NOVELTIES IN NAMES.
SOKE THAT WILL NOT BE APT

Odd Additions to the 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 has to be
gone through.
“Unciniariasis” 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,” 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
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 wm hunfflnr nv*r hla TiaaH Tn
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 danelng 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 pay
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
knpwn 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 in one minut*\
After all, the dotter has a good homelj
ring about it.
A terrible new name is “Thymace
tlnoxaethylacetamldothymol.” It ia
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 “Bon” 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 monev at once, and concluded
that the bank could not stafid 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
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. Thi6 son, it
is said, is Gen. Kuroki. Capt. Curique
died last year in France.—London

MILE-A-MINUTE WATER RIDE
Motor Boat Invented by Frenchman
Goes at Express Train
Speed.
Among the many interesting experi
ments with motor boats, says the Lon
don Mail, perhaps the most pictur
esque were those on the Seine at
Puteaux, when Compte de Lambert,
in conjunction with Messrs. De Dion
and Bouton, brought out their bateau
glisseur, or gliding boat. It is also
called a hydroplane, and that name is
really indicative of its construction.
With a De Dion 14-horse power mo
tor, the count attained a speed of 28
kilometers an hour in his first ex
periments, and now he has added to
that speed and has made 32 Kilome
ters, or 20 miles, in the hour.
The inventor of this hydroplane is
not, however, content with this, and
will try in a day or two to raise the
speed to 30 or even 40 kilometers, or
25 miles an hour, or a speed that is
not exceeded by the ubc of a 40-horse
power motor.
The boat itself is 36 feet long and
nine feet wide. To the bottom of the
boat are affixed five planes or fins.
When the boat is stationary these fins
hang vertically in the water. They
are hinged, however, and are all under
control of the driver. When the mo
tor is set in motion and the boat
begins to move these planes, begin
ning at the bow, are gradually given
a backward angle. The boat rises in
the water and then gradually rests
upon it, with the stern of the boat
only immersed. The speed increams,
and the boat, following the inclination
of the planes, glides along the surface
of the water just as an aeroplane
glides oh the aif, and with not much
more resistance.
It is confidently expected that with
. an increased horse-power motor the
hydroplane will reach a speed of 60
miles an hour.
TO AUCTION QUEEN'S GOODS
All Furniture and Treasures of Isa
bella of Spain Except Personal
Jewels to Go Under Hammer.
It has been decided that the personal
jewels of the late Queen Isabella of
Spain, who for many years lived in
Paris, will not be sold as expected.
The casket containing the precious
stones, necklaces, etc., has been pro
visionally deposited at a bank, and as
soon as the affairs of the late queen are
cleared up and the contents of her pal
ace disposed of the Comte Quiaqui,
who has charge of all these matters,
will distribute the jewels among th#
royal family of Spain.
On the other hand, the furniture, ob
jects of art and all the other treasures
in the Palais de Castille, Queen Isa
bella's home in the Avenue Kleber, op
posite the United States embassy, will
be sold at public auction.
The Marquis de Cuellar has gone to
San Sebastian to consult King Alfon
so’s wishes on the subject and the auc
tion will probably take place early in
the autumn. The catalogue is being
prepared.
It is well known that the contents of
the Palais de Castille are marvels of
beauty and worth and constitute a veri
table museum. Several offers have
been made for the palace itself and the
surrounding gardens, but nothing defi
nite has yet been accepted. The estate
covers 4,600 square yards of land,
valued at $160 to $200 a yard.
HAS FEW TRADE FACILITIES
Mobile Merchant Experiences Diffi
culties in Getting Goods to Cap
ital of Guatemala.
A Mobile merchant sold some cotton
goods not long ago to be delivered at
Guatemala City. Within 300 feet of his
warehouse a steamer was loading for
Puerto Barrios, whence runs a railway
to within 60 miles of the Guatamalan
capital. To reach the latter the goods
would have to be packed over the moun
tains by Indians or on muleback. The
merchant found it cheaper to ship by
way of San Francisco, thence by boat to
San Jose, Guatamala, and to the cap
ital by rail. New Orleans, terminus of
the Southern Pacific, is almost next door
I to Mobile. New York, however, . en
I joyed a cneaper rate Decause mere was
! competition with the routes across the
1 Atlantic and thence round Cape Horn.
| So the goods were sent by boat to New
York, thence by boat back to New Or
leans, and thence on their way, going
nearly 10,000 miles instead of 1,100 by
the Puerto Barrios route. This inabil
ity to get at the west coast markets has
done much to keep American goods o\it
of them. Guatamala has now arranged
for the speedy completion of the rail
way from the Caribbean to the capital,
i and a cheap direct route will thus be
| opened.

ASPARAGUS HAS A LINEAGE
Romans Held Vegetable in High Es
teem Many Tears Before
Christ.
Of all food plants there is none which
has been so long known or been pos
sessed of so distinguished a lineage as
the asparagus. Its records reach back
almost to the beginning of authentic his
tory, and it is mentioned by the comic
poet Cratinus, who died about 435 B. C.
The Romans held the vegetable in high
esteem. The elder Cato wrote a work
which is still extant, “De re Rustica,”
and it treats at length of the virtues and
proper cultivation of asparagus. Pliny,
in his natural history, written about
60 A. D., has much to say about it. He
feelingly observes: “Of all the products .
of your garden your chief care should be
asparagus,” and he devotes several
chapters to its many good qualities and
the best methods of raising it He as
serts that the soil about Ravenna was so
favorable to its production that three
heads grown in that district had been
known to weigh a Roman pound. This
pound seems to have been about equal
to 11 dunces in our day, so it would ap
parently have taken four of the stalks
to have reached a pound of our weight.
The asparagus being essentially a
southern plant, it Is possible that the
stock growing in Italy was of a more
vigorous growth than that of our north
ern clime. It is found ail around the
shores of the Mediterranean and
branches off into four or five distinct
species besides the one ordinarily used
for edible purposes.
WON BY ORDINARY TALK.
Lack of Arm dentures and Conversa
tional Tone Wins Heart of
Doubtful Malden.
Congressman William H. Jackson, of
Maryland, was engrossed in discussing
with a number of colleagues the deca
dence -of oratory, says the New York Her
ald. “Sane people are not emotional,”
declared the congressman, “and the con
versational delivery of speech carries
as much weight with an intelligent
audience as does the effort of a declaim
er who indulges in brilliant periods with
an arm-swinging acompaniment.”
“You are right," said a listener, “and
your statement reminds me of a young
lady who had two suitors. Both mea
had about the same advantages and
prospects, but gossip declared that the
girl would decide in favor of the maa
who was a lawyer, for he knew better
how to present and win his case. Gos
sipe erred; the lawyer was rejected,
j L^ater it was learned from a friend In
whom the betrothed had confided her
reason for her choice.

BIG BEE RANCH IN ’FRISCO
Public School Principal of Coast City
Harvests a Third of a Ton
of Honey a Season.
There is a bee rinch with more than
1,000,000 bees in the heart of one of the
densest residence districts of San Fran
cisco. It is owned by Philip Prior, prin
cipal of a public school, and is in the
little back yard of his home. For ten
yearn he has kept his bees there, has
harvested about a third of a ton of
honey each season and has been at no
expense for food for his interesting and
industrious pets. Although it is a dis
tance at two and one-half miles from
the Prior bee ranch to Golden Gate park,
the bees make the trip there, collect
loads of honey and get back to the hiye
in two minutes, making a bullet-like
Sight at the surprising rate of 150 miles
an hour. Mr. Prior has demonstrated
this by having an observer watch cer
tain bee-favored places In the park and
exactly timing the arrival there of bees
he purposely sprinkled with flour as
they issued from a hive. He has also
kept time on the absence of the whitened
bees.
BIG PROFIT IN BATHHOUSE
Average New York Seashore Besort
Beceives Nearly $2,000 a Day
for Booms Alone.
If vou doubt that the nickel and quar
ter business doesn’t pay, consider the
money-making propensities of the aver
age seashore bathhouse around New
York, and make over your opinion. A
representative bathing pavilion has
1,500 bath compartments. It coBts 20
cents to rent one. On a medium hot
summer’s day some $800 are derived
from renting these rooms, for the com
partments are used in the coutse of the
day by about 4,000 persons. Bathing
suits rent for 25 cents each. There
would be 8,000 of them for such a pavil
ion, which means $1,000 a day if half of
them are rented once; and it is fair to
assume that three-fourths of the 4,000
bathers pay five cents for the use of a
comb and brush—$150. A total of near
ly $2,000, to say nothing of the proceeds
from restaurant, bar, barber shop and
indoor baths.
Italy’s Emigrants.
In the past 30 years Italy has sent
more than 2,000,000 persons to the
United States, says the World’s Work.
A number of these have returned in the
course of time, taking with them care
fully hoarded savings. A very large
majority have remained in the United
States.

PARACAMPH CURES
BHEU2IATISM.
Ooart Nothing If it Tail*.
Any honest person who suffers with
Rheumatism is authorized to go to their
druggist today and get a bottle of Para
camph, use as directed, and if it fails to
do exactly what we claim, go back to
their druggist and get their money. Par
acamph is recommended as a modem
scientific treatment for all Rheumatic
Swellings and Neuralgic troubles. It re
lieves on Nature’s plan. That is when
applied it opens the pores, penetrates
directly to the teat of the ailment soothing
the inflamed skin, muscles and joints re
ducingt he swelling by removing the con
gestion, drawing out the fever and inflam
mation by inducing sweating. It sweats
the disease out of the body through
the pores of the skin. This is why Para
camph is superior to the many internal
strong, drastic drags that upset the stom
ach, shatter the nerves, and undermine
the general health. Our guarantee is
made to convince you of our faith in Par
acamph. We have of course, tested its
merits thoroughly in many and various
cases. We know therefore exactly what
it will do. So don’t hesitate, but get a
bottle of Paracamph today, and after two
or three applications you will be convinced
that we claim only for Paracamph exactly
what it will do.
Paracamph is sold only in 25 cent, 50
cent and $1.00 bottles. The larger sizes
are cheaper for family use. Write for
book of testimonials. The Paracamph
