Description of the chopper’s method in Maine woods. He studies the tree’s incline, undercuts with precision, shifts stance, and uses controlled blows to guide the fall. The pine’s descent creates a centrifugal lift, striking ground with top and butt together, buried in snow. Boston Transcript note and a saloon-like closing fragment follow.
A nostalgic reminiscence describes Boston street life fifty years past with the oysterman circulating at dusk crying his wares heard as far as a hotel guest room. It also recalls old city criers like Wilson and John Tyler auctioneers whose calls drew neighbors from doors to listen and safeguard lost children.
English chemist Mr Nesbit finds that soaking stems of cut flowers in weak dye solutions changes their color without harming fragrance or freshness. Prepared lakes yield the most striking effects as flowers absorb colors differently, sometimes revealing red and blue veins in lilies. Nesbit continues investigations into this floricultural dyeing method.
An eight foot tall acacia from Australia on a Virginia farm behaves like a sensitive plant. Leaves fold at sunset and twigs coil. The plant resents being transplanted, emits a pungent odor resembling rattlesnakes, and waits an hour before calming.
A miscellany of patent medicine ads and quips from an old newspaper page touts Hosetetter’s Stomach Bitters for digestion and acidity, Wells, Richardson cures, and various tonics. It cites celebrity endorsements and humorous snippets about daily life, urging trials for dyspepsia, liver issues, and blood disorders.
A New York World story recounts Horace Greeley almost falling victim to a street swindle. A man picked up a pocket book at Greeley’s feet, offering bogus money and demanding an advance loan while claiming a prize if Greeley kept the book. Greeley declined, kept only fifty dollars, and the swindler fled to tend to a sick wife.
A St Louis Globe Democrat report describes Norwegian farming. Meadow hay is cut and hung on poles, with crass grown in every nook and lowered by ropes. Cattle goats and ewes provide cheese, while horses are small ponies used for work. Emigration reduces population but national pride remains high and travel offers delight.
A woman shares her plant growing method in the Evening Post. She uses two parts garden soil to one part sand, keeps roots light, waters as needed, and folds fallen leaves into the soil to decay as fertilizer. She notes afternoon sun yields plants rivaling those in morning sun.
Senor A de La E Delgado of Lima attests that a single application of St Jacobs Oil cured his rheumatic pains in the left arm. He recalls two friends, Mrs Donna Juana Garcia and Mr D Herman Decker, both helped by the remedy. Garcia reports neuralgic pains of ten months relieved, Decker notes paralysis-like symptoms improved after one application, and the author was totally freed after one or two uses after trying many other remedies.
