PITH AND POINT Jokes and jabs on idle Hands and heads
A late 19th century miscellany compiles quips and anecdotes about idle hands and self important pretenders. It satirizes a Winthrop Maine pianist, a boastful dandy, a Shoshone murder, a Boston Post prophecy on depravity, a 7 million pores medical note, and a railroad tunnel gag reflected by a proud parent.
Various Innovations and Industrial Notes in Early Modern Era
In Pittsburgh a plate-digger prototype promises to replace twenty workers. The Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Co expands to a 2 million capital and 30 million cans produced last year. West Virginia coal reserves seem ample for two centuries of North American demand. Sewers should vent above rooftops to disperse gases. Veneer manufacturing favors steaming and shaving over sawing. New York Sixth Avenue car stopping via window straps triggers a bell and whistle. A tin boat made of a single pearl, with gold sail, ruby prow light, emerald rudder, costs 5000 dollars. Salamanca opens a 60000 dollar embroidery factory with tax exemptions and state-private funding. Petroleum-burning apparatuses are highlighted for steam boiler use, unique in the world. Tea-planting is profitable in Mississippi, with two plants yielding enough leaves for a family year, using local processing methods.
