THE sNoB IN SOCIETY.
American Said to Be Different Crea- ture from His British
 Cousin.

The accepted definition of "snob," together with it's attendant adjective, "snobbish," is not the same in America is in England. On the other side it means social pretense of some kind, and Thackery has shown under that head what great variety of the spe cies there is. But with us it does not unnecessarily include pretense. When we call person a snob the idea is ln- tended to be conveyed is that he or she is ultra exclusive and wishes to as sociate only with persons who are con- sidered very smart. In fact, to be smart, a person must necessarily be somewhat snobbish, according to the American exclusiyeness is even more necessary than in places where the lines are defined by rank, says the New York Tribune. The so-called Four Hundred is, as everyone knows, di- vided up into any number of sets and cliques, but, nevertheless, despite as sertions to the contrary, there is al- ways one set that is fashionable para mount. That is to say, invitations from it's leaders are more prized than any others, and to be admitted within it's limits is coveted honor. And here we come back to our accepted defini- tion 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 enlarge their small coterie, or to hide their indifference to the world at large, come under the same classification. Thaekeray's people, with their miserable little attempts to pass themselves off for other than they are (and we safely assert that there are more of that fix in England than America), we could 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.

WARNED BY HIS SOUPs
Queer Yarn of How an English Broker Saved His Fortune in
 Wall Street.

Vermicelli cut into little letters is a thing commonly found in modern soup. But it is not often that it saves a man from financial disaster. as it did in the following case: An American visiting England was dining in London the other day during the height of the Wall street boom, says the London Daily News.
 The talk turned on that subject, and the American, who had bought largely at high figures, maintained against the general opinion that the great prices rested on a solid busi- ness basis. Suddenly he saw in the spoonful of soup, which he was rais- ing to his lips four letters, forming the word Sell" Somewhat shaken by this, for he was man of super stitious turn of mind, he went on with his soup in troubled mood. until only six of the small white cap itals remained floating in his plate. They spelled the word "Unload." Hastily rising he excused himself upon a plea of indisposition, and took a cab to the nearest open telegraph office. He cabled to his broker, or dering the immediate sale of all he held in railways. As New York time is five hours behind our own, the thing was done before the market closed. The next day the panic be- gan. He had got out at the top of the market.

Improvement of the Cow.

l We learn from sacred history and books of ancient writers that the COW, like the OK, originally was used solely for agricultural purposes, at least, for many hundred years, perhaps, before her milk was used as product for household consumption. It is gener- ally believed, also, that originally the COW, like the deer, buffalo, moose, and elk, gave only sufficient milk to rear her young, from which we see what a wonderful degree of improvement has taken place, when a single animal is nowadays made to produce 100 pounf :, (50 quarts) of milk in single day, oI 100 pounds of butter in month; or again, when COW has averaged over her own weight in milk every month for year. When we consider the original inferior ancestry of these ami ma1s, these results. are something marvellous. Care, climatic influences, selection, mating, and food have been the causes, and of these, food has played the principal part in produc- ing improvements. Man, by selecting and mating, has taken advantage oi the variations produced by food, or the abnormal characteristics, and has gradually molded and fashioned an animal to suit his taste and ideals as to greater production, as we'll as greater beauty and symmetry of form.-Out ing.

FLIRTING WITH FACTS.
Illustrative Instances of the Way the Daily Press Gets Things
 Twisted.

Some funny things concerning the paper trade appear in the daily papers now and then. For example, a New York paper stated recently that the ground wood pulp mill at Sault Ste. Marie has a daily capacity of 125,00O tons, and that sulphite mill of a daily capacity of 75,ooO tons is very near completion.
 Another daily paper tells of watches, chains and all sorts of jewelry having been picked out of the beating engine of a mill at St. Joseph, Mich, and says that once every week, when the beater is cleaned, the employees of the mill plunge head-frst into it in search of valuables, says the Paper Mill.
 The impression is conveyed that 8 handful of jewelry is fished out on every occasion.
 In the field of daily newspaper work it is really wonderful that the mis- takes made are so few. But such mis- takes as these are not excusable.
 A seconds consideration would show their improbability, not to say the impossibility, and so prevent the dissemination of transformation
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-07-01

Although Representative Loud or California was non-committal when asked the direct question. his presence ill Washington at this time and his holding extended conferences with po- tai officials, after office hours, indicates that he intends to renew his fight to exclude certain classes of publications from the privileges of second-class mail at the coming session of congress. In two congresses the powerful infu- ences, political and otherwise, behind those classes of publications have been strong enough to defeat MT Loud's bill. There isn't the slightest doubt that re form is needed in the laws which gov ern admission to the second-class .mail privileges. Many publications enjoy that privilege that should not, and when it is remembered that second class mail is carried at an enormous loss by the government, and that if the money so lost could be saved, it would be possible to reduce letter post age to 1 cent, it would seem easy to get reform bill through congress, but experience has taught that it is not.

WELSH TONGUE IN AMERICA.
Expectations Are That It Will Go Down Through Passing of old
 Promoters.

As far as this country and the welsh are concerned it looks dark and hope less. From quarter to a half century ago there arose large number of lit- erary men and poets in the United States who served the Welsh newspa- pers and periodicals well and falth- fully. Although some of them could speak English, Welsh and Welsh liter ature was their pleasure, which they sought, night and day, says Drych, of Utica.
 That class of Welshmen is passing away, one by one, and none with liter ary tendencies arises to take their place and continue the progress of Welsh literature. We can say without any doubt that the vast majority of the contributors to the Drych to-day are 40 years of age and upward, and many of the best are over 30. There are but a few young who are treading in the footsteps of the fathers. The vast majority of young Welsh people stand at the dividing line between Welsh and English. and are rapidly go- ing over to the latter, to be separated completely in language and spirit from the civilization of the fathers. Ana many of the fathers, who are faithful to the Welsh, and earnest in speech in it's behalf, are bringing up their chll- dren in manner entirelyS Sin- Welsh.
 So, the expectations are that Welsh will go down in the United States when the fathers and mothers go the way of all the earth, for a crop of anything cannot be expected where there has been no sowing. Many hope and ex- pect the old language to live by miracle, as it were, by Divine interferencei in it's behalf, without realizing the natural fact that the Welsh must be planted and watered before progress may be expected. The Drych, like Apollos, week after week, continues the water ing process, but what has not been planted cannot be watered, for there is no Paul planting.

Laugh Heartily and Live Long.

The discontented worries of mos rose person may very likely shorten his days, and the general justice of natures arrangement provides that his early departure should entail no long regrets, says British medical journal. On the other hand, the man who can laugh keeps his health. To be perfectly healthy laughter comes often. Too commonly, though, as childhood is left behind, the habit fails, and half smile is the best that visits the thought-lined mouth of a modern man or woman. People become more and more burdened with the accumula- tions of knowledge and with the weigh ing responsibilities of life, but they should still spare time to laugh.
