A dialect poem from Bemond, Iowa portrays Peleg fearing women gaining rights. The speaker mocks male authority, imagining offices and school directorships contested by women while men resist change and claim strength will shift power.
A collection of veal roast and brown sauce instructions, apple Charlotte, bacon and liver stew, and Welsh rarebits. The page also carries religious and charitable notes praising Dr Barnardo's Homes and the value of parental influence, with details on emigration and care statistics. It ends by inviting readers to request the Homes’ published materials.
Dr Barnardo explains delays due to serious illness but promises a readable detailed year report. The volume presents the annual findings of the Barnardo's Homes charity focusing on orphans and care work during 1894.
A collage of light anecdotes and quips from society life. Jests about royalty and babies, a maid and mistress exchange, a self made woman remark, a proposed horse size, and a Methodist chaplain comment. Clergymen dispute religion, a servant mocks art taste, and an old preacher silences a noisy dog.
The piece lampoons Kope Elias of Franklin and Judge Robinson with political satire. It weaves local names, places like Possom Trot and Elevation, and rural anecdotes about war talk, rail delays, and Christmas customs, all in Nye’s humorous, mock-essay voice.
A collage of child readers and questions for The Progressive Farmer from North Carolina. Letters from Cornsock Durham Forsyth and other counties ask about Civil War generals, the first cigar smoked in the U S and biblical questions, with notes of schooling and farm life.
