NeyrOse Among Dogs.

A really startling communi cation has
been made to the French scademy of
sciences. 1t is to the effect that the
malady of the period in France known
as the nevrose, which may be taken to
mean general upset of the nerves, and
various disorders belonging to the
hysterical category, is no longer con-
fined to men and women, who, so to
say, burn the candle of their lives at
both ends, but is spreading amongst
the canine race. Hysterical phenomena
have been remarked in dogs, especially
in pet dogs, nursed in the lap of luxury,
and deprived of what may be said to
constitute healthy existence for a dog.
Many of these pampercd four footed
favorites have succumbed, it appears, to
nervous disorders, or to violent hysteri-
cal attacks, and an examination of their
remains after death has proved that the
seat of the disorder which cut short
their days was merely the nerves. This
seems strange; but the theory is that
dogs, like men, are susceptible to the
influences that surround them, and
whereas cases of hysteria have been
observed in what may be called fashion
able society dogs, nothing of the kind
has been noticed in the shepherds dog
or those of humber class. In
word, we are assured that the fashion
able dog of the period, taking too
little exercise, feeding too we'll, and
living in an artificial atmosphere, is
falli ng victim 10 the terrible neyrose,
pre- cisely like its mistress, and possibly
shortly we shalt hear of the dear little
four footed creatures having morphia
injected to allsy their nervousness. -
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1890-01-03

The Amertcan analyst notices sue
cessful experiment by Frenchman
named de Carbonnet to make silk with
out the agency of worms 1t is stated
that he used a collodion solution,
poured into a copper receiver, which
emptied into system of small glass
tubes, and these tubes terminated in
capillaries which carried off the solu-
tion in fine thread-like streams. He
produced several yards of silk in this
way. Frenchmen have made eggs
without the use of hens, and milk
without the agency of cows; but the
artificial is not quite so good as the
natural.
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1890-01-03

Commissioner Raum of the Pension
Bureau has announced that hereafter,
in all cases where a medical examina-
tion is desired or required under any of
the several pension laws, such examina-
ton must be made by the local Board
of examining Surgeons in the district
in which the claimant resides. General
Rum says that in many instances claim
ants come to Washington from great
distance and at consid erable expense in
the erroneous belief that on examina-
ton by the Washington Board and per-
sonal solicitation their cases will be
more promptly actei upon, and posi-
bly, with greater degree of liberality.
Some of these are poor and cannot afford
the expense, and it is more to save
these people from needless expense than
it is to give the several examining
Boards their proper share of the work
of making examinations that this policy
has been adopted. The Washington
Board will not hereafter be allowed to
examine claimants for pensions whose
residence is not within its jurisdiction.
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1890-01-03

We may expect to hear another louI
call from European missionaries in
China for money to aid starving thous
ands in the Yangtese valley, where the
cotton crop is a failure. The calmness
with which the Chinese government al
lows its subjects to starve is appalling
10 foreigners, lrt the help that English
md Americans gave in the famine last
winter and spring in North China was
trifing compared to the grand total of
misery. At the very time thousands of
Chinese were actually starving in the
northern provinces, cargoes of wheat
and millet were exported from the
southern part of the same districts.
The Roman empire, observes the San
Francisco Chronicle, in its worst days
never evinced moro callous contempt
for human life than China shows to-

A couple of st. Louis lawyers recent
ly went into one of the subterranean
vaults of the court house in that city to
look over some old court records. One
of them was compelled to leave before
the paper desired was found, and going
out slammed the door without thinking
of the consequences. The automatic
lock performed its duty, and his friend
was prisoner The friend discovered
this disagreeable fact only when he
had une0rthed the paper he desired and
turned to go. The lock could not be
worked, and he could not attract atten-
ton by calling. Finally, under the
dirt and cobwebs that had been gatner-
ing for years, he found narrow graf
ing, through which he could just peep
out on the street. Calling through this
he attracted the attention of a passer-
by, who rushed into the sheriff's office
and announced that prisoner was try
ing to escape. Investigation disclosed
the pent-up attorney.

"MOney," "Rupee" and "Dollar."

In tracing the derivation of the word
''moncy," find that it is from the Ro-
man word 'Monets," because the frs,
regular mint was established by Roman,
in the temple Juno Moncta. The word
''coin" is. no doubt, from the Latin
"cuneus," meaning a die or stamp.
Many coins are so called from theiI
original weight, as the English pound,
the French livre and the Italian ira.
The word ''rupee' is from abe San.
scrit, rupzs, meaning silver The
word "dollar' is short for joachimsta-
Ter. In Bohemia the word is thaler,
which is also short for joschimthal or or
money of the joachim Valley, wnere
coins of this value were first struck In
the sixteenth century.
