"Mysophobia” is one of the latest ad
ditions to the English language. It 1*

people will recognize. Probably He

phobia, says the London Hour Glae*.
become very faddy In their manner.
They are vary particular that there la
not even a spot on the tablecloth’a
snowy surface Every plate and dlah
and glass that is brought to them la
eagerly scanned for any trace of dirty
fingers. Everything must be unsoiled
and Immaculate. In the advanced
etage 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 has to be
gone through.
“Uncinlariasis" is anot.hr novel com
plaint, or, rather, it is a novel name for
an old complaint. Itisthe disease which
causes the existence, in certain states, of
degenerates known as "crackers,” or
"poor whites; ” in fact, it is the germ of
laziness which has been isolated, In'ad'j
vanced states 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 Nft from the country In a
market cart In return for which he as
sists the cartman to unload. “A dead
homer’' was another curious expression
used in a London police court. The de
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 bis head. In
the case 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 dancing 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 Clerkenweil
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.
12- 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 in one minuhv
After all. the dotter has a good homeb
ring about It.
A terrible new name is “Thymace
tlnoxaethylacetamidothymol.” It is
highly recommended as amedlcament to
people who suffer from “nerves.” It has
been found, however, that in a few cases
it falls in its effect, In which case an ex
cellent substitute is stated to be Acety
limidcoxyathyhvmol. An excellent
thing for the nerves!
Starting “Run” on Bank. .
While a woman was waiting to de
posit live dollars in a New England
savings bank she saw a man draw
out $900. She had never before seen
•o 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 depositor*
were not satisfied that the bank was
sound until between ten and twenty
thousand dollars had be-en withdrawn.
The men who read this paragraph need
not say that the thing would not have
happened if it had not been for a aitly
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 half 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
; 1S56, 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
