The Society Snob. Harvard Lampoon.

The society snob is generally very harmless little creature in fact, he ii so insignificant that he cannot dc 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 al large than pool of slush to a mar with rubber boots.
 He is generally small, effeminatt youth with sky 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 gen. orally offsets his advantages by being quite simple and quite stupid.
 During the day time he is very rarely noticeable, but as evening draws or he blossoms out; he puts on his dress. suit and he ties his necktie, the latter operation being 8 very complicated performance, only accomplished by unlimited practice and rare patience but when it is done it is 6 thing fol gods and men to wonder at. Wher he is finally dressed he puts on hi muffier, his chest-protector, and hi galoshes, and goes forth to conquer.
 If you have never seen a society snob at party, you have a rare treat in store. Watch him fit from "bud' to "bud," dropping here and there ( delicate bit of small talk or a rars smile. Is he not @ polished 9entlemar of the world2
 Then, too, when the supper time comes, notice the consummate skill, with which he leaves his partner ir the hands of 8 friend, and strikes 6 bee-line for the supper-table; then, ii there is wine, he is in his glory. He will get in a corner with few select cronies and discuss the host or hostess with perfect freedom, airily criticise the supper, 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 weather, the theatres, and last assem- ply with some girl, and tell you later what "great fun" he had with Miss Blank, and hint about a thrilling Irritation; but somehow we don't be- lieve him.
 In the morning he will have head ache, and, probably, dyspepsia. Oh, the life of a society snob is a delight ful thing.

 "Yes, s,sir," he replied to questioner, "I do find hundreds of people up there who are more than anxious to move to our state."
 "Where did you meet the people?"
 "At number of places. Our agents make appointments for me and meet people in public meeting. Why, even at Wyandotte, across the river from Kansas City, l had very large crowd. The people there are going wild over Arkansas and you will see them come in crowds"
 "When are you going back?"

The Old School Readers.
Boston Transcript.

Speaking of old reading books, the thought occurs to the listener that it would be decidedly interesting to get up sort of symposium of experiences of the older generation with their early reading books, for there is scarcely a page of an old reader which has not a lot of "reminiscences clustering about it highly illustrative of the old days ofinstruction. The "National Readers were the standbys once, following perhaps, the old American "First Glass Book" which was really first class book in more senses than the one claimed. A long time ago the readers did not change for a generation, and then they began to founder, so to speak, and the suffering children used to have to take up new reading books every two or three years.
 Ina good many respects the readers were better before 1860 than they are now. They had not SO many mean ingless little narratives about Johnny and Edith and Mabel and their pleas ant visits to their uncles and aunts il the country, but they had more stand. ard literature of an inspiring sort that it was good to have children know and remember. The listener has in hil hand at this moment an old book called "The Art of Reading" published 1T Boston in 18l4-it is a tenth edition and it's preface is dated 1SO2-by Dan. iel Stanford, A. M.. which has not f bad treatise on elocution, and good deal of very good literature, joined with a good deal of turgid stuff, to bt sure.
 There is great deal of Columbian oratory, and Washington's farewell address is cheek by jowl with much sententious flubadub from "Pizarro. Our readers got out of the "Pizarro' period after awhile, however, and there were many excellent ones. By the way, the advance which the art O. choosing declamations has made is nc more plainly marked anywhere thar by such selections as the Chauncy Hal school pupils recited at their exhibi. tion. Classical examples were by nc means rejected, and yet there wa enough of"live literature" represented in the selections to make it plain tha, the pupils are kept we'll abreast of tn, literary developments of the time.

Berea College, Ky,


 On the line of the Kentucky Central railroad, about one hundred miles di- rectly south from Cincinnati, is the small village of Berea, beautifully sit- uated on high ridge at the foot of the Cumberland mountains, and just south of the famous Blue-g region, containing about seven hundred in- habitants.
 It is noted simply as the location of the famous college of the same name. This college is peculiar in the south from the fact that it receives students of good character, regardless of race, sex, color, or previous condition, and has done so for more than twenty years.
 Its whole number of students is over four hundred year. It employs seventeen professors and teachers, and has all departments, from the primary to the college. It furnishes over one hundred and fifty teachers annually for common schools, both white and colored. -
 The school is ndenominational, but thoroughly religious. Students are not allowed to use intoxicating drinks or tobacco nor to keep firearms, or be actively connected with any secret society.
 There are nine college buildings, all commodious and admirably situated, and some of them large and elegant. Ladies' Hall is large brick building, three stories high, above an excellent basement, and has two fronts of 12O feet each. It accommodates nearly a hundred ladies, and about two hun dred boarders.
 Lincoln Hall, built mainly by Ros- well Smith, of the Century company, is one of the best recitation halls in the country. It is of brick, three sto- ries high, and contains eighteen rooms, three of them quite large.
 Howard Hall, the dormitory for young men, is beautiful wood build ing three stories high, and accommo- dates nearly hundred. = =1
 The Tabernacle, as it is called, is rough, cheap structure, but admirably adapted for large conventions and commencement gatherings, which are great occasions for all the region around. Not less than five thou sand people assemble annually upon the campus, beautiful grove of fifty acres, embracing all the college build- ings except the Ladies' Hall, which occupies another grove of three or four acres. Half the crowd fill the large tabernacle and the other half visit and picnic and talk politics and progress.
 The chapel, where students and teachers all gather for worship every morning, seats five hundred, and is a beautiful structure, lighted with gas made on the spot from gasoline.
 The college has an endowment of $100,000, and 8 host of friends, better than much larger endowment. Ex- penses are marvelously low, eighty dollars year paying for room, board, tuition, fuel and incidentals.
 That such school can exist and flourish in the center of Kentucky, may be looked upon as sign of the times. What its influence must be in settling great questions of the future, need hardly be asked. While many deprecate it's manifest tendencies, and predict all sorts of evil consequences, not few of the wisest and best hail it as great power for good and an earnest of better days to come.

Aholl.h the supreme count.

When Geo. w. Cassidy sits down to
write he generally rites sense. And
this in the last issue of the Sentinel Is
especially So: We hear that an effort
is to- be made at the coming session of
the Legislature tn increase the num-
her of our District Judges from three
to five. The chief Object is to make
more places for needy lawyers. II
should not be done. Any reform in
our judicial system that does not look
to the complete abolition of the SUI
preme Court at the earliest date pos
siD!e, willie be founded in error. Our
Supreme Court costs more than IT is
worth. 1t has nothing to do. We
should have, for the present, four Dis
trict Judges and no Supreme Court as
as a separate tribunal. The District
Judges should meet in banc twice a
year. and the three not participating
in the case below, should hear and
determine every question III appeal.
The plan would work quite as we'll as
the present system, and ave the tax
payers forty thousand a year. We
don't want more officers, but fewer.
Legislators who feel any interest in
the welfare of the State will strive to
remove constitutional obstacles that
stand in the way of reirenchment in
all directions. Cheaper government,
State, county and municipal, is the
pressing need of tho hour in Nevada.
