A long, ornate excerpt recounts Janet, a famed writer known by a pseudonym, and Rosamond Clyde, whose romance with editor Charles Harris culminates in a heroic fire rescue by Janet. A later note shifts to diverse topics including Yucca paper trees, Boston clubs, and a record coal mine depth in Schledebach.
A stark meditation on homelessness and revered home life. Quotations from Beecher about finding dignity in nurturing a true home and public virtue contrasted with scenes of cold hunger and exclusion. Evokes a Virginia clergyman and a Youth’s Companion reflection on filial duty.
Inscriptions on tomb walls at El Kab praise family bond, humility, and aid to the poor amid reflections from priests and governors. The piece contrasts ancient Egyptian virtue with stark details of Russian peasant life, from sparse homes to hard labor, religious routines, and riotous village tavern debates. It notes Swedenwood oil from roots as a lighting substitute.
The piece tours the Capuchin friary beneath their church describing the bone adorned rooms and the rotating niche system for monks. It then shifts to New York’s Potter’s Field history, Hart’s Island burials, and pauper graves with rough pine coffins and trench burials.
A tramp bets two men they cannot ignite cloth with breath. He wins with a handkerchief burned in half, pocketing gold as a lesson in practical chemistry. The tale closes with a Dakota settler learning cautious optimism about future oil and gas booms from his father.
A collage of quips and sketches from multiple papers. The items include scathing quips on critics and poets, a joke about a bystander boy in danger, jokes about burying grounds, and a humorous tale of a Texan cowboy’s failed image.
