ing compelled to get up during the
night to urinate. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. Sold by druggists at

The Vulcan, $500 tons, with radius
of action of $4,000 miles at ten knots an
hour, or 5000 at IS knots, is regarded
as one of the most capable ships in the
British navy. Her French compeer is
the Tage, 1885 tons, which has radius
of $500 miles at ten knots. The Italia,
$4,000 tons, Italy's best ship, has coal
capacity of s,036 miles at ten knots
an hour. From this it will be seen that
no European navy has any vessel that
can compare with the Oregon and other
vessels of the United States navy which
can steam 10000 miles at ten knots az

ABOUT SHARKS
Essay of Young Naturalist on the Mon-
sters of the Deep.


An examiner of lads under 16 for the
civil service commission gave for
uuestion: Describe the habits OF
fish, Here is literal transcript OF
one out of a batch of some hundreds OF
answers:
"The shark is about 90 feet long and
has five rows of teeth when the shark
is going to catch his pray it turns on
its side. The sharks are found in India,
where they are very numerous IN
Africa, etc. The way they catch sharks
is lowering piece of meat ON sharp
hook land sailors will do it for amuse :
ment), and the shark is very hungry
always, thae he will grab at the meal
and find himself caught. One OF his
foes are the sord fish 4 will go and run
its sword through it's stpmmick.
| 'When the shark has been f1oatins
about on the water for some time 1t
gets a lot of small fish in it's mouth
and they will go and lay on the beach
and let small birds come in their mouth
and pick them off and will not hurt
them. The shark can live in water and
ON land. Going from England to In
dia YOU will see sharks in the nile
they will follow ships for many miles
on purpose to get some meat. and ther
perhaps not get any. They are dl1

sitting Erect.

Very many persons. in taking seat,
use the edge of it only, with the result
that in a very short time they seem to
be doubling up. the head bending for
ward over the chest. The easiest meth
Cd of sitting erect, and in graceful po-
sition, is to occupy the chair in such a
way that the lowest part OF the spine
or backbone touches the back OF the
seat; then, by causing the shoulders
also to touch the back, the whole body Is
erect and maintains itself, not only
without an effort, but with feeling OF
support. relief and rest, and that, too,
without any appreciable effort. Any
position maintained by the aid OF q
brace is forced, and is secured by an in
Jury done to some other part, which
not only has to support itself, but aid
in supporting parts not intended, hence
must in time itself need aid from Other
sources, and thus the mischief goes on
