Excerpted humorous verses about The Rageydolla living in Mareery tada with quirky descriptions of their meals and mischief. A second piece presents a medical note on limp development in humans, explaining leg-length differences arise from cartilage growth and exercise. An alliterative story titled Tiny Tim adds playful wordplay about a child’s adventures and a tricky trap.
A collage of playful riddles on animals and maps, jokes about doors and pictures, plus a seaside recipe for a sunny morning. The text mixes wordplay with light humor, a piecemeal glimpse of a curious old page featuring tales, quips, and whimsical instructions.
In 1865 Artemus Ward teased an audience with a line about “going out to pee a man” that editor Tracey of the Washington Republican improved and published. The gag delighted patrons and restaurants, with men leaving shows to visit a well laden refreshment board. The joke propagates, boosting tavern traffic and restaurant business thereafter.
The famous tenor Brignoli was highly susceptible to flattery and once after applause in New York invited the orchestra to a champagne supper at the Everett House, costing him 500 dollars. He was cautious of his voice and fearful of drama, taking three quarters of an hour to reach the street in winter. He paced the hall ten minutes, lingered twenty in the lobby, then paraded the vestibule fifteen minutes, opening the door to let in cold air.
At a Chicago area convention a speaker praised a personal friend nominated for a close district noting his wartime and peacetime service. A heckler urged choosing the man who can run best, and the speaker reaffirmed the nominee’s well known war record.
The article surveys beliefs about green as a powerful color. It notes Green 14 as Venus dhoyen color and Freya Friday symbolism, links green creatures to mystery, and suggests green hazel eyes indicate special perception. Clairvoyants tie green to intellectual power, contrasting with blue, rose, and scarlet symbols.
Narrative of two Frenchmen in a boastful quarrel who duel in a wooded pass. Their seconds help, a stumble leads to accidental injury, a minor bleed, and a toast to vindication. A fragmentary humor piece blends misheard dialogue and stray quotes from writers and publics.
A historical newspaper fragment covers games like Letter-Choice and Quotation Party, plus dream meanings for racing and singing, then shifts to puzzles about the number 142857, hiccup cures, jelly lane verse, and playful verses reflecting leisure reading and curiosity. It mixes instructions for a alphabet game, dream symbolism, and light poems.
A garbled Mi moni a tale recalls a whip scene and misread names amid a boy praised by a tutor after a mistaken corporal punishment. The piece shifts to Paris organ grinders with Danton defending their music, a controversy tied to liberty in the streets before his guillotine and the Westminster Gazette notes.
A critique notes Indian hotels carry high prices for poor comfort and feeding. Beds, meals, and service are described as inferior, with dirty tableware and inattentive staff. The writer, from Indus Public Health, argues better value exists even in lower tier accommodations in England compared with Calcutta first class hotels.
Dr William H Thomson argues in Everybody's Magazine that the mescal button from a Rio Grande valley cactus induces vividly colored scenes before the eyes of the entranced. It fascinates landscape painters but does not improve efficiency. The Kiowa used it in religious rites until missionaries prompted removal.
A fragment poem and stray text discuss estimating storm distance by counting seconds between lightning and thunder. It notes sound speed as 1,800 feet per second and multiplies seconds by 1,100 to find distance in feet, giving an example of ten seconds equaling about 11,000 feet.
