A Victorian account describes Colonel Baden-Powell observing enemy movement in Matabeleland during a native rebellion. He tracks women and boys from a distant village to hills, noting a damp loaf scent and wind-blown traces, inferring looted beer and camp locations, gathering critical intelligence before retreat.
A column humorously critiques foreign military attaches and their oversight roles in war. It recounts mishaps during campaigns, including near misses, miscommunications, and decorum breaches, with anecdotes of attache misuse, travel misfortunes, and clashes between neutrality and hospitality.
A jagged quotation presents a defense of free speech and obedience to authority, mentioning Massachusetts and an artist. The speaker claims not to be alone in the view and references a servant being told not to door until a certain hour, even under stern command.
Composer and inventor Sir Arthur Sullivan, famed for HMS Pinafore, is credited with devising the Sullivan Safety Shaft. The device prevents runaway horses from being freed from their harnesses, stemming from his experiments following the death of the Countess of Lathom. The shaft was exhibited at a club show opened by the Duke and Duchess of Connaught.
Fragmentary text discusses a rural life scene with a big hollow tree and children sleeping in the open. It shifts to William Whiston, translator of Josephus, noting lectures, a controversial 1608 work on Apostolical Constitutions, a rejected licence, professorship loss, and an annuity from Queen Caroline after the king’s death. The passage blends folklore and biographical details without coherent structure.
A fragmented humor piece presents quirky exchanges about milk and subtly cruel horse training. It includes a philosopher milkman refuting a pump origin claim, a plea for mercy toward a horse trainer, and a butcher’s son’s candid take on fractions in a meat lesson.
The fragment describes artillery train terms and equipment and mentions pontoon boats, enfilade fire, and maintenance costs. It notes a British commander income, a private pay topic, and a goose of unrelated cultural and linguistic observations. It also references German theatres and opera houses and reading prevalence in Denmark.
A miscellany blends health advice on colds, air exposure, and winter clothing with notes on armor materials and photography. It discusses how ventilation and lighter, warm garments help prevent colds, the shift from hard to ductile metals in armor, and explains solar corona, wool production, Belgian wool wages, and photographic reversal concepts in concise Q&A style.
