THE EDITORS FAMILIAR CHAT.

Among the passengers, Monday, on the evening train to New Haven was Hon T. s. Gold of West Cornwall, secretary of the state board of agriculture. MT Gold is along up in the seventies, but is as active as in his younger days. He was en route to a meeting of the trus- tees of the Storrs school at Hartford. Mir Gold is not man who affects any style. He wears an old-style slouch hat and old-style neckwear. He is generally at tired in Prince Albert coat, and looks to be d fine old country gentleman. He wears beard, the cut of which suggests man from the rural districts, as Puck would portray him. Intellectually MT Gold is as keen as a briar, and as a pre- siding officer for farmers gatherings, he fits in as if made for the place. There is an immense correspondence connected with the office of secretary, which is at tended to mainly from his home in West Cornwall. Although The New England Homestead has used it's influence to dis lodge him from his position, he seems to have a more vigorous grip on it than ever. Indeed, there seems to be no de- mand for a change. MT Gold administers the office to the satisfaction of the farm CTS generally, am told. He is up to the times on agricultural matters, and the frantic attacks of the excellent Home stead have resulted in helping Mir Gold, if anything. The genial secretary is a man of positive convictions, and is a man who lives up to 'em, too. MT Colds home is situated way up on the Cornwall Hills, in a district known as Cream Hill. He has farm of 700 acres, which is carried on now mainly by a son. MT Gold, however, takes a hand in farm work, aRd when the writer visited him, the other day, he found Secretary Gold in the barnyard foddering his sheep.

In the Argentine Republic, a person who gets drunk receives a sentence of eight days at sweeping the streets, not a bad idea. How would it do for Connec- ticut to pass law requiring all "drunks" to work for eight days on the public roads ? It would tend to reduce drunken ness and solve the road problem, to a certain extent.

under his supervision, he has taken the trouble to make q thorough study, not only of the child's physical condition, but, whenever possible, of it's parentage and of it's antecedent conditions. Hav- ing kept complete record in this very full and interesting way for number of years, he found at last that he had the history of 600 hospital children. Such an investigation, of course, contained 8 large number of most instructive facts, instructive from physicians point of view, but none the less instructive from sociological point of view. A summary Of these studies of Dr Chapin's conclusions is presented in a brief ar ticle in the March number of The Forum, wherein he shows that heredity plays a comparatively unimportant part as com pared with the environment of child life.

Put this down in your diary, sleighing on the 11th of April. The storm which ragged all day Wednesday would have done credit to winter blizzard. It wasn't expected, and people were not prepared for it. The storm, according to weather officials, was the tail of the blizzard which has prevailed in the vest ern states since Monday night and which has been moving east. The storm has done great damage. The telegraph and telephone companies suffered greatly and the wires came down one after another. At Litchfeld the steeple of St Michaers Catholic church was blown down. When the full reports of the damage done are received, 1t will be found something tre- mendous. The fruit raising districts of Delaware and Maryland will suffer great ly from the loss of crops. The damage to shipping interests will amount to an enormous sum.
