Household Brevities and Curious Remedies
A column offers practical tips from oxalic acid for brass cleaning to alum in water for filtering impurities and omelet stability tricks.

Mark Hulings and Family Escape Attacked Millennia Frontier
Mark Hulings and wife Elsa with their baby flee a Shawnee raid near Juniata in 1765. After Glen is murdered, Hulings returns to defend kin, retrieves money from a bundle, kills two attackers, and leads his family across the river to Duncatts Island and Fort Hunter. They reach safety with Gideon Galbraith’s help.
