A poetic piece from Harper's Bazaar laments rulers who cling to power from infancy. It contrasts a baby's innocent reign with world leaders and war, urging gentle, nurturing care for the next generation. The text blends affectionate parental imagery with political reflection.
In Harper's Weekly style, Robinson's zeal to nurse others leads to a wrecked marriage. He helps friends too much and intrudes in Annie's life, prompting conflict with his mother in law. A misreading of intentions ends with marriage strain, a lost dress, and hard lessons about boundaries.
A survey of Cracow salt mines as underground cities with thousands of workers and horses. The piece notes Chinese tobacco exports, Turkish tobacco use, and 8 million pounds shipped from Hankow yearly. Also recounted are anecdotes about a Dorsetshire heir, a Catskill hotel saga, a deadly Durango scorpion, and chaotic U S port inspections of Chinese arrivals.
A crowded scene unfolds at the Pacific Mail wharf as the City of Tokio discharges 1040 Chinese steerage passengers after quarantine. Chinamen are guided into a fenced pen, with rope barriers and guards, while officers chalk and inspect baggage and tickets. The process trains spectators and workers, with chaotic bottlenecks and dramatic surges as passengers press toward the gang plank.
The London Lancet surveys cases of swallowed or embedded pins and needles in women and girls dating from 1840s to late 1800s. Stories from Hildanus, Stephenson, Villars, Otto, and Bigger recount long intervals with many needles emerging head first, often without inflammation, and sometimes suggesting skin insertion rather than swallowing. Magnetic detection is proposed but has long earlier precedent.
