English visitors recount a West African ritual at Bandi where a cheap bottle of soda water used by a fetish priest as the “Lung Juju” causes the crowd to scatter. The cork popping imitates divine power, leaving chiefs, women, and children impressed by the “white man’s god in a bottle” during the expedition.
The Hal des Quarts Arts ball in Paris featured wildly creative medieval costumes from numerous studios. Elaborate cardboard cars paraded past judges, with dramatic tableaux including a Fatustua laboratory, skeletons dancing, and a giant wax candy–strewn apparition. Winners included the Black Macs with a giant ghost float and a silver dish prize scene. The event closed near 7 AM with a staged procession to the Eorle des Beaut-Acts where a cardboard figure was burned.

Fragmentary OCR text discusses milk heating and thickening for a dairy process. It mentions a Gupeoata of flow and smooth paste with cold milk and references an apple element not considered consistent with the description. The readable facts are sparse and unclear.
The text notes apples aid digestion and should be eaten after meals. It then provides a historical recipe for hot cross buns: ingredients include butter, flour, yeast, milk, sugar, currants, grated rind, mace, and a buttered finish. The method covers mixing, rising, shaping into buns, crossing with a knife, brushing with clarified butter, and baking twenty minutes.
The recipe instructs picking the crab meat including large claws and mincing it. Mix with cayenne salt and curry powder in cold gravy or cream, add vinegar and breadcrumbs, fill a dish, top with batter and crumbs, and brown until cooked.
While riding an omnibus four years ago a bishop confronted a driver over whipping the horses. The driver retorted with threats and curses but later apologized, and the bishop chased away down the road as the busman pleaded for pardon.
