NOTES AND COMMENTS.
It is reported that Oscar Wilde has become insane. This happened, it is said, when his head was shorn of its glossy locks. The "convict crop" was too much for the disgraced apostle of aesthetic culture, and he forthwith went out of his mind, and had to be confined to a padded room. It is just possible, however, that there may be method in his madness. To be treated as lunatic is no doubt preferable from his point of view to being compelled to perform hard labour.
