A gateway design described by Popular Mechanic Magazine features pisin lumber in standard dimensions. Uprights measure 4 by 4 inches, lower cross pieces and fence rails 2 by 4, and 2 by 2 inches for upper components and vine-support strips. Arch formed with bumawood bent after soaking.
A low cost ornamental gateway is erected at the entrance to an undeveloped park at Trifling Coat with white paint and brown fence spindles. It aims to improve access to a farm or private residence and will stand until a more substantial development proceeds.
Wilson Flagg argues for stone walls as superior rustic boundaries over trimmed hedges or standard fences. He praises loose stone construction for harmonizing with nature, ease of overleaping, and freedom for travelers and landowners, contrasting it with deformity of prospect from fences.
The citizen is urged to build his own home if possible for personal fit and long term value. Building for self and family yields a home tailored to needs, with costs seeming high but judged as sound and satisfactory investments when done carefully.
The article promotes roadside fruit trees as a symbol of neighborly cooperation and an artful public good. It notes adoption across Europe and calls for communities to plant and care for trees, arguing benefits for aesthetics and shared utility.
Fragmentary text notes a big production shift in fate and oil outputs from 1912 to 1917, stating futa output rose toward 40 percent of vegetable output and that fate and oil quantities nearly equal by 1917. The passage ends with a dated quote about wisdom from Richard Cooke.
The article touts baby rompers with decorative trim and varied materials from dimity to waxcloth. It describes simocking, contrasting colors, front neck fullness, and sleeve gathers, highlighting kimono and bloomered styles with lace edging and blue accents.
The piece notes mushroom hats with bandeaux and bright ribbon belts for white outfits, black satin ribbon on gowns, and ironical fashion freedom. Kid hatpins with flower heads are a Paris novelty, crepe de chine remains favored, and overall advice stresses individuality and timeless elegance in sartorial choices.
A fragment describes pongee parasols with summer flair. Parazola pieces feature brown frames, brown cords, and tassels on handles. Some parasols showcase blue butterfly embroidery inside, with matching blue cords and tassels for a vivid contrasting trim.
A reflection on making a daily store of good thoughts from reading to guide and comfort life. It argues that, beyond sacred texts, other writings offer lasting wisdom, as in great poets and observed life. It cites Sir Arthur Helps noting Sancho Panza’s proverbs sharpen judgment and delight in life.
A reader notes there are no circulations for five types of one dollar notes and many varieties across denominations from one to five hundred dollars. The piece highlights differences in bills and how engraving artistry appears in everyday currency.
The poppy originated in the Nile valley and spread to Persia and Thebes where its merits were debated. Homer notes poppy gifts to Helen, Hipparates warns its danger, and morphine was first made by Seguin in 1808 with Berhuemer naming it. Dr John Leigh later warned of habit forming dangers in a Harveian prize essay dedicating it to George Washington.
A London Chronicle correspondent notes wrist watches behave oddly in peacetime. Some timepieces work poorly on some wrists yet regain accuracy when transferred to another soldier, while the same watch may gain time on one man’s wrist and lose on another.
