A wounded porter recalls a fatal fog bound train near Dawlish. Bill the driver faced danger when his wife rushed back to warn and shield them, saving the mail train and inspiring faith in a devoted wife.
A writer in Temple Bar argues that an Armstrong shell could reach 9176 yards and that Gibraltar’s fortress, with its rock galleries and artillery, would remain largely safe even under bombardment. Experiments at Shoeburyness and improvised trials suggest limited damage from shells, while bomb proof barracks and hospitals could mitigate wartime horrors.
Mr Seth Green an authority on roars of fishes kept a pond with many trout caught by fly and barbless hook. He ordered the men to move quietly to let the trout study the tackle and never forget their experiences as he walked by the pond feeding them while carrying a cane and rod. The trout followed bread then hid when the rod appeared.

Neckwear questions dominate fashion pages as florals like sweet pea boas and buttercup accents complement black gowns. Lining fabrics for dress sleeves pursue flexible, resistant options favoring mohair and pristine tulle to preserve natural grace.
The New York Ledger notes imported pattern plates exaggerate skirt spread at the low hem, producing unwieldy fullness that heavies with width and flutters in a breeze. It argues for moderate fullness, questions lower shoulder waists, and observes spring walking dresses rarely exceed four yards at the hem.

The piece details velvet bow boas with floral clusters and tule scarfs for gowns, and describes a Japanese fancy dress with an overdress like a dressing gown and a denim reinforced hem. It also covers dust ruffles from worn dresses, veils, and evolving hat fashions including divided skirts and bold headwear trends.
A Chicago spectator describes a conjuring act where a four foot stick appears held by two men and a performer's open hand against its lower end. The apparent force is faked by directing effort vertically while the hidden contact sells the illusion.
