An account from William Vasse's Three Years' Sport In Mozambique describes a hunter trapped by a wounded buffalo cow. He barely survives a brutal encounter after a desperate maneuver to present his side, reload, and fire as the enraged animal butts and goring attempts miss.
A naturalist observed two robins in a staged death scene as one pretended to be lifeless while dragging the other's body over stones. The living robin then collapsed, appearing dead, only to revive and support the partner before both flew off to a tree.
An eminent surgeon urges parents to encourage children to laugh out loud. He says hearty laughter expands the chest and lifts spirits, benefiting both the child and listeners. He calls merriment contagious and describes a genuine laugh as delightful harmony and the music of life.
A London Tit-Bits quip shares a teacher asking why a hyphen is used between birds and nest. A student replies the hyphen is so the birds can roost on the nest, reflecting humorous misinterpretation of punctuation.
A London Weekly article tours age old humor from the Berlin papyri of Egypt’s sixth dynasty and classic tales. It notes a scribe neighbors the tools of a copperworker and a carpenter, who swap lodgings to annoy him, and recalls a weighty purchase ruse.
A London Chronicle note describes a King John era officer recording drink quantities with pegs and marks in a tavern. It mentions fines for not drinking and the custom of tallying drinks by undone waistcoat buttons, highlighting a rough Midlands and northern variant of tallying a bout.
A dramatic exchange shows a Black defendant asked about mitigating circumstances. He cites personal hardship and family disgrace as reasons, then asks to speak, but an officer interrupts and removes him from the courtroom.
A Chambers' Journal excerpt notes a chemical scent described as resembling burning sulphur. It cites a storm on the isthmus of Darien where a sulphurous odour filled the air, impairing breath for Wafen and his marauding companions as they moved through the woods.
A clipped, fragmented excerpt shows a speaker pleading for forgiveness and expressing intense, paradoxical love, followed by a stern warning from an old gentleman. The text reads as a dramatic, incomplete exchange with implied conflict and emotion.
