Molasses Tasting as a Profession in Early Times
The Boston Journal describes a molasses taster's demanding role requiring abstinence from swallowing to keep a neutral palate. A Bosier man notes the strain and high failure rate, with careful cleansing of the tongue and avoidance of tobacco and sweet foods. Tasting twenty to thirty grades daily demands concentration and solitary, brain-work like heavy research.

Sea Weed Rescues Spice-Laden Clipper Avahunc at Cape Currents
The Avahunc, a spices laden East Indian clipper 118 days from Ceylon, was sighted leaking off the Delaware capes. The tug Hercules towed her to New York after drift seaweed halted the leak, saving a cargo valued near 1 million dollars and the ship from foundering. A Newfie dog named Pete saved four Belmont youths from drowning when a mill creek boat drifted toward the dam. Pete swam out, grabbed a boy, and towed the boat to shore.
