Prof Cunningham notes right handedness is ancient and biologically rooted. Studies by Leichmann-Nitsche on prehistoric bones show the right limb is heavier. Left brain controls right side, yet violin fingering is done with the left hand, posing questions about brain handedness and skill.
A coastal dig near Feodosia in Crimea uncovered about a thousand ancient Greek copper coins inscribed with HAH and bearing a Pan head. The coins, well preserved and featuring a quiver, date to the Greek settlement at Theodosia and Theoclean era, linked to Panthaeum and Milesian origins.
C William Beebe notes animals show strong home sense in roosts and bedrooms. Birds sleep in homes from tree crevices to cages, with sparrows roosting alone then in crowds. Fish in Fundy bays, butterflies, and deer exhibit distinct resting spots and dreams or nightmares.
The piece contrasts Cipriano Castro and rival General Manuel Antonio Matos. It notes Castro’s 1901 constitutional election and long tenure, European meddling in Venezuela’s finances, and Matos’s European ties and pledged finances if he wins. It cites a German paper’s harsh view and describes regional support and ongoing debt questions.
Professor R. B. Woodward of Allegheny Observatory concludes that Earth's day length changes negligible in the first ten million years of cooling. He finds cooling would shorten the day by about six percent, or an hour and a half per year, only over immense timescales. Meteoric dust adds a counteracting, slower effect.
A collection of aphorisms on beauty, burden sharing, learning, truth, presence, and growth. It cites worry and anxiety, contrasting calm resolve with restless thoughts, and ends with anecdotal tales of wooing from an English judge and Prince Bismarck, illustrating bold approaches to gaining consent despite social barriers.
A San Francisco Call report recounts horrors of a kiss causing mass death and arson. In Curara Cuba a kiss sparked a knife fight, massacres, and the town’s ruin within hours. In Eden Queensland a stranger’s kiss unleashed a deadly epidemic that emptied the town, while a Candalo Florida tale links a sailor’s kiss to a yellow fever outbreak killing hundreds.
John Kelman cites a Holy Land anecdote about a thief who entered a house and took nothing. He merely claimed the house before the judge, challenging the owner to name every stair step and window pane. The owner failed, exposing the thief’s point.

In a letter to The Peruna Medicine Co Columbus Ohio the pastor says Peruna cured his long hemorrhages, strengthened him and improved health.

A Syracuse Herald piece describes moujiks in Russia parading sacred images and banners from churches to prayer booths during distress or crop danger. A priest leads prayers as villages kneel and holy water sprinkles fields, rivers, or burial grounds before returning the procession.
