Employment notice from a Montreal firm offering plain sewing work either at home or full time. Describes pay, charges, and required full particulars for applicants.
A historical notice discusses Keelys great fraud tied to a new Franklin Institute project in Philadelphia. It mentions the original Key Motor claimed to yield immense power, Keelys decades of testing, and alleged deceit through peculiar lingo and performances. The entry hints at a hydraulic source in a cellar and reflects on lasting misperceptions about the discovery.
An old sea captain recalls stowaways aboard ships as he describes a weary stowaway and a harsh voyage. He recounts past incidents of mutiny like sailors refusing tasks and the danger of reporting stowaways to authorities. He notes fewer stowaways in modern times and the fear of prison keeps them away.
A curious display features four study sculptures modeled from two tigers guarding a hall at Princeton. The pieces were mostly created in a Central Park animal house with keeper urging to pose, yielding lively tiger poses and a humorous encounter with a laughing jackass described by the owner. A maid applicant causes family trouble after misreading a job ad as the crowd watches.
Women divers employed in Japan work long hours underwater to gather pearls and sea life. They face buoyant pressures and risky depths, earning 12 to 50 cents a day with some saving for dowries while enduring heat and fatigue.
A note recalls General Grant's quip on why Russian forces failed to take Constantinople and a telegraph delay. Sotheby's sold a Kipling poem sheet for 8 pounds. A letter discusses the poem Recessional and its reception. Byron letters and Lambs correspondence are also mentioned as archival items.
The text appears to be a garbled OCR fragment from a court or news item. It references a defence attorney objecting to evidence, judges retiring to consider, and unclear dialogue about a miss and letters. Several stray phrases mention a fourteen year old girl, a dance, and a lecturer, all embedded in broken sentences.
An old patent medicine ad extols Nervilin for nerve pain, cramps, stomach aches, and diarrhoea with internal and external use claims. It includes testimonials, pricing, and distribution through storekeepers and The Catarhezone Co. Also contains a miscellaneous crime vignette about an image hoax and a night porter misstep.
The text warns that lightning kills many annually and emphasizes indoors as safer than outdoors. It notes dangers of shelter under trees and advises avoiding high points, tall trees, and crowded outdoor areas during storms. The fragment reflects dated, general safety recommendations without clear authorities or modern specifics.
A garbled mix of patent medicine pitches for Parmees Vegetabe Pills, a note on Swallow’s bird caught near Utrecht, a street corner orator railing about war, a rural farmer’s fish supper quip, and a Brest dealer fined for selling gelatined caterpillars for snails.
