A reflective poem describes a father's cottage attic as a storehouse of ancestral relics. The speaker recalls a sword, epaulet, trunk, faded corn, a shoe, and toys, all fading yet cherished. Through shadows the attic becomes a living memory where broken treasures and old faces linger, inviting reverie.
In a lonely rural cottage Will and Mary Haynes find a baby abandoned on the line. Mary bonds with the child, named Pressie, while Will constructs a gate to keep her from the tracks. A transformed life dawns as they plan a future around their unexpected ward.
William Gage Erving recounts a journey by Adirondack canoe down the Nile in The Century. He recalls a peculiar reliance on aodp that vanished from Berber after a week, and describes Sudan river-men who bathe and wash in mud-choked water, using a rock as a scrubbing board to clean clothes.
A discussion of foreign olives entering the American market contrasts the French green olive with the black ripe olive from Italian and Greek sources. It notes rising imports, California production, and consumer curiosity as palates adapt, with tasting quirks and market contrasts described.
An anecdote recalls Sir Charles Gavan Duffy aiding Australian friends including Sir Henry Parkes by introductions to Carlyle. Parkes and Dally lectured in England about immigration forty years ago. A Chelsea visit featured Carlyle’s rough humor as he grilled Parkes about life and steamship sentiments, following Parkes sending his introduction.
A Singapore visitor Indie Itam and his wife ran a scheme selling a “secret” to convert earth into dollars. Patrons paid 25 for the secret and 15 for the earth, burying material for 33 days to allegedly yield cash. Sixteen Sarawakians lost about 40 each before authorities intervened. London Truth notes Verestchagin sold a Napoleonic collection to the Imperial government for 100000 rubles.
A fragment from Youth's Companion and related pieces describe a child’s desire for a costly doll, a magical crystal flute made from bottles, and a humorous anecdote about learning the twenty six U.S. mountains through an alphabet method. It also includes a general Scott anecdote about authority and a magic handkerchief trick with wax and a coin. The items present a mix of childhood imagination and light entertainment.
The Delineator outlines a peculiar joyful idea as a homemade crystal flute passes along a row of bottles. The instruction urges placing the flute on the lower lip and blowing into each bottle to produce a chorus for a jubilee.
