The Notable Wit and Watering-Place Tales
A compilation of quirky anecdotes from a Cincinnati Times item about cadets and family quips, a seven year old at a hotel, and a church anecdote. It frames humor in mischief and moral caution with regional humor and a punch about temperance and Mormons.

The Great Wall as a Straight Line Across China
An American engineer argues the Great Wall runs 1728 miles in a perfectly straight traverse over valleys and hills. He notes bridges over brooks and towers along rivers. The piece compares this to Emperor Nicholas planning a direct railroad route and ends with a patent medicine ad for Dr Bull's Baby Syrup.
