BOTANICAL RESEARCH
OF A. & M. college

Jackson, Miss, Oct. S.-Tha A. & NJ.
College is engaged in botanical re-
search that will eventually cover all
sections of the state, and result in the
gathering of a splendid herbarium at
the institution.
Prof. Richard n. Lobdell, assistant
professor of biology, has been at work
in the southern part of the state for
the past ten days and some interest
ing floral specimens have been gath
cred, one of unusual interest being an
insectiverous plant found only on the
gulf coast. 1t is a species of the trum-
pet leaf, which exudes a kind of gluten
that attracts bees and other insects
and when they have followed this
substance to the interior the plant
closes, and their decaying bodies
furnish a nutritious element for the
plant. Another plant, commonly
known as sundew, acts in a similar
manner very much after the process
of catching flies on sticky paper

BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of AT Good Old Siwash"

A snob is a person who believes he
Is better than other people, but is
afraid the world will not suspect it
unless he keeps advertising the fact.
An aristocrat knows he is better
than other people and presumes they
have good taste enough to know it too.
This enables him to make the world
happier by mingling with it without
fear Of soiling his standing. An arts
tocrat is Of no more real use, as an
aristocrat, than a French poodle. but
he is not disagreeable and is often an
ornament.
The aristocrat is the diety of the
snob. A snob is a man who has either
been noticed by an aristocrat or is try
ing to be. This compels him to con
centrate all his attention, courtesy
and consideration on the aristocrat,
and leaves him none for humble folks,
who have supper instead of dinner in
the evening.
We refer to snobs as "he" exclusive
ly out of consideration to womenkind.
1t is easy to tell snob, because of
your desire to hit him on his beauti-
fully marcelled nose, as soon as you
talk with him. BY nature, he is so
much like common folks that If he ever

got mixed up with them no one could
find him again. So it is necessary for
him to distinguish himself. which he
usually does by lack of good man
ners. Meeting d snob is like meeting
cold Goldfish in fog. Talking with
him is like holding a conversation
with a stern and distant dress shirt
bosom.
The snOb judges men by their clubs
and the cut of their coat tails, and
lives with eyes fixed fondly Oh the
top of the society column. Some
times he has a brain, but he always
has it under excellent subsection. He
always has manners, but never enough
to go around. He would rather &C
cept a cigar from a cotillion leader,
than an office of great trust from the
unshampooed public, and his two mis-
sions in life are to break into society
and then to put his back to the door
and keep others from breaking in af-
ter him.
There is no open season on the
snob, but there is always an open door
in his vicinity through which he may
emerge in haste, thus leaving him TO
annoy himself alone. Copyrighted by

Hartford. Aug. 14.-Gov.

Mr. Winthrop had sug- gested that Connecticut adopt legts- lation similar to other states that would prevent further discrimination against the navy uniform.
 Gov. Baldwin's letter follows: Your communication of August is received, suggesting the tdesira bility of legislation in Connecticut along lines of the federal statute and that of several of the states forbidding any discrimination against men in the military or naval uniform at places of public entertainment. I ap- preciate the importance of the object of these statutes and will see that your communication comes to the at- tention of my successor in office so athat he can bring it, if he thinks proper, to the attention of the legis- lature to be elected this fall.''

INFANT TAKEN FROM HEAD OF
 AFFLICTED MAN

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 14.-For the second time in the history of medicine and surgery, a complete embryonic infant has been removed from a male patient afflicted with a dermoid cyst.
 Isaac Willderstein, a patient at the County hospital here, has been af- fected with a growth at the side of the head which physicians thought to be benign tumor.
 Upon being opened, however, there was removed an embryoic infant, at the three month period some hair and several teeth we'll shaped. The physician who performed the opera ton. and made the remarkable dis covery. was Dr.. A. T. Sullivan The case is creating great deal of in- terest among medical men here.
 The operation was made necessary through the fact that the patient had shown paralytfc symptoms, traced directly to the growth at the left side of his head.
