ROYALTIES IN NAMES.
SOME THAT WILL NOT BE APT
TO GROW COMMON.
Odd Additions to tlie English Lan
guage Occasionally Heard in
This Country and Eng
land.
"Mysophobia” is one of the latest ad
ditions to the English language. It is
the name of 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.
It does not matter how clean or pure it
may be, the wiping process haa to be
gone through.
"Unciniariasis” is anothr novel com
plaint, or, rather, it is a novel name for
an old complaint. Itis the disease which
causes the existence, in certain states, 6f
degenerates known as “crackers,” or
“poor whites; ” in fact, it is the germ of
laziness which has been isolated. In ad^
vanced stages the sufferer eats clay be
sides being unusually lazy. At one of
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 man
who is given a lift from the country in a
market cart in return for which he as
sists the cartman to unload. “A dead
corner” was another curious expression
UBCU 1 JLi a. J_iULlU<JIl JJUilUt? tUUI l. J. JJ UC*
tective said it was a well-known expres
sion used by a person w'hen he could not
very well free himself from a charge
which was hanging over his head. In
the wise in question the charge was that
of stealing lead. It was unfortunate for
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 per
son was sued for lessons given in danc
ing. The defendant denied that he re
ceived any lessons, but said that he sim
ply attended the dancing classes as a
jambiste. A jambiste, it is explained, is
a young society man who occupies his
leisure hours by acting as an auxiliary
at a school of dancing. He is there for
the purpose of dancing with any of the
women who are in want of a partner.
It appears that he furnishes his services
at the danoing school gratuitously. His
hope of reward usually is that he may
meet a rich young heiress at the school,
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.
Bv 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 w'ith eight shells in one minutw
After all. the dotter has a good bomel>
ring about it.
A terrible new name is “Thymace
tinoxaethylacetamidothymol.” 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
limidcoxyathyhymol. 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 ft, and the news
spread that the bank was in danger.
A “run” followed, and the depositors
were not satisfied that the bank was
sound 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.
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

MARK HANNA’S COURTSHIP
• ■ fi
How, When a Young Grocer, He
Wooed and Won the Daughter
of Daniel Rhodes.
Nearly 38 years ago Mark Hanna
was just starting on his business ca
reer as a grocer in Cleveland. He
was poor, plodding, and to the casual
observer a very every-day sort of young
man, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Daniel Rhodes was cme of the rich
coal owners of the state. He had one
daughter, Gussie, the very idol of his
soul. Around this lovely girl the
brusque old father had wreathed all
the sentiment, all the hopes of his fu
ture existence. Everything was to be
(Tone for Gussie. Mrs. Rhodes, her
fond mother, was a joint idolator at
the daughter’s shrine, and the doting
parents had dreams of a rich, influen
tial suitor, a splendid marriage and a
brilliant social career for Gussie,
when, as usual, the unexpected hap- i
pened. Gussie Rhodes met and loved
the obscure, poor young man, Mark
Hanna. Mr. Rhodes was astounded
when the daring young grocer called
upon him and asked for the hand of his
daughter. He refused absolutely to
grant the young suitor even time 1
enough to beg. He said “no" curtly
and sharply, and when he saw his
daughter he tried to scold her, but in* |
stead he took her in his honest arms
and begged her not to think of “this
unknown man, Hanna." He said he
never, never could consent to such a
choice for his child. < |
Gussie Rhodes told her father, witn
many a reassuring embrace, that she
would never marry without his con
I sent, and she added: “But, papa dear,
I shall never marry any man but Mark
Hanna.”
Then she promised her father not to
see her lover or write to him for a
year at least. She kept her promise, ,
and in the course of a few weeks, ah
though she never audibly murmured,
and was sweetly gentle and loving to
nail about her, she grew pale and wan.
She neither ate no slept. The old fa- ,
fcher was at his wit’s end. Some one
proposed a foreign tour for that change
Of scene which is supposed to work
wonders in heart affections, and,
presto at a few hours’ notice, father,
mother and daughter were on board
an Atlantic liner.
For nearly a year the "change of
scene” prescription was faithfully pur
sued and the patient, always cheerfully
submissive, gentle and charming, ob
viously grew frailer day by day. Al
most in despair the old man brought
his child home again and one morn
ing he gathered the courage to ask
her if she till cared for Mark Hanna.
"Why, father,” she neplied, “I shall
-lways love Mark; I told you that,
you know, a year ago.”
Poor old “Uncle Dan” Rhodes! That
was a bitter day for him, but he was
equal to the occasion. Sending for the
obscure young man, he said to him:
"Mr. Hanna, Gussie loves you, that is
my only reason for accepting you as
her future husband. You are poor, f’ll
fix it so Gussie can live as she has
been accustomed to and I suppose I
must see you marry her.”
Now the coming young man cast ever
Bo slight a shadow of his future great
ness on the opportunity of the present.
“Mr. Rhodes ” said he, "I most grate
fuify accept the gift of your daughter’s
love. To marry her is for this world to
become a paradise for me, but I cannot
make her my wife unless she will be
content to live as my means will enable
us. I can neither accept aid nor per
mit my wife to accept it from any
one.”
So Mark Hanna and Gussie Rhodes
were married, ana the bride went from
her father’s big house to live in a tjny
little cottage, where with one maid of
all work, she was as happy as a queen
for some years.

LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
The American in That Country Soon
Becomes Conscious of Its
Restrictions.
What is it, at bottom, that makes
the English atmosphere so difficult
for an American to breathe in freely? 1
It is, 1 believe, that he feels himself
in a country where the dignity of life
is lower than in his own; a country
where a man born in ordinary cir
cumstances expects, and is expected, to
die in ordinary circumstances; where
the scope of his efforts is traced be
forehand by the accident of position; j
where he is handicapped in all cases
and crushed in most by the superin
cumbent weight of caste, convention,
“good form” and the deadening artifi
cialities of an old society, comments a
writer in the North American Review.
That unconquerable buoyancy which
Vifects the American air like a sting
anu challenge, and braces every Ameri
can wit& T. e inspiration that he has a
chance in lit,}; that there are open op
portunities, unreserved possibilities,
no battering at locked doors, no floun
dering in blank alleys; that here, in
short, it is the man himself who
makes his career—is sometniitg which
the English have so utterly lost as to
be incapable of realizing it.
For Purifying Air.
Pure breathing air can now be main
tained in a small closed space by the
use of machinery. The device consists
of a distributor, which, by the action of
clockwork, drops sodium peroxide into i
water at regular intervals, a cubical
Bteel box and a ventilating fan. The
Bodium peroxide is decomposed by the
water with liberation of oxygen, ab
sorption of carbon dioxide and destruc
tion of the other toxic products of res
piration. A refrigerator is also sup- ^
plied to counteract the heating effects ,
of the chemical reactions. The com
plete apparatus weighs about if
pounds.—Detroit News-Tribuna.

The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda*
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
I
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in tlie cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
twin any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a eery moderate price, quality coumdered
