French swaddling through the ages in infant attire
The article surveys changing infant clothing practices from France including rigid swaddling in the provinces, looser Paris styles, and the shift toward English and American fashions. It contrasts old methods with Rousseau influenced simplicity, notes Catholic white consecration, and ends with a travel anecdote about a Niagara river ferry mishap and a joke about drownings.

Otter predator studies stun fish and land prey claims
An extended wildlife note argues otters seize prey on land as well as water. An eyewitness details the rabbit incident by the Mole, the otter dragging it into the river and eating it, with the animal watching a terrier from the stream. Additional reports recount a pike hunt and a Lake Superior sail memory.
