1.-THE POSE: OF POWER."

A Doctor Says 1t Can Only Be ob-
 tained by Carrying the Body Right.
 The human body is a machine-a ma. chine in some respects not unlike 8 watch. If you bend the watch slightly you displace its parts .Qts organs, if you please), and then the watch will not go aright.
 The same is true of man. In his body every organ has its place. If his body is bent some or all of his vital organs are displaced. They cannot per form their work, and the man. like the watch, is out of order.
 How many of us are like thatY' We'll, in an examination covering sew eral thousand people I found less than one in hundred who was right. Nine ty-nine people out of hundred have displaced organs.
 I may add that I have never found disease in any organ that was habitual- ly carried in its normal place. The or gan always becomes displaced before it becomes diseased. ,l
 And what is the cause of this uni versal displacement? In word, the
 
 body in standing, in sitting, walking about and lying down. The trunk is merely a flexible, hollow cylinder in side of which the organs are supported, each in it's place. When, however, the body is bent and collapsed, as in most people, the organs drop out of their places and are crowded against each other. They are then unable to do their work, and thus they become diseased.
 Every case of chronic indigestion which I have ever examined has had a stomach that was hanging from two to five inches lower than it's right position "a condition known to medical men as gastroptosis.
 And the rare man who holds his body alright in standing, walking or sit ting, such a man is always man of power Cromwell was a man of this type. So were Napoleon, Washington and Bismarck. .,- .. ..t.-.
 "And how shall I restore my organs ninety-nine.
 By so developing the body that it is at all times erect. uplifted and expand ed. This will draw each organ into the position in which it can do its best work A glance at the pictures of the men I have mentioned will show you what I mean.
 AS to practical methods, take the fol- lowing exercise for five minutes four or Ave times day: 't
 Place the feet together, arms at sides. head back, chest up and forward, ab- domen in, knees back, weight on balls of feet-"the position of soldier" Throw the weight as far forward as yourcan. Hold the position from half to one minute. then relax. Repeat the exercise from six to twelve times. - Add to this reasonable habits of lly- ing, and in three months you will have gone far toward gaining the pose of power-Dr. Latson in Chicago Journal.

Swiss Naval wara.

References to the, Swiss navy are
 usually jocular. but 1t is none the less a fact that ships of war once Aoated and even fought on the waters of the lake of Geneva. The great fleet was that of the Duke of Savoy, who at the beginning of the fourteenth century maintained a number of war galleys armed with rams and protected by turrets and propelled by crew of oarsmen varying in number from for ty to seventy-twO. These vessels be sieged Versoix and even blockaded Geneva. But Geneva also had a fleet which helped in the capture of Chiffon in 1886, and when the Bernese an- nexed the canton of Vaud they. too had their dotilla. Their largest vessel was the Great Bear. with GA oarsmen. 8 guns and 15O fighting men, West minister Gazette.
