A Selfish Maidservant At Bucknell University
A fragmentary account recounts a Bucknell professor's remarks about a mansion servant known as a selfish maidservant. The piece references a humorous misquote and a scene involving a cook named Martha, with scattered dialogue about authority and social attitudes.
Early Rising versus Peak Working Power
The piece argues that rising before 7:20 harms late day performance, as daylight exposure in summer lowers mood and energy. It notes each person has about 40 units of working power and cautions against exhausting it in the early morning. Individual schedules should match when one needs peak vigor, favoring late rising for evening-focused work.

Origin of the curve ball by Arthur Cummings in 1867
An old-time pitcher Arthur Cummings, a New York youth, supposedly originated the curve ball. In 1867, during a Washington scrimmage between New York’s Excelsior players and Washington Nationals Juniors, he stunned observers with a pitch that curved sharply, baffling batters and the catcher. The trick led to a national fascination as Cummings later joined the Champion Athletics.
