The Tallow Candles of Our Fathers Remembered
A Detroit Free Press reminiscence recalls the old household candle era before petroleum and gas when tallow and sperm candles were family crafts. It recalls candle making, molds, wicks, beeswax tests, snuffers on silver trays, and the art of lighting and extinguishing without waste, bringing back warm, shadowy evenings and practical lessons from the kitchen to the parlor.

Lincoln Collar Piece Linked to Ford's Theatre Night
A city resident, Mr George Van Duzer, presented a fragment of Abraham Lincoln's collar to the Grand Lodge library. He recalls being at Ford's Theatre on the night of April 14, 1865, when the mock draft scene and a joke about a shawl caused laughter before the assassination.

Nomadic Athabaskans and Swiss Socialism in Brief
Athabaskan Indians of the Yukon and Alaska are described as a distinct North American branch, likely nomadic and wary in war, with little intermixture with Eskimos, Aleuts, or whites. Swiss communes in Villeneuve practice practical socialism, with common forest and pasture rights, strict forest protection, fire insurance, compulsory education, and strong military presence. Venice glass cups in the sixteenth century mark a shift toward refinement in society.
