A collage on cat and dog nature contrasts temperaments, intelligence, and responses to punishment. Dogs show magnanimity and quick forgiveness, while cats are moody, irritable, and seek comfort through petting when ill. The piece also includes stray anecdotes from period writings on Navy signaling humor and a quip about a refrigerator door mirror.
A 19th century sketch describes a Russian Christmas custom where a district host announces a fete that gathers young men and village maidens. Veiled brides are chosen by lot, with the winner becoming the betrothed. Breaching the tradition incurs a heavy fine, while bribery could aid a lover’s chances. The piece mixes other anecdotes about doctors and Africa’s spider tree, ending with Macaulay’s wit about barber margins.
A veteran anecdote recounts a Franco Prussian War conference on France’s indemnity. Bismarck, von Moltke, and a trusted financier debate figures, Moltke calling for restraint and the financier asserting French resources. The financier later goes blind after choosing duty over treatment, prompting Moltke to acknowledge his error. Also notes rare gold and silver bugs in Central America and caveats on scowling and sowing. Includes short notes on animal care and a Chinese method for hunting wild ducks.
