A collage of humorous exchanges features a pen that proves to be a fountain pen, a passenger arguing about fares in a crowd, a German daughter and father in a clash over novels, a shark’s boast about a morse choice, and a comic graveyard moment as a sea monster called Creat Boott dies after a single gulp.
In Palestine a sermon series opens with Dr. Talmage recounting his journey through the Holy Land and neighboring lands. He emphasizes the rarity of meaningful pilgrimages, cites travel and harbor dangers at Joppa, and reflects on how witnessing can deepen faith as he describes the voyage and visions of Palestine.
The narrative recalls entering Joppa on December 1, 1880, with vivid images of holy hills and Dorcas of the needle. It contrasts Turkish hostility toward Jerusalem with the speaker’s awe at biblical sites and the port streets, then layers reflections on Peter’s house top vision about Jews and Gentiles, the tanner Simon, and the call to broader Christian duty beyond comfort.
The author reflects on steam power and progress, then shifts to a biblical vision of God guiding humanity. He cites Jonah and Nineveh, contrasts ancient temple building with modern Christian labor, and urges collective effort to “build the temple of righteousness” on earth while recalling his night in Jaffa and a hotel room once occupied by General Gordon. The piece blends historical technolog yprogress with religious exhortation and travels in Palestine.

A French writer has not collected Bismarck sayings and many are odd. Examples include lines about Bavarians Autrichians and a critique of Austria England and Prussia. The remarks parody diplomatic speech and foreign policy with humorous misstatements.
A lawyer sent to England by the Mosher faction refuses to reveal what he has learned about a vast claim they assert. The group contends they own 110 million in property, and disputes over payment of 16,000 are mentioned amid the owed sum.
A fragmented early 20th century column extols housework as beneficial for women and notes walking alone is insufficient. It argues systematic domestic chores train different muscles, save time with planning, and cites anecdotes about social norms, health ads, and a misread joke about New England capitals, hinting at literacy and tone of a domestic advice feature.
A woman willing to walk miles for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription says the medicine improves tone and regularity soon after starting. A dollar buys a bottle with a money back guarantee if results disappoint. Pellets for stomach liver and bowels are mild and effective.
