Stead, Sagasta, Carnegie, Abdul Hamid, Henry Watterson, Bret Harte, and Hetty Green in a string of social and political asides. It includes a quip about a Japanese jinrikisha man’s life, a New York gold brick, and a locust plague among children.
A garbled fashion column reviews a novelty lorgnette mirror, skirts with many gores, and waist ideas for coats. It offers housekeeping tips: milk bath for oilcloth, potatoes stored well, sugar in stove blackening, salt in coffee pot cleaning, whitening paste for mirrors, brass polishing with lemon, vinegar tea for vases, onions in dry cool spaces, and salt in boiling cracked eggs.
