Poem excerpt reflects a mother’s grief for her child. The speaker sits in a dim house as ghosts pass outside beneath bare trees. She longs to join the departed in death, wishing to be a ghost with him and return to God. The verse notes a year with God and the girl’s mourning.
A Trinidad hunter in the Orouche district recounts trapping a jet black colubrine snake with four rows of upper teeth. The snake later cannibalistically consumed a five foot tiger snake from the same bag, killing it before the narrator could intervene. The bizarre encounter occurred near a cacao estate clearing near a palm leaf roofed ajoupa.
A New York Sun item recounts a trio year old Ethel showing strong musical taste while her mother cannot carry a tune. The mother tries to coax her to bed with a promise to undress and sing, but the child declines preferring nurse to sing.
A wide survey traces pins from ancient thorn and bronze forms through medieval brass imports to modern Birmingham production. It notes early handcraft, 11 steps to finish, then rapid machinery output, and a 1840 solid headed pin. US industry grows from Carolinas to Connecticut with Detroit and Cincinnati factories. Also touches charity givings and a Chicago newspaper anecdote, plus a German study on telephone wires reducing lightning strikes.
A shopper and a polite floorwalker debate mistaken addresses in mail orders. They blame carelessness and psychology, noting one in fifty to one in a hundred addresses are wrong after verification, with the floorwalker asserting customers cause most errors. The exchange ends with a vague retreat and a promise to send items to the correct address.
Mr. W L C Beard recalls a pet eagle named Moses in Arizona. The bird alarmed no one with dawn cries and breakfast time, outgrowing a brown gray feather suit, preening often, and losing flight after an accident. Beard notes Moses trusted humans, showing unusually fearless behavior.
The readable lines show a quarrel remark about insults between Miss Teaspot and Mr Gilley and Miss Gaskett, followed by stray advice on foot cushions and relaxation.
