A quip contrasts men’s days in a stuffy city office with evenings spent in a crowded music hall, hinting at shared weariness and social mores of urban life. The light exchange reflects daily strains and leisure juxtaposed in a single frame.
A new ivory statuette with gold ornaments, height 644 inches, joins the Boston Art Museum. The piece resembles Minoan Crete rather than classical Greece, showing advanced animal study and possible middle Minoan age craftsmanship. The text notes its Cretean features and suggests it marks a high point in Cretan art.
A playful classroom quip has a teacher asking about the future of the verb to love and a quick witty reply from a modern damsel who says it means to get married.
A moralist and a demoralizer spar over truth. The demoralizer mocks honesty as scarce while pointing to a man who earns a living by writing jokes, slyly highlighting the odd ethics of wit and work.
Fragmentary dialogue shows Mrs Knagg warning Henry Knagg she will cut ties if he is late before ten. He replies he will return by eleven and addresses Mr Knagg-Fine prompting a tense exchange.
A miscellany of observations on sneezing causes and reactions and quick quips about whooping cough and women shopping costs. Includes quoted lines from Inquisitive Youth and Laurie's Continuous Performance and a witty exchange from the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
A fragmented note from the New York Mail hints at mastery of geometry in aiming large guns. It references delaying trigger action until the moment of firing and expresses uncertainty about metry. The exact details are unclear due to the damaged text.
In a Philadelphia Ledger piece a bookkeeper tells his employer after three decades of service that he needs more money as he has grown gray. The employer replies with a surprising suggestion to use Blank's hair dye before parting.
The text emphasizes proper sleep room practices. It notes clothes worn in the day should not be worn to sleep and urges plenty of clean fresh air in the sleeping room. Rebreathing air foul after use worsens conditions and sleeping under a warm covering with fresh air reduces cold risk.
In a humorous court scene, a judge recalls a boyish dare about eating, while noting early pocketknives with spring blades were first made in the mid eighteenth century. The dialogue features Lester Livermore-Wil and a challenge to bet the judge.
