A brief poem titled Nor Will Fug or Spray Ever Harm Them offers a quaint summer scene aimed at young readers. The verse evokes gentle nature imagery and a carefree mood appropriate for children and families.
The piece extols serge for seaside wear due to its wrinkle resistance and colorfastness with new striped and colored varieties. It details a fashionable young woman outfit featuring shadow weave serge, blue and white stripes, pongee trimming, and a shadowy lace ruffle. It notes gloves are largely avoided in summer, except for prettiness, and describes hats, parasols, and rough chip materials.
Olive Harper notes children attire focusing on sailor suits for boys aged 1 to 6, with serge knickerbockers for rough use and blue and white striped sailor shirts. Embroidered anchors or pistols brighten outfits. hats vary from caps to faring straw with ribbon darts, while long stockings persist despite labor for mothers.
The San Francisco Examiner reports a curious cabinet portrait operation tucked under a staircase in a frame building on Pennsylvania Avenue. A long lease at $2 monthly funds a private darkroom studio that quietly reproduces cabinet portraits at scale. Using a large multi lens snap camera, the shop prints 38 copies per negative, selling in bulk for steps like 100 for $2 or 1,000 for $14, enabling cheap counterfeit presents. The produced miniatures serve as badges for crowds at inaugurations and adorn letters, cards, and personal stalwarts across professions.
An Edward E. Hale address frames a moral about true prophecy versus imitation. The piece then surveys engagements in a English county town: 1540 marriages tracked by 82 maiden ladies and 45 officers show 46 lunacies, 885 broken at the start, 282 by men, and 185 fadeouts. Also a humorous exchange from Harper's Bazaar and brief notes on reform and Kate Field’s Washington.
A humorous exchange from Youth's Companion about people’s tetchy pints and family affairs centers on Uncle Isaac and a tale from Ida ho farming days. Napoleon anecdote follows, recounting Bonaparte’s fury over Lucien’s marriage and a notary’s tense dialogue at St. Cloud. The piece preserves period voice and domestic humor.
An English member of parliament urged allowing through the mails any card of regulation size bearing an adhesive stamp. The idea could save post office costs and help rural residents. A local case showed a scented stamped card mailed and delivered, though legality was uncertain.
A Boston Herald letter laments cats abandoned by families on Back Bay during season and calls for humane action. It argues against their starvation and urges a summer home plan or humane euthanization by the animal society to prevent further suffering.
A tree sparrow once built its nest under a crow’s bulky nest in a tall elm. The crow’s nest sheltered the sparrow from weather and danger while the crow’s nest was later robbed of its contents. the sparrow’s nest remained untouched.
