Constipation, the curse OF our scdentary
life, Dyspepsia, our national disease, and
rheumatism, which comes from acid
stomach and from the sudden changes in
our climate, are quickly cured by taking
oRe or two Brandreth's Pills every night
for month. Persons are now living, en-
joyin2 most vigorous health, who have
taken one OF these pills night for over
thrifty years. Chronic diseases are cured
by taking from two TO four OF Brandretb's
Pills every night for a month. They
purge away the old diseased body. This
you replace with new and healthy flesh,
prepared by an lnvigorated digestion from
simple. healthflil food.

Silver Preferred to Gold in Franc
From the london Eeonooais,.

from The L0n0On h co2loUtt8f.
Instructions have been issued by the
Treasury TO its agents 10 withdraw from
circulation the gold pieces Of five francs.
In fact, they have already almost disap-
peared from circulation; they are die-
liked by the public, as from their small
size they are easily lost, and for the same
reason the loss in weight by friction Is
greater than in the larger gold coin. Their
entire withdrawal will enable the Bank
OF France to put greater number OF sill.
yer iiye-frnnc pieces III circulation. AL
though no such instructions nave been
publicly given with regard TO gold ten
franc colo, 1t Is probable that they have
also been quietly Withdrawn, for they
have become rare for some time past, AID
II retained ut the bank and Treasury
offices this may account for part o. the
increase Of the gold reserve. The public
prefer silver tve.franc pieces. in spite OF
their weight, to gold coin Of less than
twenty francs.

THE RUBBER BALL MAN.
A Peddler Who Invented n Toy
Which Melted Him 100000.
from he BrookLyn Times


For good many years, summer and
winter, rain or shine, John Burke, stall
wart Irishman, peddled goods through the
city of Brooklyn, from Red Hook to
Greenpoint, and from Fulton Ferry to
East New York. He was known by all
the children in the districts which he
visited. He liked to see good-looking
girl, and he married three times. Catha-
| rine Burke was his third wife, and he
married her because she had been in his
! employ during the lifetime of wife No. ..
| Catherine was ambitious, and she in
| duced John to make an effort to rise In the
world. He engaged in the business of a
fakir and went about with a little plat
form, from which he harangued his audi
ences, under his arm and little
coal oil lamp stuck on a long pole
served to illuminate the surroundings.
John tramped through the States Of
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Connecticut and Massachusetts, and
made money. When he stood on his stand
near the village tavern a crowd soon
gathered about him, bis oil lamp and his
little rostrum. His talk to the rural pub
lie was full of the native wit Of an Irish
man, and he always got his hearers into
good humor with his sallies and small
talk before exposing his wares to their
wondering gaze. John had mind with
an inventive turn and turned il TO good
account. He made a name for himself by
inventing what is now known as the re-
turning ball, rubber globe attached to
rubber string, and cleared 100000.
Then the Burke family rose from It's OBJ
security and looked down from Its tnan-
cial height upon its admiring neighbors
John Burke and his wife gave splendid
entertainments to their particular friends,
at which the punch bowl was frequently
emptied and many reel and many q
jig was jigged. Johns particular friends
helped him TO get away with large part
of his wealth. What he had left he in
vested in big tenement house in York
street with a mortgage OF $4,000. In
September, last year, Catharine Burke
got decree of separation from her hus-
band on the ground of cruel and inhuman
treatment.

VOLCANOES AND EARTHQUAKES.
America Has More Than Her Share
of the Earth's Chimneys.

America Has More Than Her Share
OF the Earth's Chimneys.
The name volcano is derived from Wal
canus, the god of fire of the ancient Ro-
mans. They are generally divided into
three classes-active, intermittent and
extinct. Stramboli, in the Mediterranean,
Is good example of the first class, MAX
ing fiery beacon light tor sailors on the
neighbOring sea. Etna and VesuVius are
good examples of the second kind. To
the popular mind they are the chImneys
OF the vast roaring furnace of heat IN the
bowels of the earth, and undoubtedly
serve as vents for the powerful gases that
might, II confined. create a total de-
struction to the crust upon which we
live.
There are supposed to be some 800 and
over of these chimneys upon the face of
the earth, two-thirds being situated upon
ISLANDS. America has about ia of these,
and more than any other geographical di-
vision of the globe. Earthquakes appear
eruptions, the energy of vapors and
gases in the earth struggling to find a
vent.
The same night that the city of Lima,
South America, was shaken down four
new volcanic vents were found in the
Andes. Soon after the earthquake in
Lisbon in 1855 there were some Of the
most violent eruptions ever known. AT
ter the destruction of Caracas the vol
cano OF st. Vincent became active, and
| at the beginning the earth was shaken for
space OF nearly 10000 square miles.
The movement of the earth during an
earthquake may be vertical, horizontal or
| whirllng. The most destructive shocks
are generally the shortest in duration.
That OF Lisbon, Nov. l, 1906, lasted about
six minutes. The three shocks that re-
| duced Caracas to ruins, March, 26, 1872,
were over in minute and most of the
| damage to the CITY of Conception, Feb.
| 90 1885, was done in six seconds. At
Lima, Peru, an average Of nearly fifty
shocks in year are expected, and in
some parts Of South America over sixty
have been counted in year, not reckon
ing the slight ones, which were still more
numerous.

Mexico AbQlishes One Of the Bar
4"+-s barisms Of Her Revenue
z@ 49, r,. System. =
Cry OF MExlco.-An important eco
nomic reform was formally proclaimed
recently. A movement has been going
on for some time for putting an end to
the system of taxation whereby the
states collected duties on national and
foreign merchandise in transit through
their respective territories, a system
which has been pronounced by railway
managers more harmful to the develop
ment Of the internal commerce OF the
country than any other plan that could
have been devised. In May last a con-
stitutional amendment was submitted to
the ststes.~ .forbidding the imposition of
transit duties, import duties Of the states
and on the expectation of merchandise,
other manufactured articles or products
Of the soil. The amendment also forbids
the states to assign special routes for the
conveyance of goods of native origin, as
has heretofore been done. It is expected
that congress will fix a uniform tax of s
per cent. ad valorem. The amendment
having been adopted by the majority OF
the states has received the sanction Of
both chamhers Of congress-, and was
proclaimed in the usual form, being read
at various points in the city and copies
Of It posted on the walls. The ceremony
took place between 9 o'clock and noon,
troops forming part of the official pro-
cession thorugh the city. No more inn
portant economic reform has ever been
put in oper tion in this country, and II
will undoubtedly lead to a large expan.
sion of trade, both foreign and domestic
1t is regarded with great favor hy the
business community as one OF the CHIEF
acts of the present ADMINISTRATION.
