The passage blends Whittier verse about trust in God with a vivid scene where a kitchen incident escalates to a comic yet frightening hoax. Animals, a demon, and a robber terrorize a house, but the tale ends with the robbers fleeing and the family never returning. The children drift away, two lingering with tales of Greeley and the Rocky Mountains.
A wandering editor visits Mr Goodmans large suburban home of seven well behaved children. The family meals, orderly conduct, grand parlor, and a Grimm tale they hear inspire the children's animal chorus imitating stages of the story. The father reads and the children imitate birds and beasts in playful harmony.
A raw memoir from a purported poor man wandering Denver at night exposes alcohol pressure, cold streets, and fear of police while recounting a harsh, aimless urban experience. The piece then shifts to reflections on teeth, diets, and a Scots dying man’s church vision, contrasting comfort and struggle in life’s end with noble endurance.
A vivid portrait of a Nantucket born fish seller at Fulton Market. The steady, disciplined woman controls her stall and its crabs with firm kindness and honesty. The piece follows a chance meeting leading to a tour to a ship laden with tropical fruits and centers on Merlin Dey, a blind fisherwoman aboard a floating home with her young family.
The article surveys ancient practices in swaddling, cradle forms, and child adornment. It contrasts wealthy and poor families with costly fabrics and bands to denote status, notes cradle types like boats and shields, and recalls Josephus on Moses’ cradle among Nile reeds. It describes head shaving, ear jewels for girls, and amulets or name discs to identify children, with poorer families using leather thongs for tagging.
A Morning Star letter warns a boy away from taverns as a ruinous path. The writer imagines Lian becoming a drink seller, swearing, stealing, and falling under bad influences. He urges honest work and cautions that “good places” can lead to the world of woe, with many doors besides bars.
The Denver News declares a crackdown on the Corn Exchange proprietor and his notorious gambling and vice den. The paper insists the only solution is to shut the establishment, remove criminals, and prevent robberies from being hidden behind a facade of surveillance.
S Rufus Mason reports in Poultry World that charcoal from burnt corn cobs fed to fowls improves health and egg production. The charcoal preserves grain shape, making it more enticing than ground charcoal, and results in brighter combs and higher egg averages in the flock.
A peculiar vegetable phenomenon found in Arabia is the laughing plant. Pulverized seeds eaten in small amounts cause hours of laughter singing and dancing before sleep and amnesia.
