MISSING LINKS. Victorian miscellany hints at global contrasts
A survey of odd facts and notes covers theater density in Italy, corned tobacco seeds, costs of city governance, French soldier gear, and legal height limits in D.C. It roams from Russian customs to American mining women, blessedly brief insights into desiccated milk, gold karats, Swiss school holidays, and the electrical light's time savings for canal ships.

The Brooklyn Eagle debunks night air fears and moonlight madness while mocking cattle, soldiers, and hunters who supposedly thrive in night air. It contrasts old beliefs with absurd tales of frogs in granite and a humorous reflection on English complexion and American women’s hygiene.

The Wild Horses Of Nevada Three Thefts And Rancher Fires
A Reno reporter relays tales of Nevada wild horses numbering over 200 000 threatening ranchers. Legislatures allow shooting stallions to reduce populations while ranchers cull horses to protect cattle and sheep pastures. Farmers turn culled stallions to swine for meat as efforts to control the herds intensify across Elko Iron Point and nearby ranges. The piece cites a San Francisco Examiner transmission.

How the Orange Blossom Came A Pretty Spanted Legend
A Spanish legend explains orange blossoms at weddings. An African Prince gifts a famed orange tree to a Spanish King, a gardener’s daughter wins a dowry via a branch, and a crafty ambassador secures it. On the wedding march she and her hair again bear the lucky bloom, and orange blossoms become a bride’s adornment.
