Walter T. Pierce of South Charleston Ohio, named fellow of romance languages at Johns Hopkins, recalls a nature study incident. A tree blew down on his parrot, causing a blood-curdling shriek and the bird fainted, then recovered and sought protection from anyone who would notice.
A dated trick uses twelve face down dominoes aligned in a row. By spelling numbers aloud and moving pieces to the ends, the fourth piece turned reveals patterns like blank or one for two, deuce-blank for the next, and so on until the last piece shows double twelve. The method hinges on English spelling lengths and language-based arrangement.
A collection of lighthearted quips and puns on everyday items and people. Jokes touch on P T Barnum, news from England, belts, books, roosters, bookleapers, dogs, words, and Buckingham Palace with playful wordplay and punchlines.
Instructions describe combining two hairpins into a single broad pin with a groove. Tie or wax to create a continuous piece. Ends bent at right angles in opposite directions. Suggested balance on a pencil point for testing.

A colorful guide explains a drawing rebus game where players conceal a city name in pictures. Any number can play with judges if desired. After drawing, players guess which city each image represents and prizes go to the best guesser and best drawing. Judges decide winners.
A City of Austria-Hungary describes naming players and shows two illustrations of a simple water driven balance. Water pours gently onto the top to create balanced jets that travel in opposite directions as the tide mill pivots. The motion can be sustained by adding drops of water as needed.
Zurich police report a Swiss woman was swindled of $1,000 after being invited to a séance. Invocations of Saint John the Evangelist and Saint James led her to lay the money on a table with promise of finding $2,000 later in a chest of dawns to fund a new church, which never materialized.
Children wrote compositions about a giraffe and read them aloud in a play. Little Willig read his with statements claim the giraffe is a dumb animal and cannot express sound due to its neck, mouth, and vocal issues, reflecting a misinformed misunderstanding.
