A chaotic collage of jokes and wry observations on public figures, fashion, sports, and society. It riffs on a famed man’s influence, a cow in St Paul seeking theater, poetry, patents for women, military ties, Wall Street quarrels, and a parade of absurdities from Kipling to telephones and police.
A New York wedding party horses attached to a couch bolted after rice and old shoes were tossed nearby. The incident oddly boosts the automobile’s claim as the road’s safest conveyance.
Edwin Entwistle, once a teen fireman on Stephenson’s Rocket, recalls the 1831 Manchester Liverpool run that launched rail history. He describes the voyage with a 15 mile test, the Wellington Huskisson accident, and the crowd along the line while noting his later emigration to the United States and settling in East Des Moines.
At a St Johns convention Janes Hagerman discusses trimmers noting some mirror old John Thompson of Clairmont who never did a decisive deed. Swiss maidens prize edelweiss as proof of devotion but laws curb plucking. A Chinese reformer cites a brutal Oxford educated killer as a case against capital punishment, arguing for abolition.
A Century article notes Cossacks as a war caste in a demicrital organization. They are primarily of Russian origin with Mongol and Tartar admixture. Non Russian elements include Budd histic Karmucks Burlate and Kirghiz. The piece discusses occupations, celibacy, agriculture hostility, and the military reliance on horses and manpower, with numerals on populations and armament.
A writer describes borax deposits near Tres Morros or Moreno in Argentina as fields rather than mines. Workers dig into the crust like potato farming, uncovering whitish borax masses in rows, with sizes ranging from a hen’s egg to one cubic foot, drying in wind to reduce moisture.
Fragmentary verse praising a sovereign-like woman who may name terms and claim homage. The text weaves archaic tone with garbled lines about beauty, power, and royal prerogative, mentioning a world that is hers by right and reflecting on eyes, wit, and influence.
Admiral Togo leads a legendary, fearless Japanese navy known for calm endurance. A mutely described youth tale portrays students at a naval banquet facing a revolving cannon and hidden trigger, testing nerve and discipline as part of a brutal training myth from Nippon's warrior school.
A misaddressed letter from a French firm of lawyers complains of a disturbance near a Grande Seminary in Montreal. The missive, awkward and mixed in tone, asks the recipient to address a nuisance or legal action, mentioning sleepless neighbors and disruptive theatrics by a band. It hints at an imminent legal procedure and accountability.
David Godkin of McKinney Texas shows a tame tarantula in Chillicothe to astonished friends. The pet, about mouse-sized, reportedly enjoys handling and will bite only when provoked. Godkin claims years of training and notes tarantulas eat rarely, sometimes weeks apart, and possess notable energy.
