[Additions to tho English Lan
guage Occasionally Heard in
This Country and Eng
land.
niysophobla" is one of the latest ad
ditions to the English language. It 1s
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
fngers. Everything must be unsolled
and Immaculate. In the advanced
Stage of mysophobia the sufferer is
enable 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 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^
vanoed stages the sufferer eats clay be
sides being unusually lazy. At one of
the London polio# 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 la given a Mft from the country in s
market out lh return for which he as
sists the eartman to onload. “A dead
fcomer” was another carious expression
Med la 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 his heed. In
the case in question the charge was that
ef stealing lead. It was unfortunate for
foe 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 “jamblste” 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
jamblste. 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
irom an eiecinc ian or venumcor.
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 in one minuta
After all, the dotter has a good homely
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
I been found, however, that In a few cases
j It falls in its effect, in which case an ex

Starting “Bun” 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
bo 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 waa
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 thsy get frightened about

PENNSYLVANIA ANTHRACITE
Tonnage of Last Year Exceeded by Six
Million Tons That of Any
Previous Year.
The year 1903 stands as the high
water marl, of prosperity in the
anmraciie coal trade, as the tounage
for that year exceeded by more than
6,000,000 tons that of any previous
year, and the demand for coal was oo
good as to make it possible to dispose
of the product at prices which
brought a fair return to all con
cerned in the industry. Some signifi
cant liguies in connection with the
production of Pennsylvania anthra
cite during 1903 have been collected
by Mr. William W. Kuiey, special
agent of the United Sta; s geological
survey, and will be included in Mr.
E. W. Parker's report on (lie produc
tion of coal in 1903, which k a regular
feature of the survey 's annual volume
on the mineral resources of the United
States.
At the commencement of 1903 there
was practically no anthracite m stock,
as the amount which had been mined
after the strike of 1902 had gone
directly into consumption. All that
could be mined during the first three
months of 1903 was in Immediate de
mand.
With the opening of navigation and
a reduction in price on April 1, dealers
at all points endeavored to lay in an
ample supply of coal to meet their fall
and winter requirements. This made
a brisk demand for the product dur
ing the spring and summer months,
with the resultant accumulation of
stocks in dealers’ hands. The early
arrival of cold weather, however, and
the prolonged severity of the wlntei
created an unusually brisk demand
for coal.
In connection with the large pro
duction, It is Interesting to note the
Increase In the shipments of the small
sizes of coal during 1903 over those o(
previous years. This is especially
noteworthy on account of the opinion
generally expressed at the close of the
anthracite strike, that bituminous
coal had largely supplanted anthra
cite for steam purposes, and would
continue to hold this trade to the
exclusion of the small sizes of the lat
ter product On the contrary, how
ever, the consumption of these smaller
sizes of coal increased 2.46S.694 ton3 In
1903 over 1901. It would seem that
the only cause which would seriously
; affect the prosperity of the anthracite
business is the general condition oi
the entire country. As long as the
people at large are able to buy anthra
cite, it will not want a market
i It is also of interest to note an
increase of 15 cents in the average
value per ton for coal at the mines
The total production was 66,351,713
tons, valued at $152,036,448. The aver
age price per ton was $2.50; the num
ber of men employed was 150,483; and
the average number of days that each
man worked was 206.
Tables are given in the report whico
shows the production by counties for
the years 1902 and 1903; also the ship
ments of anthracite and the propor
tion of sizes shipped. A tabular ar
rangement of the various sections of
the anthracite fields is given, with a
list of ten railroads that enter the ter
The anthracite fields comprise an
area of somewhat over 480 square
miles, and are located in the eastern
middle part of the state, in the coun
ties of Carbon, Columbia, Lacka
wanna, Luzerne, Northumberland,
Schuylkill and Susquehanna. They
are classed under three general divi
sions, namely, the Wyoming, Lehigh
and Schuylkill regions. Geologically
they are divided into fields or basins,
which are again subdivided into dis
tricts.
The Bernice field, in Sullivan coun
ty, is not included in any of these re
gions. The classification of the prod
uct of this field is a matter of some
contention. The fracture of the coal
and some of it3 characteristics are
more like those of some bituminous
or semianthracite coals than strict
anthracite, but on account of its high
percentage of fixed carbon and low
percentage of moisture it is classed as
anthracite by the second Pennsyl
vania geological survey, and the
product is so included in this report.
