A Picture worth BeholdIng.

Hanging between two email windows, and
catching the light from larger one opposite,
in one Of the Offices of Adams Express Com
pany, at SO Broadway, New York-the Office
occupied by Mr.. W. II. Hall, head Of the de-
livery department-is a plainly finished but
neatly framed chrome about 21< by 8 feet in
size, which is looked upon by hundreds Of peo-
pie daily, on many Of whom it has wonderful
and salutary effect. 1t represents a flight Of
half dozen rough stone steps leading from
the swarded bank Of placid lake to little
rustic temple set in the rugged side Of the
mountain which rises in stupendous proper
tions in the background all covered with a
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 small,
dimly defined package, while seated on the
sward at the foot Of the steps an aged pilgrim,
barefooted, lame and decrcpid, bears a staff in
one hand, and in the other holds before his
dim eyes small bottle, whose label he eager
" scans. This label bears the words "St.
Jacobs OIL the Great German Remedy" Sim
pie as this little chrome appears in its unos-
tentatious position, it has an influence which
It would be difficult to estimate. " 1t is to
that picture and the persuasions of Mr.. Hall, /"
said Mr.. Edward J. Douglass, a gentleman
connected with Mr.. Halls department., "that
owe my present ability to perform my work.
Some weeks ago was violently attacked with
sciatic rheumatism, and hour by hour grew
worse, and nothing my family or the doctor
could do gave me any relief. began to think
IN q few days that my case was hopeless and
that was doomed to be an invalid and help
less cripple for life. But at last / thought Of
that picture which I 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 worse and long
er standing case than mine, urged me to use
the same remedy. / did so that very night,
directing my wife not to spare it but to apply
it thoroughly according to the directions; this
she did with . large piece Of flannel cloth
saturated with the on, and then hound the
cloth to the affected parts. The next morn
ing was free from pain, and although little
sore in the hip, was able to dress myself, and
the next day resumed my duties in the Office
as sound as dollar. Here am now in full
health and strength, having had no touch Of
rheumatism or orther pain since. Whenever

Winter Treatment Of Hens.

Hens must have comfortable and con-
venient quarters in winter. Most people
keep too many hens for the accommoda-
tons they furnish them. Hens are nat
urally active animals, and when confined
in winter quarters require plenty of
room, Five hens and five ROSTERS, of
all ordinary breeds should have house
24x16 in the clear and ten feet high in
the clear. This will allow about seventy
cubic feet of space for each fowl, which
is little enough. No class of animals is
so susceptible to the i'll effects of crowd
ing as the feathered class. Hens will
not lay when too much crowded, nor
will they remain healthy long if too
many are kept together. The building
should be well ventilated by chimney
without admitting any gusts or draughts
OF wind. 1t should face the south, if
possible, and have several windows in
front. Where the weather gets very
cold it will be well to have the whole
front glazed and have stove inside.
Hens cannot lay unless they are kept
comfortable, and when the temperature
falls to ten degrees, or lower, they re-
quire little artificial heat. This heat
must be carefully managed; a little fire
only should be kept, and it should be as
steady as possible. Uniformity of tenn
perature is what is wanted The houses
must be kept clean and neat. The floors
should be swept every day, and be dust
ed over with dry earth, ashes, chat,
short straw, or litter of any kind that
can be easily removed. Every hen house
should have plenty of suitable roosts.
There should be shallow box or bin in
one corner-a sunny corner is best
containing dry earth, ashes, chip dirt,
or mixture of them for the hens to
wallow in. They enjoy their bath in
winter as much as in summer. Where
oyster shells cannot be easily procured
there should be box containing gravel
within reach Of the fowls. A sufficient
number Of nest boxes with glass nest
eggs in them, several shallow vessels for
water, and feed trough will complete
the necessary outfit for the hen house. A
very important adjunct to the hen house
is an open shed where the fowls can
estay at pleasure when the weather is not
too coid Such q shed should protect the
hens from the prevailing Winds. West

The ancient device of pouring oil
upon the troubled waters is TO be re-
vived. A Mr.. Shields of Perth has in
vented piece of apparatus for the
smoothing Of broken seas by means of
oil, and few days ago the contrivance
was tried at Peterhead, in Scotland,
with considerable success. The oil was
conveyed to the North Harbor entrance
by means of a pipe 200 yards long. The
pumping soon took effect on a piece of
rough water. The oil spread snd rem
dered the harbor quite smooth over a
large area.

The Old.FashiOned Banker.

The old-fashioned banker used to 90
to his Office so punctually that you might
set town clock by him. When he
dined at the club or hostel he used to
observe the manners of his customers
and, if he thought them extravagant,
he showed them little mercy in s'the
shop or the sweating room" He
would stay in the office until the ac-
counts were balanced; and we have
known of clerks being kept up for hours
until the error of penny could be rec
titled. Old Simeon, of Cambridge, gave
a man twenty pounds to detect the err
ror of penny in his accounts. The
old-fashioned bankers were the men
who kept up to the last the powder and
pig-tail, the top-boots and knee-breeches
The half holiday was an institution
totally unknown. The country bankers
sent up to town heavy parcels by Pick
ford's van, guard with blunderbuss
keeping watch over them. In those
days of expensive postage it was great
object to send letters by private hands.
A Manchester bank calculated that il
saved the pay of two clerks by this
system If any of their customers were
found to have booked places at the
coach offices it was soon arranged that
they should take letters TO town.. Sir
Rowland Hills innovations have no
where been more eflicacious than in, the
province of banking. The banker in
old times never concerned himself with
literature. He would be regarded as
going to professional perSlition. He
would be looked upon as the Cambridge
candidate for honors who falls in love or
betakes himself to poetry. When the
news came to Lord Chief Justice Ellen
borough that young banker named
Rogers had Just published poem on
The Pleasures of Memory" he ex-
claimed, If old Gozzy"-alluding to
the respective head of the firm with
which he was banking -" ever so much
as says agood thing, let alone writing,
will close my account with him the
next morningf' An absurd story is
told of an old banker. of single pint of
porter being invariably placed At the
bottom of the staircase for his laundress.
In course of time the pint vas exchanged
for a pot. A csstomer forthwith re-
monstrated with him: II must say, Sir,

ditures at that rate, it may be time for
your customers to look after their bal

there died at the house of William Kendall
in Uniontown, Pa, girl named Jane
Drum. Kendall had charge of her from
infancy. Ex-County Treasurer John Tier

worth about $4,000. Nathan BcightweA,
uncle to Jane Drum, was appointed guar

instance OF Brightwell, application was
made to the court for the body, and Judge
Wilson decided the guardian should have
it, but of all the people gathered at Mr..
Kendalrs house to attend the funeral one
were found wiling to remove the body to
Bcightweirs residence. The people said
the girl should be buried in Kendau's fam
lily lot, as she had requested. During ali
this time Samuel Drum, father of the gir!
was supposed to be dead. To-day he ar

Last Sunday Foley Abbott, of Sawtootb,
went on to the high and rugged peak op-
posite the Pilgrim mine on Beaver gulch
to kill some grouse. AS the 'beautiful'
was about t.::ss feet deep he went on
snow-shoes. The trip was hard one, as
the mountain is very steep and he was
obliged to make many lacks to reach the
summit. While he was passing near one
of the high granite cliffs no noticed that
there was an opening under land thought
he had found good place TO rest and be
protected from the wind, So he proceeded
to it. Seeing that darkness was inside and
/ the cave appearing to be of good size, he
made torch CT s!iyers taken from pitc :
pine log Rear b., and proceeded to explore
! his new find. After going through long,
| narrow and crooked passage re found him

i the prehistoric and undoubtedly very intel

from which the gas proceeds perpetualiy.
Il is an evidence that there is an immense
body OF coal Oil under the mountain, froo,
! which the gas proceeds. After satisfying
his curiosity looking at the wonderful
lamp he tremblingly commenced search
for other objects.
On the walls were hieroglyp hics, which,
of course, he could not read. In one cor
ner was very large human skeieton-at
least nine feet Highland by it stone
tomahawk and a large cross-bow, which,
although it had the appearance OF being
perfectly sound, fell into thousand pieces
when he attempted to lift it. A stone
mortar, containing some very rich gold
specimens, was found, and also some large
pieces of ruby silver. Some backboaes OF
salmon were scattered around, proving
that the inhabitants OF the cavern were
salmon eaters. There were many other
things in the apartment, such as arrow
heads, bones of animals and a netrified
