Society.

Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish has an
nounced that she will no longer
sacrifice her self-respect to help
keep alive the colony of creeplings
which alternates between New York
City and Newport. The smart set
is a deadly bore, she AYERS, being
good company for no human being.
Nobody is more tired than / Of
these funny little people who think
themselves queens" she says.
They're too absurd. too ridiculous
They are making Newport the
laughing stock of the country"
Mrs. Fish has classified the resi-.
dents of Newport into two large fam,
lilies the sycophants and the snobs
Persons who belong to one nor the
other species have no place in So
ciety. And of the two trends, de
clares Mrs Fish, she is not certain
which one she abhors most. "Any
body who wants to get into society
and has enough money only has t,

the insults Which are dealt out to

says Mrs. Fish, are detestable, be-
ing servial and without common
intelligence, The others-those who
have already won a place in the in
ner circle-are no less disgusting
in theif Snug assumption of su-
perfority. AS interesting persons to
talk with, to accompany places, they
are transcended by any representa-
tive of the great middle classes.
This new aristocracy-th aristoc-
racy Of money, asserts Mrs. Fish,
has ruined Newport. Society stands
for nothing but snobbery-not the
snobbery Of intellect or achieve

proves Of that-but the snobbery of

The Delaware County, News takes
issue with those of its republican
brethren who assert that Gov. Cum
Minis is politically dead, as witness
the following editorial. from its col
umns: Such men as Cummins are
not eliminated by one defeat and if
the standpatters think they are rid
Of him they are sadly mistaken Mr..
Cummins and the principles for
which ne stands are right and there
is nothing surer than the fact that
both are eventual winners 1t was
thought by the standpat Democrats
in 1896 that W. j. Bryan was elm
mated because of defeat at the polls
but he was lively factor in 1900
When again defeated it was de-
clared that he would be heard from
no more but here he is again bigger
than ever. The principles that
he is contending for are largely
right and the corporations of the
country can't kill him off. The
principles enunciated by Cum
mins are absolutely right and
the failure to kill him off will be as
striking as in the case of Bryan"

iceland's Elder Ducks.

In Iceland on certain islands. near
Reikiavik, the elder duck is raised in
a systematic manner. 1t is really more
OF ii small goose than duck, being SO
independent of fish and animal food as
to be able to support itself by grazing
on seawecd Mt the bottom of the sea at
considerable depth. 1t is a splendid
diver. being as much at home under
the water as on the surface. The great
value of the elder ducks down is we'll
known. and. owing to the birds tend
ency to pull out such large quantities
for lining its nest that 1t leaves its
lower breast almost bare when 1t Is
setting. there Is no difficulty in get
ting good supply Of these feathers
without destroying the birds. In Ice
land 1t is strictly guarded against in

crime worse than stealing deer in Scot
land for any person to shoot an elder
duck

Tho Art Of Food.

I suppose none of US recognizes the
great part that is played in life by eat
ing and drinking. The appetite is SO
imperious that we can stomach the
least interesting viands and pass on "a
dinner hour thankfully enough on
bread and water-Just as there are
men who must read something, II 1t
were only "Bradshnw's Guide" But
there is romance about the matter aft
er all. Probably the table has more
dcvotees than love. and am sure that
food is much more generally entertain
ing than scenery. Do you give in. as
Walt Whitman would say. that you
are any the less immortal for that?
The true materialism is to be ashamed
of what we are. To detect the favor
of an olive is no less piece of human
perfection than to find beauty in the
colors of the sunset. = Robert Louis
Stevenson.

Authors, for example, are creating
