A friend recounts a hospital death where a young nurse mechanically followed orders and failed to close the deceased’s eyes, revealing how depersonalized care can appear. The tale contrasts with a sensational ad for No-to-bae, a tobacco habit cure, touting its safety and universal availability.
Dr James Weir notes mechanical geniuses show few signs of mental decline while the emotional genius often shows degeneration. He cites Darwin Galileo Edison Watt Rumsey and others as evidence. The piece also covers alcoholism heroic legacies and a curious German bread made from sawdust. It ends with a tale of a man moving a house to Olympia and an old legend of the Seven Golden Cities.

Mr. W. Woodville Rockhill details a harsh crossing of the Central Asian plateau in Century. He notes lifeless landscapes with no trees or flowers except briefly, harsh winds and dust, brackish valleys, and wild yaks and antelopes as rare signs of life. Travel would be nearly impossible without yak dung fuel and limited trails.
Excerpts from Marianne North’s observations recount humorous missteps of Turkish hosts, odd customs, and social quirks. A pasha’s breakfast on a ground cloth, a portrait that isn’t the one, and a box for a joke fill a playful chapter about worldliness and vanity.
