A poem describing a lustrous pearl found by a daring diver. The speaker muses on its origin from an eastern isle and how its orient grace lends a pale glow to the lady’s face. The piece blends sea imagery with exotic suggests of distant lands.
In a Southern county a revival led by a fiery exhorter collides with superstition and a hardened crowd. Nick Pea, resisting heaven, tricks a neighbor into lending a South American monkey, causing a chaotic sermon moment before Nick becomes the new revival leader.
A humorous look at pupil errors from Austria and France. An Austrian pupil misnames coalition wars as the first through the fourth, a ship description ends with a camel of the sea, and a marmot joke notes truck dead. A French boy defines marsupials as pouch bearing animals and adds they use pouches to hide when pursued. The piece closes with advice to keep children happy by keeping them on ice.
A humorous account recalls Captain Wiltse of the US steamer Boston resisting a boy with a Kodak who photographed him on the beach for an American newspaper. The captain ends up agreeing to publish a photo in his paper, confirming a new era of readily available images. The piece then notes European misreadings about US affairs, including erroneous war and Confederate references, and closes with moral quips about mean men and women in love.
A San Francisco Examiner writer argues we are in a golden age of transport speed.
