A survey tracing units of length and weight from Babylon to Rome and medieval Europe, noting the cubit and foot origins, their propagation into Greek and Roman measures, and the later emergence of the yard and avoirdupois pound amid unsettled Dark Ages standards. The piece also cites a New York Sunday Evening Lecture denouncing the eternal damnation doctrine.

In Maine, Judge Walton laments a criminal sitting with his lawyers at the bar. A table companion quips over a leg of chicken, asking for attire, while a teacher’s New Hampshire home is introduced as May I. Cough.
