We live in Country of which the principa
scourge Is stomach-trouble.
1t is more widespread than any other disease,
and very nearly, more dangerous.
One thing that that makes it so dangerous is
that 1t is so little understood.
If it were better understood, it would be more
feared, easily cured less universal than it is
now.
So, those who wish to be cured, take Shaker
Digestive Cordial because it goes to the root Ct
the trouble as no other medicine does. The pure
harmless, curative herbs and plants, of which it
is composed, are what render it 80 certain and,

could get out, There was also burned in
the barn horse, COW, and pair of steers,
belonging to Mr.. Davoll. The buildings
were insured but the stock was not.

from Belfast, .Me., bringing with him
nothing but pair of strong hands and
college education. He was sober and
Industrious and within few years. by
hard work, directed by superior intelIi-
gence, gained a controlling interest in
several of the richest mines In Nevada.
These were the Wild West, the Del

luck. His credit was almost without

the bank of this city upon the security
of his mining properties. Gam BILE ayailed

In 1865 he brought part of the great

fine cattle and horses and in erecting ON

found himself unable to. meet their de-

creditors sold him out, and he was left
with what he had gained in the interyen-

New York, Secretary William Osborne
of Massachusetts, will be in charge. It
is understood that vigorous campaign
will be at once instituted for the pur-
pose OF meeting and combating the sill

1t is oonceded by the members of the
committee that just now the silver senti-

act it and restrict its further growth
No choice has yet been made of the
ninth member of the executive commit
tee, and 1t may not be announced until
the advisory committees are named. and
ii may be that the place will not be filled
at all.
Mr. Hanna's notice has been called
to suggestion in connection with fill
ing this vacancy as a solution Of the New
York complications. That is, to give
Mr.. Platt the place. and make Cornelius

CHEAP MONEY AND WAGE FARMERS
An Instructive Lesson From English His
tory-Bad Kings and Bad ParIiaments
Caused Less Suffering than Bad shiIlings

tory-Bad Kings and Bad parlfauepts
Caused Less Suffering than Bad shillings
(From Macaulay's History Of England.
1t may we'll Ebs doubted whether all
the misery which had been inflicted on
the English nation In quarter Of a CEN
fury by bad kings. bad ministers. bnd
Parliaments, and bad judges was equal
to the misery caused in couple Of wears
by bad shillings. The misgovernment of
Charles and James, gross as it Ind been,
had not prevented the common business
Of life from going steadily End prosper
ously on. Whether Wings or Tories, Pro-
testants or Jesuits, were uppermost, the
grazler drove his beasts to market; the
grocer weighed out his cnrrants; the
draper measured out his broadoloth; the
hum of buyers and sellers was as loud
as ever in the towns; the harvest home
was celebrated as joyously as ever In the
hamlets; the cream overlooked the pals
of Cheshire; the apple juice foamod In
the presses of Il erefordshire; the piles OF
crookery glowed In the furnaces of the
Trent; and the barrows of coal rolled fast
along the timber railways of the Tyne.
But when the great instrument Of ex-
change became thoroughly deranged, all
trade, all industry. were smitten as with
q palsy. The evil was felt daily and
hourly, in almost every place, and by
almost every class, in the dairy and on
the threshing floor, by the anvil and by
the loom, on the pillows of the ocean and
in the depths Of the mine. Nothing
could be purchased without a dispute.
Over every counter there was wrangling
from morning to night. The workman
and his employer had quarrel as sIegu-
larry as the Saturday came round. On q
fair day or market day the elRmors, the
reproaches, thestaunts, the curses, were
incessant; and itswas we'll If not both
was overturned and no head broken. No
merchant would contract to deliver goods
without making some stipulation about
the quality OF the coin in which he was
TO be paid Even men sof business were
often bewildered by the confusion into
which all pecuniaiy transactions were
thrown. The simple and oHreless were
rillaged without mercy by extortioners,
whose demands grew even more rapidly
than the money shranK. The price of
the necessaries of life, of shoes. Of ale, of
oatmeal, rose fast. The laborer found
that the bit of metal, (which, when he
received 1t, was soalled shilling, would
hardly, when he wanted to purchase a
pot OF beer, or a loaf of rye bread, go AS
far as sixpence. Where artisans Of more
than usual intelligence were collected in
great numbers, as in the dookyards at
Chatham, they were able to make their
complaints heard and TO sobtain redress.
But the ignorant and helpless peasants
were cruelty ground between one class
which would give money only by tale
and another which would take it only by
weight.

HOW MANY CANDLE POWER.
The Way to Measure the Lighting Power
and Effect of Flame.

This question and its answer have been
until recently of interest to scientists
only, says 'Pearson's Weekly" But
since one method of lighting is compet-
Ing with the other for superiority, the
question Of lighting power has seemingly
become a public matter. How many
candle power? The question: is very sim
pie and yet mysterious to the layman.
For measuring the lighting power the
most reliable results are obtained by
means Of a grease spot In its most sim
pie application the experiment. can be
tried easily at home. A sheet of white
paper with grease spot in the centre is
put into frame and placed tetween two
flames of different lighting power; for
instance. between the ordinary candle
and q lamp.
When the frame is equally distant from
tire two unequally bright flames the
grease spot can bs seen plainly on both
Sizes. BY moving the frame with the
sheet of paper slowly toward the less
brilliant liEht-that is. the candle-it
VIII arrive finally ut @ point where the
grzase spot has apparently disappeared
on boah sides of the paper. This decep-
won must always occur when on both
\sifos Of the paper an equal brightness
prevails and no side light exists. Having
reached this point 1t can be asoerteined
how much stronger is the light of the
lamp than that Of the candle d
If the candle is twenty inches distant
from the paper and the lamp sixty in
Dhes, and yet the brightness on bott.sides
Of the paper is the same, then the light
nj the lamp will be as strong as that of
nine candles. The calculation is based
upon the distances, the figures OF which
are multiplied oF themselves and then
hivided here, for instance, 60 times 80
dlylded by 20 divided by 20 equals 9.
This, OF course, is the most primitive
method for measuring light, but it ia
the principle for all the delicate iustru-
msnts used in the laboratories.
