mated loss In timber was about A.

money over $1O.00O.OOO. Several hun
dred persons perished.
A destructive fire Of more recent
years was that which started near
Hinckley, Mimi, Sept. l. 1894. While
the area burned over was less than
in some other great fires. the loss of
life and property was very heavy.
Hinckley and six other towns were
destroyed about 500 lives were lost.
more than 1000 persons were left
destitute and the estimated loss In
property of various kinds was $751;
900, 900. Except for the heroic con-
duct of locomotive engineers and

At the English universities the IL

have become famous as places Of

illustrate this Is to the effect that an
elderly fellow of Caius college, Cam

mined to put himself quietly and un-
ostentatiously out of the way. 30 that
the world In general and Caius col
lege in particular should know him
no more. Being q man with great
love still for his college. he made up
his mind that no scandal should be
caused by his sudden departure. 80
he debated in his mind on the ways
and means. His decision was an In
spiration. He bought q decent length
of rope and hanged himself in the
college library. But his hopes were
doomed to disappointment. He was
discovered year and a half later.

of the uproarious fun that the English

is often a poet. and nearly always
