DR.. Parkhurst has coined a

DR.. Parkhurst has coined a new
word, and its aptness and clever con-
struction are quite likely to make it
famous. The eminent reformer's
word is "Andromania", and of it he
says:
''There is an element in the femin-
inc world that is suffering from what
[ shall venture to call "Andromania."
The word is not an English one, for
the reason, | suppose, that the Eng
lish language makers never supposed
that we should need such a term. 1t
is constructed ON the same principle
as the word 'Anglomania, which
means passionate aping Of every
thing that is mannish."
DR.. Parkhurst makes his new word
serve as title for his first article, in
the next issue of The Ladies Home
Journal and uses it for vigorous
treatment of the type Of women for
whom he invented it.

The construction of a gunpowd,

The construction of a gunpowder
engine, say the Scientific American,
has often been attempted. But this
explosive is i'll adapted for such a
purpose-in the first place because it
only develops in combustion about
29O volumes Of permanent gases,
while the solid residues are very con-
siderable, and would soon clog any
machine. At the same time, it should
be remembered that one pound Of
gunpowder is capable of developing
17O,29O foot pounds of energy. The
new smokeless powders are capable
of developing still higher energy, and
are also more under control. while Civ
ing off nearly 1000 volumes of per-
manent gases, and leaving no solid
residue. The temperatures devel-
oped by all these propellants are
high; but it is very possible to ove.-
come this difficulty, in the same way
as is done in the case OF gas engines,
or even by making use of the energy
of the water SO employed when con-
verified into steam. As English cor
dite develops 1850 calores per
gramme, the possibility Oft employ
ment in some form Of powder gas"
engine is not without attractiveness
to engineers Of speculative turn.
The temperature of gunpowder on ex-
plosion is about 10000 Fab, and
that of the smokeless powders is be-
lieved to be considerably higher,
though this has not yet been fully de
termined

Sir walter scott,s Pluck.

When Sir Walter Scott was loft
poverty stricken, with debts amount
ing to $500, 900, he said to his credit
ors, Give me time, and / shall be
able to pay you every farthing. :
Having relinquished his property to
his creditors, he said to, a fricnd in o
deep, thoughtful tone: 1T must be
very hard thus to lose all the labors
of a lifetime and be poor man at
last. But if God grant me strength
and life few years longer / have
no doubt shall be able to pay it all
He then set to work in earnest, and
during the three years that followed
performed literary feat unparal-
leled and reaped immense profits.
In these three years, from 1927 to
1880, he wrote and published about
80 different volumes, making more
than ten year. Besides this he was
editing an edition of his novels, to
which he added copious notes, and
such was the demand for these works
that over 1000 persons We're occu-
pied in their mere manufacture 1t
seems hardly credible, but 10 of these
volumes were edited and published
in a year. The profits resulting from
these three years of labor amounted
to something like $500, 00O.-Ex-

hidden to advance in that position,
will make the first move with it's left

THE cANNY SCOT.
He Is Witty and Can Also Be Humorous
If Ha Chooses.

He Is WHY anu Can Also be Humorous
If He Chooses.
From the Scotchman we do not ex-
pect humor, but we get something
perhaps more precious namely, wit.
A Scotch witness must be handled
carefully, or he may prove a Tartar,
as tho following incident will show:
The witness in question excited the
counsel's suspicion by the accurate
measurement he returned of the
length of some article. You are
sure of that, my MANI "Hootie ma!
haze not I tak'n my aith upon the
beuk?" "Well, sir, - said the counsel
in his most brow beating manner,
then tell me, on your oath, mind!
how came you to be SO exact?"
"Aweel, was it not that I kenned
some stoiterin daftle nd put the
question, SO / teuk the measure O
it.
But Scot can be humorous if he
chooses. Listen to him. He was dis
charged from Holloway Jail, and in
answer to one who inquired how
things went with him, replied:
"Weel, you see, body Gamma haze
everything in this life, and I'm no
gaun to misca the place-no me. For
a. the time I was there-just twa
months nate, by the bye-I was weel
proteckit frae the wiles o. a wicket
warl' outside, while my bread was
glen me, an my water sure. = Is not
this Scotch? Does not every word
breathe the man-his philosophy, his
Difference to the powers that be, and
his religious twang?
But the canny Scot sometimes
overreaches himself. An Aberdeen
young man was charged at Bow
street with being drunk and disor-
derby and trying to force his way
back into the Black Bull after hours
for another ''wee drappie. y He ask
ed to be allowed to speak in his own
defense, and explained how he and
q friend went in to have their
cracks" and after drinking six
tumblers of toddy apiece he suggest
ed that as they were about to part
they might take a "wee thocht
mair" A neighbor asked what Ian
guage they spoke, adding, Its only
fit to christen pigs VII Regarding
this as an affront Andrew wished to
fight, but the landlord turned him
out, and he then tried to get in, not
for more liquor, but for the purpose
Of indicating the honor of his native
tongue. "Were you drunk?" inquired
the magistrate. mae, nae," said
Andrew. SIN no gaun to dig pit
to break my ain neck intill. Yell no
get ony sic admission as that frae
me-" Then must hold you to bail.
Otherwise should have discharged
you on paying the usual fee. :" An
lrew was thus entrapped in the pit
after all. He was removed, and then
sent friend to the magistrate ask
ng if he might be allowed to plead
'fou." The magistrate recalled An
lrew and put the question to him,
put the natural caution of the man
,ven then would not let him go fur

vasna what might just precisely be

of 5 shillings, he was allow

confess that he was roaring drunk

Oyertaxed Nerves.

The fatigue which results from over
taxed nerves is a form of WEAKNESS
more intense, more depressing and
more disastrous than anything known
to tired muscles. A man who works
with pick and shovel for ten hours and
can then lie down and enjoy refresh
ing sleep knows nothing of the misery
which comes to those whose nervous
systems have been shattered. The
greatest sufferers from this condition
are women who have the cares of
households with all their exciting
duties and great responsibilities. They
are constantly looking for trouble.
They are fretfnl, peeyish, easily an
noyed. They are worried by tribes.
They have but little appetite and are
restless at night. Life has lost its
charm for them. Such condition IS.
indeed, most pitiable, and it is impor-
tant that the cause should be ascertain
ed in order that the remedy may be
applied as speedily as possible. The
real reason for nervousness is an i'm
condition of the blood
which cannot supply the nerves with
strength. The remedy is found in
Hoods Sarsaparilla which purifies, vi
talizes and enriches the blood, giving
It power to build up the broken down
system, strengthen the muscles aud
give health and vigor to all the organs
Of the body.

LONDON, Oct. 4.-Considerable anx-

Smiths African expedition, news of
which is long Overaae According to
the latest advices DR.. Smith had been
stopped by the Abyssinian army,~and
1t Is feared that he has had to retrace
his steps and go ia southwesterly
direction. He may thus have got be-
hind the district where the British are
now fighting, at Mweli, on the British
East African coast, and have been
caught by the natives. 1t is hoped,
however, that when he heard of the
fighting, DIR. Smith made detour, in
which case he would be heard from in
the neighborhood of Lake Tanganyiki,
or along the German or English lake
routes.
DR.. Smith, who is resident of Phil
adelphia, started from England in the
latter part of May, 1894, for the Somali
coast, with the object of reaching
lakes Rudolph and Stefanie from the
northeast. The last advices received
from HIM were dated December IA,
1894, at the Shibeyli river and Russo
