Walter Woop describes life aboard a destroyer, from the cramped stokehold to the conning tower, detailing engines, speed, and the captain’s bold, risky hunt for a battleship. The piece portrays the ship as a swift, merciless instrument and the crew as young, fearless, and constantly tested by motion and danger.
England faces a cotton crisis as Lancashire industries suffer from last year’s poor crop and high prices. The piece notes Manchester and Liverpool trade, calls for imperial cotton growing, and credits workers and masters for short-time adaptations to prevent disaster. It highlights a shift toward Africa and Soudan resources, the Brooklands agreement, and hopes for full revival with the new crop in October.
An illustrated account describes Lhassa the Forbidden City and Potala palace, Norbu Ling and Jo-vo Khang, the Circular Road encircling the city, and key sites such as the regent’s residence and the amban. It notes a British force encamped near Norbu Ling and outlines major temples and landmarks observed by explorers in 19th century Tibet.
Dr. Frank J. Toussaint discusses Mexican mining labor unrest during a Huepac So nora visit, noting a brief protest led by agitators, government arrest orders in Mexico City, and deportations. He explains how easy it is to claim mining land in Mexico with a $32.50 declaration, $100 survey, and annual $10 tax to hold ownership.
A Tarboro North Carolina man named N. P. Bullock recounts a wild turkey incident near Doehead by the old race track. He describes being nearby when the event occurred and hints at accompanying turkey lore alongside fish stories.
Book Lovers' Magazine notes the Norman distrust of outsiders as a comic fear of financial duping. Trampers face awkward timing at farmhouses after questions or small purchases, while a drink at cider houses grants longer table time and freer conversation in Normandy.
Chaster Will Webb of the Missouri Savings Bank reports 1,664 school children hold bank accounts with deposits averaging just over $10 each. The total balance at Saturday close was $16,864. Webb notes per capita amounts are down slightly from several months ago as he comments on the trends among young savers.
The account recalls Mr. Bullock creeping through bushes to surprise two fighting gobblers. One turkey was crushed under his foot after a struggle, the other subdued by similar means amid wing and claw resistance. The beards measured nearly three inches.
The Boston Transcript notes the rambler rose's rise from a crimson popular porch favorite to a broader range of ramblers in every color. It laments that breeders now craft clusters that resemble rose bushes, with each bloom nearly as large and perfect as those on full bushes. It contrasts plain citizens' satisfaction with ambitious gardeners' drive for finer varieties. A Swiss watch adds a tiny phonograph plate to chime hours loudly, allowing sentiment to be recorded in tones of loved ones.
Ernest Harold Baynes recounts raising a white tailed fawn found with a broken hind leg. He details its kindness, bottle feeding, and gradual recovery. The fawn's glossy reddish brown coat with white spots mingles with daisy fields, creating natural camouflage. The animal learns to leap barriers and chase after food, displaying affectionate behavior and curiosity. A photograph captures the field illusion and the fawn’s striking features.
