A New York Sun note ridicules extreme punctuality claiming some people insist on always arriving ten minutes late. It argues punctuality can be smug and undesirable, while lateness can be a humane, even admirable reform against social pretensions.
Xavier de Montepin, once rejected by a publisher for a long adventure tale, later sold the same sensational serial story for 20,000 francs. The publisher finally paid after protests, admitting the work had been previously offered and failed in other efforts.
Ecclesiastical leaders praise ski sport in special early services titled skeeing prayers held across churches. Visitors might mistake houses of worship for barracks, yet the programs are popular and seen as promoting healthy bodies and robust health for the community.
The article discusses early Chinese use of the compass to guide long journeys across plains and seas. It notes an ancient device given to ambassadors from Cochin China to aid their return about 1100 years before Christ. The spread to Europe occurred over two millennia later via Arab intermediaries.
A London Chronicle note ponders readers who skim by sight or hear words aloud. It recalls an item about Wick, mentioning election and Pictish relics, and invites readers to repeat the phrase while considering reading methods.
The article details the weasel’s size about six inches long with an inch and a half height, its light brown back white throat, small black eyes, and short ears. It hunts at dusk in farms, preying on young poultry, birds, and rats, entering holes and barns with swift bounding moves and a flexible body. The female makes a grass lined nest with three to five young per litter.
The article notes traditional snake bite treatments across cultures, highlighting wound suction as the most effective immediate remedy. It cites African cupping practices and ancient methods, including Cato’s expedition using snake charmers named psylli who performed rites whose benefit is described as wound suction.
Bamboo forms most Javanese instruments. A three foot pipe produced a lion like roar. A bundle of tubes cloaked the boy bearer like a saddle. A carved log with strings acted as a drum. A sixteen string zither and a two string mandolin completed the outdoor band. Inside, gongs offered pure tones.
Sawkins recalls Aunt Abbie age eighty four with poor sight and hearing causing a kitchen curtain blaze during a visit. She alerted others by shouting fire and led neighbors to aid while Sawkins and his wife contained the flames. The old man Sawkins Sr appeared in a nightshirt and swallowtail coat to assist, later returning home with his costume to show his wife.
The text recalls Dr. Samuel Johnson known as the Ursa Major of English letters who used extraordinary memory in reporting debates. It recounts how Hawkesworth read a poem to Johnson and Johnson suggested reading it again to judge originality, then later quoted nearly the entire poem to prove plagiarism suspicions.
