Angippaiia reports extreme antipodean summer heat with Adelaide recording over 100 degrees in the shade and peaking at 107 while Melbourne saw the 100 mark again.

The piece closes with a proverb about betting on the ocean races over riding on them.
A dramatic Easter scene unfolds as a man in a church gazes up at a carved lattice while Sister Simplicia observes from the choir. A single lily tears and falls as the Mass hall fills with memory and a whispered recollection of martyrdom accompanies the seraphic poem “The Easter Miracle.”
At the Convent of Our Lady Easter morning, Sister Simplicia, long a cloistered mystery, emerges through a radiant service. Her calm face lights with worship as lilies crown the chorus and her voice brings the Stabat Mater to life for a grateful audience.
The scene portrays Sister Simplicia in a dramatic moment as she sheds her veil and returns to nunhood, the organ and choir swelling in a triumphant finish. Her posture remains upright, eyes lifted, and the transition from Woman to Sister completes the emotional arc. Edith Sessions Tupper writes with religious symbolism and vivid sensory detail.
A instructional piece describes making Easter cards from square paper by folding corners to form a card. It details materials such as rough watercolor or care fridge paper, plush yellow chicken shapes from cardboard cot ton and plush, scented cotton, and careful gluing and shading with brown paint.

The stranger offers a dime, expecting repayment, while the bartender refuses the request. The man flaunts the dime and demands the whisky, gulping it down after the drink is set before him.
The piece outlines Captain McDougall’s whaleback design evolving from freighter to potential armored war vessel. It describes heavy prow armor, internal guns, ballast tanks to sink the ship, and a plan to build merchant whalebacks for subsidized government use. The concept is praised for progress and practicality after past ridicule.
A Salt Lake City shopper recalls a store encounter about seven sealskin sacks. The man insists all seven sacks be identical to avoid his seven wives causing trouble at home, prompting the speaker to say polygamy may not be the rosy stereotype some locals hold.
The article traces early American cooking stove development from pre 1745 imports to Benjamin Franklin’s 1745 invention and subsequent coal burning and inverted designs. It notes further improvements by Count Rumford between 1785 and 1795 and the 1798 introduction of soap-stone lined ranges in New York, spreading broadly.
Samuel W. Van Dulen recalls a boyhood farm tale from Delaware. At dinner his host offered pie only if he ate turnips, a habit he avoided for a week until the seven forfeited pies were finally served as the reward.
