A Picture Worth Beholding.

Hanging between two small windows, and
catching the light from larger one opposite,
in one of the offices of Adams Express Com
pany, mt SO Broadway, New Yorl-the Office
occupied by Mr.. w. III. Hall, head Of the
delivery department-is plainly finished
but neatly framed chrome about 2 1-2 by 3
feet in size, which is looked upon by hun
dreds of people daily, on many Of whom it
has wonderful and salutary effect. 1t
represents flight of half "a dozen rough
stone steps leading from the swarded bank
of "A placid lake to a little rustic temple set
in the rugged side Of the mountain which
rises in stupendous proportions in the back
ground all covered with u rank, luxuriant
growth of foliage in brush and tree. In
the open door of this little temple stands q
half-concealed figure, with an arm and hand
extended, holding forth u small, dimly de
fined package, while seated on the sward ut
tho foot of the steps an aged pilgrim, bare
footed lame and decrepid, bears staff in
one hand, and in the other holds before his
dim eyes q small bottle, whose label lie
eagerly scans. This label bears the words
st. Jacobs Oil the Great German Remedy"
Simple as this little chrome appears III its
unostentitious position it has an influence
which it would be difficult to estimate. 1t
is to that picture and the persuasions of Mr..
Hail, said Mr.. Edward j. Douglass, gen.
ueman connected with Mr.. Halls depart
ment, that owe my present ability to per-
form my work. Some weeks ago 1 was vio-
lently attacked with sciatic rheumatism, and
hour by hour l grew worse, and nothing
that my family or the doctor could do gave
me any relief. began to think in few
days that my case was hopeless and that
was doomed to be an invalid and helpless
cripple for life. But ut last 1 thought
of that little picture which l had SO
often looked at with but little interest, and
then Mr.. Hall came to my bedside, and,
telling me how st. Jacobs Oil had cured
him of u worse and longer standing case
than mine, urged me to use the same rem
edy. / did SO that very night, directing
my wife not to spare it, but apply it thor
oughly according to the directions this
she did with a large piece of flannel cloth
saturated with the Oil, and then bound the
cloth to the affected parts. The next morn
ing / was free from pain, and, although a
little sore in the hip, WAS able to dress my
self, and the next day resumed my duties
in the office as sound as a dollar. Here
am now III full health and strength having
had no touch of rheumatism or other pain
since. Whenever L see one of our drivers
or any other person who shows any symp-
toms of lameness or stiffness, i point him
to the picture in MIR. Halls office, and then
direct him to go for st. Jacobs Oil nt once.

George Washington and His Mules.

Few of the farmers of this country are
aware what debt of gratitude they owe
George Washington for the introduction
of mules into general use for the purpose
of the farm. Washington became con-
vinced that the introduction of mules
among the Southern planters would be
blessing. As soon as it became known
that the illustrious Washington desired
to stock his Mount Vernon estate with
mules, the King of Spain sent him a
jack and two jennets from the royal sta
bic, and Lafayette sent him another jack
and jennet from the Island of Malta.
The first was named Royal Gift The
other was called the Knight of Malta.
He then bred his brood mares to these
jacks, and produced such excellent mules
that the country was agog to breed some
of the same sort, and it was not long be-
fore they were common. This was the
origin of improved mules in the United
ates.-NOrfOH Landmark.

CONSrlPATUON.

Persons suffering for any great length Of time
from constipation must not be surprised 10 find
themselves afflicted, sooner or later, by such
annoying symptoms as sores, 5lotches, pmples,
impure blood, headaches, loss OF memory, uni
versal lassitude, kidney affections, bad dreams,
etc. Evacuation Of the bowels sheuld become
daily habit, in fact, this is one Of the first
laws OF nature, and its obedience is essential to
good health and longevity. When this func-
tion, through neglect, intemperance, gluttony
or vicious indulgences, becomes deranged, DIR.
Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla should
be used to strengthen these parts. This excel
lent medicine quickly assists nature in restoring
her lost equilibrium, and its use will perma-
nenty cure the severest case Of constipation of
the bowels and ali liver and kidney complaints.

of the body. 1t is as pleasant al wine to the

Grccian Beauty.

Much has been said in praise of
Grecian beauty, and the men are hand
some in every sense of the word We
might we'll imagine them to have been
models of Phidias and Praxiteles. Their
large eyes, black as Jet, sparkle with
glances of fire, while their long, silky
eyelashes soften the expression and give
a dreamy appearance of melancholy.
Their teeth are small, white and we'll
set; fine, regular profile, pale, olive
complexion, and tall, elegant figure
realize an accomplished type of distinc-
tion. AS to the women, they seem to
have left physical perfection to men;
some possess fine eyes and hair, but as
a rule they have bad figure, and some
defects in the face generally spoil the
features. 1t is among them, however,
that the old, oriental customs are most
strictly preserved; while the men are
gradually undergoing the process OF
civilization, they, in moral point OF
view, remain stationary, and are just as
they we're fifty years ago. 1t may, In
deed, be said that, with the exception OF
Athens, the women possess no individual
existence and count as nothing In society.
The men have reserved every privilege
for themselves, leaving to their help
mates the care of the house and family.
In the towns, where servants are kept,
they are of the poorest class of peasants,
who know nothing and receive miserable
wages. The families are generally large

mand a mothers constant attention.
The morning begins by directing the
work of each servant, repeating the
same thing hundred times, scolding,
screaming, and even beating them to be
understood. In the evening, when the
children are sleeping, if there remains
some little time, the poor, worn-out
mother sits down to her spinning. wheel
to spin silk, to sew or knit, or il it be
summer time, to look after her cocoons,
happy if she has not to do the work OF
her incompetent servant over again.
