The word anae!nia is of modern orr
gin. 10 Yves first mentioned by Albert
Michel in 1882 in thesis entitled DE
Anaemia." However, if the nomencla-
ture is new, the morbid condition indi-
Gated by the word was at all times
well known. Hippocrates devoted sew
eral pages to description Of this par
ticular condition. but Halle was the
first to apply the term to a malady
which was prevalent in 1902 among the
miners Of Amin, in the north Of
France, and Of which he gave a detail
ed description.

THE MISSOURI. SENATORsHIP.


!. When it was announced few days
ago that test vote of both houses Oh
the ST. Louis Legislature showed that q
majority on joint ballot. for United
States senator was assured for Neied-
ringhaus, the Republican andiiate, and
that his election was only matter OF
form, it was taken for granted that the
business was settled, and his election
was assured.
1t turns out, however, that there are
Republicans who can not stomach the
charges of political corruption which
have been made against Mr.. Neidring-
haus, and although he was white
washed by committee of the Legisla'
ture when it was attempted to force his
election, it could not be done on account
Of the refusal of Republicans themselves
10 support him.
The prospect now is that somebody
Else will be chosen, and if the vote set
les on man above all reproach and
free from the political scandals that have
SO terribly tainted Missouri politics for
some years past, it will show that the
Missourians are determined to have a
change for the better, and it will be
greatly to their credit-Picayune.
The influence of Folk is manifest and
contradicts the assertion, often reite;'at-
ed, that money is all-powerful and ire
sistible. Fortunately, all men are not
purchaseable and have some honor and
iecency about them. The political at
mosphere contaminated by .boodlers is
becoming purified in Missouri

SOME DIFFERENCE.

Yes, there is a difference between the
customs of the Old South and the New
South In the good old days the South
ern women didn't ride straddlewise
That is one change brought about Tin
er the new regime, and it is sufficient tC
show one kind of progress the present
generation has Mansfield Jour
nal.
And very few of the Southern women
Of today ride 'straddlewise,' perhaps,
not as many as the limited in number
who would venture in partly male at
tire. An unwonlanly woman is to be
pitied always, but there is marked diff
ference between the customs of the
Old South and the New South" AS a
rule the gentlemen of the Old South are
always respectful and considerate to
women and would not smoke cigarette
or cigar in the presence of ladies,
much less puff the smoke in the face of
the lovely creatures The strides of the
present generation in some things is
amazingly strenuous" word favored
by Teddy Roosevelt and, "frenzied,' as
applied to Lawson in his published in
stallnents Of Frefzied Finance :.

THE ABLE BLUEFISH.
Its Growth as Noted at the Aquarlum--Hard
to Koep Very Long in Captivity.

~ hCcp very LOnS III NaptNIty'
The way the blueflsh increases in size
and weight Is shown in the case of two
specimens now in one Of the tanks at the
New York Aquarium. These two, along
With three or four others of about the same
size which have since died, were placed in
the tank on Sept. 9, 1904.
The two survivors were then one about
Q inches In length and about ounces IN
weight and the other about inches
in length. The larger fish in now about
Is inches in length and about pound
and half in weight, while the other is
about foot long.
Thus the larger Of the young fishes has
in period OF between eight and nina
months grown to be two and half times
as long a. when it was placed in the tank
smaller one is three times as long, but both
fishes would doubtless have grown still more
In the same time in freedom,
These two young captive bluefishe'
are both fine specimens, the larger one
being particularly handsome, and both are
pretty much always moving, the larger one
keeping In almost incessant, quick motion
and this not from nervousness, but because
It IL natural for bluefish to be on the go:
The bluefsh Is very able, vigorous and
powerful swimmer; 1t will swim with perfect
control Of itself just within the face OF the
great oomber foaming atop and about to
break on the shore, and 1t Is at home in
deep water.
It Is a hardy. swimmer and it likes freedom
and plenty OF fin room, and because OF
upon is sh d the se f Sa
the bluefsh alive more than about year

continued Miss Barrymore. after . pause
for breath, Il don't think 1t Is a wholly
good idea for an actress to be stage manager
as we'll. You not only have your acting
to think about, but every detail Of the
business is on your mind as well. Another
thing you don't want your best lines spoiled
by the sudden knowledge that Q piece OF
furniture is misplaced.
IF bit Of white paper IL accidentally
dropped in the middle Of the stage be sure
Of this truth, that no matter how beautiful
the scene, how tragic the lines, the eyes OF
every one in the audience will be on that
piece Of paper.
And a cat!" the eyes OF the speaker,
which she herself describes as being every
color but brown, open to their full width;
there is no actress great enough to cope
with cat. Let Bernhardt be on one side
of the stage and Duse on the other. Let
nice, amiable cat wander across, and
what happens? La there one in the au-
dience who won't forget that every syllable.
is precious to laugh at the cat?'
And dramatic criticism was asked.
ats place in your scheme Of work2'
Dramatic criticisrnl No one ever has
defined it so well as Bernard Shaw, who
at the time OF his famous epigram was
himself dramatic critic for the Saturday
Reriep. He said. you remember, that
dramatic criticism has value only to the
person who writes it, think would
venture to add something to that and say
that it has value also to the person about
whom it is written, but that is all. From
my personal experience the public are
not affected except for night or two.
NO one could possibly have had worse
notices than l got in Sunday Sunday
was doubly damned in the eyes OF the
critics from the very beginning. In the
first place, it was written by an English
man about the West and the tradition Is
that no Englishman can possibly know
anything about America.
"In the second place, it was written by
an actor, and the critics are ruled again
by the tradition that an actor cannot even
SPELL much less have the education that
would warrant putting pen to paper.
But no play that makes its audiences
laugh and cry is a failure, no matter what
the criticisms say. Cousin Kate received

She began to be afraid. Three more

opened the door back Of her and came N.
She Gained her fears. She began to climb;
The children on the third landing laughed
at her request to see Mrs, zee Chico.
This is a school," they told her.
Since she was there she thought she
might as well see it, SO she wandered on
long room three Chinese quietly, read things,
their pigtails curled up by them on the
floor One read Chinese newspaper, an
other a letter from home. The letter from
home was about the size OF the newspaper.
All the letters on both newspaper and letter
ran the wrong way.
She opened another door which revealed
pretty American girl sitting at q table
teaching three handsome black haired
young Chinese to read. They all held
books in very large print. Leaning over tho
girls book the woman read this, which ah o
remembered family to have seen some
where before:
"This is cat. The cat ia on the mat.
Why is the cat on the mat?'
Rows Of letters all running the wrong
seemed also to refer to cats and mats, and
to demand to know why in the world tho
cats were on the mats anyway,
Are they hard to teach?' she asked OF
the girl.
NO." answered the girl, 'but be little
careful. They understand good deal OF
English. l know they don't lock It,.
but they do"
Then followed the ancient question in
regard to Mrs. zee Chico.
The young Chinese walked up. They
developed kindly interest in the quest.
IF you will go to Too Cow" one OF them
said. you will see his wife perhaps. Too
Cows wife ia "a great swell a. Mrs. zee
Cheo." or words to that effect.

TIE same phase. The woman found her
way downstairs She assembled the bright
stairs In No 0, piloted by little Chinese.
May / see Mr.. Too Cow" she asked
when she got there.
Then 10 and behold! When Too Cow
got there he proved to be the same Celestial
who had invited her to see the high class
ladies of Chinatown, of whom his wife was
one Of the leaders.
Evidently Too Cow was rapidly becoming
Americanize and though the summer ap-
preached there were no flies on him.
