A nostalgic scene of warm hearth life and family bonds contrasts with war memories. Elsie and Uncle Bill anchor a tale of stubbornness, faith, and tender prayers by a farm home, while later pieces note fashion trends of velvet collars and stocks as a social pastime.
A wartime reminiscence recalls Elder Preswick and Bill standing together on a hill side by side on the church roll. The group grows to forty seven as veterans return from war. A Boston preacher in Preswick’s pulpit jars with the old gospel, and Bill swears there is no God after Henry Foster’s Petersburg death.
A national wave of arsenic cosmetics draws women to white arsenic complexion wafers sold in major cities. Prolonged use bleaches skin but wrecks health, causing languor, nervous turmoil, and eventual ugliness. Authorities push laws to restrict sales and require prescriptions to curb abuses linked to murders and illness.
A ninth century Latin Psalms manuscript discovered in Essen at Munsterkirche archives may be the oldest Latin Psalms text. It spans three Latin columns with a Greek text transliterated in Latin characters in a fourth column, likely produced by schools established by Charlemagne.
A despondent farmer from Martin County Indiana shares a tale of bad luck and missed fortune. He drilled two hundred feet in solid rock hoping for water, learned the drill struck a petrified tree, and laments that a two foot shift would have yielded water at seventy five feet and saved money. The anecdote contrasts perseverance with misfortune in rural life.
Dr. Judson Deland demonstrated his Haematocrit instrument at a Philadelphia College of Pharmacy meeting. The device uses a capillary tube on a small machine to spin at 10,000 revolutions per minute, powered by hand at seventy seven turns per minute, separating blood components by specific gravity to assess denaturation. A single drop suffices for this test.
