beyond
the reach of medical aid. All our neigh
bors and friends who saw him, regarded
him as one who was rapidly approach
HS thC grave. AttCi having mus x
hausted the skill of our best physicians,
without Obtaiaing relief, | was prevailed
upon by the advice of a friend to make
use of Wistar's BaLSGm of HIld Cher
ry.
He commenced IFS use about the 3Oth
of December, l94l, the first bottle OF
which gave astonishing relief, and began
again indulge in the fond hope that he
might yet be restored TO health.
After having continued the use of il
until 3 bottles had been taken, the DIS
ease was entirely removed and his shat
tered constitution and emaciated form
restored to sound and permanent health
which he continues to enjoy up To the
present time.

sam of Wild Cherry to be ere of the
most valuable medicines ever discovered

was effected solely by lis use.
