A long, unruly montage of quotes, poems, and odd anecdotes shifts between grim humor and dark reflection. Amid scattered bits on hellish visions, blue glass, Darwinian quirks, famine, and a boy’s tall tales, the piece sketches a restless, layered patchwork of culture, fear, and everyday rumor.
A long excerpted piece blends color symbolism in dress with dramatic notes on optical science. It discusses how hues reflect mood, then recounts historical and modern views of eye physiology, retina color changes after death, and pioneering tests by Kuhne and colleagues on vision and retinal epithelium. The article surveys experiments with monochromatic light, preservation of purple retinal color, and even an animal exposure experiment that photographed a window shutter image in a rabbit’s eye.
A San Antonio visitor from a Galveston railroad town stays at a city hotel with no bill presented. He cannot pay, but the landlord keeps him and profits as diners arrive to watch him eat. The landlord reveals a $2,000 bet on the guest choking, and kicks him into the street.
Papers found on a thief arrested in New York last week include a quip that vice is laziness and crime stems from seeking easier gains than honest labor, suggesting the chief cause of wrongdoing is the urge to obtain wealth by unlawful means.
A collage of quirky vignettes from etiquette, jokes, and social notes. It covers church festival oysters, insurance woes, millennial talk among clergy, a Burlington hunting dog fitted with sheet iron, a London note on Ward Brayham, a legal right of way issue, and old wedding favors trends with bridesmaids’ gifts and garlands.
A sick man dies after a purported devil appears to his family. A parish sexton masked as Satan led to terror as shots were fired and four priests questioned. The tale, reported by the Pall Mall Gazette, recalls sensational strands of Midshipman Easy. An ad touts Dr McLean’s Strengthening Cordial and Blood Purifier.
