Tea in America and the decline of fine tea
A Chicago Herald reprint laments the decline of true tea flavor in America. It contrasts storied, fragrant brews with modern weak, adulterated cups found in restaurants and homes. The piece notes sea voyages ruin tea, caravan varieties arrive via Russia, and prices soar while quality drops.

Boy opposes medical science and survives despite decree
An old tale from Arkansas Traveller recounts Dr Ike declaring Ned's son cannot live five hours after discussing the boy's illness. Ned hurls skepticism as the boy resumes work at wood chopping, prompting the doctor to admit a mistake while noting confidence in medical science. In brief notes, Steward William Crump opens a restaurant near the Treasury Building in Washington, and a Nash County NC boy with rare vision sees over seven foot beans.
