A novelty of motoring in Norway is described as a car travels through desolate districts while locals stay indoors and cattle are moved to safety. Authorities posted notices to warn people to keep away and protect animals during the event. The piece then shifts to a light anecdote about Molly’s aunt and a humorous exchange from The Delineator about husbands.
An ad asserts that health relies on right living and timely remedies. It promotes California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as a simple, wholesome laxative for general satisfaction, urging purchase only from the genuine product through leading druggists.
A Kansas City Star excerpt shows a tobacco store debate over how to judge a cigar. A customer and dealer quarrel about ash tests versus burn evenness and conclude that the true test is lighting and sniffing to distinguish Havana from alfalfa.
A historic note describes a home remedy mixing one ounce compound syrup of Sarzaparilla and one ounce Toris compound with half a pint of whiskey. Taken by table spoonful before meals and at bedtime, with vigorous bottle shaking before each dose. Claims rapid restorative effects after the first doses.
In England a process creates metallic ribbons about a mile long in roughly one minute. Molten metal flows through nozzles onto a rapidly rotating water cooled drum, solidifies instantly, and is ejected as a continuous, uniform ribbon. Ribbons can be as thin as one thousandth of an inch, using aluminum, lead, zinc, tin, copper, silver, and gold.
A witty quip about The Palms Hotel remarks on its name and palm absence. A playful suggestion notes guests discover a palm surprise from the waiters on the final day of their stay, as referenced by Puck.
The piece lauds Jules Verne's Finding the North Pole as a masterful romance predicting real polar feats. It notes Verne's prescience beside Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in 80 Days, drawing parallels to Peary and Cook. The tale centers on rival explorers and the sharp tensions over claiming polar glory.
Capt. Hatteras and three companions endure a brutal polar ordeal after mutiny tears apart their ship the brig. With dwindling provisions and a dying ally, they dig a hut in the ice using a distantly survived stove while the mutineers loot and burn the vessel.
A fragmented mosaic of 19th century health ads and light humor notes. References Hall's Catarrh Cure and Dr Pierce pellets vie with jewelers of anecdotes. Includes Oscar Wilde style quips and a London opinion quote about Lionel Brough at a northern lunatic asylum.
An elderly Ohio woman credits Dean's Kidney Pills with curing long standing kidney trouble and renewed health. The ad cites Mrs. L. C. Fridley of Delphos who says the pills freed her from back pain fatigue and weakness after years of decline. Remember the name Dean's.
