Grocer Gags and Household Quips Blend In Paper Silly
A collage of jokes and anecdotes finds a grocer advertising with ham and cigars as a quip, a birthday nose remark, early rising jokes about dryness, a girl mishearing ears, Polish immigrant tailors, playful court banter about wet goods, and a Webster anecdote about trout in a farm stream, all in a light, bygone-era tone.
Turkish Marriage Customs and Whistler Breakfastes
A Pall Mall Gazette note explores Turkish marriage practice where dowry and family oversight shape unions and brides rare glimpse via veil. It also parodies Mr. Whistler's breakfasts in London with deviled beetle imagery and a parade of eclectic dishes. Plus a naturalist description of Cuniots Trophic Tree forms with varied root projections and trunk indentations.

Respectful Under Difficulties in Westminster Abbey
A London Letter notes an American matron moving reverently through Westminster Abbey and stepping on notable tombs drawing hushed reproach from companions. The piece contrasts reverence with discomfort as she quips about touching Ben Jonson Dickens and Dryden. It shifts to American attitudes on women performing large parts of agricultural work in Europe, with men supervising and absent in beer gardens and armies.
