NOVELTIES IN NAMES
SOME THAT . WILL NOT APT
TO QEOW COMMON.^
Odd Additions to the English La a.
guage occasionally Heard in
This Country f/nd Eng
land. I
‘‘Mysophofda’’ is one of the latest ad
ditions to the English language. It la
the name cf a complaint which most
people will recognize. Probably its
commonest name is, morbid fastidious
ness. Persons who suffer from myso
phobia, says the London Hour Glass,
become very faddy in their manner.
They are very particular that there Is
not even a spot on the tablecloth’s
snowy surface. Every plate and dish
and glass that is brought to them Is
eagerly scanned for any trace of dirty
fingers. Everything must be unsoiled
and immaculate. In the advanced
stage of mysophobia the sufferer is
unable to resist the temptation to wipe
every article that is placed before him.
Ft does not matter how clean or pure It
may be, the Lipins process has to be
gone through.
*‘Unciniariasi3” is anothr novel com
plaint, or, rather, it is a novel name for
an old complaint It is the disease which
causes the existence, in certain states, of
degenerates known as "crackers,” os
“poor whites; ” in fact, it is the gerni of
laziness which has been isolated. In ad«
vanced stages the sufferer eats clay be
sides being unusually lazy. At one ot
the London police courts the magistrate
was sorely amazed by a witness describ
ing the prisoner as a “trance.” It turned
out eventually that a "trance” is a maa
who Is given a Hft from the country In a
market cart in return for which he as
sists the cartman to onload. "A dead
homer” was another curious expression
nwH ill a London nnHtw rmirt Th. Ha.
tective said it was a well-known expres
sion used by a person when he could not
very well free himself from a charge
which was hanging over his head, In
the cose in question the charge was that
ef stealing lead. It was unfortunate fo#
the prisoner that he was a “dead
homer."
A “gawkrodger," “scrammy,” “caggy,"
and a “cuddypaw*’ are all different Eng
lish names for a left-handed man. But
a “jambiste” is about the latest name
This came out in a case in which a pew*
! son was sued for lessons given in dane
1 fng. The defendant denied that he re
ceived any lessons, bat said that he ala
ply attended the dancing classes aa a
jambiste. A jambiste, It is explained, te
a young society man who occupies hia
leisure hours by acting as aa auxiliary
at a school of dancing. He is there tor
j the purpose of dancing with any of the
I women who are in want of a partner,
j It appears that he furnishes his services
'at the dancing school gratuitously. Hie
hope of reward usually Is that he may
i meet a rich young heiress at the school,
i and be able to marry her.
“Electrofannite” is a peculiar kind of
indisposition produced by the draught
from an electric fan or ventilator.
A “kitchen piano” is a name which
might puzzle a good many people. It ap
peared in a case tried at the Clerkenwell
county court that among furniture mov
ers a wringer or mangle Is invariably
known as a “kitchen piano.”
The “dotter” is an instrument which
has now been adopted by the admiralty.
By the use of this instrument the firing
accuracy of the weapon is enhanced
greatly. With its aid a gunner has been
able to hit a target at 2,000 yards eight
times with eight shells to one minuhfc
After all, the dotter has a good homelj
ring about it.
A terrible new name is “Thymace
tlnoxaethylacetamidothymol.” It is
highly recommended as a medicament to
people who suffer from “nerves.” It has
been found, however, that, in a few cases
it fails in its effect, in which case an ex
cellent substitute is stated to be Acety
limldcoxyathyhymol. An excellent
thing for the nerves!
Starting “Run” on Bank.
While a woman was waiting to de
posit five dollars in a New England
savings bank she saw a man draw
out $900. She had never before seen
so much money at once, and concluded
that the bank could not stand such a
heavy drain on its resources. She told
her friends about it, and the news
spread that the bank was in danger.
A “run” followed, and the depositors
were not satisfied that the bank was
Bound until between ten and twenty
thousand dollars had been withdrawn.
The men who read this paragraph need
not say that the thing would not have
happened if it had not been for a silly
woman. Full-grown men, with years
of business experience, do just as silly
things when they get frightened about
losing their money.—Youth’s Compan
ion.
Kuroki’s Name.
Several French soldiers, survivors of
the Chinese expedition of 1856, are re
sponsible for the statement that Gen.
Kuroki is in reality haif French. His
name, they say, is properly spelled
Curique. According to the story of
these soldiers, a French officer, Capt.
1 Curique, while serving in China in
1856, married a Japanese girl. A son
was born to them, who was given the
Japanese name Kuroki, corresponding
to the French Curique. This son, it
Is said, is Gen Kuroki. Capt. Curique
died last year in France.—London

Brain
W orkers.
Brain workers suffer from
headache because they over-tax
and exhaust the brain nerves.
Tired, irritated, turbulent
brain nerves throb and ache;
this weakens the brain power,
and robs the memory.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
bring tranquility to the ex
cited nerves and stop the pain.
If not relieved, this nerve
disturbance is frequently ex
tended to the stomach, causing
nausea, vomiting—sick head
ache.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
are convenient to take—just a
little tablet, that in a few mo
ments relieves the pain; they
leave no disagreeable after
effects, as they contain no
opium, morphine, cocaine or
chloral in any form.
“From personal experience I can
testify that Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
are a most excellent remedy for head
ache and neuralgia. I have been a
great sufferer from both diseases for
the past three years. A friend who
had also suffered from neuralgia
handed me some of the Anti-Pain
Pills. I took them and they gave me
almost Instant relief. Since then I
have a package at home, and another
at the office, and they never fail to
relieve me." R. V. MEGARY,
937 S. Sawyer St., Chicago, Ills.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills are sold by
your druggist, who will guarantee that
the first package will benefit. If It
fails he will return your money.
