Daughters Profit More in China than Sons in Marriage
A Brooklyn essay argues raising daughters in China yields higher returns than sons. It outlines household roles, strict gender separation, and the reverence for female virtue shaping domestic life. It contrasts Chinese women's practical education in cooking, sewing, and nursing with limited public status for women in America.

Lord Charles Hamilton and the Naples Bulldog Car Reroute
In Naples Lord Charles Hamilton travels with a fierce bulldog in a first class carriage. An inspector forbids the dog from riding passenger, but Hamilton refuses to move. Italians rearrange the train and depart, as Hamilton smokes and ponders when the train will start. His reaction underscores the old warning not to mock fools.
