Show 4 IN THE SOCIAL REALM. One of the brightest seasons of the year is Thanksgiving time, for all the world assumes its pleasantest expression and enters into the spirit of the time without reserve. Usually people put aside all the petty and mean things of life and this helps to brighten the passing hours, for certainly people enjoy themselves most when surrounded by smiling faces. Thanksgiving in the city passed off in the usual happy manner, with the accustomed large number of family dinners which were in many cases shared by the strangers. And the latter no doubt fully appreciated the entertainment, fcr does there exist a man who when alone in a large city and far from home, could help feeling homesick and lonely on Thanksgiving day?

Historic Forest Fires, in point of loss of life, the Peshtigo fire in Wisconsin, in October, 1871, was the most severe this country has known. This fire burned over 2000 square miles, destroying millions of dollars worth of timber and other property. The number of lives lost was between 1000 and 1500, including nearly half of the town of Peshtigo. About the same time, a series of fires occurred in Michigan, in which several hundred persons perished. The property loss was about $10,000,000. During the early part of September, 1881, great forest fires again swept Michigan, and the aggregate of the various areas burned was more than 1800 square miles. The miscellaneous property losses, in addition to the timber destroyed amounted to $2,000,000. Fully 5000 people were left destitute, and the number of lives lost has been variously estimated at from 150 to 500. Still more recent, and one of the most destructive, was the Hinckley, Minn., fire of September 1, 1804. The burned area was less than in some of the others, but the life and property losses were unusually heavy. Hinckley and six ,other towns were destroyed, nearly 500 lives were lost, and more than 2000 persons were rendered destitute. The estimated loss of property was $25,-000,00- G4 The most recent great disaster from forest fives was that ,of September, 1902, in Oregon and Washington. It resulted in a loss of eighteen lives and $12,000,000 in timber and property of various kinds. H. M.

ONI PRICK TD ALL The peninsula of India is famous for the excellence of its mica deposits. On account of its delicacy mica quickly suffers from the crushing effects of earth movements, and the superiority of the Indian deposits is ascribed to the geologically long and perfect quiescence that the great peninsula has enjoyed. In the Nellore district crystals, or books, of muscovite-mic- a have been obtained, measuring ten feet across the basal planes. Usually they are much smaller, and even in India the stability of the earth has not been sufficiently continuous to prevent the destruction of large quantities of this delicate and valuable mineral. -- ? pat-.roness- WHO liter ' WODLDVT BE9CR Oqe of lor Qeiast Dress lets?
