Nervous mimicry outbreaks across history and a Wilkesbarre case

A Wilkesbarre silk mill incident shows eighteen young workers seized by hysteric convulsions after a single fitting episode. The piece traces neuromimesis through medieval outbreaks, dancing manias, flagellants, and later convulsions, noting the role of education and diet in reducing such epidemics while acknowledging ongoing outbreaks. It also touches on Volapuk, language learning, French baptism customs, digestion after worry, and a pencil-saving tip.

Primitive Berlin Eatery Makes One-Course Dinner Trend

A Berlin dining house serves one course for five pfennigs, a log-lined table with eighteen cavities each holding soup and an iron spoon. The waiter acts as cashier and bouncer, serving from canned soups and expelling guests promptly. The piece notes the stark simplicity and peculiar dining ritual. Another scene at a picture dealer’s mocks art market values as money drives the craft, with a Magdalen painting misidentified and a blunt remark on naming.

Explosive Nitro Glycerine and Jaeger Fabric Theory

The article explains nitro glycerine’s sensitivity to shock and the chemical change that makes it explosive, noting a Panama incident causing a million dollars in damage and lives lost. It also covers Dr St C Rutherford endorsing the Jaeger system, praising woolen fabrics for absorbing body excretions and staying clean, while linen or cotton odors require airing.

The Nervous Age and Its Effects on Modern Life

The article argues that modern civilization intensifies nervous strain in the Occidental masses. It notes widespread restlessness, constant activity, and heightened tension from steam and electricity. It details behavioral signs like fidgeting, restless eyes, and hurried routines, attributing sleep disruption to overwork rather than physical disease.

The Turtle and Her Nest Anecdotes

The piece notes that a turtle nest resists eggs being replaced once removed with no way to restore all eggs. It contrasts the turtle’s ability to pack eggs snugly with a human inability to compress them. It also mentions a Russian tea saloon with waiters in white and tea culture. Further, Pat Ford cites Cleveland’s British friends among Irish rights supporters. It praises Gladstone and Morley among others aiding Erin’s cause.
