Odds and Ends from a Curious Era
A collage of curiosities and odd facts from the era. Notes range from ten cent lectures and mutton in Maine to Vermonters traveling less, gas weighing proposals, and a Scooping of quirks about Paris dwellings, Storms of health and humor. Includes mentions of Miss Carrie Sain and Vinnie Ream, a Times opinion on three wartime ships, and a mix of social, political, and quotidian squibs.
