Poem reflects on a "no account" man seen as the sorrowful, overlooked member of society. It laments constant social push to improve, while many careers demand effort beyond his reach, leaving him freighted with failure. Observers note human differences resist simple labeling.
A scattered 19th century column reflects on figures like the Tinker Runyan and Barnum, a boy who trained as a diver then studied dentistry, and tales of temperance, fate, and personal choices. The piece mulls luck, purpose, and the ripple effects of small acts in life.
A long satirical piece on kissing culture and flirtation, retelling verses about lips that are painted, festive dancers, and social mores. It reflects a reporter’s mock moralizing on love, deception, and the double standards of courtship across social scenes.
A historical note recounts how pocket handkerchiefs were first tolerated in public only under Empress Josephine. It describes social resistance, from stage hissings to polite restraint, and cites Mile. Luobesnois and a Shakespeare translation triggering controversy.
A sermon on the parson as healer of body and soul, urging pastors to engage with physical welfare, housing, labor, and sociology. It defends social ministry, calls for open churches, and warns against sectarian limits while urging active, personal parish work and unity in Christ.

It contrasts Shinto shrine practices, ancestor reverence, and Buddhist devotion with local customs and beliefs.
A Viennese incident draws attention as a young man from a prominent family enters somnambulistic states to paint and draw with remarkable speed.

Two engravings reproduce an Indian head and a likeness of Maximilian, linking occult influence to his work.
The Krupp works led by Friedrich Alfred Krupp prepare a vast exhibit for the Chicago World’s Fair. Four Krupp guns await shipment to Chicago, including a 130 ton piece, transported on special cars.
