Dailv Democrat AM MICAS SNOBS. There is undoubtedly a "snobbery" as despicable in this country as in any othxr. In England and other old countries fami lies which date back many years hold pre cedence. This is fair and reasonable. If any of the descendants of Shakespeare, Macauley or Milton were living to-day any one who respected the genius or intel lect of their ancestors could but have the same feeling towards them. This is the aristocracy of the world, and of all condi tions and classes of men. The descend, anti of William Tell and Winklercid if such men ever existed should receive the greatest re.pect from every one of their Swiss countryman. No honor paid to them would be oit of place, and when such deeds are forgotten by a people it is unmistakable evidence that respect fcr genius and worth are wanting. This be speaks a sorry state of affairs. and indicates a condition which is deplorable in any free Country. The example of patriot, of statesmen, and of men of literary and scientific attainments should be examples for the rising generations, especially in a country where the highest position is within the grasp of the humblest citizen. When this is not the standard of human excellence, there is no reward for merit. To place on scions of nobility any regard because they were to the manor born is wrong, because there may be no founda tion of genius, virtue cr attainments a:, the basis. But the most despicable the worst 6nobs in the whole region of snobbery are those Americans who heve neither merit nor intelligence.ani! who claim their stand ing simply through the freaks of fortune or the acquisition of wealth by unfair means. Th.-y assume all the airs of Brit sh aristocrats, in a free country, and at tempt to ape the manners of the privileg ed classes of Europe, without the intelli gence or gentlemanly or lady like training of the old country. It is true we have no caste rule in America, but this fnobbery tends 19 elevate one class above another, and not upon acquired or inherent merit. The children of the poor.although educat ed and well reared, have but little oppor tunity to mingle with the shoddy class of society ruling in il .is country,ar.d must take a back teat in consideration of wea'th and position. There is a screw looe some where in this republic, and the sooner by social ostracism we get lid of snobs and snobberv the better. Mountaineer. TEN 00. id IMI'.'US TO KN'OW. I. That salt will curdle new milk; hence in preparing milk porridge, gravies, etc., salt should not be added until the dish is prepared. i.

Tie a lump of wax in a rag and krep it for that purpose. When the irons are hot, rub them first with the wax rag. then scuur with a paper or cloth sprinkled with salt. 7. That blue ointment and kerosene mix rd in equal proportions and applied to the bedsteads is an unfailing bedbug remedy, as a coat of whitewash is for the walls of a log house. S.

That cos! rain water and soda will remove machine grease from ua-hablt fabrics. The barbed wire patents.which have net. ted fortunes to their owners,have an Inter esting history. The first , patents were issued to a man named Kelly, living down east. About two years ktcr a farmer at De Kalb, III., conceived the idea of keep ing his unruly cattle in the pasture by putting short barbs on a wirj and then twisting it with a plain wire. This is known in the market as the Glidden wire, being named after its inventor, Joseph F. Glidden. One day while he was experi menting with it a neighbor going by shout eJ : "Joe, you better be out ha Term' in vour oats instead of foolin' away your time w ith patents."
