popular in Cairo during the last two

why P90Dl0 10R00t Names.
Many persons are especially forgetfm
with regard to names. They are EN-
barrassed to find that they cannot. on
the spur of the moment, recall the name
Of an acquaintance, or that of some To-
miliar object. although. In other re-
spects, their memory 10 not treacher-
Gus. DR.. Bastian, in discussing such
defects, recently quoted, with approval.
this explanation: 1.-THE more concrete
the idea the more readily is the word
used to designate it forgotten when
the memory fails. We easily represent
persons and things to ourselves with
ont their names. More absence COM
ceptions, on the contrary, are attained
only with the aid Of words, which alone
give them their exact shape in our
minds" Hence verbs, adjectives. pro-
nouns, adverbs, proportions and CON.
functions are more intimately related
to thought than nouns are, and can BE-
remembered when nouns, or names,
slip from the mind.-Youth's Compan-

cAlsNisALs. QUEER AoT&

Ines1oetlng Statistics 1n Regard g
EafaAg HuRaa Flesh.
Manuscript recently discovered In the
neighborhood Of Cairo gives some inter-
eating information in regard to canni-
balism. For thousands Of years tho
fashion Of eating human hesh prevailed
in Cairo and the adjoi1ingc country. The
object however. was not to satisfy hum
ger, but rather to honor the dead. Only
the arms and legs were eaten, and for
all we know to the contrary the remain
ing portions Of the bodies were treated
with becoming reverence.
Taking this estAblished fAct -
starting point. Flindegv Petrie, the
eminent English archaeologist, recently
Get himself to study the psychology OF
anthropophagy. and he was soon In pos
session Of several other equally remark
able facts. For example, he learned
that Of every 100 persons who cot hu-
man flesh 30 do 30 with the object OF
honoFing the dead a. well - Of securing
their good win, and thus obtaining for
themselves perfect happiness in the
next world. Such Il the custom OF the
Thibetans, ~ well - Of the Australian
and South American aborigines. The
Thibetans were especially wont to hold
most impressive religious ceremonies
while the cannibalistic feasts were GO
Ing on.
The Samoides do not hesitate 70 eat
their parents, and in defense o1 their
conduct they maintain that tho dead
win thus live more happily and Alto
gether more comfortably in the future
life. In ancient times certain tribes
invariably ate their deceased friends
and relatives, ~ they considered that
it would be . monstxous thing to hand
them over to the tender mercies Of the
worms. All cannibals, however, are not
actuated by such unsel6sh motives. Ac-
cording to q writer In the Journal dea
Debats, many cannibas eat human desh
with the object OF obtaining direct BEN
efits thereby. Thus we arc told that
10 per cent. of them eat the most stall
wart warriors who fall in battle, with
the hope of increasing their own cour-
age, and that they also eat dead chill
dren, with the object Of thus recovering
their lost youth. Again, ten per cent.
eat their nearest relatives through 70
ligious motives, since they hope thus "a
escape the wrath Of the gods. Moreover,
ave per cent. eat human flesh because
they hope in this manner 70 punish
those whom they are eating.
There il room for much further In
vestigation in this direction, and those
who know Mr.. Potrie are confident that
he WIN In the near future discover many
more equally interesting facts regard

investigated the subject TO experiment
with cycle riding upon asShmatic pa

He found, Arst of all, that bicycle
riding, whether BY invalids or well par
sons, increased the depth Of breathing
without fatigue. More air was taken
into the lungs to Aerate the blood.
Chest expansou increased sightly.
