A mixed-era column surveys balloon dreams across the Atlantic, prison name changes, royal horseflesh costs, and quotes from New York editors. It riffs on immigration, public secrecy, Sing Sing executions, a Nebraska insane plea, and spring fever about strawberries.
A New York Advertier report describes the bashikouay ants of Africa as vast, two inch wide marching armies that devour prey on the spot. Officers guard the line, burrow underground when heat bites, and unleash a ferocious front surge that drives elephants, antelope, gazelle, and humans to flee.
A newly married New Yorker, new to gardening, accepts seed advice from coworkers. A Hoboken friend replaces radish seed with dried herring toe. The man plants fish heads in soil to trick the joker, who returns and sees the prank. The prankster escapes as the crop begins to appear.
A Georgia observer lauds a multi step cotton to garment feat shown at the Atlanta Exposition. A Philadelphia Record proprietor showcases a tree to printed newspaper process completing 10 000 records in twenty two hours, detailing quick timber to print timelines.
A cautious survey notes tidal friction slows Earth gradually, losing about an hour every 16 000 years, aligning with Newtonian ideas that motions in space suffer retardation and may eventually stop, causing the planetary system to falter.
A fragmentary religious reading page presents verse about waiting for light beyond clouds and longing for sunny days and loved ones. It transitions to Hosea Q. Blaisdell’s poem line and ends with Dr Horace Bushnell’s critique Why prayers in the morning often conflict with worldly family pursuits and how piety can yield Godless outcomes.
The text extols intimate prayer as the sole route to true rest in God amid life’s providences. It argues God uses divergent trials to curb pride and deepen dependence, rewarding faithful, constant prayer and private devotion. It urges believers to dwell in silent, daily contact with the divine heart, wherever they are.
Dr John A Broadus new book argues Christianity must be lived, not summed as creed, with emphasis on Jesus as the embodied savior and personal path. A British Medical Association paper by Dr Norman Kerr condemns indiscriminate use of intoxicants in influenza, calling alcohol an anesthetic and paralyzant. A quip and a jokey exchange about rain prophecy closes the item.
A temperance essay extols pure water from heaven as the ideal drink, contrasting it with wine and beer and warning of alcohol’s harms in children. It recalls cases of memory decline in a boy misusing alcohol and a German Alsace incident over whistled tunes, then a humorous village scene and a Sunday school joke.
A compendium of anti drinking sentiment outlining the ruinous effects of alcohol on individuals and society. It cites Archbishop Ullathorpe on vice and misery, temperance hospital efforts, crime linked to drunkenness, police and charity concerns, and regional incidents from Boston, Chicago, Fort Leavenworth, and The Dalles with figures and anecdotes.
A Delsarte instructor boasts how his pupil’s dress fit improved, then a New Yorker aged about fifty discusses not wearing a watch. He claims time sense comes from habit and facial feel, and notes trains and boats make a timepiece useful.
A New York Financier note highlights that 58.86 percent of daily settlements among 48 banks are checks, with only small fractions in gold, silver, and paper currency. It argues checks are more practical for business, as most deposits are not currency but check-backed balances. Arab proverbs and a South Pasadena boy’s blackberry record appear in the same column.
A noted figure associated with the Light Brigade works as a plumber in Indisaspolin Heya, with a lapse in recalling how to bill for charges. The anecdote reflects a rare personal detail about a historically famed soldier's later life.
