An advertisement quotes Mrs. John M. Wright of Mitchell Iowa praising Dean's Kidney Pills after a decade of kidney trouble including back pain and dizziness.

A discussion of the phrase windfall traces its origin to legal land tenures and trees deemed royal property.

The passage cites a humorous exchange from Punch as illustration.
A Charleston News and Courier note frets chickens as a garden nuisance and cites a Brooklyn Flag Factory in the Navy Yard where 80 to 100 women turn out 18 official flag types annually at a cost of about 90 thousand dollars per year.

Aunt Anne, a family matriarch described as a darky, sits with crossed knees in the kitchen when a young girl asks about her shoe size. She notes she can wear eights or nines, but currently has twelves that hurt her, a remark the piece uses to illustrate the era’s casual racism.
