Washington, Sept. 81. = An order

MySophobia.

The medical profession has con-
ferred no small boon on many suffer
ers by inventing Greek, or pseudo
Greek, term for their otherwise demo.
cratic complaints. The last of these
inventions is recorded this week. The
disease is fussiness and the medical
name is mysophobia. The mysophobe
is he who, when seated by his table,
lifts his glass to see if it is fingered
and If he detect smudge uses his
napkin to dispose of it. In short, my
sophobia is the exaggeration of that
respect for cleanliness which con-
vinced Svengali of the madness of En-
glishmen when he surprised the Laird
in his matutinal tub. The lady in the
play who seized on every ones watch
chain and began rubbing it with cha
mos leather was mysophobe, and the
irritating man who begs your pardon
and picks some microscopic piece of
fluff from your sleeve is another. The
servant, though most would benefit by
inoculation with the disease, who in
sists on busting papers is another, and
,he disease is widely prevalent among
all housekeepers in the spring 1t is
nice to know at last just what to call
it, but the medical press is more in
clined to suggest scientific names than
remedies.

Victoria's Boundary.

Professor Gregory, of the University
of Melbourne, is delivering a series of
lectures on the Geography of Vic
toria." In one of them he gave an in
stance of the happy -go-lucky fashion
in which business was conducted in
Downing street in the olden days. Halt
a century ago, when the Port Phillip
Province was detached from New
South Wales and erected into a new
colony under the name of Victoria,
it was the intention of the imperial
government of the day that the River
Murrumbidgee should be the North
ern boundary. But the clerk in the
Colonial Office who copied out the en-
abling document, never having heard
of the river with the long aboriginal
name, and being uncertain as to its
proper spelling, coolly substituted
the River Murray in it's stead. No
body noticed the change, but it made
vast difference to the new colony
Victoria would have been twice it's
present size IL the original arrange
ment had been adhered to, and would
have included the valuable pastoral
provinces known as Riverina, which
stretches from the Murray to the Muir
rumbidgee. Although Melbourne, the
Victorian capital, has always done
most of the trade with Riverina, the
district continues to be officially ruled
from Sydney.

SCIENCE RAFFLED THE BURGLAR
A CycIometer Was the Means of
Bringing Him to Justice.

Science sometimes battles the bur,
glar whose knowledge is not strictly
up-to-date. A thief who broke into a
house the other day leisurely packed
his plunder in compact bundle, then
added bicycle to the stolen articles
and rode off. So far he had exhibited
commendable common sense, for it
isn't every thief who is clever enough
to steal the means of transporting his
stealings to his own lair. But he had
overlooked the fact that attached to
the wheel was a cyclometer which reg
istered the exact distance ridden by
the thief on his journey home When
pursuing justice caught up with the
burglar he had disposed of all his plun-
der except the wheel The little cy-
clometers record of distance Travelled
proved the case against the thief, for it
registered the exact distance from the
house to the thief's quarters.

One of the causes of the War Of 1912
was the impressment Of Americans to
serve on British ships. The practice
was so extensive that when an English
ship came to an American port able
bodied men hid in disguise for fear Of
being seized.
John Bull at that time claimed the
services of every British sailor, wheth-
er the man had ever voluntarily en-
tered the Navy or not; and IL the sailor
could speak English he was assumed
to be an Englishman and forced to
serve. No doubt many Of those who
We're impressed We're really British de-
serters; but many others We're Amer
lean citizens, and the compulsion to
serve on British ships was a wrong.
The diary of Captain Hoffman, of the
Royal Navy, which has been published
under the title of "a Sailor of King
George" contains a story of masquer-
ade which must have been amusing
from a British point of view.
Hoffman had been sent to house in
Jamaica where able-bodied seamen
We're reported to be in hiding. When
the party entered the house they found
three sloyenly females sitting by
table darning stockings. Near by was
cradle covered with a net. In the
bed, also covered with a net, was
woman lying ILL., Still another woman
was near the bed, persuading the WON.
an to take the contents Of a bottle
of red mixture.
The lieutenant assured them that he
entered with reluctance upon the duty
he had to perform, but that as he had
information that seamen frequented
the house he must search it.
A coXswain who had been examin-
ing the features of one of the women
at the table, exclaimed: "If l ever
saw my old shipmate, Jack Milford,
that's hep
Another British sailor whispered that
the baby in the cradle was the largest

was locked and the officers insisted up.
on knowing VINO the women were.
Hoffman discovered upon the sick
woman close-shaved chin. The dying
person was fine young seaman about
twenty-six years old, who, when he
was detected sprang out of bed, and
joining the Others, attempted to resist.
Then, seeing that they were outnum-
bered. they surrendered.
The infant in the cradle proved to
be fine lad sixteen years old.
"This was a good haul, eight sea-
men," remarks Hoffman. 1--WE got
them without accident to the boats"

How Roosevelt Killed Boar.

Standing on the porch of the hunting
lodge at Corbin Park, in Vermont,
President Roosevelt told the story of
how he killed wild boar. 81 fired but
once" he said. "The bullet pierced
both lungs and the heart. Senator
Proctor loaned me his old shooting
coat; someone else donated a pair OF
blue overalls, and Bill Morrison con.
tributed shoes and socks. Bill, the
Senator and myself made up the party.
Just about dusk wild boar darted out
of the brush, about fifty yards ahead
of us. We kept up the chase and sud-
denly I spotted him. There he is.'
Wrong yelled the Senator, squinting
ahead. That's a deer It's boar. l
tell you said bringing my rifle to
my shoulder. Senator's right chimed
in Bill Morrison, it's deer, for sure
But l knew better and blazed away.
1t looked like miss for minute.
Like frightened rabbit the big boar
plunged straight ahead, going faster
than before the shot. But just as 1
took sight for a second try he pitched
forward and rolled over dead AS to
that shot Of mine, all that have to say
Is that it was a mighty lucky one."

WHITE HOUSE CANES.
Call for Souvenirs That Cannot Be
Complied With.

Colonel William H. Crook, the vet
eran disbursing officer Of the White
House, sometime ago arranged to give
few canes of historic value to his
friends. When the interior of the
Executive Mansion was being torn to
pieces by the contractors who are re-
modelling the building, Colonel Crook
obtained some of the flooring in the
room used for so many years by pres
idents. He was especially careful in
selecting portions Of the flooring over
which Lincoln had walked, sat and
done business in the trying days of
the country's history. No man In
Washington knew better the habits
of President Lincoln around his office
than Colonel Crook, whose first work
at the White House was as bodyguard
for the great war executive. Many a
day and night Colonel Crook, who was
then policeman on the city police
force, remained with and near to Pres
ident Lincoln. His mind is full Of
"reminiscences of just how the famous
President worked. what kind Of a desk
he used, how he handled himself, and
other details of personal interest. On
obtaining the flooring from the par
ticular spot he had selected Colonel
Crook sent the timber to wood work
man and had dozen or so canes made
for presentation to his friends, who
appreciated most highly the gifts be-
cause they were confident of their
historic value. Mention of the canes
was made in the Washington Star,
with the consequence that during the
last two months Colonel Crook has
been unable to meet the demand, and
he has been kept busy with a gratui-
tous correspondence. Several female
organizations of a benevolent and
charitable nature in Washington have
gathered hundreds of pieces of timber
and almost every article from the
wreck of the interior of the White
House, and propose to convert them
into small souvenirs to be sold here
and elsewhere, the proceeds to be
used by the organizations in their
work. The relic hunting at length in
terferred so seriously that visitors to
the grounds had to be shut out, and
the few who were admitted got in by
card from the superintendent in
charge.

ADuke's Wild Ride For Life.

Among several incidents of "The
Boyhood of THE Conqueror,' related
by Adele e. Arpen in the ST. Nicholas,
is this account of a midnight flight:
One of these shooting matches nearly
cost him his life. He was about twen-
ty years old, when, In early summer
of the year 1047, he went with large
train of friends and attendants, to
shoot at Valognes. In those days
there We're great forests covering the
hills and valleys around yalognes. and
as these forests We're full of game,
the young Duke and his friends ex-
pected to enjoy themselves. They
formed so large party that they had
to separate and lodge where they could
in the town. This left the Duke with
only few servants in the castle.
In the middle of the night he waS
suddenly awakened by loud knock
ing, and the shouting of some one
mounting the stairs to his chamber.
He listened and recognized the voice
of Gallet, strolling buffoon, whom he
knew very well, and to whom he had
frequently given little trifles.
ely! hyr' shouted the buffoon.
"William, thou art lost! Fly, sweet
friend! Thy murderers are coming!
l saw them. Fly, or thou wilt be
taken"
William had been through too many
dangers, and had had too many narrow
escapes to neglect such a warning. He
seized the first horse he could find,
leaped upon it bare back, and rode
for his life.
Not a moment too soon. He had
scarcely galloped out of the courtyard
before several armed men rode hur-
riedly into it. Gallet met them at the
entrance. He had seen them a short
time before from his hay-loft at the
inn. when they were preparing for
their murderous errand, and whence
he had run to warn his Sweet friend"
William. He knew them and their
purpose. "Ha, haw he cried, with mad
glee, you're late, my sirs; you're late!
The Duke is gone! William is off!
Your stroke has missed! But, bark ye;
bide a bit. He will pay you! You
made him pass a bad night-he will
make you see an i'll day." And then he
capered derisively about them.
