The Freeland Tribune lists subscription notes and payment reminders urging readers to check date labels like Grover Cleveland 2A for paid status. It also shares aphorisms and a note about Const Surra in Mayence reporting Germans salting away about 600 million dollars yearly into securities, earning an estimated $111 million in income.
A mixed set of notes cites Tasmanian apples in Wortland at two per box, a baker band in Vienna using soapsuds to lighten bread, and a Perth area claim about Lincoln’s 1860s rescue. It also mentions Irish and immigrant data, noting large Dutch and German arrivals, and lists various national sentiments about migration and loyalty.
A Milwaukee daily note decries soil exhaustion and forecasts a ten year end to wheat exports. It argues immigration limits, cites fertile plains, and favors profitable crops. New Zealand reports weasels fail to curb pests, with rabbits and rats sharing nests, a serious poultry threat.
A descriptive essay contrasts Western briskness with Eastern indolence attributing it to climate and culture. It details Turks sitting cross legged in shops, bargaining rituals, fatalism, and time defiance, with examples from bazaar life and a farmer squatting to till soil, illustrating universal sedentary habits.
Malcolm Sutherland of Dumbarton has designed an electric floor planer resembling a lawn mower. The device features a base plate with steel frame, a top motor driving a cutter at 3000 RPM, and adjustable depth via a movable rear roller. Intended mainly for planing ships decks to remove pitch and smooth uneven surfaces.
The excerpt notes the difficulty of laying and calking deck planks and describes how planing is often done by hand in rough conditions. It points out that machinery can achieve equally good results, suggesting that such planning is not limited to shipyards.
A curious device appears at a military event as Tommie Atkins rides a cycle topped with a typewriter to relay messages from signalers. A trained war dog carries dispatches to the rear, illustrating a staged rather than real warfare use.
A collage of jokes and captions from a 19th or early 20th century humor page. It includes parodies of a martial tale with Li Hong and Wan Tae, cartoon dialogue about truth and malaria ostracism, womanly precaution gags, reading matter for the sick, and quick quips about dining, suffrage, rifles, and daily life. The snippets feature named exchanges and humorous asides from newspapers like Puck Life and Philadelphia Life, reflecting era humor and social norms.
A humorous collage of brief jokes and quips from various newspapers. Characters include a fatigued William and a judge spelling out a satire on labor, strikes, and public life, with sharp one liners about coffee, donkeys, and a clumsy beefsteak verdict. Names and places are playful, not positional.
A Flemish artist reportedly executed the smallest painting ever on the smooth side of a corn chain. The scene shows a mill and a miller ascending stairs with a grain sack, a terrace mill, a horse and cart, and peasants in the road, all rendered with microscopic fidelity, yet measuring under a half inch in total surface.
Peat or turf from bogs fuels Europe largely. It can be dried, molded like bricks, or formed into compact balls. One hundred pounds of peat yield heat comparable to fifty pounds of hard coal or about one hundred weight of wood or soft coal per American Agriculturist.
A Victorian essay surveys strange fish behaviors from the Dutch East Indies to Ceylon. It recounts climbing fish on palm stems, mangrove tributaries, and rain-formed crawls, noting natives and explorers observed musical cues from fish sounds and absurdly deep burials, with various locales and observers cited.
