THEJliMf ASTOftUk ASTORIA, TU$iuV -liIKO. JANUARY 15, "andhomaxia." -1 observed In a recent number of the Astorlan, the statement that Dr. Park- hurst had coined a new word, "andro. mania," which is to signify the pas. ' slonate aping, by women, of every thing mannish. The magazine article In which the word is first employed has not yet come to my notice, so I do not know to what extent, if any, he has endeavored to de fend the introduction of tk-new word. One of the first principles laid down for the guidance of the student of dic tion is that a new word should not be coined unless there Is an evident need for It. The question in my mind is whether there is a need of this new word which Dr. Parkhurst ' wishes to add to the English language. I very much doubt the existence of any such element in femenlne character as he has assumed. If there is a passionate aping of every thing mannish it remains to be discov ered, and the reality of that element will alone constitute the support of the new word. There are many features of the mod ern woman's life and work that may have been mistaken for mannlshness.' but let us inquire concerning the rea sons for some of them. Is it simply a desire to dress like men that causes women to adopt a street costume that promotes freedom, safety and comfort? If the men were wear ing skirts, would they wait as long and as patiently as the women have before exchanging them for clothing . more agreeable? Is It merely a passion for entering into the outdoor sports of men that causes women to ride bicycles? Is not cycling as pleasurable for women as for men, and Is it not Just as healthful for one as for the other? Is it mannlshness that causes in wom en the desire to earn an honest living 'even if, In so doing, she is compelled to enter Into the activities of the busi ness and professional world? Hai not a woman a right to live, and must she be denounced as unwomanly if she exerts herself to earn the bread she eats? Is woman to be condemned as driven toy an unsatlable desire to Imitate her 'brothers, when she, awake to the cry ing needs of the times, asks to be heard from the floor of the assembly? Is It imitation of man that moves woman to demand the ballot, or Is she actuated by a desire to lift the bur dens of a suffering people, remove temp tations from their midst, and extermt- 1J IN mm re TH3 BOots. and 81.00 Bottlo.

It seems to me that in coining the new word Dr. Parkhurst has inaugu rated a change in the tact.?s of the opposition to the emancipation of worn, an, by admitting that the demands made by women are so reasonable as to be undebatable, but now making a public effort to bring her into contempt by misrepresenting her motives. ' MARIE TEMPIETON. THE INPUU'HNCRS OF CLIMATE ON HEALTH. It cannot be denied that Influence of climate upon health is great, and it is In recognition of this fact that physi cians send patients suffering with pul monary diseases to great distances for "change of air." But when the sufferer nappens to be too poor to act upon the advice his lot Is hard Indeed. But It is not ne"essarllv hopeless. Dr, Pierre's Golden Medical Discovery can ne naa at any medicine store, and to It thousands whose oases were con- silerea desperate owe their lives. Up to a certain point In the progress or consumption. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery Is a positive remedy, But delay Is dantrerous with consumD- tlon. In all the conditions that lead to It, the "Discovery" is the remedy. With severe Unstring coughs of weak lungs, nothing acts so promnlty. Every di sease that can be reached through the blood yields to this medicine. The scrofulous affections of the lnners that's called consumption is one of them. For thls.snd for evcrv other form of scrof ula, for all Mood-taints and 'disorders. ana nil chronic bronchial, throat, and Inner affections, the "Discovery" Is the only remedy so certain that, once used. it Is alwavs in fnvor. Can qrivt-iilner else be "Just as good" re you to mxy ! Don't you believe It.
