A reflection on women’s education arguing that higher schooling benefits society while warning against overextending ambitions beyond homemaking. It notes Marquís Ito as a contrasting example of intellect leading to public influence, and praises universal access to learning through extension courses, libraries, and correspondence studies.

A Star reader asks why druggists' clerks earn low salaries and labor long hours. A subsequent letter advocates uniting with wage workers as a solution. It notes clerks receive less pay and longer hours than any other wage-earner group.
An English dowered figure captivates New York elites by riding astride fencing dancing and singing. At a Paderewski recital hosted by William C Whitney she astonishes guests with a Highland sword dance after two walking sticks are laid on the floor. Known in London for farming baby constrictors and kindergarten patronage.
Tobacco has been grown at no fewer than twenty five centers in Ireland. The leaves are cut and dried and offered for sale. Its excellence for smoking is vouched for, and there seems no adequate reason why the weed should not boom with the new Irish literature. Growing may bring wealth to the cultivators and perhaps become the envy of American trusts. The man who wakes up to find himself rolding in wealth soon sells out of it.
The piece humorously weighs eggs and poultry data from 1900, noting total egg output, per person shares under a hypothetical distribution, and price ranges.

A New York visitor recounts a comic mishap at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo. An elephant in the Midway, attracted by a pin on a woman's belt, plucks the pin free with its trunk and, after three near misses, delivers a sharp poke into her back provoking a startled scream. The crowd, meanwhile, roared with laughter at the playful incident. The elephant remained a quiet observer of the scene.
An amused anecdote shows a German innkeeper fixated on the German candidate Heidelgraff for alderman, ignoring other races.

The tale ends noting intolerance from those who hate you indicates poor taste.
