THE sNos IN SOCIETY.
Ultr.-E.c,u.iv.ne-. of P.r.on. who

Ultra-Exciusfvene-s of Persons who Im-
agine Themselves Social Leaders.
The accepted definition of '-snob,"
together with its attendant adjective
''snobbish," is not the same in Amerf-
ca as in England. On the other side it
means social pretense of some kind.
and Thackeray has shown under that
head what a great variety of the spe-
cies there is. But with us it does not
necessarily include pretense. When
we call a person a snob the idea in
tended to be conveyed is that he or
she is ultra exclusive and wishes to
associate only with persons who are
considered very smart. In fact to be-
smart" a person must necessarily be
somewhat snobbish, according to the
American acceptance of the word, for
extreme exclusiveness is even more
necessary to the maintenance of a
smart set in a republic than in places
where the lines are defined by rank.
The so-called Four Hundred is, as
everyone knows, divided up into any
number of sets and cliques, but new
ertheless, despite assertions to the
contrary, there is always one set that
is fashionably paramount. That is to
say, invitations from it's leaders are
more priced than any others, and to be
admitted within its limits is a coveted
honor. And here we come back to our
accepted definition of the word
'snob.' People who make an effort to
get into this society, and by so doing
overlook and neglect old friends, are
termed snobbish, while the members
themselves, who have no desire to en-
large their small coterie or to hide
their indifference to the world at
large, come under the same classical
tiss.. Thackeray's people, with their
miserable little attempts to pass them
selves off for others than they are
land we may safely assert that there
are more of that ilk in England than
America), we would call cads-so that
the use of either term by an American
does not necessarily convey the same
idea as when spoken by an English
man.-New York Tribune.

He was Correct Enough.

In a certain regiment was an expert
gymnast, who taught his brother sub
alterns how to walk across the barrack
room on their hands. While thus en-
gagged one evening the door opened
and the colonel, a stern disciplinarian
entered the room, looking attentively
at the inverted company, shook his
head gravely and departed without ut
tering a word. Extra parade duty next
morning was the least punishment ex-
pected for this breach of discipline.
Some days passed, however, and, no
notice being taken, it was thought
that an apology and explanation
should be offered by the prime insti-
gator of these unsoldierly movements.
A reference being made to the evening.
the colonel amazed the intending apol-
ogist by exclaiming: Hush, my dear
fellow, would not have anybody know
it for the world. The fact is, 1 had
been dining out with an old brother
officer who had served with me in In
dia, and pom my life 1 had no idea the
wine could have such effect upon me;

Mother Hfuts.

Mothers often complain that their
babies do not appear really i'll, and yet
do not grow and look as healthy as
they should. The difference between q
healthy and an unhealthy child is very
marked. A perfectly healthy baby
sleeps a great deal of the time during
the first few months of its life, and
when it Is asleep wears an expression
of absolute and blissful repose. The
little eyelids are completely closed, the
lips very slightly parted and the
breathing is rhythmic and scarcely to
be heard There is no visible move
ment of the nostrils in the healthy
baby while sleeping. When q young
baby sleeps with the eyelids incom-

COUNT EGGS BY THE MILLION
Chicago Dealers Discuss Recent Big

Chicago Dealers Discuss Recent Big
Order from the East. v
South Water street men the other
day discussed the recent order of an
eastern man for 100000 dozen eggs
to be supplied by the commission men
of the west, says the Chicago Chroni-
Gle. This order runs into big figures
and counted in eggs or dozens it looks
large. At any rate, it means, even at
the price of 10 cents per dozen, a trans
action of nearly $3.50, 900. The eastern
buyer is undoubtedly making his pur-
chase for cold storage purposes, and
will calculate to make his profit on
the advance in price next winter. Com
mission men are recalling the trans
action last season by which Cudahy
of Omaha and Chicago parties col
1ected and stored several millions of
dozens of eggs which were afterward
sold at the winter price and at hand
some profit. When talking about a
recent offer made to the convention

oral South Water street dealers said
that such an order could be easily
handled by commission firms in the
ordinary business way. One was of the
opinion that there are firms doing
business with headquarters in Chicago
that would not be stumped if called
upon to furnish twice that quantity
in the course of a couple of months
They would simply set to work among
country and call for all that could be
supplied at stated times.

True there is the dual path of reform

Colored Shirts I'm Black and white.
Co1ored shirts should open only In
front, have two buttonholes, not count
ing those in the band and cuffs, cut
either square or sharply rounded. I
advise having them made to open all
the way down the front. The cuffs,
which should be attached, are about
two and one-half inches wide. On
co1ored shirts for ordinary wear the
collar is rarely attached, but on neglf-
gee shirts used for tennis it is perhaps
advisable to have it so. Vertical stripes
or lines on bosoms and cuffs are still
the most usual( but one need not feel.

one, and any afternoon at the fashion

smartly dressed men wearing colored
