In a public park at Calcutta are several birds of the aljutant species and average about six feet in height. These birds parade in a stately way and at a distance look so much like soldiers that strangers often mistake them for grenadiers. Women, like peaches, are sweetest just before they decay.
An article explains two hand types among celebrated pianists, focusing on musculature, finger strength, and technique. It notes Liszt and Hambourg as class B hands, cites Tausig as class A, and stresses years of daily practice, avoiding mere finger gymnastics. It mentions Von Bulow's triad of technique and the value of strengthening left-hand bass notes.
The Senate Committee on Manufactures directed a Department of Agriculture audit into food adulteration. Findings show widespread tampering not always reducing health but skimping on value. Soap used to adulterate distilled liquors, glucose in wines, lemon extract with no oil, and varied mustard bases were reported. A Connecticut study found 32 of 102 pepper samples lacked pepper. Reports also note cottonseed oil in lard and oleomargarine replacing butter, with 1083 of 1777 Pennsylvania samples containing oleomargarine.
