A fragmented column recounts a woman’s eerie encounter with a deceased friend and shifts to medical propoganda about Dr. Pierce’s remedies. It catalogues cures in women’s health, praising Favorite Prescription and Golden Medical Discovery, and mentions historic songs and composers as side notes.
Fragmentary notes mix humor and obituary rumor from a Chicago Tribune brief and a professor student exchange. A joke about a false funeral notice surfaces alongside a stocking anecdote and a cheeky Christmas quip about cheerful givers.
A miscellany of observations and trivia from late 19th century life. Notes cover high land prices in London, a Lombard street sale, the oldest apple tree in Cheshire, a Birmingham bicycle jointless rim plant, long-established German papers, Indiana's 1895 votes, beliefs about crows and weather, Japanese submarine cable plans, rising cost of Chinese brides, and aluminum in French trains.
Phillip B Strong in Ri Horn? a poem urging boys to strive for a brighter world through kind deeds, clean speech, and noble aims. It presents three guiding maxims: kindness, purity of speech, and elevated purpose, as a path to making the world better for all.
The Australian Weekly recalls a turning point in Jenny Lind’s career as a twenty one year old in Paris failing a voice test before Signor Garcia. After six weeks of rest and language study she returned, conquered the master, and rapidly rose to fame, while reflections on teaching, Jesus, and clear speech offer moral contrasts. It also recounts Hero and Midget the dogs resolving a village feud with a brave rescue effort and reunion.
A humorous sketch describes Cuban courtship as highly supervised by family and servants. Couples must meet daily under watchful eyes, with affection exchanged across iron window bars while relatives monitor behavior. A tale of surveillance, etiquette, and stubborn social codes amid romance.
A collage of early notices and product pitches. Includes Royal ABSOLU leavening claim, a farmer’s mule quip, catarrh cure by Cheney Co Toledo, mail order pills, and a Mesmerizing list of names and addresses. Mentions Doctor, Milwaukee & St Paul rail service, Hemet Land Co, and Mrs Eliza Archard Connor.
The passage urges inner discipline and humility in faith, warning that self reliance invites danger. It emphasizes that genuine growth comes from grace, honest self-examination, and dedicating money to God, rather than fault finding in others. It notes that scripture promises support for those pursuing God's will now, not later.
