"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-

nate every form of political corruption
so prevalent in these closing years of
the nineteenth century?
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.

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.

The prediction of shrewd old John
Jacob Astor Is about to be fulfilled.' The'
city of Astoria, Oregon, Is about to
become the greatest seaport and me

Its location and resources have at.
traded the attention of capital, and It
is today the best field for the invest

the American continent.
This "Largest civilized city In the
world without a railroad," is to exper

different directions with two of the
greatest continental railway systems.
Astoria's harbor advantages (the
best on the whole Pacific Coast) are
now understood and appreciated; its
fishing Interests (already paying to the
hands employed In the salmon canneries
alone over $250,000 of wages each -month)
are to be augmented by the
Investment of outside capital and the
erection of large and latest improved
plants. The immense forests of Ore
gon pine surrounding the city are to
be converted Into lumber for the Aus
tralian, Chinese, Japanese, and South
American markets.
The great coal fields within a few
miles of the city are to be immediately
opened, and the product thereof shlpp- .
ed In every direction.
A dairying region unsurpassed in the
whole world is to be opened up and
afforded an outlet to market
