A vintage piece argues that a woman’s path to happiness lies in virtue and motherhood, urging brides to embrace practical home duties, gentleness, and self control. It questions modern marriages and links a mature wife to stable, successful homes while offering domestic tips and moral reflections.
A workman claimed compensation for losing his left eye after a factory explosion. The judge tested his sight with a blackboard and two glasses, one red and one green, to reveal that the man could read the chalk sentence only because the red lens distorted the text. The judge dismissed the case.
Two year update on the Damascus to Mecca railway shows 412 kilometres cleared with 200 laid track and 252 in operation. Bridges tunnels and viaducts are required as workers, mostly inexperienced Turkish soldiers, gain practice. Grand plan aims to cover 683 kilometres amid evolving pilgrim travel by rail and steamship.
A dated moralistic piece advises wives to avoid pitying weak husbands. It argues that showing faith in a husband's strength can cultivate energy, ambition, and pride. By treating him as capable, a wife may inspire him to live up to the qualities she credits him with.
A young Scotsman wearing an oddly shaped wooden hat visits a famed engineer in Birmingham. The hat falls, the man apologizes, and the engineer, impressed by the ingenuity, hires him. The hat symbolizes a mind ready to apply practical ideas to coal gas and jetting.
A collection of anecdotal courtroom moments featuring Mr Justice Hawkins and Sir Henry, detailing times when Hawkins mispronounced words during a seven year sentence and a dramatic courtroom exchange where a prisoner insists on innocence. The piece notes a long trial where a memory memo was sent to a leading counsel with comical misreadings.
