A St. Louis Republic writer extols the peccary as the boldest creature, noting its scent for humans, speed, endurance, and viciousness. An American traveler describes a harrowing escape from a drove in Mexico, where the hogs hunted him from a tree, then ate their own fallen kin. Also included is a brief Atlantic weather note from London by Carlyle Cor.
An Ohio woman touring Boston recalls a thrill at Copp's Hill burying ground. She nearly steps on a grave with a front-cover inscription bearing only three initials. Her companion jokes that B W W stands for Boston Water Works, highlighting the odd, short inscription in a historical site.
The London Tit-Bits notes four hourglasses in the British and Foreign Sailors' church on Ratcliff highway, preserved in a brass framework. They stand as relics once used to gauge sermons, with the church being the only one to retain such a set.
A New Orleans Times-Democrat joke describes a bellboy who, during a late call on a dark floor, greets a blind mug who asks him to mail a letter. The lamp-less room, a startled reaction, and the mug revealing he was blind the next day provide the humorous punchline.
A New York Times piece compares foal and calf traits to infer wild ancestors. It notes foals gallop early, feed in small amounts, and stand with heads high, signaling open, traveled origins. Calves seek concealment and feed on milk, suggesting moist, wooded cattle ancestors and plains-roaming horses.

A collage of curious anecdotes and snippets from historical writing. It includes a veteran remark on catching and riding sleeping turtles, a literary exchange about earthly happiness linked to weather, a widow’s skull treasure box in the Andaman Islands, a note on French ship traffic via the Juez canal, and a fact about rice paper made from rice straw.
