Humors of Examinations and Courtroom Tidings
A collage of wit from Dr Ogilvie’s Scottish training reports and stray humorous exchanges. Pupils misdefine ducks and Ruskin, while a deflating tale of a new maid exposes blunt judgments. A late courthouse exchange reveals weary counsel admitted by listening to a brother.

Fragments and Jests in A Dated Column
A jumble of quips and notes from satire and humorous items. The text mixes Punch style wit with Indianapolis material and a mock remedy claim about Milta and bees. It touches on Saratoga style gags and a stray line about Russia and California, all reflecting a late 19th or early 20th century humor column.

Great Bell of Schaffhausen to Lose Voice Amid Restorations
The Schaffhausen Munster bell, tied to Schiller’s Lied von der Glocke, dates from 1486 and faces retirement after centuries of service. A crack appeared over a century ago and recent repairs hide its sound as it shares a new peal with four other bells. In Bern, Switzerland, the silver monastery bell survived 1798 vandalism, painted funeral black to avoid plunder.
