The article notes a 3600 year old papyrus showing Egyptian math with fractions and operations. It includes problems like barley shared among ten people and seven cats with seven mice each, plus area, circle to square, and pyramid volume calculations.
A brief reminiscence recalls a sensational interview pursuit with Robert Louis Stevenson in San Francisco. A striking scene unfolds as the frail author endures a nurselike knitting task while the reporter, pressed for time, leaves with a quiet, awkward ending. A second anecdote notes a dog’s jealousy of a new baby, observed as the pet somberly naps by the fire, then inexplicably noses the infant.
A collection of humorous quips and exchanges from newspaper chatter. Probing lines include a hotel owner with a phonograph playing apt songs to spur tipping and patience, a math gag about dividing apples, and Uncle Mose’s self described misanthropy in a Baptis' accent. The pieces showcase light social wit and character sketches from the era.
A compilation of sharp lines compares national pride and beauty across cultures. The excerpts feature a Scottish voice warning against disrespect and a reflection on carrying beauty within, attributed to London Sketch and Ericson.
A Victorian style fragment explains how touch and temperature tricks can fool weight judgment. A warm metal piece on the forehead makes cold metal feel heavier, due to skin sensation and pressure rather than actual weight.
In a Vermont rural tale, Ab Drake, feared by his meek wife for fifty years, extols her virtues after her death.
