A San Francisco boy near nine displays extraordinary long sightedness, describing the moon and its surface while scientists call it presbyopia. The piece shifts to Texas water woes and a London memory, then a dramatic tale of a deaf alphabet learning in marriage with a burglar thwarted by a couple's quick wits.
The Appeal lists publication terms for notices and ads with rates by size and frequency. It notes payment requirements, renewal rules, penalties for unpaid ads, and charges for political announcements, transient ads, and corporate material, plus submission instructions to the proprietor.
A reflective verse by Ellen M. Gates on the familiar evening prayer Now I lay me down to sleep. The poem traces childhood faith, growing awareness, and the closing day as years pass. It ends with a quiet contemplation of mortality and memory.
A retrospective on the Vatican detailing its 1,200 by 1,000 foot footprint on Rome’s hills, origins in the sixth century, restorations by Eugenius and Innocent II, and its evolution into a vast depository. It notes the papal move to Avignon, the 1876 return, and the Vatican’s vast library of 40,000 manuscripts along with extensive statuary, paintings, and antiquities.
A private burial ground discovery near Hyde Park reveals a woman's remains largely petrified from pelvis to feet while skull to pelvis stay bone dry. Physicians are asked to explain why only part of the body turned to stone, the rest remaining intact.
A weary Southbound train at Dennison draws a sobering scene as a beautiful orphaned Kentucky girl waits in disordered finery, grieving and singing. Her guardian narrates a tragic courtship, its breakup leaving her mind haunted by an engaged lover she believes will return.
A miscellany of quips and anecdotes on thrift pride and social conduct. Bits include advice on modesty about charity, warned behavior toward teachers and pastors, and a string of humorous tales about foot binding in China, Pocahontas misreadings, and a Massachusetts beggar.
