A poignant poem reflects a family’s grief and pride as a vanished boy comes home as a man. The piece contrasts the boy’s laughter with the man’s grave intent, preserving love while mourning the lost boyhood. A Chicago caller adds rhymes about shoes and a Louisville paper prints them.
The piece surveys long dormant germ theories and Pasteur’s cited case of cattle dying from carbuncular fever after twelve years, with soil samples and guinea pigs showing infection. It also discusses somnambulism, gun cotton detonation, and various speculative disinfection and propulsion ideas, plus a spirited letter of banking questions and answers about national currency, bonds, and credit.
In a San Francisco lecture Professor William Denton outlined earth's deep time from soil particles and California trees to glacial beds and remote formations. He cited Jurassic to Silurian layers and granite as the continent backbone, arguing long eras span beyond 100000 years with shifting seas and now submerged regions. He included a Voltaire anecdote and modern diet remedies, and ended with a scatter of brief notices on bicycle riders and a London Ontario church incident.
A compact collection of aphorisms on pleasure love and human nature. The tone links wit and moral observation with remarks on women and logic. Includes reflections on life and death and ends with an advertising line for Greenland Bros promoting pest furniture at low prices.
A fragment from the Detroit Press features satirical The Lime Kiln Club dialogues arguing about capital and labor, followed by notes on Sioux frontier scouts and Sitting Bull, John Tinker and Stafford trial details, a Belgian witchcraft tale, and a string of local curiosities including a mining company scandal and the alleged burial of Hattie Mosely.
