Hand kissing versus handshakes in society

The London World notes Victor Hugo as a rare man in France for kissing a lady's hand, not shaking it. The piece argues for latitude in salutes, noting some ladies have beautiful hands and ugly faces, so the hand should be the focus, yet allows the gentleman to choose between hand and cheek if needed.

Butlerism and the Tinker’s Dam Metaphor Explored

The New York Sun rewrites Butlerism as a fusion of cleverness and honesty, shunning sham while pursuing truth and practice. The query asks if tinker's dam is the peak of metaphor or used to match the paragraph’s rhythmic force.

Cutting Distance and the Drive for Shorter Water Routes

A historical reflection on why 19th century planners pursued transpeninsular and canal projects. It argues that progress, powered by science and commerce, demands cutting coastlines and creating direct routes, citing the Cape Cod canal, Florida division plans, and Gen. Gillmore’s 1880 proposal to link the Mississippi system to an Atlantic port via St. Marys river and Fernandina. The piece contrasts past restraint with a modern leap into rapid, utility‑driven achievement.

Fashion and public jests spark in diverse notes

The item mixes social quirks and sharp asides from a late 19th century column. It references urban fads such as drying up seasons, spry rulers, red bonnets, and rabbit pets, plus sharp quips about politicians and a Tennessee schoolmaster’s punitive kisses. It notes Roscoe Conkling and Tom Platt’s estrangement, a Paris ad for a monkey and two parrots, and a quip about a Beech­er gun in California.

Poultry farming in Lancaster shows large scale profits

A. C. Hawkins of Lancaster operates a 25 acre poultry complex with 8,000 fowls, 2,500 laying hens, and a 1,000 egg incubator. He reports yearly costs around 110 to 120 dollars per head and net profits of 125 to 130 dollars per hen, plus revenue from manure and fancy poultry sales. The venture requires careful management, disease knowledge, and neat premises.
