A country house tale recalls a kind crow helping a trapped hen by carrying corn to it over six days. The story shifts to craft and puzzles for kids, explaining a bow and arrow build, arranging digits to make 100, and a coin illusion with playful hypnotic tricks.
An ordinary coal shed dog named Pup earns his keep by alerting a burning home. He toils to wake the kind lady who feeds him crusts and bones, rings the front bell with his mouth, and guides fire crews to safety. The house is lost but a grand dog house bearing Pup’s name is built for him.
A collage of deadpan gags and a long excerpt from the Montreal Herald about a Japanese house. Jokes include why pants are short, spring woods danger, and a riddle about an umbrella. The piece closes with an extended humorous description of an ultra minimal Japanese residence with movable panels and paper walls.
A Jacksonville Times correspondent recalls a rainy day scene where a stray kitten, blue ribbon and gray fur, is saved by a Newfoundland dog that carries it to safety. The act prompts reflection on humanity and compassion in a world where both people and dogs display kindness or indifference.
A description of a storytelling game where players hold ribbon ends and the reader holds the other ends. The reader begins the tale and may break a ribbon—its holder must immediately continue the story until another ribbon is pulled, passing the storytelling to the next player.
A local scandal rocks Bingville as Deacon Butterworth is accused of an improper embrace with Lem Brown’s wife Mary Simpkins Brown. Lem Brown confronts the Deacon after returning from jury duty, leading to a public quarrel and lasting social fallout for both families.
In Welsh museums and relic collections domestic life spoons stand out. The wooden spoons are carved in quaint styles, some elaborate others simple, with early examples likely love tokens from young men to their sweethearts. In ancient England pewter spoons were used.
A reminiscence in which a father doctor takes children on a call and explains grave markers and a carved finger pointing upward. It touches on the origin of betrothal symbols and Welsh love spoons, noting their designs, cultural role, and near extinction, with a museum example cited. The piece shifts to an exhumation case about Mrs O’Tiorda and a suspect, where an earring disputed by two men is finally confirmed missing from one ear, clarifying ownership.
A Portland, Maine paper attributes a recent storm to a hoodoo schooner named Donna T Briggs arriving at port Saturday morning. Sailors credit the Briney’s presence with foretelling rough weather along the waterfront, predicting a storm as ships dock and crowds gather.
Portland man Daniel G Lovett displays a one foot doll brought from England sixty five years ago. The doll wears 1840s fashion and a hat true to the era. Lovett also preserves old teacher rewards, slips once deemed great by 1840 era children.
Willis L. Fish of Bethel Vermont removed a large hive from a chimney in his home that had not been used for eleven years. He found about five hundred bees had made the chimney their home, with honey forming a sizable cluster.
