The Doctor Explains Growth and Nerve Uses in Boys
A Washington Star passage describes a physician explaining why boys grow and how nerve activity changes with age. He compares youthful excitement to drum and horn noises and details cellular growth, eventual senescence, and the concept of predeath debility. Mrs Boggs questions the value of such physiology for happiness.

Varied Odds and Oddities Across the Nation
A collage of curios and anecdotes: pears and timates, gold coins losing value, San Pradele displacing Chicago as a capitals hub, a Jersey City man sundering thousands of doorlooks, and a Thomaston hen. Reports on fashion hats, ship construction for France, and smithy tools unchanged for centuries. Illinois and Wisconsin notes include cruelty to a cow and a glove for a Boston habit. A Chicago fair workweek claims seven killed and eight wounded. Johnson and Hawkesworth debate originality with a memory that proves plagiarism risk. A 12 year old honesty witness thwarts a sly lawyer, while a boy learns truth against forceful cross-examination.
