The column carries a mash of wry observations on fashion economics science and public taste. It cites a variety of potshots about hats suffrage gold banking and daily life with playful mock-earnest commentary. Notable lines reference Mark Twain jokes about eggs hats and gender roles alongside curious tidbits about a St Peters elevator and a $3.6 million estate.
A rural and urban miscellany notes that French courts deny damages to intoxicated workers, citing contributory negligence. It urges strict enforcement of anti expectoration rules in public and highlights public health concerns about the ongoing anti white death campaign. It also praises naturalists and reports city wildlife sightings within New York as well as Central Park fauna.
The piece cites Mrs Catherine Waugh McCulloch of Evanston and suggests favoring fewer but better children. It argues that in a modern world of eight to ten dominant nations, population size matters for national power and that prosperity should balance quantity with quality, with a note of caution about welcoming newcomers.
The piece argues Americans misread serious science and social discoveries as jokes. It recalls Mark Twain as both serious inventor and humorist, noting how his attempts at inventions like a retractable hatpin failed amid public laughter, a fate shared by many pioneers.
In a heartwarming tale from Youth's Companion Aunt Rindy sacrifices her own honeymoon to tend Phillip Lee and Isabel Watts. She preserves the couple's home and even ships her wedding gown in a clean sheet as she stays behind to care for them. Her joy over their happiness shines through as she jokes about her own trip.
A stalled train’s passengers seek shelter in an abandoned farm house as a blizzard rages. A kind teacherly girl, two college professors, and a diverse group of travelers listen to a storyteller recount Odysseus. The tale unites a Russian Jew mother, a Beacon Street boy, and others before the conductor calls “Track clear. train ready all aboard.”
Old carpentry tip from the New York Sun suggests heating a red hot poker and applying it to a stubborn screw. The screw expands when hot and the hole enlarges slightly, allowing easier removal once the screw cools. This method saves effort and temper.
A historical note on changing British campaign methods. Electors no longer kidnap or coerce votes, yet tactics remain constant. It recalls Labouchere’s Windsor bid in the seventies with six hours daily canvassing and baby kissing, while a few voters decided outcomes and a diplomat tip altered the result through strategic interference.
London Truth notes that fashion lingered with minor changes across eras from Louis XIV to Louis XV and earlier. It contrasts past generations of Greek and Roman women, who remained stylish over time, with today’s tendency to discard costly dresses after wearing them once.
A banter torn from a carnival like scene shows Inebriated One-Shay challenging a friend with boastful claims as Stranger denies witnessing any rival. The lamp post remark echoes a showy, comic street exchange.
A humorous London Tit-Bits quip contrasts a barber charging a shilling for a haircut with the barber’s joke that the sparse hair required cutting each strand individually, illustrating a playful take on foolish arguments over region.
A fragment reflecting James Russell Lowell’s line about a universal church where true worship requires no ritual sacrifice. It imagines music in its aisles, lives upright as dreamlike angelic harps, and a service written in bright calm eyes with every look and word becoming prayer.
In Chicago Daily News style prose, Clarice recounts a spring night revelation leading to an engagement with Jack Phelps after a den surprise. The story blends romantic memory, mistaken identity, and the moment of recognizing a familiar voice jusqu’au origin. The fragment showcases a tongue in cheek confession about a couple's past.
The text describes a city divided into 278 sections each led by a resident male volunteer from prominent families. They pledged to withhold relief from unknown persons, visit households in need, and combine prudent admonitions with selective aid. Hartley and associates developed many modern devices for aiding the poor beyond home visits, promoting thrift and virtue as keys to prosperity.
In 1843 Robert M. Hartley organized the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor. He and Good Samaritans urged the able bodied poor to work and reform, warning that idleness and improvidence doomed them to charity and want. The tract urged self improvement and departure from beggary as the path to elevation.
The Kaiser left Potsdam in brown tweeds and was unrecognized by palace guards. He dined in Berlin incognito, bought cigarettes, and was followed by two detectives who finally confirmed his identity after twenty minutes. He rewarded them with a fine dinner and a hundred marks each.
Grace asks why the man behind the knocker wears a muzzle Harry replies to prevent him from biting the wheel chair. The dialogue hints at frustrations over women's voting power and a dismissive view of female voters. The witty banter contrasts social mores with politics in a playful scene.
A tabloid style review notes diverse curiosities from Nuremberg housing a pocket watch to submarines powered solely by electricity. It highlights future locomotive mileage and earnings, Australian and Canadian governors’ salaries, a new automatic rail coupler, delays in Venice’s cam panile, beriberi and phosphorus in polished rice, and Chinese fondness for watches and scientific instruments.
