A rambling editorial style reflection questions religion and society. It mocks church creeds and fame, notes life as brief and death lasting, and urges practical charity over debate. The piece wields aphorisms about wisdom, love, money, and the fate of the hungry and forgotten.
A collection of aphorisms on liberty, pain, loyalty, virtue, sympathy, beauty, patriotism, and truth. The quotes explore human motives, goodness, and the limits of impulse, urging natural, honest thinking and humane action amid judgment and change.
A collection of light humor and dialogue bits from various newspapers. Includes exchanges about kissing, a rector reading ragtime, a joke with a rock et launch, and a traveler’s wife sending letters. Also features satire on local jottings and a beggar with rent collection humor.
A mosaic of aphorisms and quotes from Epictetus to Longfellow. The fragment surveys friendship, self correction, debt, duty, and the inner life, urging restraint from public censure, personal responsibility, and empathetic insight into others.
A roundup of remarkable facts and trivia from around the world, including Gibraltar’s tunnel system, London’s vast telegraph and sewer networks, per capita land shares, peculiar wedding customs in Sweden, Italian charcoal use, a colossal Japanese idol, U.S. forest reserves and deforestation worries, a silver Masonic chain from Augusta, a Queen Victoria lookalike pew opener, a royal clock in Rothschild hands, and wind and multi-face clocks in Brussels and St. Petersburg.
New protective devices include a guard to shield open car windows from dust and wind, a zigzag plate guard with vertical spikes to deter cattle at grade crossings, a mortising drill with multiple cutting bits driven by gears, and a cymbal campaign torch with two linked cymbals activated by rod tilt.
