NOVELTIES IN NAMES,
SOME THAT WILL NOT BE API
TO GROW COMMON.
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 U
the name of a complaint which most
people will recognize. Probably iti
commonest name is morbid fastidious
aess. Persons who suffer from myso
phobia, says the London Hour Glass,
become very faddy in their manner.
They are very particular that there ia
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 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
•auses 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 fift 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
eion used by a person when he could not
very well free himself from a charge
which was hanging over his head. In
the case in question the charge was that
of stealing lead. It was unfortunate foe
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 “jambiate” Is about the latest name.
This came out in a case In which a per
son was sued for lessons given in dane
fng. The defendant denied that he re
ceived any lessons, but said that he sim
ply attended the dancing classes as a
Jambiste. A jamblste, It is explained, ta
a young society man who occupies his
leisure hours by acting as an auxiliary
at a school of dancing. He to there tor
the purpose of dancing with any of the
women who are in want of a partner.
It appears that he furnishes his services
at ths 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 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 minuter
After all, the dotter has a good homely
ring about it.
A terrible new name is "Thymace
tinoxaethylacetamldothymol." It is
highly recommended as a medicament 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
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 it, and the news
spread that the bank was in danger.
A “run” followed, and the depositors
were not satisfied that the bank tu
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
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

ONLY A RIVER WHITEFISH.
Story of Man Who Knew Fish Whea
He Saw Them, Also s Bail
road “Ad.”
William C. Harris, angling ed
itor of Outing, and rightly called
the Izaak Walton of America, is a
man who can come pretty near to
telling exactly what fish you will
find in Blank brook, in Blank
township of Blank county, Idaho,
Texas or Rhode Island. New fish
es and new facts about them, he
loves as a miser loves gold, only
lie does not hoard them, but gath
ers them to give out again.
One day Harris chanced to be la
St. Paul. He was talking with
General Passenger Agent Charley
Fee, who said Harris should go to
Montana to catch grayling in a
stream at that time much adver*
tised.
Harris said there were no gray
ling in the stream. The railroad
man laughed at him as a New
Yorker who pretended to know
more about a certain Montana
river than a man who had fished it.
The dispute waxed warm. Har
ris was due in New York on a
certain day, and by taking the first
train west he could have six hours
on the stream and still keep his en
; gagement. In 36 hours he was on
) the stream with a local represen
tative of the railroad. He waded
in, made one cast, and was fast to
a silvery thing that tore about
mightily like that of a grayling.
It came to the net, and the local
representative of the railroad
!i>1tt n V\ All t A/1 •
“There, there; it’s a grayling!"
“Pack this carefully in moss,"
taid Harris. “Rend it to your gen
eral passenger agent.” Then he
walked to the telegraph office and
j wired that official:
“Am sending one of your gray
l ling. It’s an infernal old river
t whiteflsh.”
j Then he took the train for New
York and kept his engagement.
A MAN AND HIS SHOES.
The Thicker the Sola* He Wean tt*
Larger the City from Which
He Haile.
“Yon can almost tell Iron
what country a man comes by tha
weight of his shoes,” said J. W.
Davy, of Chicago, who represents
a shoe company, to a Milwaukee
Sentinel reporter. “You might
not believe it,” he continued, “but
the thicker the soles of his shoes
the larger the city from whiM» he
comes. In New York it is almost
a fad, and the soles of the shoes
there are exceedingly heavy.
They are almost as heavy in Chica
go. Men there wear shoes to pro
tect their feet. They have not
time enough, it seems, to bother
| with rubbers. So they make on#
1 pair of shoes do the work for all
kinds of weather. Here in Mil*
waukee and in other cities of this
size, I notice, the men wear light
■hoes and rubbers. I suppose
they have time enough to wear the
overshoes. Up in the country 1
find that in many places leather
boots are not worn at all for sev
eral of the winter months. They
wear heavy socks and then put
rubber overshoes over these.”
German “Sunday Schools.”
In England the term “Sunday
school” has a definite meaning,
and is exclusively used to denote
a place -of religious teaching. In
Germany, however, the race tor
commercial supremacy has led ta
the establishment of Sunday
schools at which mechanics ara
given practical instruction ia
their trades. There is, for exam
ple, a school for masons, at which
the students, many of them me
chanics who work during the
week, spend several hour* on Sun
day morning in learning the high
er branches of their craft. Sim
ilarly there are Sunday schools fos
tailors, ironmongers, bookbind
ers, and followers of other trade*
—even barbers and blacksmiths.
Gold in New South Wales.
Preliminary returns issued by
the department of mines, New
South Wales, show a big increase
1 in the gold production of that
state for 1903, as compared with
j the output for 1902. The yield for
1903 is valued at £1,080,029, which
j represents an increase of £395,059

Periodic
Pains.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
are a most remarkable remedy;
for the relief of periodic pains,
backache, nervous or sick head
ache, or any of the distress
ing aches and pains that cause
women so much suffering.
As pain is weakening, and
leaves the system in an ex
hausted condition, it is wrong
to suffer a moment longer than
necessary, and you should take
the Anti-Pain Pills on first in
dication of an attack.
If taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as well as in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, chloral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.
“For a long time I have suffered
greatly with spells of backache, that
seem almost more than I can endure.
These attacks come on every month,
and last two or three days. I have
never been able to get anything that
would give me much relief until I be
began the use of Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain
Pils, and they always relieve me in a
short time. My sister, who suffers
the same way, has used them with
the same results.” MRS. PARK,
721 S. Michigan St., South Bend, Ind.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills are sold by
rour druggist, who will guarantee that
he first package will benefit. If It
fails he will return your money.
