A compilation notes imperial aims for colonial museums and railway compensation for passenger injuries in Britain. It cites New York City spending on schools and police, shifts in Irish population and languages, and cultural trends in London. It also discusses astronomy discoveries on Mars, statistics on crime, aging criminals, and reform trends.
In a Midwest farm setting, Hester Barnard returns from city life to face family pressure to marry Nat Parkins. Her longing for Herbert Strong complicates loyalties as a sick stranger brings renewed hope, and Joshua and Jane Barnard navigate pride, duty, and reconciliation after upheaval.
The article surveys cobras and venom, venomous bites and milk cravings, snake charmers tricks, and the mungoose as a foe. It recounts a British lieutenant saving a commander with milk in a tent, notes no antidote to awake poison, and mentions snake dances of the Zuni in Arizona and India’s cobra legends.
The Bugle Horn article notes the horn's name deriving from the bugle or extinct auroch. In the Isle of Wight the bull's head on Snosigna appears with bugle. It mentions beagler as the French term for sowing cattle and observes nails on amputated fingers continuing to grow.
A fashion column discusses methods to curl the waist by adding under bits of plastic and lifting skirts, then describes the new wave hairstyle with hair over the temples. It praises heliotrope tones for older women and outlines two permissible hat trims of roses and Alsatian bows, plus Irish-born beauty notes and blue-eyed compliments.
A collage of social tropes and fashion notes. It discusses women crying and the accuracy of sentiment, hints at piano tuning careers for women, and surveys trends in New York fashion, including jewelry, fabrics, and accessories. It notes leap year explanations and a stray line on U.S. money orders.
A miscellany of home tricks and kitchen guidance including purifying water with sand and charcoal filtration, restoring silk with coffee, making rag carpets, and several ham based dishes. Also lists minute biscuits and carrot preparations with simple steps and tips.
The pineapple is praised for high value in countries with pricey fruit and is claimed to have medicinal properties. Pineapple juice is said to aid throat diseases and digestion, offering relief and addressing indigestion at the root, suggesting it as a permanent remedy for dyspepsia.
Scattered notes cover aluminum boats, a 4000-ton forging press in Germany, banana versus potato power, volcanic scoria roads, plans for observing the 1893 solar eclipse, a huge rudder for a British torpedo boat, explosive chemistry in water, durable glass lenses, Willets Point magnets, and bronchial health of women teachers. Also listed are atmospheric vapor cycles, shadowless sundials in Africa and parts of Asia, a poisonous condensate from humid air, and insect sound without wings. A long entry on a horsefly farm near Green Lane Pennsylvania notes profits from selling frog legs and a 20-acre swamp farm turned profitable despite initial skepticism.
Frank G. Carpenter notes an immense hand made shawl from Orenburg Russia. The ring dhowle style lace shows fine Russian peasant work and velvet robes are famed across Europe. Some shawls sell for three dollars a yard.
