MxsoPHoplA THE LATEST.
What This Learned Term Means to
the Great Majority.

The medical profession has con-
ferred no small boom on many suffer
ers by inventing a Greek. or pseudo
Greek, term for their otherwise demo-
cratic complaints. says the London
Graphic. 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 1t is fingered. and
If he detects a smudge uses his nap
sin to dispose of 1t. In short. myso-
phobia is the exaggeration of that re-
spect for cleanliness which convinced
Svengali of the madness of English
men when he surprised the Laird in
his matutinal tub. The lady in the
play who seized on everyone's watch
chain and began rubbing 1t with cha
mois leather was a mysophobe. and
the irritating man who begs your
pardon and picks some microscopic
piece of fun from your sleeve is an
other. The servant who insists on
busting papers is another. and the dis
ease is widely prevalent among all
housekeepers In the spring. 1t is nice
to know at last what to call 1t, but the
medical press is more inclined to sug.
gest scientific names than remedies.

Col. Mecook,s Welcome.

"Col. Dan McCook." said Sergt
Grimshaw, was little free in the use
of strong language, but wasn't a hard
swearer, as army swearers went. On
the morning of Nov. 26. 1868, after the
capture of Missionary ridge, our divi-
sion was pushed out after the retreat
ing rebels. We struck them about sun
down, but they cut out after we had
given them two or three volleys. We
camped for the night in line of battle
but were not disturbed.
THE next morning companies A
and B of the Fifty-second Ohio were
sent out as skirmishers under Capt
Buckle. Soon we were lost in the high
underbrush of the wooded country in
front. We kept our formation and
kept moving and picked up more pris-
oners than we had men. but we could
not find brigade or regiment. Or
derlies and stan officers sent out from
brigade headquarters failed to find us
until we came into the open country
near Rocky Face ridge.
1--WE were then five or six miles
from our regiment and were escorted
to brigade headquarters by two stan
officers who had been hunting us all
day and who reported that Col. Dan
was in state of mind over our disap-
pearance. We expected scoring. but
we marched up in good order with all
our prisoners in the line. We met
with hearty reception, but ! will al
ways remember Col. Dams face, as he
said; God. boys, hardly expected to
see you again. l thought the rebs
had gobbled you sure. God. boys. but
am glad to see you come in all right
and with so many prisoners.

"As Colonel Jones Would say"

Hard swearers," said the major,
"abounded in the army. Col. Jones of
our brigade was an expert. and was
held up as a frightful example to the
men. Col Warrington Of the Fif-

Col. Jones and used him to enforce
the rule that neither officers nor men
in the Fifteenth should swear. For
time the ule was rigidly enforced.
