Forest Fires. Wet weather during the spring and summer has been succeeded by drought in the Northwest with the usual se- quence of forest and prairie fires that have destroyed: towns, forests and crops and are now. burning up the dry peat accumulations of swamps and marshes, toasting potatoes in the ground and burning the corn out by the roots. Fortunately the damage caused by these dry weather fires while distrib- uted through the States of Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota and the province of Manitoba, is con- .fined toa few localities in each, and will not cause widespread sulfering nor Forest and the autumn unusually heavy aloss. prairie fires during droughts are of common occurrence in the Northwest, and the destruction caused by the fires now raging is hard- ly likely to be put up to the average in dry seasons. 4“; EY.’ Insanity 0r Temper. A'remarkable story was told in the New York papers Tuesday, says the Hartford Times,"'of a ll-year-Old boy who became violently insane through disappointment at not being able to at- tend school. It seems certain that he had been talked to a? “goodfi‘déar “abofit importance of an education and had come to place a fictitious value. on it, , or had developed a monomania' on the subject. The story as told hardly makes it clear what explanation should be given. The case is a strange one on either theory. ' The boy’s name is Romeo Weisen- 'ing as is good for him. A very moder- ate quantity ought to answer until he has recovered perfectly from the ab- normal strain to which he has evident- ly subjected himself for two or three weeks. FEMININE CHAT. K Hallowe’en dances are being planned. Chrysanthemums are beginning to appear. The foot-ball enthusiast' is now a feat- ure of social life. The “Newport Coil” is the name of the latest coiffure. To be perfectly correct the English subject now speaks of the Prince of Wales as “the Future One.” To see a really pathetic exhibition behold the one lone man who has strayed into a woman’s lunch room. Roasted chestnuts proclaim the fact that autumn is really with us. Judging by indications the winter girl will be just as flufiy as her summer sister. There was no good reason for Mr. Langtry’s going out of his mind, ex- cept merely because he had long since gone out of Mrs. Langtry’s mind. What makes the sight of a youthful couple on a tandem not unpleasant, is that both for the time are interested in the common weal. The new woman may know all about repairing her bicycle, but she doesn’t" can much fruit. Once in a while, and once only, thank goodness, do we see a woman on the street done up in a satin frock, with a tinkling accompaniment of jet and a halo of nodding plumes. Many a woman cries her heart out because her husband -~doesn’t love her any more, when she should be glad ' that herdoesn’t love her any less. Some of the new fur capes show little ruflles, which would be much more fetching 'if set aeiioss the shoulders in- stead of as a sort of border. Until we get so We do not feel disap- pointed over the non-arrival of an ex- pected new gown we have not learned the true philosophy of life. it necessary to chronicle all the doleful events that have‘occurred in the circle of natural acquaintance, dwelling 'par- ticularly on all the gruesome details. berg. His parents are industrious and work hard for a little money. The mother has talked much to Romeol about the advantages of education. Last summer Romeo worked for money With which to=bu" clothes for school, but 'at theopeningof the term he was one of those excluded, because there are not school houses enough in New York-to accommodate the children of the city. Romeo has done everything toget admitted. He tried again and again to get some other boy to yieldl him his place; he waited about the school when the pupils came out and sometimes succeeded in getting a pupil to teach him what he had learned in- side; he borrowed the books of other boys and tIied to keep up with what they were doing; wheneVer he heard I of some man supposed to have influence he went to see him and begged to have a place made for him in the school. On Monday the children in the same tenement refused 'to lend him booss because, they said, they had to use It' is all very well to talk about the early bird catching the worm, but it does seem as though that idiotic worm .would have displayed much more sense escaped a dire fate if he hadn’t 3 gone promenading when sleep was em- inently more the proper caper. The Methodist society of South N or- walk, have organized what is to be known as-._a- Carpet Society, thé‘ object of which is to raise money, to buy car- petin g for their new church edifice. The idea is a novel one, the manner of subscription being for so many yards of carpet at 800 per yard. The plan ought to succeed without necessarily pressing hard on any individual. BLUE PEOPLE BRIGHT. The business man’s friend, Bicola Pills. are a scientific remedy and the only perfect cure for the diseases of the nervous system. A remedy adapted for the banker, lawyer, doctor, preacher and merchant. While Bicola Pills are intended for all who are afflicted with nervous weakness, they are particular- ly adapted to women suffering from a weakened condition of the nervous sys- te m, with prostration, faintness,- etc. Blcola Pills give immediate relief—for rheumatism, all blood and nervous them themselves. Thereupon Romeo became violent. He was got into his father’s tenement and then began to thr‘ow the dishes about. was caugh tjust as he t1 iedto throw a. lighted lamp at his sister, and strug- gled so violently that it took two men to hold him. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he became calm and- told the physician that if he would get. him into school he would do anything _ he could for him in return. It is not often that children of 11 yeals of age beCome insane. The e seems to be a doubt whether this boy . is leally insane 01 whethel his w0I1y and disappointment led to an hysteli- cal outbreak that has no other import- ance than as an index of the bitterness of his disappointment. In either as-‘. pect the case is remarkable enough to invite gtufly, and if the boy comes: out of the hospital soon with an unclouded mind, some means will be found by which he may obtain as much school-y I," troubles.
