Boston Globe on Hale and the toil of writers in journalism

A critical essay by a Boston writer discusses Rev. Edward Hale’s claim that a writer is a sovereign creator. It contrasts literary passion with the pressures of daily journalism, praising Stowe’s integrity and noting how modern papers prioritize money, pace, and public reach over solitary genius. The author recalls Boston newspaper history and laments the grind of serial stories.

Moon Feast Kite Flight in China Described in Park Scene

A late 19th century note describes China’s moon feast with feasting and kite flying, noting tailless kites like the long centipede model. At West Roxbury Park a group of Chinamen flew elaborately patterned kites, entertaining visitors as they celebrate the season with skyward displays and odd designs.

The Fan Kite and Its Enigmatic Humming Craft

A Boston scene details Chinese kite makers and exotic designs. The piece describes humming attachments on kites shaped like a fiddle bow and a fan kite that tilts rapidly, plus the centipede and fan tail varieties. It notes the kite flyers rely on individual skill, with Chinamen guiding launches without running and assistants untangling lines amid festive, noisy scenes.

Marriage in Japan as Civil Rite Sparks Legal Reform

The piece argues marriage in Japan is civil and religion plays no role, contrasts with our system, notes divorces are common among the lower classes, and cites the husband’s failure to return his wife’s property as a key dispute. Officials consider reforms to equalize moral rules, ban concubinage, and require maintenance after separation.
