A garbled column reviews varied topics from a promoter named Small seeking a peanut venture in Virginia to observations on insects in imports, German embargoes, and quips about Paris trials. The piece touches on whiskey taxes, Alaska and Yukon tales, and a critique of Spanish actions in Cuba, ending with reflections on royal ancestry and charitable giving.
The article outlines the Panama Canal plan with a 54 mile route from Colon to the Pacific, details the Culebra cut, and notes a French-led company employing about 3,000. It also warns against fraudulent Alaska transportation schemes selling passages to Dawson via Canadian routes, urging government inspection to protect passengers.
A fragment notes onions as a tempting vegetable that often tempts people to stash them away. It hints at a habit but provides no factual details, names, places, or dates.
A judge sentences a son to death, but the prisoner reveals the truth, shocking the court and breaking the old father’s heart. The tale ends with the mother spared from the grim detail as she unknowingly loses both parents later.
The piece explains how the months got their names from Roman gods and terms. It covers January to December with notes on Janus, Februs, Mars, Aprilis, Maius, Juno, Julius Caesar, Augustus, and the seven to ten positions in earlier calendars. It mentions the winter solstice near December.
A young girl from Broadstairs recalls a harsh winter when her poor parents sent her to Ramsgate to buy winter boots. The parcel spilled, leaving only brown paper, and she retraced her steps asking two passersby if they had seen the boots.
Fragmentary dialogue recounts an exchange where a narrator is nudged to learn about Charles Dickens. The speaker notes an encounter with a witty but errant man and proclaims Dickens will perform a kind action one day, as observed in a Scotsman reference.
A historic account notes Alaska Native use of abalone shells and silver for trade and value. It describes native bracelets made from silver dollars, their totemic engravings, and the shift from furs and blankets to silver as preferred currency. It highlights Tlingit artistry and the ceremonial, stylized animal motifs on early bracelets.
The text catalogs multiple calendar systems and eras from 1898 to ancient periods. It notes the Julian, Jewish, Olympiad, Grecian, Seleucid, Japanese, Mohammedan, and other eras with approximate year placements and cross-era comparisons in a historical journal style.
Charles Huber of Durand Wisconsin maintains about twenty five full blood bison plus eighteen crossed bulls and heifers. Early experiments with crossbreeds show a successful mix of docility and endurance, with good fur, palatable meat, and greater winter hardiness than native cattle. The Hubers believe continued growth could yield a fortune in coming years.
A humorous verse portrays Daisy as fair and earthbound yet tandem obsessed. Daisy’s fault halts Reggie’s efforts as he pumps and steers while she completes the task, a lighthearted jab at mischief and flirtation in rustic imagery.
A tale recounts Hiawatha’s persistence in uniting tribes into a confederacy despite opposition from Atotarho. He spoke with prophetic wisdom, outlined tribal roles, and the treaty was enacted. After the ceremony he departed in a white canoe that rose and vanished, while the confederacy endured for centuries and annual rites preserve its origins.
Investigations into workers health show strict rules benefiting both community and individuals. Sedentary work in poorly ventilated rooms and dusty atmospheres raise respiratory risk, especially in needle and steel tool grinding and metal mining. Respirators, better ventilation, and smooth floors reduce tuberculosis and other illnesses among operatives.
A modest woman entered a Madison Avenue drug store and silently presented her fingers to a clerk.
