all practical, and the discussions which
followed each showed that the object
and intention of those present was Pto
obtain all of the information possible
regarding the subject in hand. Mr. An-
drew Jacksou, of Wilton, spoke upon

a:most bountiful collation. to which par"
ticular attention-,was paid, - but without
seeming to diminish the supply of good
things. After that part had been attended
to the company reassembled in the
school house for the afternoon session.
The first address was by Hon. T. S.
Gold, secretary or the State Board of
Agriculture. Mr. Gold gave a history of
the Starr’s agricultural school: its origin
object and prospect. The speaker
was listened to very attentively,
as his audience were interested in
‘ his subject. Mr. hf. W. Wilson followed
Mr. ‘ Gold i an address upon "The

cated the {rear of animals of known

lives,” says his health was never better than
now. He attributes the cancerous tumor in
the month, which last year caused him so
much trouble, entirely to the use of tobacco.
"For fifty-five years,” he says, "I chewed
and smoked. Last spring I endeavored to
break the habit, but it broughton nervous
prostration. I am happy to say that I have
conquered the habit,._and now do not use the
wood in any form." ,.
M. Zola, the novelist, is still comparatively
young, havingfbut just passed his fortieth
year. He is the son of an Italian engineer, -
and, curiously enough, failed to pass his
graduating examination at college. He then
turned to journalism, in which he spent two
years, living in a precarious and wretched
fashion. literally from hand to mouth.
Fame and fortune have since come to him,
however; but, though one of the wealthiest
writers of the day, he still leads a busy and
unpretentious life:
The New York Times believes that if the
pernicious practice of mucking cigarettes is

American republic. and says that-the decad-
