The Society Snob.

The society snob is generally q very
harmless little creature; in fact, he is SO
insignificant that he cannot do very
much damage. His little habits and
customs, his microscopic intellect, even
his tiny little plots and schemes, are of
less Importance to the world at large
than a pool of slush to man with rub
Der boots.
He is generally small, effeminate
youth with a skye-terrier bang and
thin, colorless face, though sometimes
he has been known to be quite large,
quite muscular, and even quite hand
some; but, in the latter case he gener-
ally offsets his advantages by being
quite simple and quite stupid.
During the daytime he is very rarely
noticeable, but as evening draws on he
blossoms out; he put on his dress-suit
and he ties his necktie, the latter oper-
alton being a very complicated per-
formauce, only accomplished BY unlim-
tied practice and rare patience; but
when it is done it is a thing for gods
and men to wonder at When he is fl
nally dressed he puts on his muller,
his chest-protector, and his galoshes,
and he goes forth to conquer
If you have never seen a society
snob at party, you have rare treat
in store. Watch him fit from "bud'
to "bud," dropping here and there a
delicate bit Of small talk or rare
smile. Is he not a polished gentleman
of the world?
Then, too, when the supper time
comes, notice the consummate skill
with which he leaves his partner in the
hands of friend, and strikes a bee
line for the supper-table; then, if there
is wine, he is in his glory. He will get
in corner with few select cronies
and discuss the host or hostess with
perfect freedom, airily criticise the sup
per, crack his feeble little jokes and
drink more wine than is good for him.
After supper he will get in corner
of the stairs and talk about the wealth
er, the theatres, and last assembly
with some girl, and tell you later what
great fun he had with Miss Blank,
and hint about thrilling Irritation,
but somehow we don't believe him.
In the morning he will have head
ache, and, probably, dyspepsia. Oh.
the life Of society snob is delight
full thing. Harvard Lan1poO1e

Inherited Diseases.

No fact of nature Is more pregnant
with awful meaning than the fact Of the
inheritance of disease.

Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers,

Fifty per cent. of cases Of consumption,
cancer and scrofula, run in families
through inheritance. Insanity is hered-

nately, like many other hereditary
diseases, tends to wear Itself out, the
stock becoming extinct. A distin-

The Convention.

The HERALD will go to press toe
early to give the nominations made by
the Chicago convention. AT the pre-
sent writing speculation is idle. There
are half dozen possibilities. any one
of which might be regarded as prob
ability. We have expressed our pref
erence freely, and still feel sure that
the strongest nomination that could be
made would be Judge Gresham.
However, if any one of the favorite
sons gets the nomination we shall feel
confident of his election. The presi-
Dental material presented TO this
convention for its consideration is of
such character, that any man, how
ever earnest for his fayorite candidate,
can conscientiously abide by its decision.
The convention will be deliberative
body Nothing will be done in rush.
/, The nomination will represent the
preferences of the majority of the party
in the whole country. Sectionalism,
bossism, political trades, old ties, will
all be held in check and the deliberate
choice of the convention will be made
upon the grounds of fitness, availability
and.strength
This week we have no ticket at the
head of this column. Next week we
shall present to our readers the ticket
we shall ask them to support We shall
be pleased if it be the same that we
have carried for some months past; but
if not it will represent the wise deliber-
atoms of the brains and the conscience
of this country. Hurrah for the next
Republican President!

Newport News"

A man who limped up the entrance to
the Monitor and Merrimac c%yclorama
recently, says the Chicago Mail, told
Visscher, the lecturer there, that he
was suffering unconscious with the rheu-
matiz." He stayed a long time, pleased
with the thrilling work, but at last
withdrew, declaring hat he would like
TO stay longer, only he was afraid the
water and marshes about there would
increase his ailment. He was aston
ished that the lecturer didn't have the
''rheumatiZ' awfully, because he spent
so much time in the vicinity. People
who visit the cyclorama are impressed
with the idea that they are act
ually looking at Hampton roads
and the mouth Of the James
river from Newport News. Speaking
of Newport News the lecturer sometimes
tells in his discourse a fact about the
manner in which the place got its name
which is interesting and not widely
known nowadays. In the early settle
ment of Virginia the colOnists at James
town we're suffering for many OF the
necessities of life and Lord Newport
promised to send ships from England
with the much needed supplies. The
colonists waited anxiously and in sus-
0ense many weeks. Finally a delega-
ton was sent TO a point at the mouth OF

Cremation in Siam.

The intelligence comes from Siam
via the Pail Mall, that ''the cremation
of the two sons of the king, which was
celebrated at the end Of February,
was a ceremony eclipsing in magnifi-
cence even that of the kings uncle,
whose body was cremated last year. On
that occasion the chief features of the
proceedings were illustrated in. a Lon
don pictorial weekly, but the present
occasion seems to pass ~unnoticed. For
fifteen days Bangkok was given up to
~revelry. No work was done, and such
amusements as fireworks, Examinations
and interminable dramatic perform
ances were provided nightly and kept
up till 2 or 3 o'clock a. m. The build
ing in which the cremation was ef-
fected had been erected at IA cost ex-
ceeding $250, 900; a fact which, as it is
being demolished, as having served its
purpose, shows m~unificence, if not ex-
travagance. Externally this 'premane'
presented the appearance of a palace of
gold, SO gorgeous was its ornamental
ton; and internally its chief feature
was the electric lights with which it
was illuminated throughout. There
were two separate cremation days dur
ing the fortnight. and the final process
sion of each was SO long that it occupied
over an hour in passing a fixed point.
Siamese funerals may be expensive GER
emonies, but at least they cannot be
called lugubrious."

Cheap Board.

The cost of living at the Leland Stan
ford, jr., university, has been a subject
which has received much attention from
Senator and Mrs. Stanford, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. OF course if high
living were to prevail, and expensive
and costly lodgings were to be permit
ted. it would practically close the doors
of the school in the face OF the people OF
moderate means. But to carry out the
main idea-to offer the advantages of
the university to the great masses of
the people-the cost of living must be
reduced to q minimum. Senator Stan
ford believes that plain, wholesome,
well-cooked food can be provided at an
astonishingly low rate. 1t is not in
tended that the fare shall be mean or
scanty or unwholesome; it shall
be of the best, bountiful, and, above
all, as we'll cooked as any food that goes
on any table in the country. Senator
Stanford has made n thorough investi-
CATION of this department OF the uni
v|ersity. He believes that students can
be lodged comfortably in pleasant rooms,
with pie nty of light and air, and
shall be abundance of wholesome and
well-cooked food, for less than So a
week. A scholastic year is reckoned to
embrace forty weeks. AT this rate the
living expenses of the student would
be $500 for an academic year. The
clothing and books of the students
would, of course, not be included in the
sum. The founders of the university
believe that it is perfectly practicable
TO provide students with all the neces-
saries of life, and many of the comforts,
at this low annual outlay, and if their
plan of self-help proves a success they
believe that many of the students will
be enabled by healthful occupation in
the vineyard or orchard, or at the barn,
TO earn enough money TO defray, if not
this expense, certainly a large portion
