Why people FORGET Names.

Many persons are especially forget
full with regard to names. They are
embarrassed to find that they cannot,
on the spur of the moment, recall the
name of an acquaintance, or that of
some familiar object, although, in other
respects, their memory is not treacher-
Gus. Doctor Bastian, in discussing
such defects, recently quoted, with ap-
proval, this explanation: "The more
concrete the idea the more readily Is
the word used to designate it forgot
ten when the memory fails. We easily
represent persons and things to our
selves without their names. More alb
stract conceptions, on the contrary, are
attained only with the aid of words.
which alone give them their exact
shape in our minds" Hence verbs,
adjectives. pronouns, adverbs, preposi-
lions and conjunctions are more inti-
mately related to thought than nouns
are, and can be remembered when
nouns, or names, slip from the mind.

England. EIght-Hour Movement.

AS the eight-hour day is so proInin-
emily before the public just now, spe-
cial interest attaches to the informa-
ton just given by Mr.. Llewellyn Smith,
the commissioner for labor, to the
board of trade, in his annual report on
changes in wages and hours of labor.
He has exhibited in a table the prog
ress of the eight-hour movement during
the four years 1893 94-'95-'96. This
shows that the eight-hour day has in
these four years been adopted for 56,223
workpeople; but not all of them stuck
to the eight-hour day. A small per-
centage-the number being 1,121--Te-
verified to their former hours of labor.
By far the greater number of eight
hour employees are in the service of the
public authorities. OF the $4,000 who
had their hours reduced to eight In the
four years ending December, 1896. less
than 1000. were employed in private

TO DREDGE THE YUKON.
st. Louis Capitalists VIII Send Boa
Up In the Spring.

st. Louis Capitalists VIII Send Boat
Up in the Spring.
A st. Louis company has been Or
ganized with the avowed purpose of
taking up the bottom of the Yukon
river. They expect to put it carefully
back when they get through with it,
but by that time it will be no more
attractive than the bottom of the Miss
issippi, for the company will have all
the gold there was in it. Already a
mining engineer is at Chilkoot Pass,
en- route to the golden waters, and as
soon as his report is received work will
be commenced on dredgeboat of spe-
cial design which it is believed will get
everything worth having out of the
river in no time. The boat will draw
about 20 inches of water, and will be
about ITO feet long large enough for
the purpose Of this expedition. 1t will
be equipped with sand pump, which
will handle 200 tons per hour. Patent
sluice boxes will be placed on each
side Of the boat, running it's entire
length, and so arranged that all gold
will be saved, however fine. During
the season, the dredge will operate "a
hours a day. In sand which runs but
$50 ton, which is a conservative es-
innate, it will be seen that the boat
will have a capacity of $780, 900 day.
The boat will be built of cedar and
steel, braced every 10 feet with water
tight bulk-heads, separating the boat
into air chambers, making it impos-
sible to founder or become easily
wrecked. The expedition will be pro-
visioned for two years, and gasoline
launch will act as tender, making
regular trips to the mouth of the
Yukon, thus keeping connection with
the base of supplies, bringing in pro-
visions and taking out the output. The

How to Sit.

What the man and woman of today
need most is not so much athletics in a
gymnasium, but plenty of fresh air in
the lungs. Instead of quantity of vio-
lent exercise that leaves one weak for
several hours afterward it is above all
necessary to learn to breathe properly,
stand properly and sit properly. AS
regards the latter, it is by no means
such an unimportant question as some
seem to imagine. A proper sitting posi-
ton requires that the spine shall be
kept straight, and that the support
needed for the upper part Of the body
shall be felt in the right place. 1t is
therefore advisable to sit as far back
as possible in the chair, so that the
lower end of the spine shall be braced
back Is straight, the shoulders will also
rest against it; if not, they will have
no point of support, and it will be
found that they do not need it. This
position makes no strain upon the liga-
ments of the spine. 1t allows proper
position for the shoulders, consequently
of the chest and lungs, stomach and
every other organ of the body. Their
work is carried on naturally and COM
fortably, as is also the circulation Of
the blood, which, in wrong sitting
position, is seriously interfered with.
With the feet resting squarely upon the
floor, the hands resting easily upon
the lap, perfect equilibrium and, con-
sequently, perfect rest of the body is
secured. There is no strain upon any
part of the body; no muscle or organ
is required to do more than its legiti-
mate amount of work. The arms
should never be folded, for that posi-
ton not only causes a strain upon the
spine, and all the other evils already
referred to, but, in addition, places the
weight OF the arms upon the stomach
and the diaphragm.

material Is increasing very rapidly. 1t
is proof against heat, cold and moist
ure, and is especially adapted to facto-
ries and for covering roofs, protecting
wooden castings against frost and ooz-
ing, and makes an admirable cover for
boilers. 1t can be made in any shape,
and bricks made of this material can
be used for building in the coolest
weather, being protected by the paste,
and the houses may be occupied inn
mediatey without injury from damp
ness. 1t is economical, durable and in
combustible, which renders it peculiar
ly desirable for hotels, theaters,
churches, schoolhouses and other pub
lie buildings.
